This review is for the casino and buffet only.We decided to hit this casino up because we are cha-ching cha-ching floozies and never pass up a casino when we are in the area...well kinda. This casino is huge compared to the ones in Palm Springs and the drive breathtaking as we drove pass Lake Cachuma, though winding at some parts. The gaming floor rivals that of Pechanga and has an earthy feel to it,making me feel at home right away. They have about 20 gaming tables in the center,a large poker room off to the side, and a great selection of penny slots but not as good as Spotlight 29. You will not be bored here trying out the different games. It was not crowded when we visited so waiting was nonexistent when we spotted our favorite machines. After about an hour of playing we decided to try out their buffet on the upper floor and we were not disappointed. Though smaller than what we expected they had a good brunch selection.The real surprise was the most delicious Eggs Benedict I have ever had. I ate 4 of them and was so tempted in licking my plate each time I finished one. They were that yummy! After our meal we went back to the gaming floor and broke even when we decided to leave.Not bad in my opinion. We played till right before it got dark because driving down the mountain would of been a bit too scary for me in the dark.All in all it was a good trip and we planned...

Service was slow considering there were only 2 or 3 other tables but the waitress was really friendly so it didn't matter in the end.
Chumash Cafe has some delicious food, I will give it that! I had the Beer Battered Fish Tacos as well as some fries with a side of ranch and it was all super fresh and the fish tacos were especially tasty. My friends ordered mashed potatoes and gravy and they were also fantastic. Really cool...
Read moreThe food here is decent, but the prices are a little on the high side considering this is inside the casino. The nachos are one exception, however, as the plate is huge, it is a great deal and perfect for sharing. It costs another $6 to add ground beef to your nachos, but again a wise addon as the portion is really for at least two people and even a decent appetizer for four. If you get a club discount here and have some comps to use, you will not starve, but if you have to pay full price, you might want to head to the buffet or the food...
