The Buffet at River Rock Casino Resort offers a "relaxing setting" with a beautiful view of the Fraser River. While the food selection may not meet everyone's expectations, "excellent service" from staff members like Jean and Karim stands out. The dessert and salad bars receive positive mentions, making it a decent choice for family gatherings.

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.

Because the restaurant wasn’t that busy, we were there for about three hours. No one gave us any reminders, which was excellent.

Over priced for the food they can offer. Forced to pay 18% tips which is ridiculous.
