REVIEWS OF Mystic Lake - The Buffet IN Minnesota

Casey Anderson

I would much rather have the higher price seafood night as the only reason I used to go was for the crab legs! Last time we went there was a definite absence of people and I can only assume the lack of crab legs on seafood night is disappointing to many.

Richard Anderson

Quality has gone down in recent years and, for $28 per person, I'd expect to be more satisfied after eating. Also, i have dairy allergies and there are vei few dairy free options (and no labels for dairy items). Service is great and waitstaff are super friendly.

Renee Farmer

Typical buffet food nothing spectacular.

Queen Nikki

This place USE to be a great buffet. Its gone way down in food quality and selections. Its no different then the shut down Old Country Buffet! The Casino makes way to much for bad quality food! Get it together!

Adele Bush

Price increase, twice frozen peel and eat.

Haekyung Hwang

A decent place if you love oysters and steamed crab legs. Their other foods didn't impress me. Do get there as early as you can on Wednesdays. 2 hour wait is minimum.

Anton Margittay

Pretty good!

Janel Herald

There are always tons of choices at this buffet! And variety galore from soups, salads, fruits, Asian, seafood, American, and everything in between! Top it off with a visit to the dessert area and your set! There is no reason to leave this place hungry or dissatisfied. Have fun giving it it a try. You won't regret it. The service is quick with beverages to your table.

Brought my family here for mothers day by my wife's request. We've been coming here for years and have noticed a downward spiral of food quality and this visit is the last straw. All the food was bland, worst foods that I love that I couldn't even finish was a waffle and syrup and chocolate covered strawberries that my wife didn't want too. The syrup had this odd taste like the container it was in wasn't clean and just soaked up whatever flavor food was in in previously and the strawberries were warm and the chocolate tasted horrible. My kids who eat everything didn't even eat that much and finish anything they picked out. I even went to the chicken wild rice soup which has always been wonderful no matter what and it was even cold and tasted nothing like the tasty soup I had on many occasions before. From now on I will just go to country buffet and save some money because the food quality there will be the same or better, for $29/person I expected better quality. The only thing I enjoyed was everyone working was very friendly. I will never be back, even for seafood night which has also diminished in quality, I suppose management thinks they can get away with it because people still go there. Not sure why anymore but it can't last forever. ***Update*** Was asked to send comments to email, sent and haven't received any response. Not surprised

Awful even for a buffet, please try harder

I was there on Nov 1st 2018 with my friend to see an event and celebrate a milestone birthday. This was the worst food I have tried to eat For the money I spent I didnt find one thing that I could eat. The quality and flavor were NONE! The turkey was almost as hard as a rock The turkey gravy was good. The potatoes were nasty and the brown gravy was overly salty and was tasting like a packet of gravy mix. The veg carrotts and green beans were dry! The roast beef stroganoff Hamburger helper tasted better The pork chow mein no flavor looks good But no taste same with the rice. The prime rib so chewy stringy The wild rice soap lack flavor was thick and too much flour bland Throw in some cooking wine dah! The desserts were cheap end junk Only the flan was edible but still not quality. The one chicken wing was good. The salad was ok. The pop was so carbonated it will make you have acid reflux all week. It had a bite to it and no taste. They cheapen it to save more money. I WANT TO TASTE POP The Arnold palmer ice lemonade was so sour... omg... A dinners nightmare!!! Bring back the quality! So discussed The service was terrible overworked older lady felt sorry for her. We could not and did not enjoy our one chicken wing and salad as we just tasted a teaspoons of other food items as described above. Never to return Old country buffet is better only one left in Burnsville Co rd 42. Save money Spare you the hunger pains of not finding Any taste here.

Molly Cabrera

Tasty food and excellent service. The buffet selections were a variety of foods. The deserts were the best.

Jane Huggins

Affordable. Veriety of food, salad and desserts. Tooooooo smoky for me.

Erik Rubenis

always amazing! best crab in the state!!

Joey Diderrich

Depending on the date and time of your visit, you can have multiple experiences here. I believe during holidays, which serve all day without closing, the omelette bar closes at three. The omelette bar is thee best food at the entire buffet. The rest of the buffet is pretty consistent in offerings. The food quality is consistent, so you just have to jump around and find the foods that suit you. You should be able to find something for even the pickiest of eaters. Desserts are hit or miss. They rarely have their best desserts available. They mix it up a little too much. Beverage service is usually top tier through the first three or four plates. Then, it kinda of hits the fan.

Mel Hendrickson

Quick seating good choices fair prices.

Ben Otto

The food is not worth the 26 dollars. The other worst part is when it's not posted anywhere until you get in that it's 100 percent shrimp everywhere Friday. It's a real great buffet when your limited to 10 percent of the total food options. The deserts are fine but for anything else the food is beyond sub par. It's on a Golden Corral type level but worse. You'd also think with all the high level looking chefs back there they would be able to make simple things like fried rice and chicken correctly way over cooked and all bones. It's quite disappointing.

Dylan Wurster

Ate at the buffet tonight before Ringo Starr everything was good except the caramel crepe. Something was wrong with the caramel super bitter and disgusting, caused me to puke twice about 15 mins after eating.

Radio Recuerdos Gruperos

Just to to checkin into the waiting list takes over 1 hour after that may you have to wait another hour o more. to get the fast line you have to spend many day and spend lot o money to be a cain of VIP or somenting.

Scott Mizerny

They try to be a fancy buffet and fail at almost every turn. They put in food no one wants to eat and the food they do have in is usually dried out.

Nicholas Lufkins

Best buffet in state.. no doubt!!

Der Vang

Did the add on lobster tail Thursday buffet. Most disgusting lobster tail ever. So much sand in the tail and completely bad meat! The ammonia smell was so strong. Never again.

Jonathan Jarocki

Could use some more higher end options for the price. But what they have tastes good.

Rich Whitney

I used to really enjoy this buffet. Years ago they had robust prime rib roasts that were delicious. Recently they have converted to a small roast - maybe 6 inches and round. It probably saves them a bunch of money, but there is no longer rare peices to cut and serve. Additionally the quality and flavor of their other food choices has really gone down in recent years. Instead of this being a destination for high quality food I now feel more like I am eating at a cafeteria with fancier uniforms. I really think that it is time to rethink and redesign what is served and how it is prepared. I have told my family that I do not intend to return unless it is for seafood night - where I am only concerned with the crab legs and don't care about side dishes or meat. Hopefully they will see the light and rethink their quality and selection soon.

Kc D

Was there around 630 pm and the food looked like it was there all day. It had no taste. Very disappointing after a 3o min drive.

Latandria Pulphus-Jones

My mom was in town and I decided to treat her and my husband and three of my kids to the mystic lake buffet I had gone there many many years ago and I enjoyed my experience there my other kids came along as well to have the experience as well as my grandkids. From the moment we arrived my experience was horrible from the rude staff at the register who kept trying to convince me not to eat there (which maybe I should have taken my business elsewhere) to the horrible food that was there not only was it limited it was old and dried out when something was replace like the hot dish it was dumped on the old which made it worse to look at let alone eat usually you can find several things to eat at a buffet I would have done better going to Golden Coral because there was no mystic about this buffet don’t waste your money or time eating here

Erika Bang

A family favorite is the endless crab legs seafood night. You need to get there even before they open because even doing up half an hour later can result in a 3 hour wait to get in. Everything is pretty wonderful but they lose a star bc the dessert section is never very good even if the presentation looks nice. Often times everyone is disappointed by the flavor of things from the dessert station.

Arias M

41 bucks per person and the most limited amount of food ever. Honestly cant think of a single item i truly enjoyed . They dont even offer sushi! Dont recommend and wont be back

Stephanie Clausen

Had a good experience here, got to sample quite a few different types of food. Theres usually an American night during weekdays, i visited during an American night. Fairly clean area and nice staff. The bathrooms are also clean. I always enjoy the dessert bar after my meal!

Candy Ford

Took my grankids for my grandson Kamarion birthday and they had a blast!! They said it was the best buffet ever!!

L rhoades

It was ok. Nothing spectacular.

Bill Hoeft

Lots to choose from and good food, clean , formal dining area, and friendly staff.

Jenna Meier

Good food, helpful staff, clean atmosphere. It was nice that both gluten-free and vegan items were clearly labeled. The price seemed a little high for someone like me who really doesn't eat a lot, it would've been nice to pay by the pound or something like that...

Essis IIIET

A good place

doug b

If you dont know what youre gungry for, head here

Jane Hernandez

The food was awesome and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is fantastic as well.

J Pederson

The food is pretty good. Something for everyone when trying to get many people together. Seafood nights are really well worth the price. The customer service at the register and hostess podium could be improved.

Sandy Sabrosos

Terrible food choices the attendant at the meat section very rude and the people that bring you water super rude and rushed they bring any drink.they want not what you requested. Prices are very expensive for the quality of the food !

Marina Lyubliner

Very disappointed that Mystic Lake got rid of their Sunday night seafood night; that is the only reason we drove all the way out their to dine at the buffet. Although it was way overpriced, it was nice to be able to go out for crab legs instead of cooking them ourselves. The other food at the buffet is not worth it and we will unfortunately not be returning.

Paul Christensen

Seafood buffet for$42 per person is a bit steep.

Mike Hernandez

So bad the food, most of them frozen and so so expensive, doesn't worth it!!

Billy Porter

Their meals are the amazing. The location and atmosphere is fantastic. Will be back.

Amanda Jackson

Didn't have much of a selection (very spread out) but food was okay compared to other casino buffets I've been to. Dessert bar was very large and pretty good. Seating was not ideal.

Brianna Hippe

At first after reading the reviews I was a little skeptical to eat here, but I’m usually not one to listen to reviews. I really enjoyed the buffet! I love how the buffet had a little bit of everything for everyone’s taste and I really enjoyed the dessert bar! It was a pretty fair price too for all the food that was offered plus prime rib! I would definitely come back. The Chinese food like the noodles and rice were probably my favorite, salad bar was large as well!

Katie Casey

I like this buffet. The food is pretty good here.

emily ruoff

Came for a conference. All staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Clean spaces, including bathrooms.

Exploration Channel

The food is great on all days except fridays and sundays unless you like seafood. Its disappointing that when they have their seafood nights that they have no other options but sea food. They can't put a section of the buffet with normal food. Then they only list Sunday as their sea food night on their website not Friday.

Misty Mitchell

Recently remodeled and fewer offerings but still clean and nice. The line wasn't very long and the staff was attentive.

Val R

Lots of options to choose from. Love the seafood night.

James Rodriguez

I would think the casino would have a awesome buffet for the price it's not with it for me.we did go early and on a week day.

Amy Hollerud

Go for the desserts if nothing else! The buffet has a wide variety of dishes that I've never seen on other buffets

Kathy

Food not very good

Paul Sonnabend

This Buffet is outstanding. Breakfast lunch or dinner you cannot go wrong as long as you are hungry. You get to go back as many times as you would like.

Diana Obrien

This is a family friendly place. I and my family had a wonderful experience at this place. We will be back.

Roger l

Omelet was ok the rest of food was not very fresh and not alot if choice like use to be and very spendy and that's because it was champagne brunch but we didn't know and no o e offerd us any I think it should be cheaper if you don't want to drink champagne for breakfast

T Porter

Most of the food was good. Crab legs were refilled immediately when low. Had 3 different places with the crab legs..that was very nice so people aren't standing in line forever. We arrived at 3:15 on Sunday (seafood night). Waited about 40 minutes and was one of the first ones in. If you are not there on time, they will fill up and wait list you.

Paul Jilek

Update: We went there a 2nd time, and the food was significantly better. A lot of variety, and as we were expecting the 1st time. Original: The night we went it was stadium days, so basic ballpark food and nothing special. Not worth the $42. In the past they had a better selection.

Breann Silfverston

There was no wait to get in on a Friday night with plenty of seating available. A large eating area with lots of space between tables makes the restaurant feel big and spacious. The dessert buffet is front and center so as you eat your dinner you can drool over what's to come for a sweet treat. The food was hit or miss. Some stuff is amazing, some stuff just 'meh'. Nothing was bad, just meh... over all I would eat there again just get my fill on the stuff I know I like or was impressed with previously.

Anna Dee

Mediocre food. Some was warm, some wasn't. The Chinese was probably the best. Pudding tasted like there was Kahlua in it

Loulou V

Got sick after I don't know what I ate, but I puked my gut off in the bathroom, then I hear a lady next to my stall puking her guts off as well. Price has definitely been way overpriced, food choices aren't that much of a choice. Last time coming to this place.

Sheryl Evelius

Great food!!

Fearless Tv

I don't recommend anyone going here. They kicked me out for racial discrimination. There are 2 girls complained about me because when I speak I have an accent. I told the girls If my accent is bothering them then they can go somewhere else. I did the right thing and I waked away. They ended up complaining about me and the mystic lake security kicked me out even though I did not do anything wrong but defending myself against 2 racist girls. They called the police on me and I asked them what did I do wrong to deserve this. They said I did not do anything this week but because of my behavior last week which is defending myself. They first said I can not go there 3 days last week and this week they said I can not go to the mystic for 90 days. Again I asked what did I do wrong and they have no explanation. I recorded on a camera so I am going to consult this with my attorney for a lawsuit. I will also post the video on YouTube so anyone can watch it. I will post the YouTube link here as soon as it's ready. We used to go there every Friday about 7 to 8 friends and spent thousands of dollars. When I told this to security they said they dont care. What I was hopping Mystic do is that defending who is being racially discriminated but they failed it. They took the racist girls side because all of the people attacked me including police officers and security employees were all white. I know our country is divided more than ever and the mystic encouraged the racist people to do this behavior by punishing the victim.

Victoria Ross

Good place to eat out. Their meals are the best. The location and atmosphere is amazing. Recommended.

Nicole P

Best buffet out of any casino we've been to. I have family near by, so we always go here once for dinner while in town. Food for any diet and they have multiple sugar free desserts!

Alex Safonov

Very disappointing. Decent made to order omelet means 2 stars instead of 1. Otherwise, worse "Chinese" food than at a cheap Chinese buffet. Other food straight from the Old Country Buffet, with less variety. Never again.

Bridget Grandberry

Not Good @ all. I have been a long standing customer of the buffet for over 10 years. My most recent visit was very disappointing. A group of friends took me there for my birthday lunch and the food selection & dessert counter was very limited. Cakes very dry, chicken was fried in old oil and corn beef was tough. I found out after the fact the mimosa came with the meal, The mimosa was never offered. Mystic Lake please make immediate changes

John R Schulte

Seems like they have less choices for a $20 buffet than they did in the past. Roast beef was the main meat dish.

Daniel Kragthorpe

Pretty decent buffet, lots of options, different menus for holidays

Tom Bowman

This is a very good sized very well-developed Casino with several restaurants as well as various types of Gaming they have no smoke sections and the buffet is excellent Exemplar Buffet

Beau Duick

Very disappointed, went for Saturday prime rib, I've had beef roast that taste better than their prime. The rest of the buffet wasn't anything to write home about, had worse and way better. I think they're over priced for the quality of food served.

necie green

Update: NO MORE CRAB LEGS ON SUNDAYS. Whoever signed off on that sent thousands of customers out the door. The buffet was so barren, employees were standing around because there was nothing to do. There was barely a line due to the disinterest in the pan Asian food which was awfully bland. A lot of fried chicken, noodles, and food you can make at home for less. You know the food is not good when the employees are bored because there's no work to do because people were turning away. We wont be returning.

박병건

We are five family Inside buffet we have to go though casino. Casino air so bad all smoking smell you have to breathe..... my so sorry my kids Food are disappoint.... I paid $21per person and this buffet very no good I think my hometown Chinese buffet much better I do not recommend.

Marina Suarez

Good selection but a lot of it is cold

Chris Frogge

Food is quite good but the price is starting to become too expensive for what is offered.

Heidi Roman

Love going here with my family on a Sunday to enjoy the brunch.

Steve Johnson

I remember when the Buffet at Mystic was $8.99 for dinner. Seems like it has been jumping up in price between $1-$2 dollars a person more every year for many years. It has become unaffordable unless it gets comped. Way overpriced for an average buffet. I gave it 1 extra star for the variety.

Danielle Walker

Best Casino buffet in Minnesota

Artyom Paul

Horrible place all over No service Smoking all over even in non smoking areas Food is junk Never again

Cat Flaherty

All I can say is....Yummy!

Takara Taziki Sauce

It's gone downhill. Don't go on a weekday night unless they're doing something special. I remember eating here during better times. The selection and quality just makes me yearn for the old days!! I promised myself I would never come back after what I had the very last time!

Micky Hilton

Out fricken ragious!!! I like the surroundings the waiting staff is quick and efficient. The food is next to amazing. The cold bar is fresh and crisp. The meat are in my eye always done perfectly. But the place I always go to is the breads. They have a selection of breads that are the greatest around. Best buffet in the cities. If you want a buffet not a recommendation but I'm telling you this is your place. No second thoughts.

Calisha Sanders

The buffet has many choices, endless drinks and desserts to die for. The tables are clean and you are seated quickly. Great choices for kids or adults and great food. I'd definitely recommend since I go here regularly

Mrs.Robinson's Curls

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME THEY WILL HAVE YOU WAIT 2-3 HOURS BEFORE THEY ALLOW YOU TO JOIN THE MASSIVELY LONG LINE THAT WILL TAKE YOU ANOTHER 2 HOURS AND 1 HOUR IN THROUGH THE LINE YOU PAY $45 A PERSON AND IF YOU DONT MAKE IT TO THE END BEFORE THEY CLOSE AT 10:20 YOU WILL HAVE WASTED YOUR TIME NO FOOD NO MONEY. .SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

Lucas Van

I like this place a lot. The cream cheese puffs are nice. The prime rib cuts are great. The dessert selection is excellent. Be sure to try to the flan. It's super! The service is nice too. They're very attentive.

Anne W

Amazing food. Great variety and reasonable price!

dan m

Had buffet today and must say not impressed at all. Has really gone down hill. Prime rib tasted absolutely terrible. Way over priced for below average tasting food. Also our server got us drinks and never came back to our table for drink refills or to pick up used plates.

cathy scoville

Went on Monday night, the food was horrible. Roasted chicken had no meat, fried chicken was meaty but over cooked and dry. Roast was so tuff it was hard to cook. Cashier had an attitude as her co worker argued with a manager about being kept late and missing his buss. The saving grace wher they got 2 stars was my server.

Andrew Mosenden

Over priced a bit bland for the $25.00

John Debnam

Enjoy the choices. Friendly staff. After WLS, flavors and options s are really important.

Daniel Edmondson

Roast beef they don't slice off enough

Ron Godbey

Great choices and prepared well.

McKayla Popa

Love coming here! Super fun environment and the buffet food is always delicious:)

Andriy Bezpalko

Typical buffet food. Good variety but average quality food, nothing super spectacular. I recommend going at a busy time when food is fresh. *this only reviewing the regular buffet, not brunch or seafood night.

Elizabeth Pena

The service is always amazing The food was delicious and well served. The staff us good and happy guys. Thank you guys.

Rocky

Last 3 times it's been horrible prim rib low quality taste not so great. Empty spots where food should be dirty counters and utensils I did give 1 star because they finally after years have cheese cake made with sugar and not just the sugar free one

Andy Hayden

Can always count on several food genres like Mexican, Asian, some American. Good salad bar and excellent dessert selection. What is lacking is any depth to the Asian and Mexican selections.

Tunde University of Minnesota

1st, must express our gratitude to Jen and Matt (both pictured) for their kindness & CSR. Matt showed us how to navigate the hotel. Jen’s attentiveness to our needs was über-

Brian Trotter

Hamburgers and brats really

Emily Jackson

Absolutely the worst buffet I've ever eaten! We went to the new year's day brunch.....wow nothing but cheap, poorly cooked, cold "food" Definitely not worth the $24! Save your money.

Jovona Crooks

Love it.. Best buffet so far

christine tatge

Arrives at 4;00. Doors open at 4;30. Not a lot of people in line when we got to the doors we were told it would be 3 1/2 hour wait. That is crazy. We drove 2 hours. We had 3 kids with us. We are so hungry. Be warned you will have to put up with this. Soooo upset.

Shel

I was very satisfied with the food that I had here. I appreciate the discount offered for members, the wait was less than 10 minutes for our fairly large group, and even though I wasn't very hungry, the small sample of stuff that I did have was tasty, warm, and fresh. If I'm ever back in the area and circumstances dictate that I end up here, I will rest easy knowing that it's a solid choice all around.

Chad Smith

Mystic Lake used to have the best buffet in the state. Now it's just boring cheap buffet fare. Save your time and money and stop at OCB on your way to the casino.

Obe T.

The $160 spent was wasted. It was my first time going there and I was very disappointed. Although the waiters and staff were very nice and professional, the experience wasn't. The floors were dirty and had food on them. Also, the foods I had were very salty and either overcooked, not seasoned enough or not cooked long enough. The noodles I had was very chewy and flavorless. They said that the food was fresh but it didn't taste like it. And most people I saw were only eating the crab legs and that's it.

Reid Ronnander

Best buffet in Minnesota boundaries. Would be 5 stars, but the price is steep. Would recommend especially the crab leg buffet on Sunday. Usually there is a long line, so arrive early.

Jarrod Condon

My girlfriend and I have been here a few times and bottom line they always have alot of great food and sometimes some items that aren't so great. But we never walk away disappointed.

Dion Turner

On the plus side, I dont have food poisoning. On the down side, for 22 bucks (on Monday, weekends double) I ate the most bland and mass produced food I think I've had since eating school lunch.

j w

It was my first time staying at mystic when I enjoyed the all you can eat crab legs. Unfortunately I drove all the way out there to find out that they no longer serve crab legs which was very upsetting especially due to the fact that the other foods that they offer are overcooked or undercooked. Instead of getting rid of the crab legs I feel as though they could of got rid of other options to be able to keep the crab legs. I would never recommend anyone going to this buffet. I also found out if your still looking for all you can eat crab legs treasure island is still offering it.

Stephanie Cannon

The food is good. They run out sometimes because it's so good. I've never had a wait to get seated. I missed the fish when I went last Friday. That was great during lent. Only drawback is that the price is a little high, but not too bad depending on what they have.

gil boyle

Very expensive. The food is typical casino buffet. Alot of variety, most food seemed dried out. They do have excellent sugar free desserts.

Sarah Lotz

Not the best. Brought my daughter for her birthday and feel like I wasted money. Also the salad ranch was not good. Not sure I'll be back here.

Steve S

Average food, no lines (we went on a Tuesday night). Deserts were splendid. Potatoes O’brien were good, Yukon Gold not so much. Prime rib was good. Service was excellent. They took our spent plates away immediately, so we did not have to look at them.

Jazmine Ware

This is the worst buffet ever. The food is awful and dry. Tasteless. Barf

Acts2:38NOW JesusisGod

What can I say other than I wish I could sleep there LOL!!! SO AMAZING!

Anthony Pizzalato

Good food and very clean. The staff was polite and served us well.

Vanessa Mccahon

The buffet here is pretty good.

Larry Rusk

Don't believe the BS reviews on here. It's the best buffet in the state!

Jessica Neal

If I could give no stars I would. This was seriously the most disgusting buffet I have ever had. After nearly spending $200.00 on a room for the night I would have thought that the buffet reflected Mystic Lake's expensive prices (25.00 a person). The salad bar? Lettuce, cherry tomato, cucumber, onion, and hard-boiled egg. That's it. And the rest of the food? Disgusting- everything was so gross we took a bite and left it on our plates. It's like Mystic Lake does not care if their food is good or not. Which is really disappointing because I spend quite a lot of money there and that's what I got. A stomach ache and major disappointment. I will never eat there again. I think Mystic should be ashamed of the quality of the food and embarrassed. It was total garbage and we were furious that we paid that much.

Jennie Gazdik

I used to love eating here. My partner and I decided to hang around and have dinner. We should have gone to little six instead. The roast beef was only cooked well done and was tough. The mashed potatoes were instant. The only type of fish was baked haddock that was tougher than leather. The salad bar was down to less than 10 items, and only banana bread available at the bread counter. What happened to the fresh baked rolls and breads? The awesome salad bar? The choices of meats? I'm very disappointed. Sad. I guess if I want a great buffet I'll stick with Treasure Island. Edit: I thought well at least I'll have room for desert, but the crepes were the consistency of construction paper. What has happened to this place? If i were the manager here, I'd be absolutely embarassed by the quality or lack thereof in the food offered.

auntie well

Yummy. Food is really good. Sandwiches are good. You cant go wrong.. Make sure you use your players card

Betty Schultz

Food was delicious and well cooked. Service was at top notch.The server was good and awesome.

Brandon Smith

Went there last night and there was nothing good on buffet. Probably the worse i've ever seen it. Fried shrimp was burned, found a bone in the enchilada's which was weird. Pizza was cold and dry. One would think with all the money that gets thrown around there, the food would be better. If i could give it zero stars, i would.

Eric Whitaker

Amazing. The food was great, and the staff is on point, making sure to take care of their guests.

Marlena Harris

Friday night, not to busy. Service was so slow (drinks). Food was luke warm. Not much looked appetizing.

Debbie Smith

Tons of different foods, always great. Better than the run of the mill buffets.

EVAN SENG

This place is too bad! I ate some fruit salad and wanted some ice cream back! But find my desk has been cleaned up! The waiter saw me sitting in my seat! Don't ask me if I needed a fork or a spoon! And the expression was very unhappy! I don't know why! I don't eat much! She didn't get me a few plates! I'm so angry! I won't come back

Matt Benz

It's a big buffet, but I'm not a huge fan of buffets.

Renita oneal

There should be more and better choices for the price they charge.

Send It Minnesota

I love crab night, however the 4 star comes from a lack of new deserts. The desert bar has the same thing when come every week. Some of the food needs seasoning.

Vikesh & Prarthana Nemani

God awful food. Stale, tasteless and over cooked. Even the dessert is tasteless!

PEDRO EDUARDO

Good price for a decent food options.

Anan B

Very bad buffet for Friday night . The food is cold and nothing was fresh. Even the fruits. It used to be good few years ago. But right now it's bad. They need to make good food if they wants to charge $25 a person. The food quality currently worth nothing

Chris

Best buffet in the area....plus a great casino.

Villada Dejvongsa

Unbelievable long wait for buffet style. 2-3 hrs is unacceptable! Poor customer service.

Orlando Bates

Great Buffett

John Doe

It was terrible lacked flavor and high priced . Me and my wife paid $50 buck on a non-flavored mess and the food was almost cold come on mystic lake you got to do better then this.

M Z

Here on Sunday night used to be seafood night all you can eat crab legs which is now gone for good and it is Asian food night the food is fare to not very good and their prime rib is not tasty and kind of dry try Treasure Island or grand casino Hinckley

Travis Burton

If you like buffets - this is always a good one to visit.

Penny Houston

Food has no taste. Old chicken and dried food. The staff is very friendly and great service. Definitely a family night at the Casino. Surprised to see so many children at this casino. No live bands/ music or dancing floors.

Cindy Roden

Food was good but offered a small variety

Erik Zentgraf

Good food, clean and good service.

Maybe it's me but the ML buffet seems to have lost its luster. The food is good and the place is fairly clean, but not enough for $25 to $40 per adult (depending on nite) for dinner.

Never been blown away by the food chouces or quality of food.

We have been to the buffet several times and it has always been terrific. Last night we went at 5:30 PM to beat the rush and the food was TERRIBLE! The Prime Rib was well done, and everything else was just meh! They have changed their menu and there was no fresh fruit, no salmon, no steamed vegetables (in fact, the ONLY cooked vegetable was Creamed Corn), etc. We were SO disappointed and we won’t go back. What’s up Mystic Lake? Not making enough money so you are now skimping on the buffet?

Wow. SAVE UR MONEY!!! This place is HORRIBLE. It smells SUUUPER bad! The food is SUPER hard! The dessert is pretty good tho. ***WARNING*** May cause severe headache, stomach aches, and nausea. I would rather go to McDonald’s!! I give the waiter 5 stars!!! She was really nice. I would give the place a 0 if I could!!!

For a 30 dollar buffet I was expecting some quality food and plenty of options. This buffet had limited options and most of the meat was dried out. I was very disappointed.
