    Ribs
    Carla C.

    Google Maps did a great job of getting me here considering its a little tricky to find the right road to the front door. Located just west of Edmonton it was fairly easy to get to. It has a huge parking lot but it is a fair walk to the main doors - not as appealing in the winter or icy weather. But it was wheelchair accessible. The restaurant was easy to find and we were seated quickly after proof of vaccination was given. The restaurant is quite large and feels classy and romantic. There were very few other customers so we had lots of room and the staff were very attentive. The waitress was very friendly and took our drink orders moments after we were seated. We knew we wanted the special - all you can eat ribs, but the menu had some great options as well. My nephew's chicken fingers came smoking hot and a full 7minutes before our entrees which was great because he was Hungry. Water glasses were topped off regularly and the waitress came by regularly to see if we wanted more orders. The ribs themselves were very tender but the BBQ sauce was quite spicy and definitely limited how many ribs I could eat. Sadly there was only 1 type of flavor available. The kettle chips and coleslaw were great sides and the ?mustardayo sauce for the chips was interesting. 2nds and 3rds came with extra coleslaw and kettle chips which was a pleasant surprise. The kettle chips were not fresh but instead the order came exceptionally fast. My nephew's chicken finger and fries were fresh and delicious as well. Overall service was great, food was good and I will be back!

    This was the best looking dessert and didn't taste that great

    Two for one coupon for Player's card member brings hordes of people. Be prepared to line up just to get a table if you come on Monday or Wednesday. You line up to get in and line up for mediocre food. No line up for the salad bar though so that was ok. But the hot, meaty food will have you waiting. I ate a bit of salad, shrimp, pasta, perogies, and lamb. And it was ok, not bad but not good either. The dessert area was pretty sad. Empty plates with nothing on them. Busy night and not able to keep up. I managed to scrounge up a piece of cake that looked good but taste was ok. Come on a Monday or Wednesday with coupon and lots of time or keep walking to Sage inside the casino for 50% meal that will taste better (unless you have kids, then there's Soda Jerks or Costco across the street). Definitely wouldn't recommend paying full price on any other day.

    Decent selection at the buffet at the River Cree Resort and Casino, especially if you have their two for one coupon. We went for the lunch buffet, and they have an omelette station, along with roast beef, salads, samosas, spring rolls, as well as poutine, pizza, and nachos. They also have several flavours of soft serve ice cream, cranberry juice, pop, coffee, teas, and desserts. Great lunch that will please most people.

    Cattle call. Mooooo

    Looking for a quiet, low key place to enjoy a delicious dinner? Then don't come here. The atmosphere at Kitchen Buffet & Bistro is loud and hectic and the food has all the charm of a wet sponge soaked in formaldehyde. The meat is pink and chewy like bubble gum, the pasta is like soft plastic covered in ketchup, and the potatoes taste like a weird combo of milk and baking soda. I'm not a food snob but this place makes me feel like one. They don't have any decent desserts either. No ice cream machine or even any cookies. All they have are dry, crusty squares cut into small pieces like you'd find at a church bake sale. At least the church would sell them homemade. The desserts here look as if they were cut from one of those giant slab thingies like you buy at Costco. I don't get why so many people come here. There's usually a long line of customers in the hallway outside desperate to get in. You'd think it was a methadone clinic or a brothel. It must be the cheap food. Did I mention it was 2-for-1 night? A few people even had Tupperware containers with them so they could squirrel some food away to take home. After standing in line to get inside there's another line-up in the buffet area to get fed. The buffet isn't set up in a central area for convenience like at Buffet Royale. Nope. Kitchen Buffet & Bistro is designed like a high school cafeteria where you have to stand in a congested line along the inner perimeter of the room. This way you get the added joy of having the person behind you grind their crotch against your ass as they reach over your shoulder to scoop up some dry penne that they're about to be standing beside in 30 seconds anyway. It's like a bunch of animals fighting over which one gets to stick their snout in the trough first. Buffets really bring out the class in people. If you like noise and cheap, hastily cooked processed food you'll like it here. If you enjoy people running laps around your table as they make their way back to the buffet assembly line to get their 8th plate of Wal-Mart shrimp you have to come here. Or if you just want to watch the evolution of humankind regress about a 100,000 years or so, you'll have a good time.

    Deserts always lots

    I only go on prime rib nights. Amazing food and service. Miss the buffet because of covid. Can't wait for it to be like it used to be.

    Expectation were higher. Server extremely unfriendly. Selection quite limited. Not overly impressed at all.

    Leduc Coffee Shop - The almost famous orange roll. $3.50 in 2024.

    I'm always up for a little journey out of town in the name of food and that's precisely what my…read morerecent visit to the city of Leduc was all about. Fifteen minutes (or so) south of the city makes Leduc feel more like a suburb and very much a part of the greater Edmonton area. It didn't take me much convincing to jump in the car when I heard that a little cafe was home to the Best Dessert 2024 as named by EDify Magazine. What delicious secrets were being kept in Leduc and how could I taste them?? Step one is to drive yourself to Leduc, which I did on a Saturday morning. While nearby, I haven't spent a whole lot of time in Leduc and found myself pleasantly surprised when the navigation took me to a quaint and cute small-town-style main street area. I really don't think that I'd ever been there before. Sweet little independent shops lined both sides of the street, lending to an idyllic pedestrian experience. Shopping areas like these always feel good to stroll through. Leduc Coffee Shop is located within two other stores; Magpies Collection and Playing For Keeps Toys. So don't get confused when you enter into a retail space; home decor and gifts on the left and children's toys on the right. Head to the back of the store and keep going until you find yourself surrounded by bistro tables and can smell the coffee. The space is cozy and cafe-like with chocolate-coloured walls and pieces of local art as decoration. I noted that each table was adorned with a vase of fresh flowers - a lovely touch. I also noticed a very adorable China cabinet filled with antique cups and saucers. The idea is that you can choose your own teacup to use, select your tea of choice, and then sit down to enjoy! What a beautiful idea that only adds to the experience! I was surprised by how large the menu is - the whole thing is posted right on the wall and it's huge both in physical size and in terms of content. In the end, the offerings include; drinks, eats, and sweets n treats. If you're looking for visual guidance most of the food items are on display in the glass case, which is helpful. I knew that I wanted to order a coffee-based beverage - it is a coffee shop after all - and I was delighted to find a special "Winter Drinks" menu. I am someone who loves a seasonal beverage, to the point of ordering off of these types of menus almost exclusively. I just like trying new things and enjoying flavours that compliment the season. This menu included six different choices, each sounding perfectly appropriate for the winter. The Gingerbread Spiced Mocha (Espresso, white chocolate, topped with whip cream & cinnamon) stood out to me, which I ordered in the small size. The girl at the counter was pleasant and got to work on preparing our drinks and eats. The drink looked like everything that I wanted it to be (AKA more like dessert than coffee) but unfortunately the flavour didn't really hit the mark for me. It mostly just tasted like a mediocre, watered down cup of coffee and didn't deliver on all of the gingerbread and spice and mocha that was promised. It just seemed like this coffee was supposed to have a lot of exciting stuff going on and I felt disappointed as I sipped it. The food menu includes a whole array of sandwiches that look really appetizing - many on croissants or bagels. And each sandwich is served with a side of corn chips which is something that I can totally get behind! I would recommend taking a look in the case and choosing whatever appears the most delicious on that particular day. However, I was visiting for one item and one item only: the Orange Bun ($3.50). This is the current best dessert in the Edmonton area and I couldn't wait to try it. These golden twirly rounds are baked in-house from scratch using real butter. The orange buns are served warm and seem to be a member of the cinnamon roll family. I know that this isn't a popular opinion but I'm not much of a cinnamon roll fan (unless we're talking about the ones at Sugarbowl, in which case I love them). This, however, is not a cinnamon roll. The homemade dough is hand-stretched every morning and the freshness is evident in every bite. There's a gooey mix of orange zest and coconut within every warm layer, bringing a sweet and unique flavour all its own. I loved this comforting bun, like something that a grandma would make. The flavour of the dough itself was almost the best part because it wasn't too sweet and it held the orange and coconut together so well. An absolute delight! I totally understand why this orange bun is on the foodie radar. It's wonderful that a little cafe like this, off the beaten path, is getting some notice. The food is the highlight at Leduc Coffee Shop but it would be nice if the coffee beverages were up to the same level. Delivering every bit the cozy cafe experience, this is the type of space that you'll be happy to spend some time in.

    I came here because their orange rolls were featured in Edify Magazine. I ordered them for each of…read moremy guests. They loved the orange rolls. The rolls are like cinnamon buns but with orange instead of cinnamon. For lunch two of us ordered the Chicken Chipotle Melt. They were $9.99 each which is very reasonable. They were good, but not special. We noticed a steady stream of people coming in and ordering and looking for a table so this could be the most popular coffee house in Leduc. Coffee is self serve and includes refills. The cafe is located in the back of another business which I think is a gift shop. There's usually lots of steet parking available and, of course, being Leduc the parking is free.
