Went to Serrano buffet inside the Yamavva casino. Late Mother's Day gift to my mom. She loves lobster as do I. They only take reservations online a week ahead for the Wednesday and Thursday lobster dinner buffet. Dinner buffet starts at 4pm-10pm. It's about $70 per person. We had our reservation scheduled for 4:15pm on Thursday . It took us about 2.5 hrs to get to highland,ca from Long Beach. So please plan accordingly due to traffic. I'm glad we got the earlier reservation because even though it was at 4:15. The line to check in for the buffet was out the door like crazy. We didn't get seated until 5pm. From then you have 90 minutes. The lobster was delicious!!! You get two lobster tails option to dip in butter and one whole lobster per person each time you go up. But it's still unlimited! Prime rib was good, red bean sesame balls, and the ice cream gelato. Everything else was mediocre. But I will gladly pay $70 for all you can eat lobster that was cooked to perfection! It was chaotic at first, finding parking, walking the long pathway into the casino and then heading downstairs to find the buffet and then waiting in the long line. Worth it! Plan accordingly so you don't get overwhelmed by the whole process like I did. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance was typical buffet. read more

Was suddenly craving lobster tails, so my husband made reservations for us this week for their all-you-can-eat lobster buffet for Thursday (the lobster buffet is only available on Wednesdays and Thursdays). Our reservations were for 7:30p. We got in line at 7:15p and were seated around 7:45p. I typically have little patience with having to wait for more than 15 minutes when I have reservations, but I believe the staff did a good job of checking in people in line, having 4 friendly employees handle payments, and then having multiple hostesses bringing groups to their tables. They were very efficient, organized, and friendly which made the extra wait time very tolerable. The main reason why we drove out 35 miles to Yaamava though was for the lobster - and there is where I found it lacking. The lobster tails were very dry and the claws on the whole lobsters hardly had any meat. I do realize that this is an AYCE buffet, and I should not be expecting Michelin star quality food, but as the main highlight of the buffet, it was just a disappointment. One thing positive I would have to say though is that they didn't restrict how many lobster tails you can request at each trip. I saw people carry plates with foot high mounds of lobster tails! So where they lacked in quality, they certainly tried to make up in quantity! They had a couple of cook to order stations that looked interesting (stir fry) but I didn't try them. Their dessert section is typical of what you would find in a Vegas buffet - a sugar-free desserts section, a manned ice-cream station, and a decent selection of sliced cakes, brownies, and cookies. I'm a sucker for chocolate cake and picked up a slice. I found it to be too heavy on the whipped frosting and too sweet for my taste. The winner for me at the buffet though was their dim sum section. It was actually really good! I had 2 of their steamed custard buns and sesame balls that satisfied my sweet tooth in a way that their dessert bar could not. I wish they had more dim sum. Maybe pork siu mai and shrimp har gow? Then again, I really shouldn't be going to an AYCE buffet to be eating dim sum! The service made up for any deficiencies in food quality though - We always had our used plates promptly removed from the table, and our drink glasses were always refilled. Because of the service, I would rate the buffet a solid 3-stars. read more

The seating for the breakfast buffet was quick and easy. The food was both plentiful and tasty. But the service was the real standout. My server, Carole, was attentive, friendly and efficient without being intrusive or hovering. She made me feel welcomed and I look forward to being seated in her section in the future. read more

The food here is overpriced for what you get. I paid full price for the buffet. I would not recommend unless it is comped. The service was excellent. But the food was not. Way overcooked prime rib. A bunch of not well thought out other good. The desserts were horrible. Overall the food was not good. It was very disappointing. read more

Always a great place to visit . The slot machines are top of the line and the variety of restaurants is really good.

I'm a fan of travel and good service but Dewi at the Serrano Buffet inside Yaamava has set the bar high in that area. She just met me and my sister on a previous trip but greeted us with hugs and that megawatt smile and warmth we remembered from our initial meeting. There are two wait staff, her and Cici, that we seek out for professional, attentiveness, courtesy and kindness. They anticipate every need and provide them before we can ask. We plan return trips with them in mind and look forward to visiting with them on all upcoming trips to Yaamava. read more

Great of variety foods & good service love the place to hangout & enjoy the slots machine.

Good food, service. We always enjoy ourselves here. Great choice to be here. We take our whole family!

I had really high expectations for my birthday dinner at Serrano Buffet. More specifically, I was interested in the seafood extravaganza. The wait was approximately 45 minutes to get in but the staff was very accommodating with getting us seated. The buffet however was quite lackluster. The crawfish was small and low quality, there was not much meat at all and they were mushy. I also expected more from the overall buffet, it seems like a Chinese buffet that has crab legs. Ambiance is very buffet like, tremendous amount of dishes on every table and messy overall. Overall the place was not my vibe. read more

在分享知名的 吃到飽 AYCE 的 自助餐 Buffet 餐廳時，總是能獲得眾多的迴響與點閱量，畢竟在可預期的消費金額上就能挑戰自己食量與品嚐食物種類的極限，是一種深具誘惑力、讓人很難抗拒的用餐體驗。 這間位於南加州內陸地區知名賭場 Yaamava' Resort & Casino 內的 Serrano Buffet，在賭場改名前（原本名稱是 San Manuel Casino）就以在週三與週四晚餐時段提供的 龍蝦 Lobster 吃到飽自助餐打響名號，每當開車經過其林立在高速公路兩旁印有龍蝦圖樣的巨大廣告看板時，總是會讓人不自覺地吞口水，下定決心要找時間來大快朵頤龍蝦的美味。 賭場位於距離聖蓋博谷東區約一小時車程的 聖貝納迪諾縣 San Bernardino，附近就是山地自然保育區，賭場到了夜晚在燈光的照射下特別醒目，下了高速公路後蠻好找的。 晚餐時段是從下午四點開始至十點，建議不要等到巔峰用餐時間才來排隊，因為餐廳緊鄰大廳的賭博機台區，排隊的動線是圍繞著賭場而設，除了喧囂的人群更有濃厚的二手煙味環繞，也讓這將近一個半小時的等候排隊時間特別難受。 跟所有的賭場內的餐廳一樣，對於會員與賭場大戶來說都會有不同程度的優惠，目前包括龍蝦的自助餐價格是 $64.99一人，如遇上節慶會進行調漲，用餐前請至櫃台辦理會員卡。 排隊久候多時，終於輪到自己進場大飽口福，同時提供包括大螯但體積較小的波士頓龍蝦與處理好的龍蝦尾，也有色澤亮麗水光誘人的雪蟹蟹腳，這幾道海鮮料理也確實是能夠作為主角具有號召力的水準食材。帶殼的蝦子與淡菜也是海鮮區的食材選擇，但賣相與品質就是中規中矩。 建議在品嚐自助餐時都先將各種風格餐臺都巡禮過一遍，透過各種食物的看相外觀來將有限的食量空間做好規劃，當然這是對跟自己一樣上了年紀的朋友的建議，年輕食量大的朋友想吃啥就拿啥，吃得飽足開心最重要。除了海鮮區，其它的餐臺提供的食物大多是一般水準的品項，也讓人下定決心來專攻海鮮食材。 處理過去殼的龍蝦尾，肉質緊緻富有彈性，帶有淡淡的鹹味與甲殼類食材的鮮味，沾點奶油增添溼潤口感與香氣會更好吃。 整隻的龍蝦吃起來的口味與口感比較豐富，但肉質的份量就沒有單純吃龍蝦尾那般過癮，畢竟自己並不偏好大螯部份那種比較鬆軟的肉質口感。 雪蟹蟹腳的表現讓人出乎意料的好，每支都帶有飽滿的肉質與鹹鮮風味，整體的海鮮食材表現都是水準之上。 品嚐龍蝦頭裡的精華風味也是樂趣之一，挖出來跟少許的奶油混合後以湯匙送入口中，濃厚的海洋鮮香風味是種只能偶一為之的味覺刺激。 肉質飽滿、風味鮮香的蟹腳是讓人一吃再吃的品項，一半以上的肚皮容量都是留給蟹腳和龍蝦的，不愧是作為主打的食材。 在確定自己對於主角海鮮食材的渴望已經獲得充分的滿足後，再將剩餘的食量來嘗試其它的食材口味，如同照片上所呈現的一樣，透過接近聊勝於無的口味來填滿其它用餐過程中空缺。 各種烤肉的品項數量不少，包括烤牛肉、肋排、火雞胸肉、香腸等，但由於海鮮食材的表現過於出色，其它食材品項都像是可有可無、很難在心中激起漣漪、淺嚐即可。蛋糕甜點的種類不算少，但只是一般自助餐水準、口味與外觀說不上精緻的程度。 對照其它平凡的甜品，冰淇淋就像是一位耀眼的巨星，不僅外觀看來就像是自家手工製作的邁向，奶香與果味也特別的濃郁，為本次的用餐劃上美好甜蜜的句點。 這裡平時也有提供自助餐，但龍蝦只有在週三與週四晚間提供，除開龍蝦與蟹腳是會讓自己吃完還想再吃的食材外，其它的食材品項並無亮點，加上累人的等位排隊環境體驗，未來再訪的話絕對是要安排在餐廳開門前就來排隊。 將龍蝦吃到不想再吃也是難得的用餐體驗，總算是將這個期待許久的自助餐餐廳從待訪名單中移除、讓美食地圖的紀錄又增添一筆，有些辛苦但也值得。 read more

She was amazing great attentive and very sweet and nice deserves every tip, the food was good multiple choices and a bit packed but was fine

Nice friendly and prompt service ,Thank you greatly appreciate your service.My server was carol

It was my first time coming here on Friday, the line is extremely long, the time of your reservation doesn't matter because you won't be sat on time. Staff outside and cashiers were lovely however I was taken to my table by an unpleasant manager by the name Jose. He was not friendly at all, he rushed to our table and was overall disingenuous. Beats me how he's a higher up. Other than that my server Cesar was awesome. read more
