We got there a little after 3pm. They soon closed down for lunch to open for dinner the host was really nice about letting us know.

Laurie Dufrene

Delicious food here! Had a wonderful time

susan weber

Excellent! As a local we will be back soon!

Frances Grant

They have a lot of choices in food at this buffet depends on what you get as to were it is good. Check out all of the different food station first before making you selection. Different food stations have the same food but prepared different.

tammy ickes

Great food great service always

Shelma Coleman

A great place to eat

Renee Holmes

Very nice employees

cynthia cuebas

Friendly staff, food delicious...

Eloise Jackson

Love the variety. My girl Misty hooks up a mean Veggie fresh omelet, always remembering my order each time. Staff believes in customer service.

Karen Peterman

Always a great place to eat. Food is always hot and seasoned well. my complaint is our waitress. She never refilled our drinks or cleared the table.

Teresa Benton

The buffet was good. They serve brunch on Saturday. Kids 5 and under eat free. There were many options.

Tammie Willingham

It was Our Anniversary that We were celebrating at The IP for the weekend. First time coming to that casino. We also invited Our son and Daughter in Law. They enjoyed themselves also. Great Service!!

Kimberly Cole Zemke

We might have enjoyed it if not for the fact that as soon as we paid and sat down to eat, after telling the lady we paid that my brother HAD EATEN at the Atra Convention that he attended and paid $250.00 to attend. However my husband and I are recovering from back injuries so my brother was pushing our Mum's wheelchair. So we I paid for my Mum and My and my husband's food and barely got our plates fixed and sat down and my Mum asked my brother to bitter her cornbread roll. So an Asian lady walked over to us haranging in a language we could not understand. I finally made out the word receipt. Which we could not seem to locate and the lady became furious. She ran away and I ate two bites of food. What I was really wanting to do was dive into the chocolate cake I had on the table however the cashier came over and started telling us she had to see our receipt which ended up being stuck under my Mum's plate, by my Mum who has Dementia. After we located the receipt and gave it to the cashier who I KNOW recognized us as paying her fifteen minutes before. She then started telling us we did not pay for my brother's meal, my brother was not eating. I had explained that to her. She kept on and on and I have no idea what she wanted from us. It felt like reverse discrimination to me. Everyone in the restaurant was staring at us. My brother got up and left hoping we could then eat in peace. However the cashier still kept droning on. I was furious. I felt sick so I told her fine I will leave too and allow my precious 70 plus year old Mum to eat in peace with my husband however she kept on and my husband contacted security who made them refund our money in full. God bless the security guard. I will NEVER go back to IP again!!

kathy smith

Food was awful. Cookies was so hard that l couldn't eat it.

Bridgette Major

Best crab legs! And biggest best buffet!

Dejuana Vaughn

Food was average. It use to be very good. Not anymore. Also, it's ridiculous how expensive it is and you have to pay extra for the crab legs. It's more ridiculous they weigh them. Besides that, they were cold. Management really need to do a retake on this. We spend a lot of money in these casinos for them to be that stingy with the crablegs. Also, the machines are too tight!

Antonio

So so, definitely need to improve

Michael Creel

Except for the crawfish not being as spicy as usual, it was really good

D Slocum

It was great however the cashier said, you can't give the crablegs back or get a refund. I didn't understand at first but quickly realized past customers may have tried that or even tried to take them home. Very funny

life as me

Back Bay is in the IP hotel and casino Biloxi MS the food is Awsome

Lori Brown

Love, love, this buffet. The fried chicken was the best! The prime rib wasn't as good as it usually is. Salad fresh veggies, The bread pudding is the best. Great food all around.

Steven Mullikin

Amazing selection! Everyone was so attentive too. Even though it was the middle of lunch, I didn't have to wait in any lines and when I needed someone to cut or scoop something, they were on it before I opened my mouth. Very relaxed and professional.

Jessica Lowrey

Omg the seafood buffet is amazing

Sanether Armstrong

Everything and everyone was nice , and we enjoyed it.

Avon Diva

Great value for the price. Let's just say I am stuffed. I wish they'd bring back the all you can eat crab legs. But you can get a bucket for $7.99. Honestly it's still definitely worth it. I would have given it a five-star but due to the fact we had a very lazy waitress, I couldn't do that.

Jason Wiggins

Really good food, fairly large selection. Desserts are especially good. Biggest drawback is it is in my opinion fairly overpriced. Three adults and a child for dinner will run you 85 bucks. The food is good if not great but in no universe is it worth 85 bucks.

Duroboat Fan

Was once the best casino buffet on the coast, but that is no longer the case. The crab legs were the best thing there but they've taken that away and you have to go on weekends just to pay extra for crab legs. Even the other items have seem to slowly disappear. There used to be long wait lines and it was worth the wait. No one goes here anymore and you don't have to wait to get a sub par buffet at a high price

Montana Woodard

Everything was awesome steak cooked perfect, crab legs awesome best lobster tail ever

David Reynolds

A solid eating experience. The smoked Pork Belly was off the hook!!! The brunch was nice with good food for the taking. A bit more attention to overall flavor combinations and some seasoning and it would be a 5 star.

Jesse Alcala

Excellent service and buffet. Fried chicken and crab legs excellent.

Teddy Money

Like the rest fair at the best

Jeannette Bennett

Prime rib was tough. Catfish mushy inside and tasted muddy. Shrimp was good.

Mary Loomis

The food was very good. The servers was very attending to our table with ice tea. The Buffet on Friday is Crab Legs fried fish shrimp and cat fish. A lot to choose from. It is in my opinion is a very good place.

Heather Tweedy

Breakfast buffet was not worth the price, the eggs were runny and the bacon burnt the waffles were not freshly made. The dinner buffet was better.

Joanna Sanford

Arrived right when the dinner buffet started and hot items, like the fried shrimp, mac n cheese, and over cooked broccoli were cool. This place is 1 step up from the Palace Buffet down the road, which is being generous. Sad to report the best item is fried chicken that tasted much like my local grocery store chicken in NC. I don’t eat this much chicken back home. The other good items were at the Asian bar, and the best dessert from presentation and taste was a rich fudge brownie. The pecan tart was much like cracking open a pecan from a tree, bitter aftertaste. The coffee was terrible, the same as at Palace Buffet. Throw it away! You’ll find better coffee at the coffee station inside the casino. The dessert guy was short on patience when asked about the unrecognizable items, like the blueberry “canned” cobbler. Overheard a lady two tables over asking for the supervisor after two staffers working the salad bar ignored the waiting customers. Before leaving the table, I had to pull out the Tums. Looks like Beau Rivage is the winner so far for the best buffet experience.

Doris Martin

Good fresh food, friendly server, very good.

Amy N Lynn

Seems like the quality has gone down over the years. Meats were good, but sides were bland and boring. Not worth the price anymore. I did a survey and received a phone call to follow up. Seems like they value customer feedback. Hoping they will improve food quality and customer experience!

Brenda Nolan

It was the greatest place to eat..never seen one that great. Food was the bomb....My husband felt spoil..Was great......

T Bennett

Horrible! After having to pay for crab legs (1.5#) they were either over or under cooked. All the food was horrible..but the desserts were visually delightful. Never going back and have steered friends away letting them know to go somewhere else.

Alyssa Byrd

The food was delicous but when it was time for dessert the food was very plain and unenjoyable . Even the whipped cream was plain. Overall i enjoyed it and am looking to go back. BTW i am 11.

Glen Huacuja

An excellent buffet with a wide range of themes to choose from at every meal. Lots of ways to reduce to overall cost of a meal: B-connect points, military service, and more. Check the website for more ways to enjoy your dining experience.

Shellah Young

Delicious!! Great variety, fresh foods. Dungeness crab legs seasoned to perfection

vincent wright

Great food, great service.

Ann Chadwell

Great service and quailty

Marvin Anderson

Saturdays buffet was good however the meat I had gotten at the carving station was pretty much inedible. It was like trying to chew rubber. However the Sunday buffet was excellent at lunchtime as the prime rib was cooked just right.

Lee Kennedy

Excellent, good food and service.

shaun petty

great food and service

Brian Roman

Good buffet especially for breakfast.

Anthony Madrid

Not good. No one was at the meat section to hand out turkey or sausage. The fish choices were dry and HARD. Not much in the way of selection either. The same stuff from one section to the next.

Dianna Bard

Great food an service

Craig Brown

Wide selection and good price. And 20% veteran discount.

Mindy Cassel

It's a pretty standard low quality buffet. I went in the morning the best thing I had was the hashbrowns very yummy. Everything else was dry or tasteless to me. Then we only got to see our waitress once all I wanted was some ketchup it took 15 min just to get that. But the people working there are friendly to be honest. You can tell they don't hate their job. I think our lady just forgot and those things happen.

Just Lu

Its pretty good. Mildly seasoned. Pancakes a little weird. Sweet waitress. And people at the serving line... the omelette station is a nice touch

Gwill301

Best customer services, I prefer dinner over lunch, the staff really care and makes a big difference!

Thanh Nguyen

Service is great food need improved

Felicia McGuire

I enjoyed the food and customer service, can't wait to visit again!

Alfred Houston

Paid extra money for rib eye steak that was very rare, though ordered medium. Flavor was non existent! Chef/grill person seemed to have an "eat it, or just throw it away " attitude. Rest of the buffet was equally unimpressive.

sherry hoggle

Great food! Service was wonderful! Enjoyed our day..

trenda Hinton

Food was hot and fresh.. It was a great atmosphere!

Angel/ Samir Johnson

The food was good but all the white people was lookin at me Sterling (racist)

L

$85 for 3 people!!! And it was aweful,we thought it included snow crab legs! NO the waitress said that was $7.99 per person. It was same quality as Picadilly or worse. NEVER again!!!!

Double Take Entertainment Group

Food was better than reviews i saw but still quite average for a supposedly upscale buffet

The Machinist

Food was good but would have liked a little more seafood variety.

Stephen Polzer

Always a great selection... Great prime rib

Leslie Mallette Taylor

I'm loving it

Racheal Cooley Dungan

Worst Chinese food ever. Even the soy sauce was not good. The Southern choices were fair but not the best. The service was good enough. This was the SEAFOOD night and I couldn't even locate the snow crab legs. For the price it was disappointing. Wouldn't go back unless it was free. The mashed taters were awesome though...

Midge Blocker

The lunch was great

Kelly T.

One of the best casino buffets in Biloxi! Lots of variety.

Chelsea Rodriguez

Food could have been hotter, but overall it was decent. I just don't like luke warm food.

Preston W

I have been eating here for years. It seems as the price gets higher the quality gets lower. This is one of the worst buffets.

BENEDETTO CANNON

Good choice of different cuisines and homemade ice cream and desserts!

Jessica Leandro

I've been coming to this buffet since my childhood-- over 10 years. Believe me when I say it is a shell of what it used to be. Crab legs are no longer included, but available for an extra $8. The variety on the buffet is good, but the quality definitely leaves something to be desired. The shrimp, Asian cuisine, and carving station are decent. The desserts are not nearly as good as they used to be, and the coffee machine never seems to work anymore. Overall the food is fine, but not as good as you'd expect for the price (~$30).

Donald Powers

Anything you wanted to eat, they prepared.

Dainett Bailey

Great food and service

LaDonna Stapleton

The food was terrible tonight. Granted, we arrived 27 minutes before closing time (By the way, what kind of restaurant, especially in a casino, closes at nine o'clock?). But that's no excuse for the taste and temperature of most of the food. I hurried to make two plates just in case they began to close down the buffet before I had a chance to go back for more food. Sadly to say, I didn't even eat most of the food that I got. It just was not appealing. we used to eat here often, but it seems to have gone down. We've got another food comp for next month, so we will try it again. But I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Kirsten Cornwall

It was ok we were only seen to once and they gave me crab instead of lobster but the crab was pretty good i am only upset about the sevice really because we pretipped generously. Won't be doing that again. But we will be back for the good food eventually.

Timmothy Russell

Everything was good,, except the lobster and crawfish. The lobster , It was like chewing bubble gum. The crawfish was way over boiled. The tails just fell apart when peeling out the shell.

Phuoc Phu

The food hot and fresh, more selection great food for the price, good service

Denise Brown

Great food selection, dessert not so much

Cassie Baker

It was decent. Nothing to write home about.

Jeremy Herman

Service was excellent but food was cold.

Ronda Maddox

Looking for breakfast buffett.stated on line 7 to 1030am..12.99.go there it was 22.oo and 15.00 for kids.did not know, because there was no sign or anything to indicate it was brunch and not breakfast on this one day every week.after paying 80.00.the food prior to eatting.it was cold ,the eggs tasted like powder.had to spit the keish out it was so discusting.with fruit in season it was bitter and sour.the bacon was plastered together could not get one piece had to get 5.the apple cobbler was not even sweet and the icecream tasted funny.the eggs Benedict the egg tasted funny.may be bad sitting under a heat lamp.after trying all that was severely nauseated the smell.of the other food made the thought of trying anything else was not appetising.grand kids for 15 only ate a few pieces of fruit trying to find a good one.one melon one cantaloupe and one pineapple.one roasted bell pepper.the tea was so over sweet it was syrup but no pancakes or waffles to.pour it on.grandson ate bacon and bowl of grits... Does not warrant 30.00 for theirs.will never return.discusting.and I'm a fat kid and eat anything.

Bobby Smith

Food tastes old

Jennifer Thiroux Kennedy

Love their Buffet!

Stephanie Kirby

Awesome family friendly

pauline herring

Fantastic! I always stay at Harrah's and we had eaten at Back Bay several times a while back and it was horrible! Now its totally changed. It's worth a retry.

Alec Cunningham

The buffet is $30 on Sunday including a tip. It’s nothing more than a low-quality Chinese buffet with more shrimp. They have snow-crab legs. But they charge you $7.99 more for those. I left feeling very upset at how much money I spent based on what I got. The Palace Casino buffet is close by, and it’s cheaper, much cleaner, and has more/better options. I would recommend going there instead of here.

Kermit Hudson

High quality of food adequately prepared

Mary M

Unhappy. I came to celebrate my birthday. Say I had to play $25 to get voucher for birthday buffet. So the buffet not free. I can only do the crab cakes legs. $7.99. it just me. So I got the bucket. Couldn't eat them all. The soda tasted nasty. So I began to take left over crabs back to my room. The dinning room manager said I couldn't, I was like I paid for them. They didn't come with the buffet. Say all food have to stay here. I said I guess you going to dump theses back in the pot and resale them. I didn't want to make a big issue. But I want be eating at the IP any more.

Nerissa Gaylord

The food was excellent and the service was also

Ozgur Duman

Used to be our go to buffet in Biloxi. The quality has been consistently declining for the last 2 years.

Steve T

Best Buffet on the coast lots of variety including Alaskan

Helen Fasler

Oh my goodness, I feel the pounds rolling on when I eat there. You just wanted to try a little bit of everything. Don't even get me started on the dessert bar. Indulge a little.

Junius conway

Good Food not expensive great family friendly...

Thirl Thompson

Great food quality and selection. Best red beans and rice outside Nawlins!

Nick Hanenberg

Lots of good food

Connie Richardson

We enjoyed the lunch and dinner buffet. I wasn't keen on the breakfast scrambled eggs because they were too moist. My family ate and enjoyed everything.

Billy Durocher

Good food nice staff

Mare S

Not bad. Good variety.

Johnathon Lirette

It's got cool game

Gwen Price

Great food.

Sandy Poe

I always love going to the Back Bay Buffet at the IP. Great food, clean and always fresh. Our server wasn't very good this time but usually they are very good. Looking forward to going back in May for my free birthday buffet.

Shirley Robinson

Love the food and the atmosphere.

Elizabeth Ward

Just a little noisy...The waiter did not ask if I wanted any more tea. But the food was very good and also the price was good..

Pauline Dube

Worst food ever..OVER priced dried out over cooked food.. Could of eaten at McD..and gotten better Food.

Elizabeth Hill

It was clean, but way too expensive for quality. Nothing tasted the way I expected it-- gravy tasted like sausage with no evidence of actual sausage. French toast tasted like burnt flour. Servers were nice. If you pick and choose what you get, there's decent food for not having to leave the casino.

Mizz Tanya

Food is great! But I think the prices are a little high for the buffet on Sundays.

Kaquandria Battiste

Nice Buffett located in the Ip casino....employees great....awesome food but a little steep in prices..

Tobi Franklin

Great food and line went fast

Debra Babbs-Martin

Too much delicious food to eat! Wide variety to choose from. Friendly staff and clean environment. Hot food correct temperature and cold items nice and chilled. Mimosa delightful.

Luretha Burns

Staff are friendly and food is good. Reasonably priced at $16.00 for lunch buffet.

Patsy Lewis

The food is always great here. Love the crab legs

Tarika Polk

Food is always fresh & so much to chose from on their buffet.

Curtis Liverett

prime rib too tough to eat. fried shrimp too salty uneatable most foods I got couldn't finish not good my wife's opinion is the same not good

Phu Nguyen

Very good for lunch

gail parker

As good as any other buffet.

Samantha Miley

this place was literally disgusting! AND WELL OVER PRICED! I BELIEVE RYANS BUFFET IS A 5 * NEXT TO THESE GUYS! I'm only giving it 1* because I cant give it a zero!

Karen Avery

Awesome Buffet. Lots of choices from the salad bar, through the pasta station, to the deserts area. The mult-national food stations ensures satisfaction.

Charles Moss

Great variety of good food

murf stax

Can't go wrong with fresh seafood...

Walter Freeman

Five old friends and I enjoyed the buffet and fellowship. Food was great and the company was fantastic

Gino Hamilton

Great seafood and great variety

Mary Boyd

Great food anything your heart desires all type of food unlimited Buffet

Barbara Wilson

Some of the food was good. Some was a little dry. Was very busy today.

William Swilley

Breakfast buffet is my favorite, but the lunch and dinner are good too!

Josie

It was okay. Bought a bucket of crab legs for my granddaughter and myself. Food is not like it used to be. Enjoyed the pho

Shana Walker

The food was fresh! The waitress was really nice

Cindy Bach

Traveling to biloxi is my favorite pastime. Their buffet is good, not excellent.

David Mott

Food was very delicious. Crableggs was full of flavor. Price with carbblegs 24.95 now that was just what I was looking for. Do not miss out if you are in the area and want a good lunch.

Glenn Hoyt

Wasn't told at the register that the crab was extra. That's why we came. Remember a bunch of folks from out of town don't know how you operate. Inform the people at the register. Pretty pricey but food wasn't bad. Dessert cakes were old and hard. All in all an O.K.experience.

Donna Strand

Got there at 945am for Bfast buffet that was scheduled to end at 1030am. The scrambled eggs were good. Limited choices and mostly lukewarm, with nothing special. Probably won't stop there for breakfast again

Ferron Pittman

It was good the food was excellent what you need after a long bus ride and playing slots.

TJ Hwang

First of all I ate at this restaurant more than 30 times. And I had a meal at every hotel in Biloxi. Two years ago, it was a restaurant where I want to give a 4 star. But now I think it's a 3 star restaurant. Many people visit here to eat seafood. But I don't think many people will find it in the future. People who eat free meals will keep looking. If you want all you can eat seafood, there are other hotels nearby. You should look it up.

Ken & Tina

Good, but can be better. While visiting the area we went to most of the Casino buffet's. Many Casino's offer compensations to eat free, as does IP Casino. The food itself was decent, but seemed somewhat bland. Not much of a crowd at the time of visit which can also influence taste as the food tends to not be refreshed as quickly as when they are busy. Staff was friendly, atmosphere seemed a little on the cold side. Overall average when comparing to other buffets.

Ralph Kegan

This place had a 4 star review from me 6 months ago. But the experience I just had didnt even deserve a 1 star paid 50 bucks for 2 people to eat and we couldn't even get 1 plate of food in us it was so nasty. There buffet has gone down immensely in the past 6 months would not recommend it to anybody especially with how expensive it is.

James McCarthy

Food was great. Excellent choice from multiple styles. Service was efficient, never had an empty glass. Dining area was spacious yet warm and inviting.

Cletis Napier

One of the best buffets on the coast.

Jennifer Bolton

Good food and great staff

Kathleen Moore

People were nice and attentive
