Want to start by saying that I appreciate a buffet in this beautiful Hotel Resort, we were excited to try for the first time. Mother's Day weekend was very full, and the line was pretty long we waited about 20 minutes in line to get to the front, and less than 10 minutes to get seated. With all the people the room felt a little crowded, like there is not alot of space, it was very loud from all the people there. Not a calm ambiance. Service was just okay, very sweet girl in the register. FOOD: many different selections of food, I appreciate that. The only issue is that 2/3 options are very underwhelming. I enjoyed the Italian section the most, with the pastas and pizza. I also enjoyed the chicken and BBQ wings on my plate, with a side of mashed potatoes and very sweet corn. The Asian section was pretty bad, and I love Chinese food, there was no Chow main, no Orange chicken, no potstickers. Fried rice was poorly made. The Mexican section was pretty bad, my bf got 3 tacos and he didn't enjoy, he said they were dry and underwhelming and we are Mexican. Dessert has a rating of its own 5 out of 5. No complaints in that department, a lot of great options, the chocolate fudge cake was the highlight of dessert for me. Overall, this buffet is mid, overpriced for sure, not worth the price. I would come back if price wasn't $45 per person. Should be $25 to be honest . My partner said 2 stars, I said 3 because it just needs food quality improvement. If they served sushi this buffet would easily move up in ranking, no sushi. read more

The Grand Buffet - The dessert itself is definitely 4/5 stars. Many different options and all the desserts we're delicious. - Buffets Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Price for children was decent. Some other places would overcharge for children. Selection is pretty decent. Desserts are delicious.

Food was horrible, the crab legs were awful. I don't recommend, I was very disappointed with the food.

Really only had the crab legs to get the most bang for my buck. Only thing I didn't like was that the melted butter wasn't next to the crab legs and it was hidden away but that's about it. Staff was really nice and attentive read more

The Grand Buffet - Dec 2023 - Buffets Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Well, my family and I didn't even eat here. We walked in on Sunday night to have dinner before the Killer Queen concert. The young lady at the cash register was extremely rude, and was irritated that we walked in. We were willing to drop $150 bucks for dinner for three people, but felt our money wasn't good enough for them. We walked out and went to Cafe instead. Great service there. read more

2/24/2024 We came expecting "all you can eat lobster buffet" like every other casino I've been to. Instead, it was one per customer the entire visit. I am very disappointed. We waited over 3 hours to be seated. Once inside the buffet, there were plenty of empty tables and seats. I dont understand about the long wait. If you're expecting all you can eat lobster buffet, you'll be disappointed. read more

I recently dined at The Grand Buffet inside the Grand Sierra Resort. The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Decent variety, but not quite worth the price. read more

I am rating this buffet 4 star because it is probably the best value in this casino and area. The waiters are extremely efficient and courteous. Don't come here expecting Vegas style buffet as this is not Vegas pricing and quality. The overall size of this buffet it's much smaller than all the Vegas ones but of course don't forget where you are, Reno not Vegas! So the cost was about $48 for adults and $28 for kids. There are quite enough stations, there's a salad bar, Mongolian BBQ, Taco Nachos Bar, Carving station with perfectly cooked prime rib, ribs, briskets and yummy side dishes, Asian station with custom made pho or noodle soup, dessert bar, and seafood snow crabs and Fresh Oyster Bar. You can get your Crabs and Oysters grilled at the Mongolian station with seasonings and it will taste 50x better! For the quality of food we got and great service received it was worth the time and money. It is worth stopping in if you have no idea what to eat and don't want to leave this beautiful Casino.

Honestly had better around town. Definitely not worth the price and they do not give all the locals discount just one person per group/player card. Now as for the food it was not that great. Like I mentioned before there are better options around town that have more variety as well as better taste. Staff was okay but could been better. read more

It's so nice to have a "grand" buffet open. $39.99/adult and worth every penny. Many different cuisines to choose from. Fresh, hot, and delicious. Many different healthy options as well. Although I didn't try those . The service was friendly and kept my water glass full. The desserts are out of this world. Especially the crème Brûlée. read more

On an evening when the buffet restaurant was hosting a lobster dinner, the wait into the restaurant was atrocious! I honestly thought all tables were occupied, but they were not! Each guest were limited to have only one lobster tail. There were snow crab legs but shouldn't they be served warm with the melted butter on the side? All the remaining buffet zones were well covered with options. The rate was too expensive despite the quality of the food and the atrocious wait time. read more

#1 buffet in Reno Tahoe hands down. I am extremely impressed with the quality of food and service. The food was absolutely delicious and meticulously prepared. I had to leave a review to express our gratitude. Thank you for a pleasant experience and for making my wife's choice for her birthday dinner a great memory. read more

The service is very attentive. The food options are great and the price was acceptable for a weekend.

Came here lunar new year weekend and it was quite busy after the Lion dance performance. We were a table of 10. We were in line an hour before closing but we're told because of how busy it is they were going to stay about 45 minutes after closing to serve... sure enough they were putting food away 15-20 minutes before closing. We were sat, greeted horribly by the server who was extremely annoyed that we were a large group & definitely rude to their coworker who was also trying to help situate and order our drinks. Not so much variety of food. The pho station looked queasy and the lady who was cleaning the soup spoon was using a dirty cloth specifically to clean the soup soon for mixing the pho ingredients... The crab was really delicious... Everything else was OK. Needed more flavor, a lot more cleaning around the area & stop putting food away during restaurant hours. We were a table of 10 and we barely got to eat anything because of how fast the workers wanted to close. read more

Awful food, had to spit some out and felt mildly sick after. Restaurant is a bit dirty. Two stars for friendly staff and quick seating.

Very disappointed with all the food here. Flavor was not good and just about every desert was a no bake desert. Nasty. No bake banana cream pie. Yuck Oysters were washed with no flavor. Mussels no flavor. Everything was really bland. read more

I am a VIP and I was there to celebrate my birthday with my 3 kids on 5/17. I told the hosted Lily and the stumpy white girl we have other people that wanted to join us that was paying separately and sitting separately. Total people including myself 8 people. I asked Lily of she can seat us near each other in the same area. She said No because of gratuity! and where I was seated first with my kids had 3 small open booth seated back to back. & I asked her to seat them next to us. She said No I already told you! Then my friend caught her laughing at me as I was walking away. & my friend was next to be seated after me. So B**** purposely sat all 3 parties far away from each other and in different area. When someone was seating my niece and her boyfriend, my niece said she told the other host in her ears not to seat her near us! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I actually wanted to have the kids sit at their own table which would be 5 teens total and 3 adults at our own table. That would've still worked out for gratuity reason. I don't think she should be working as a host if she's is going to be rude and unprofessional. I will NOT return to the buffet ever again because of this girl! Also your candies was very old and stale and the cupcakes was dry read more

The Grand Buffet - Very misleading. - Buffets Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The food is all just.. OK.. or a little below. I made so many rounds around the savory section and nothing really seemed worth putting on my plate. I think the Vietnamese noodle bar is prob the outstanding thing, but in that case, WHY NOT JUST PAY WAY LESS FOR A BOWL OF PHO?? Had the prime rib but it was SO salty and kinda dry. Tacos were.. ok. But again, why not pay less for a better taco elsewhere? I didn't have any items that I really liked. There IS a raw oyster bar, but the oysters aren't fresh and it had so many shells in it. The dessert is where it's at. SO MANY DESSERTS! The molten chocolate lava cake with vanilla gelato....... oh manssss. I do want to shout out the wait staff.. they do their best even when it's SO busy!! For the cost, I wouldn't return again. read more

Came on a Saturday morning...food was old and depressingly sparse. The quality was lousy, worse than golden corral. For $33 , it's overpriced. Don't bother unless you're desperate. read more

Ive been to GSR buffett many times in the last 10 plus years. The last couple times this year the food has been horrible. Dry or over cooked. The desserts are old deffinetly sitting out to long, and cold items that should be warmor warm when should be cold. But the worst was the last time tonight. Had a party of 10 made a reservation for 6pm week in advance. Show up and the manager Vasco litteraly said " is all your party here because you have 90 minutes and it starts once you pay. If all your party is not here they will have less time." We were 10 minutes over the aloted 90 minutes and he was at my table completely embarresed us by anouncing that we were over our time and we had 3 minutes to leave so he could have our table. Paying over $600.00 i should have never kept the reservation when he anounced that we would be on a time limit. We will never go there again. We will go to the Atlantas from now on. Better food, a bit higher but quality is far superior. And they have a 2 hour dinning but dont kick you out if you go over. Save your money and go to the Atlantas buffet. Rating iz -zero but that is not a option. Not even a 1 star. read more

Went here for dinner, glad that we don't have to go through long lines. I want my food warm, seems like the food they have is the same as what they served for lunch. Anyway, I love Evelyn & Ramon, servicio excellente! The place is quiet & spacious, nice there is enough space to move around. Many dessert options though read more

The Grand Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The food isn't very good. It's on par with a Golden Corral, which makes the price absurd.

First let me say the food is good. But.... Beware. Before you pay, know that there is a 90 minute time limit. This includes standing in line waiting for your food, choosing items, chewing, swallowing and walking around. I go out to dinner to enjoy my food and time with family and friends. Our time at the table is usually up to 2 hours. Since I realized I'm taking up a table I usually tip very generously. This time we were 30 minutes over our time limit, but getting ready to leave. The waiter came over, looked at our receipt and told us our time was up. He then went and "tattled" to the manager who came over and told us to leave. Our biggest complaint is that the time limit is stated on our receipt AFTER you pay. No where is it posted regarding the time limit before you pay, giving the option of going in or not. We filed a complaint regarding the policy and never heard a thing. Customer Service doesn't exist at GSR. I won't be back read more

Make sure you tip your waiter/waitress personally because the hostess at night will go out her way to micromanage and ensure you have a bad experience if she doesn't get her gratuity. read more

The staff was very friendly and accommodating except for the skinny tall blonde hostess who was a bitch from the start just being passive aggressive for no reason. I came to celebrate a birthday and we just wanted to be seated nearby each other with the tables available we did not care to be seated at the same table since we were paying separately and already in our own small groups separated as couples and mom and kids just wanted to be in the same area which she was aware of but she purposely separated us and said "no I will not put you guys at that booth" after she heard my aunt tell me to request a table near them. I asked our server if we could be moved but when he tried accommodating us as well as another waitress she quickly walked by and said no then they suddenly changed their minds about moving us. We made it work and moved tables anyway ourselves with the booths we already had. Pretty sure she complained to the manager saying we were trying to cause problems since he came to ask us about it but he handled it well and let us continue after we explained the situation to him. It just felt like we were being targeted for no reason by her even if she was having a shitty day or hates her job that's not the way to go about it, wouldn't be surprised if she's the type to spit in food or drinks. I've worked food service before so I get trying to have your coworkers back but we didn't do dog shit to deserve that and the servers just immediately going with her bs didn't make it any better but the rest of the staff didn't treat us any differently which I'm thankful for. We are being served drinks only and having plates collected in a packed buffet its really not a fuss to accommodate that seating when there are tables available to make it work. My family and I visit from out of town pretty often and never dealt with such bs how miserable do you have to be to act like that read more

Service was wonderful for it to be late at night. Also, the environment was beautiful and elegant Marilyn Monroe portraits around restaurant. Food was delicious. Seafood pasta chicken & shrimp. The shrimp was clean no fish taste and chicken tender read more

Lots of stations of different types of cuisines! Selections within the selections. I like that the food is presented this way. It's a lot to choose from but not overwhelming in a volume sort of way. Cold shrimp was plump and snappy. The whole meat carving station was a thing of beauty and cleanliness. Turkey, brisket, my beloved prime rib, etc. The dessert was nice on that mostly all dishes were served in small individual dishes or paper cups. Again, big selection of desserts to choose from. Server kept up with my dishes. read more

The Grand Buffet - MEat for ME! - Buffets Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Low quality disgusting food . Limited selection of choices. Even Brussels sprouts were inedible

It was $70 for two people for brunch. It was the worst cafeteria food. Nothing tasted good. Save yourself and go to another diner

I was on the west coast for work. Actually in the Sacramento area. I got a call for a project in Nevada which was about a two hour drive, so let's go. Route 80 toll me through the Sierra Mountains and right into Nevada. Here's what I learned about Nevada very quickly. Gambling casinos on every block, along with pawn shops. Interesting pattern. Ok, enough preaching. I have always heRd that Casinos have the best Buffets. Whenever I travel for work and there's a casino nearby I try the buffet. *** Disclaimer I Do Not Gamble. Now this buffet is within large casino with all kinds of shops convention halls, and restaurants. Well this buffet is quite large and sort of foods of all the nations. Food stations all around the perimeter. American, Asian, Italian, etc, and of course desert. Well I eye the seafood buffet, but this Italian boy must start with the pasta station. I see the pasta and a sign says meatballs, but when I go for them there not there. Hmmm. Well next stud the seafood, Shrimp to be specific. Not bad but seems bland. I try a few different stations. but sorry , I'm not impressed. Well the desert bar was pretty good. I think I'm going to give up on this notion of good food in casinos.. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. We waited in line 2-1/2 hours and a group of people cut in line close to the front. A couple of guys in line ahead of us went and talked to security about them cutting in line. Security did nothing about it, even though the security woman said when she had walked the line she didn't recognize them. The head chef who apparently is the restaurant manager was extremely rude with a nasty attitude. That made the birthday celebration not so much fun. We will never go back. The food was mediocre and definitely not worth the price they charge. It seems that, the people that disrespect others and feel entitled get their way in society now. It's a sad state our country is in. My sister in law said management/security would not do anything because they were a large party of 12 and it's all about revenue; and she was right!!! The one star was for the server, she was great. read more

Waited an hour and a half to get in, which is normal for a casino buffet anywhere I think especially on a weekend. However, the food was extremely just okay flavor wise. I did not find that there was a big variety of food. It was mostly Asian foods and a big salad bar. Which you could realistically find elsewhere for much cheaper. The dessert options were definitely better though. And the entire staff was really nice and helpful. read more

First time coming and we were suprised with the variety of foods. Although, the crab was over cooked and ribs a bit on the dry side .... I still would come back again. Food was delicious. The sugar free dessert options were a bonus! read more

Unlimited New York Strips and Filet Mignon for $49 per person. Service was good. Ambiance is on par with any other casino-based buffet.

Buffets have endured a lot during the last couple of years. The quality of the Grand Buffet is back and we thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday night steak, crab, and prime rib. The salad bar was well stocked, there were so many international cuisine options, and something to satisfy everybody. The staff and servers were extremely friendly and helpful. The New York steak was notably delicious! We are locals and will return again soon. This time we brought along a group of young children and everybody was satisfied and well accommodated. read more

So the choices are amazing! Eggs were super watery, gravy lacked seasoning and flavor. Tri tip was so dry. Service was also horrible! We seen our waiter once. The desert options were sad, pie looked like it's been sitting a week. Plates piled up. Over all not worth the price at all! The harsh was amazing, the ham was also super good! Would I go back? Probably not. But I do want to try on a holiday and see if the options and food are better. read more

This buffet is pretty good. A friend of mine invited me to join her for brunch. So I did and we smashed away. It's definitely a very nice buffet. There's all sorts of different things you can get, but I did the omelette station which was very good. Then I went into the lunch items. The brisket was really nice and tender. I can taste smoke as well, so it's definitely a plus whenever my taste buds become aroused like that. The service was very good too. Our drinks were refilled and our plates were cleared when it needed to be. I would totally eat here again if given the chance. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!! read more

I haven't been here since the pandemic but not much has changed -dessert bar is still good. Probably the best selection for a buffet in Reno. I wish they had more cake options tho -seafood, there wasn't any good snow crab but plenty of oysters and crab claws. The lobster enchilada was good! -pho here is always good. Their broth is yum but the bowl is too big. Ask for a small portion. -prime rib is a bit to cooked. I did like the New York steak and the pieces of meat they left in the au jour -service was great. There is a lot of variety here but I would prefer some new options. read more
