    Thought I'd try local Asian buffet. The food Was horrible. Tasteless for the most part and nothing was hot. I'll never go back.

    Is your basic Chinese Buffet. Nothing special. Only thing the sets it apart is they have sushi which was fairly decent.

    We traveled from CA for a funeral and stayed on the 11th floor of the Ameristar Casino Hotel. We…read morestayed for a week. It was central to Family, Church Services, and Leavenworth Memorial Cemetery. The Hotel was nice, However, they are in the middle of renovations. The services were great. It was nice to have places to eat, drink, relax, unwind, etc... It is a shame they had to close so many features. They used to have an Arcade, Movie Theater, Buffet, etc... An Pho is absolutely delicious! The crab is blue tip crab. YUM!! The Brew Pub food was your basic fried appetizers. We had wings and burgers. We had breakfast at Cafe Primo. Better than the Denny's we tried one morning. Do not go to Denny's! Go to Cafe Primo! The games were great the Bartenders were friendly and actually quite protective of us out of towners. Giving us a heads up when ghouls came stalking. The Beds were comfortable, the rooms nice and warm when it was -12 degrees outside. The hairdryer was broken (usually are in hotels). Several of the lights were wonky and we basically had one outlet to use to charge all of our devices. We chose not to have our room serviced for the week. We called down to the desk and requested items when we needed them. and they arrived immediately. From towels, coffee, water, etc... The fridge maintained out leftovers well. and chilled our waters, one wish... access to a microwave. I also liked that i could log into my streaming services from the TV. Would definitely stay again. They are trying to get back what they had prior to 2020. I think they are doing great! Good Luck on your Future endeavors.

    I was at Ameristar tonight when the tornado warning alerts went off on phones for the county. I…read moreimmediately looked at weather apps to ascertain whether our safety was at risk because Ameristar did not announce anything. About 20 minutes later I left and the sirens were still going off in the county. Ameristar provider zero warning to guests. Although I have a smart phone not all quest have the ability to get personal warnings. This is extremely concerning. It appears profits over the personal well being of customers took precedent.

    Welcome to the best and cheapest high quality buffet in town!! Especially in this economy, it's…read morehard to find a place with so much food and variety for this price. I went for an early dinner around 5 pm and saw that the buffet was fully stocked with options for everyone. They mainly focus on Chinese and Mexican food items and have more than 20+ dishes ranging from Chinese + kids appetizers, all sorts of noodles - lomein to Mei fun, Beef - Chicken - Pork - Shrimp stirfries/main courses, amazing variety of Mexican food ranging from pork and chicken in red sauce, Mexican pasta, rice, fried plantains etc along with 6 types of soups ranging from egg drop to Mexican spicy shrimp soup to chicken n noodle soup - emmmm you name it. Sooooo all this for $14.95 is a steal. Honestly, what surprised me was the taste because usually buffets focus on quantity and not quality - these had a great flavor, were fresh ,full of seasoning and were refilled regularly. The desert section also had decent variety ranging from jellies, fresh fruits to small pastry cakes. Overall, getting this huge selection for that price when you can get barely get 2 burgers at Culver's for $15 or one at five guys ($10 double patty burger) is an incredible deal. Otherwise service was good, servers were friendly and did clean the plates as soon as you finished so that the tables remained clean. The restaurant was kept clean and there was a lot of place to sit even though the restaurant was full at 5 pm. Cheers to great experience without spending a fortune - I will be back for more. Dragon Empire Buffet is worth visiting!

    Visited on a Wednesday night and there were hardly anybody there. They had what I would say was a…read moresmaller selection than most but some differences as well. They had combo chicken, beef, shrimp fried rice which you never see at a buffet and they also had a Mexican section with Mexican rice and taquitos and whatnot. They have single serve ice cream cups in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry which is better compared to self scooping in my opinion. The staff was nice and everything was clean. Prices weren't bad, you can pay for a to-go box if you don't want to stay and load it up as much as you'd like. Not my favorite but it's not the worst I've been too!

    10/10 experience!! First off, we had the most amazing waiter (Ron)- who was one of the best waiters…read moreI've ever had. He was incredibly kind, accommodating, gave great recommendations, and went above and beyond. You never know what to expect with a chain-like BBQ spot, but this place did NOT disappoint. The appetizers were amazing- we got the potato skins and beef burnt ends. The BBQ it self was delicious.. my husband and I got the prime short rib and brisket burnt ends (in photo), cheesy corn, baked beans (were smoky not too sweet), onion rings (SO GOOD), and slaw (a bit watery but okay). I would not recommend the pork burnt ends, the brisket ones were 10/10- thanks for the rec Ron. My kids got the kids rib plate. The kids ribs were a tad bit dry- but the prime short rib we got was UNREAL. Lastly.... The turtle cheesecake..... holy cow... Overall 10/10 experience- highly recommend!!

    We came to town for FIFA World Cup and stayed in Independence. We loved Smokehouse Barbecue. We had…read morebeef ribs and burnt ends and both were deliciously smoked. We tried both mild & spicy sauce both were great with beef. Our servers were very attentive and sweet & packaged up copious leftovers with extra sauces (even better next day). Lovely restaurant space too. Overall fantastic choice. Thanks for well-representing Kansas City BBQ
