    Still one of our go to's whenever in Reno. We've recently visited again and we enjoyed our visit. Their pig was super moist and flavorful, and their prime rib was moist. We went for brunch. We enjoyed our visit.

    Emily & Julie A waiting in the line to go into Toucan Charlie's Surf & Turf Buffet. I'm excited about the crab legs & prime rib. Julie A

    Toucan Charlie's Buffet has surpassed my birthday dream. From the cashiers, to our server Gil and buser Aivatas, the food, crab, shrimp and prime rib are off the chart five Star fabulous. The beauty and ambiance is electric in this restaurant. The food, salad bar, prime rib and crab station, as well as the desserts are so perfectly displayed, what a fantastic place to bring family & friends for any celebration. Love the cotton candy and chocolate eclairs. Five Star.

    Mac N cheese......
    Valarie P.

    Went on a Sunday. Waited in line for 20ish minutes to get checked in then seated. Service is good and polite. Not fast, but good. I ran out of water twice. They had very little fresh fruit to choose from. They had cantaloupe, pineapple, oranges, and apples but the apples and oranges you had to peel and cut yourself. Stay away from the Mac N cheese. Looks great, but Kraft Mac N cheese has more flavor. Tried the steak, it had flavor but it was tough. All the seafood had flavor but was overcooked so it was dried out. The crawfish were the only seafood that was not over cooked. The dessert bar was ok. I had a brownie and 3 different Gelatos. Vanilla, coffee and chocolate. All of those were good. For the price, not worth it in my opinion unless you do purely seafood and expect quantity over quality.

    Great assortment and selection of good quality food. The prime rib is amazing!! Lots of great seafood choices especially the snow crab legs. It's a customer favorite. The servers are friendly and helpful. The wait to get in is long. Just be prepared to wait about 30 minutes or more before you are seated.

    Pho station

    We stopped by for Sunday dinner. It was busy but we were seated within 5 mins. We got lucky and scored one free adult meal since someone had a free voucher that was given to the next customer, which happened to be us! I was blown away and slightly overwhelmed by how big this buffet was. There were so many options and different cuisines to choose from! We tried a bit from each station and the food was decent but one complaint I would have is that everything was really salty. One place that stood out to me was the pho station. I had no expectations and didn't think it would be as authentic as Vietnamese restaurants. However, it was pretty legit in my opinion! It had a good flavored beef broth. The rice noodles were cooked perfectly, al dente and not soggy. It's basically a DIY pho bar. The sever working the station was pretty rude though. I was a bit confused on how to place the order and instead of helping me, she gave me an attitude. The staff comes by regularly to take away any empty/dirty plates. I highly recommend checking this place out. Definitely come hungry!

    Deserts are good

    Came here for the seafood buffet, it's not offered daily and it's considerably more expensive and there isn't earning any free seafood buffet so you're getting taxed All Round. Time tax: Unless you are rolling with someone in a higher tier of the players club you are going to wait. Sad but true, Maybe I was at fault for arriving as late as I did around 7:20pm but I wasn't sat until closer to 8:30. The line was peculiar. So many people skipped ahead. There was only one person at the register. Occasionally the nice blonde manager lady would come over and ring a few parties up, the line went fast for a few seconds, but the chap at the register only worked fast when the manager came by. Otherwise he took his sweet time, he'd only rush if another VIP waiting to skip the line showed up. It was often, this buffet is popular and the skippers show up in force, especially late. Server Attention Tax: the servers on a normal day work hard, they close at 9:00, they warn you when 9 approaches and it's a wrap, on the seafood buffet days they are not motivated, because they stay late. They act like they aren't getting paid for the extra time. I sat down around 8:25 and no one took my drink order till like 8:40. I was worried I would get a single plate but to my surprise they didn't shut down shop right at 9:00 in fact they were still seating people. So that was cool. But the servers are in no rush. I don't want to get all Mr. Rogers about it, but if you get me my beverages sooner, I'll get out of your hair sooner, you are literally prolonging your own suffering here. The seafood Tax Rebate: the seafood is good, fresh fish, crab legs and all the regular sides. Crab is offered seasoned crab boil style or plain steamed, make sure to wander around. Overall: I love to eat good, I'm not crazy about flights, hotels or hardware stores because I don't think value necessarily is affected by where you go. (There are a few exceptions) I think service flavors cuisine, Here the service isn't adding a respectively great flavor. Sure if you spend a lot of money here you should get some priority but even Vegas doesn't forget about the little guy. I felt sorry for the people with kids in the line. Even though my server was slower than forest growth I still tipped them. But like value lost the taste was unpleasant. If you don't like being exposed to prejudice I assure you the 'regular line' WILL make you feel like you have no civil rights. But if you're able to suffer all that for a few rounds of delicious crab then you should go right on ahead, don't let me stop you

    Just visited Toucan Charlie's Buffett at the Atlantis casino Reno. The hotel has easy parking out front and the hotel itself is quite nice! We paid $37 for weekday brunch and enjoyed all the stations especially the shrimp Alfredo and coconut gelato. Our server was kind and attentive as well. The restaurant overall is clean, modern and spacious. 4/5 because some meats were a bit dry

    oysters- hit or miss
    Joanne C.

    Ambiance: busy and casual Service: attentive I went on a Saturday around 6pm and waited roughly 45 mins and it was about $70pp after tip and tax Food: Oysters: hit or miss, but mostly a miss the day I went. bad after taste Snow crab legs: super fresh and slightly sweet. a bit over cooked tho. Prime rib- pretty good for buffet standards Mini crunchy tacos- solid and love the toppings they have Pho- if you're craving a bowl of soup noodles, it'll be satisfying I was too full to try anything else, but they had a salad bar, bagels, lox, charcuterie, chinese food, cooked seafood, pasta, pizza, and dessert. I would come back to this buffet everytime I'm in the area~

    Friday's Dinner... seafood.
    Susan L.

    The buffet is good at Atlantis. They have plenty of food selections to offer. They have a Mongolian station where you can prepare your veggies, sauces and meats for the chef to cook in front of you. The Pho station is good too... although the broth is a bit salty. Their beef balls are flavorful. One of my favorite desserts is the freshly made COTTON CANDY! YUM!

    Whipped mashed potatoes with gravy, deep fried shrimp, lemon chicken, vegetable spring roll, chilaquiles, pepperoni pizza
    Amethyst C.

    There was a wide variety of food, mostly fried though. Chilaquiles was something new though. I was surprised to see such a large variety of sugar free desserts. That also seemed newer. You could definitely taste it was sugar free and the lemon pie didn't really taste like lemon. Coffee gelato is always good. Our waitress struggled with our drinks. She was getting extra drinks than what we ordered, and it took me multiple times just to ask for a water. They did help us put tables together but some people in our group didn't have enough space so they had to sit behind us. It was okay for being so expensive. If it wasn't for the price I'd love to come more.

    Friendly staff and wide variety of food. The food cooks fresh was better quality and tasted good like the Mongolia grill and prime rib. But the other prepared foods were very hit or miss with quality, taste and temperature- the biggest quality issue being the meat/cheese table having old, crusting cheese and visibly molded cheese sitting out. The dessert area was the biggest hit, with gelato and cotton candy for the kids.

    Pho from the pho station

    Background On Visit: Knowing that we were going to be flying into Reno International Airport, I made it a point that we needed to go to a buffet. Looked on their yelp page and thought to myself that this place would be the place to binge eat/drink. We went for the steak & seafood dinner gourmet buffet on Saturday. Toucan Charlie's Offerings: Voted the Best Gourmet Buffet in Reno, Toucan Charlie's Gourmet Buffet & Grille offers a vast array of mouth-watering dishes that cater to every craving. With six live-action stations, including Sauté & Grille, Carvery, Charcuterie, Far East, Pho, Sea Fare, Southwest and Specialty Made-to-Order Salads, and Dessert Island, complete with nine flavors of house-made gelato and cotton candy. From savory to sweet desserts the Toucan Charlie's Gourmet Buffet & Grille will leave you full and satisfied. Price Point: Reasonable. Just remember that during holiday season, you'll be charged higher ($65.99) than regular price ($58.99). You can see their prices on their website: https://atlantiscasino.com/dining/casual-dining/tcb . Restrooms: No restrooms in the restaurant. You'll have to use the restroom in the casino. Closest restroom would be going up stairs. Wait Time: Wait time can be long depending when you join the waiting queue. Our wait was little over an hour. If you more than one person in your group, take turns and walk around casino. This will make your wait look a little shorter. Location/Parking: Located inside the Atlantis Casino. Parking can be easily found Ambiance/Decor: Pretty cool ambiance with modern furnishings. Service: Service was good. The main staffer that was assigned to our table kept on refilling my diet coke. Every time I left and came back, there was another diet coke waiting for me. I probably had 6 or 7 refills that night. She was great. At times, there were other staffers that were waiting for you to finish so they can take your plate away. Felt a little weirded out, but it was effective. Buffet Items Of Choice: 1) Crab Legs: Definitely eat many crab legs. Very fresh and go for the ones that are pre- cracked so they're easy to eat. The staffer will also provide you a crab leg cracker and a tin to put your shells in. 2) Pho Station: Pho broth was actually good. Had some worries prior to trying, but all the worries were gone after taking many sips of the broth. Selection of protein and noodles was decent. First time seeing a pho station at buffet. That's genius! 3) Prime Rib: It was okay. Some parts of the prime rib was overcooked and over seasoned. 4) Salmon: Salmon was good. I probably think I had about 3 or 4 pieces 5) Salad: Good, but probably ask them to put the dressing on the side. 6) Broiled Steaks was tasty. 7) Dessert Bar was okay. I didn't feel guilty eating a oreo cheesecake slice. :) Toucan Charlie Buffet and Grille For Thought: With a decent amount of choices to eat, you might feel a little overwhelmed. Your eyes might be bigger than your stomach.So keep cool, take deep breathes, and have a grand ol' time stuffing your face.

    Action shot! They keep it clean here!
    Joyce W.

    For Reno, this still seems to be the best buffet as far as quality, variety and value. Really friendly chefs that prepare your serving dishes like prime rib, Mongolian BBQ, Pho, custom salads and more. Servers are always friendly. I adore the cutely dressed dessert server outfits at the dessert station. I noticed while enjoying both the lunch and dinner buffet, they have more bus workers keeping the dishes from piling up. I appreciate this improvement. I have to mention that they usually have an Indian curry dish or specialty item that is a tasty and nice palate surprise. I think there is something for everyone.

    Toucan Charlie's Buffet & Grille Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Toucan Charlie's Buffet & Grille

    Is there any seafood Monday -Thursday?

    They have a seafood section all the way to the left. And they have shrimp in the salad section. But it's not like the crab and oysters on the weekend.

    How much is lunch on Mondays for seniors with players card?

    $35.00

    What prices the lunch on Friday?

    $35.99 and could cost a little less depending on if you have an Atlantis Rewards Card and what tier you are on. Also, 55 plus gets $2.00 discount w/ rewards card.

    Do they serve a seafood on Sunday or Monday?

    We usually go on Mondays. They have seafood then.

    Is it pet friendly?

    No...only service dogs are permitted.

    Do they have prime rib for lunch on Monday?

    Yes

    How far in advance can you make reservations? I'll be up there in March and the online system doesn't indicate availability.

    They don't take reservations at the buffet.

    Is there a Senior discount still?

    Yes for folks over 55 yo.

    Do we need to make a reservation?

    No. But, I think it's better to have a reservation and get in closer to the time you want. Then, to wait for a long time in line.

    Can someone confirm if Toucan Charlie's offers a free buffet for your birthday in 2024?

    Don't know.. but.. if your at the highest level on your players card u may have a comp meal

    How much is the weekday dinner buffet per person?

    look it up on Yelp

    Do they serve seafood for weekend brunch?

    Yes. It is also more expensive.

    I made a reservation at 830p for their Seafood dinner buffet which was the only option for dinner. I checked 3 months ahead if this was the case, the only option it offers, is 8p, 815p, and 830p. What gives? Do they not offer 5p, 6p, 7p?

    This is the best buffet around, as well as the most popular. They do offer reservations at all times, it's just that specific times on specific days are booked more often than others due to the "type" of food offered. Those times are reserved FAR in… 

    Is there Crabs and other seafood on Weekdays dinner hour?

    There is a lot of seafood but it changes day-to-day. Crab is not always available due to the price these days. but if you really want the seafood feast I suggest you try Friday night. it's pricey but they have every kind of seafood you could imagine.

    Does Toucan Charlie's buffet serving crab in weekend brunch?

    Yes they do

    Is crab a part of the lunch menu on Fridays?

    No, not till dinner when the price goes up.

    Do they have a sushi/sashimi section in the buffet?

    No...no sushi or sashimi that I've ever seen there no matter what day or time of day I've ever been...

    What are your weekday lunch offerings? Is there seafood on the lunch buffet?

    If they don't have it, you don't need it. It is the largest buffet in Reno

    What champagne is served for Sat/Sun champagne brunch at Atlantis Toucan Charlie's?

    It is the same for years. Starts with W. It is a dry one. Unique to this place.

    Does seafood night comes with meat choices or just seafood? And does it come with all the desserts and everything just like if it was a Saturday night?

    Yes it al meat choices

I for one love my dining cuisine like I love my romances, plentiful and leaving me desiring nothing but to drift off into deep blissful slumber. Well here at the J casino I can assure you that even though this buffet doesn't look like much at first glance it packs a powerful wallop. There is no skipping the line, even if you are a higher tiered member. I actually like that because I find it to be fair. Just the way the good lord intended we eat at places of convenience. Luckily the line wasn't too long and the person behind the register was swift. Next our server was great! Her name was Janet and she also works as a nurse practitioner for elderly people, and you would think that would make her slower or perhaps a little too exhausted to keep at it, but to our surprise she was beyond helpful and the service was excellent. The buffet has crab legs, mini pizzas, salads, pastas, and desserts there's plenty of variety and lots of friendly faces to assist you if you should need anything. The overall environment seems eager to help. Very much recommended this place, it's one of my new staples in my diet.

    The Grand Buffet is probably the baseline buffet in Reno. The offerings can be hit or miss, but…read morenothing is really bad or really great. It is nice that the buffet participates in the GSR locals discount program which makes it priced a little more reasonably for what you get, but it is still hard to get full value. The selection is decent, the carving station gives generous portions if requested, the pizza is good for a buffet, the fries are crispy and have flavor, and the sweets, pies, and gelato are actually better than average. The American booth such as pot roast and mashed potatoes with gravy is a little subpar and taste a little cheap. I think the best food there are the Asian dishes and the fried rice, overall. The negatives are that everything isn't the freshest or the best quality, some things are more or less. The food tastes sometimes stale or of lower quality. A bad example is that when I approached the dinner rolls, there were a couple of small gnat flies on a couple pieces of bread, when I shook the basket to shoo them away about a cloud of 25 gnats flew off and then promptly rested back on the bread... So don't eat the bread, lol. I have to admit, there are much better places and buffets in Reno and I would only go here if I am taking a Staycation at the GSR or if a family gathering requested it, but there are worse places and you dictate your own experience.

The overall quality varies but they do usually have snow crab legs at dinner regularly, which is the main reason we would choose this buffet. (Atlantis only does crab on the higher priced weekends). They recently did a special Crab event at $80pp and there was no line at all, probably just too expensive in this economy. They had cold Jonah claws, snow and Dungeness clusters, mini crab cakes, and crab soup. They also advertised King crab but what they had was just the skinny tips which you were given a ticket for one plate. Not worth the price paid, but the cold crab was good quality. I would say thier higher priced special nights just aren't worth it, but the regular weekday with locals discount is decent. Tip: if you prefer warmed crab they will steam it for you or you can have the mongolian grill warm it up with or without asian sauces.

    Great place to eat seafood in an upscale atmosphere with incredible 8K Ultra High Resolution Videos…read moreon giant screens showing amazing places around the world. Prices are high as expected in this type of setting. But if you have deep pockets and a seafood craving it should fit the bill. Most if my experience is eating the AYCE sushi here. Yes it's about $12 more per person that if you want to AYCE outside the hotel, but the local's 20% discount evens it up. Selection is more limited than most AYCE menu's. Probably the most limited in Reno based on my experience. They don't have things like scallop, unagi, surf clam nigiri. Mussels only available as nigiri sushi not as an appetizer. Etc. Roll menu is decent, you will find something you like if you are into rolls. They are HUGE, so recommend ordering a half long roll when possible. They also have a selection of hand rolls. We got the Salmon Skin Hand Roll which was pretty mediocre as the salmon skin was overcooked, very dry and crunchy like it was a bit burnt. Fish quality it typically on par with the average AYCE place in Reno but overall a half step down from one of the most popular AYCE places just a few blocks North (Tokyo sushi) which is a madhouse during prime hours with long waits so if you can get seated quickly here the convenience of it being in the hotel may be the better choice especially if you want a nicer, special ocassion atmostphere. Service at the bar was not very good this time around. Waited 20 min for them to come get our card to pay. But generally at the bar, because you can order directly from the chef, the server doesn't have to come very often except to get dessert order or drink order. If they had a wider selection on the AYCE sushi menu and some of the texture of the fish (Salmon) was more firm and less mushy, it could be a 5-star experience.

    The Peppermill is our favorite place to stay in Reno and on our last trip we decided to try Oceano…read moreafter eating at some of the other restaurants there. Boy, are we glad we did! The ambiance is beautiful. The huge video screens featuring breathtaking scenes from around the world make you feel immersed in each destination and create such a relaxing atmosphere. The service was outstanding. My husband ordered the all-you-can-eat sushi and absolutely loved it. I had the Caesar salad with Dungeness crab and it was incredible. The crab was fresh, delicious and they were very generous with it. We are heading back to the Peppermill next month and Oceano is definitely at the top of our list. Highly recommend!

    So been wanting to try this place for a while. Was greeted…read moreimmediately as we walked in. We were a group of 4 and we were sat right away. The place was clean and no cleaning smell of any sorts as stated in some recent reviews. Also water was tasted fine too. Grills were very clean Rueben was our Server and he was excellent. We ordered All the meats . Spicy pork , Bulgogi , Hawaiian steak, Maple seasoned pork, Kobe beef , pot stickers , short ribs , spring rolls . Everything we had was great . Sides were good too. Had Rice and Rice paper too. Service was excellent they were on top of changing our grill when needed . Price is a little higher than a spot I usually go to, $42.95@ person for dinner . But over all I was satisfied with the food and the service. It was also my son's friend first time having ayce Korean bbq and he really enjoyed. I would come back , Family Enjoyed . Enjoy !!!!

    Adding review for the cold noodles. Should be called room temp noodles instead of cold. Not cold at…read moreall, more like not hot. Lacked ice and they dont have hot mustard other korea bbq places serve this kind of dish. Thought it would be another go to place for my korean cold noodle place but failed to make it. The dish also has slices of apple vs what is normally sold with shredded meat. Previous reviews still hold that the prices are really high for cheap meats. The ayce setup still gives you a lot on each dish and you risk over ordering and get the dreaded wasted food surcharge. Until they set their prices to a steal I would visit this place cautiously or it will drain your weekly dining budget quickly. Staff still is friendly like always and the place is always good to bring a big group but I wish they would make it "local" friendly on the pocket. If they perhaps gave smaller dishes each time you order beef you could order more variety but it limits you because one plate of beef is good to feed some people a full meal. That then defeats the purpose of ayce. A la carte items is also priced so high you cant get more than one dish for each person to get variety. To sum it up, they've rigged it to have each person spend at least 40 to 50 dollars to have a reasonably enjoyable experience here trying their many good items.

    First if all the waiter we had was FANTASTIC, he was not overbearing and showed up at the most…read moreappropriate times, he just kept tabs on us psychically, amazing. I was told by my friend the special was the way to go, she wasn't wrong. The special had a filet which I asked for medium rare and it came as ordered, the veggie was green beans with a little red bell, I devoured the vegetables first because I always eat the best first. The filet which I never order was very good, I guess since I'm not a frequent orderer of dead cow, the mash was good and so was the shrimp which was accompanied with a very nice sauce. This was a very nice restaurant which I never would have imagined at boomtown. The prices were not too terrible and the food was great but the waiter was terrific.

    I visited Boomtown Steakhouse in Verdi, NV [2100 Boomtown Garson Rd] on Sunday, 05/10/26, around…read more4:30 PM. I came here during the holiday, Mother's Day, which had an influx of guests at the restaurant. The server throughout my dining experience was Tori. She was recently hired as a new server and wasn't too knowledgeable about the menu as of yet. With that being said, I desired to show patience and grace since she was still in the training stage. I proceeded to order the following items for dinner: * Oysters on the Half Shell (6) * Lobster Bisque Bowl * $29 Special - Filet Mignon & Jumbo Shrimp with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes The entire occurrence presented as quite interesting, to say the least. I first received the oysters. It had arrived with an empty serving vessel, which was supposed to be filled with the mignonette sauce. Tori quickly fixed this mistake. The oysters met expectations in terms of freshness and quality. They were very delicious with the mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon juice. Then, I received the Lobster Tomato Bisque. The soup was lacking in flavor and needed help in the seasoning department. I grabbed the peppercorn grinder, which was readily available at the table. Upon twisting the grinder, a lot of peppercorns fell into the soup unfortunately. I kindly requested that Tori replace the soup. A nearby table had the same situation, where an individual had a bunch of pink salt spill over the baked potato dish. Tori was also their server. I noticed that Tori pointed at me and mentioned to the party that I did the same action. When making that observation, I was quite embarrassed. I understood that Tori was trying to make the other table feel better but the finger-pointing provided a slightly unpleasant feeling to me. I finally received the Filet Mignon & Jumbo Shrimp with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes as the entree. However, it took a total of 1.5 hours to arrive at the table. It was quite long and a little frustrating, especially since I've noticed that a couple of parties that seated after me ordered the same meal deal and their food arrived before mine. The steak and shrimp were delectable. The green beans were bland (used butter, pepper + salt) and the mashed potatoes were decent in flavor. All in all, the evening at Boomtown Steakhouse was underwhelming. From the food taking a while to come out, sitting down at a wobbly table, the soup tasting bland, and the overall hospitality from Tori, the experience left some room to be desired. At the end, I truly appreciated the complimentary chocolate mousse dessert. This offering made up slightly for everything that had transpired. I don't recommend visiting this restaurant on a holiday, including Mother's Day. When I decide to return here, it will be on a regular weekday.

All of the cars are so beautiful. I added a couple of photos in my post of my favorites this year. For over 20+ years Brian has been coming to the Atlantis car show with his Corn Dog Stand! It's is the very best corn dog I have ever had! He has a family secret recipe that makes his corn dogs so amazing! I usually have at least three during the week!!! If you're at the HAN Atlantis car show be sure to stop by and try one, believe me you will thank me later! This year the summit racing move their booth over to the Atlantis, if you're looking for it. The Atlantis has show & shines with great prizes money, cruising, bands and entertainment always great! Fun things for the kiddo's and craft booth's galore. If you're in the area the first week of August stop by and check it out!

My cousins picked this location because they are members of a group who used this chain of hotels and casinos often. I personally am not attracted to gambling , so I don't frequent this type of hotel. As I said the rooms were nice, but this hotel caters to the gambling crowd. My cousins got their rooms on comp, because they gamble here so often and that is great, but if you are not a heavy gambler and you are not getting a free room I cannot recommend the Atlantis.
