    Excellent buffet. I had made a reservation for my family & got right in on time. So much food - lots of choices. Something for everyone of all ages. Highly recommended. Parking was only $3 as well.

    We went to the restaurant a saturday night, when we made the reservation there were only two time slots (5:30pm and 7:00pm) but the place was like 80% empty. As soon as we walked into the restaurant we noticed the food bars were quiet dark which didn't make us very comfortable, food was not good at all, the roast beef dripping blood, the pork in some oriental sauce tasted spoiled, the muscles and clams were in some kind of horseradish mustard cold sauce, cold tasteless shrimp and never saw the crab legs( pictures in the website) which it was the main reason why we wanted to go there. In the end, the food was not good and made us all very sick, I had like an abnormal heart rhythm for a couple of hours after dinner. Our dinner reservation was at 7:00pm but we needed to wait for a while for our friends to start dinner but by 8:30pm they were asking us to pay the bill, I couldn't believe it, we were just having a coffee and they came to tell us to pay the bill. I took a look of the bill, on the website says $17.00-$39.00 per person but we paid $62.50 each with no alcohol involved, just soda and coffee. In my opinion, if you have a very good meal, with excellent quality and service is ok to pay $62.50 or more per person because we don't do this everyday but $62.50 per person for awful , poor quality food that made us all sick. I tell you we were so sick, disappointed and learned a lesson. We do not recommend this place at all...

    The River Rock Buffet is overpriced and doesn’t offer a range of cuisines and they did before. And they don’t offer the Encore discount anymore, instead they give you a voucher for free play WHICH you can on if you have never redeemed a voucher prior. They did not tell me this. As well, we had to go back and for the vouchers at the buffet bc Guest Services wouldn’t accept our receipts. $50 for a buffet you would expect an exceptional experience and food. We had about about 12 people in our group and no one enjoyed the overall experience. We could’ve eaten at the food court for a fraction of the price! Definitely not worth it! Do yourself a favour and just eat at a restaurant before or go to their food court - the food there is waayyyy better

    Omelette and egg station very slow, 1 staff member running 3 stations!! This reflects on the employer not the staff member! Needs to hire more staff.
