This buffet is located within Choctaw Casino & Resort which is easily accessible off I-69. There are signs at the buffet entrance with pricing information and another sign indicating a line for casino members (who can get a discount) and a line for regular guests.
I was honestly concerned about trying this place out and skeptical about the quality of food that would be served after reading some of the existing reviews. Unfortunately I feel similarly about what many have already said. They take payment at the entrance and then take you to your table. The server brings and refills your soft drinks/tea/coffee (which are included in the price of the meal), and you grab a new plate each time you want to take a trip up to the buffet area like usual. The restaurant was definitely not occupied by many guests at all and it was during peak lunch hours. The atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about, and in fact a little dark and dim, making it somewhat sad.
The buffet area is split into several different stations including salads and cold food items, soup, Asian, Italian, American, BBQ and meats, noodles, and dessert. Most of the areas were manned by an employee who would take your plate and fill it with whatever item you want. This is not a buffet where you help and serve yourself. While there is a decent variety of food offered, the quality of the items were very subpar, reminding me of buffet chains back in the day.
The BBQ meats were dry and tough to chew through. The fried fish was overdone and barely flaky. The soups were bland and watery. Grilled and steamed vegetable items were undercooked and not very flavorful. You get the idea. The most memorable items I fairly enjoyed on my plate were mashed potatoes with gravy and fried tofu strips. Oh, and I noticed there were a lot of tiny mosquitos flying around The, especially hovering over the salad area. The dessert bar appeared to have a few sugar-free items good for those who have to be cautious or prefer a zero sugar option, and the regular desserts were A-OK. Cake slices were plated individually, ice cream sundaes are made to order, and cookies are put out so you can take it yourself. The sundae was actually pretty good and I was able to top it off with a few of my favorite things.
The service was alright and our server kept our drinks filled and took dirty plates off the table in no time. The gratuity has already been paid with the meal upon entrance, so unless you want to tip more you can. All in all, it is not worth time or money unless you plan to stay at the casino to play for a long time and need something to keep your hunger pangs away, or if you're a member who has earned a free meal. read more
