So I’m not much of a gambler- But I’m thinking about becoming one here so I can go to this buffet more often. Anyone who says anything negative about this buffet Has unresolved issues- And I would recommend a heavy dose of gratefulness- The service is amazingly fast, considering that there constantly serving 20 people at a time- The food is almost too good- What I mean by that is.. Most places have something they do well- If it’s a great place, maybe there’s a handful of things but the truth is is that everything here is incredible- I’m sure you could find a few exceptions- But why?
Is it expensive if you don’t have points? Yes,
Is there a long wait? Of course, anything good has a long wait – But it isn’t too bad & you pay for what you get right here but you’re amazing-
This is such a blessing to eat here. The food is incredible. Shoot, even the coffee was good!
I think you should gamble your life savings away so you can get a black card- And a whole bunch of these free buffets!

I read the reviews and the one that really made my head spin, was the “individual” (I’m trying to be nice here) who was opposed to servers bringing you your food. She preferred that the public be allowed to touch the serving spoons and God knows what else, with their germy little hands. Where was she raised? In a jungle? I’m sorry, but anyone who pays attention in public bathrooms, not everyone washes their hands, and only 1/2 of those who do, do so for longer than five seconds. For the love of God and baby koalas, please let the servers serve us! They are quick, efficient, have an eye for detail, and prevent idiots from spilling food everywhere walking around with overflowing plates. If you’re hungry after four courses, you can have them bring you more food. It’s called a BUFFET for a reason. All you can eat. Duh, “individual.” Is her name Karen?
I’ve been there a couple of times now. The prime rib is delicious and their mashed potatoes are better than Grandma’s, but don’t tell Granny that! I really enjoyed the grilled asparagus and cauliflower. The salad is on hit, and mom loved her clam chowder. They have something for everyone. Italian to Mexican to seafood and southern fried chicken. Take your pick over and over again without the public’s grubby little fingers on the serving spoons and tongs. Enjoy your meal without catching someone else’s germs.
Dessert is all over the place in options from various pies, cookies, ice cream. I had cheesecake the first day and second visit I enjoyed apple pie and a bowl of fresh berries. Mom had their lemon meringue tart. Next time I’ll go for the ice cream. Maybe their white chocolate bread pudding? You can never go wrong with ice cream. Or chocolate mousse. Or bread pudding. Hmmm. Maybe all of it? It is a buffet after all. They got five stars because eight wasn’t an option.
A note about the guy who wrote about the men’s room: Uh, yeah it’s a men’s room where men fail to aim. What’s new? You’ll see that everywhere. The women’s room is so clean, you could eat off the sink. Not that you would, but it really comes down to gender and upbringing. Sorry about your luck. Not everyone can be born female to grow up and be a lady. Hahaha.

Limited to 3 dishes for appetitizers, main dish, and desserts.
Super long wait time expected for a busy casino.

Good place for decent dining buffet style with main focus on lobster tail and primerib.. Waiters bring the foods to you and only 3-4 items can be ordered at a time. $7 tip per person.

So we came to the buffet at Valley for the 1st time on a Wednesday night. It was a good two hour wait but so worth it. I like to travel and love buffets, so I’ve been to many in Vegas and all around. And this one just jumped into 1st place as my favorite. The system they got here is very effective where you have a server that brings you whatever you want. They are fast & very friendly. The food is all delicious and cooked perfectly. The lobster is the specialty, I recommend the spicy and the garlic butter. The dessert menu is also huge. The portions are just perfect. Definitely will be returning!!

We had no wait time on a weekday. Our food arrived quite timely. I’m glad everyone in our party had a great meal. I enjoyed my burger. My party also had steak and an order of bone-in wings. For dessert they also had a chocolate Sunday appropriate for 2 servings. Overall everything was good.

Valley View Casino & Resort has the best Buffet of all the casinos in Southern California, for twenty years been enjoy the delicious foods they have to offer. There are so many delicious dishes to choose from all-you can eat lobster, crab legs, prime rib, barbecue ribs, fried chicken…so many items to choose there’s also Asian, Mexican, American dishes and enormous selection of desserts. When you visit..you will experience the best service from the world class host/servers bringing all the delicious food you order and will be well taken care of and with that special service you will definitely feel like a winner. There is some waiting times depending of the day and time you visit The Buffet. Before the pandemic you able to serve yourself getting your food but now the fantastic servers take your order and bring whatever you order to you at your table. Also the buffet updated their entry procedures that you have to be a club member blue card holder and above with the advantages of receiving two free buffets a month. Though it’s still all you can eat buffet,great food, great service and great people. The Buffet is very clean, and very nice atmosphere. I would highly recommend you eat at this buffet it’s well worth thee experience,

Been here many times for the lobster buffet. Whenever I dined here the line is not too long.
I remember not wanting to eat the lobster as I preferred crab legs instead. The lobster tails do look a bit small and I remember once when i did not like the taste.
The crab legs on the other hand is cut open for you and more desirable for me. The selection of food is good but nothing great. Also, not too many choices on the hand carved meats. When i was there last, They were serving Prime Rib and sausage. Possibly it’s the timing and they were getting more meat.
Now, our server, meh, I’ve had much better. He barely came around and our plates were stacking up. When I asked for something from him he had a funny stare.
If you’re in the area give them a try. For me, I’d go elsewhere.

2025 Thanks Giving dinner Turkey was very bland to our family unfortunately. When I got my turkey I thought it was pulled pork for second. I don’t know if its because we didn’t arrive early enough to get the good cuts? It was around 730pm.
Also service brought us our entree and some of the food were missing making us wait about 15 min more to get the correct ones.
