The Buffet at Ameristar Casino — Restaurant in Council Bluffs

The food was horrible, mostly cold and sub pair. For there prime rib ,( I have better quality meat from arbys at least they have flavor and its chewable) i enjoy a good medium rare piece of meat however when its tough, no flavor and you have to use ranch just to swallow it down tells you alot. No flavor must be the speciality as even the simplest things like chicken legs , mac and cheese or the runny mash potatoes all were bland and again cold. Even the Chinese food was gross, i have better sweet and sour sauce from a can and their crab rangoon with no cream cheese filling, they should be ashamed. You can even tell the fried shrimp came out of of a box that u would get from the side of road selling those great deals as freezer burnt shrimp is not what a $40 plate meal would count for. Salad bar was weak with little to no extra toppings to put on your salad, However it was probably the best thing there to eat. The desserts were dry out, like the been sitting out since last Saturday because no one wanted them. Server cant bring drinks as she keep forgetting the refills or what we were drinking in the first place. I use to love going to the buffet before covid happens and thought my family of 4 at $130 meal would actually be worth it, however it was not , i would never return nor recommend to anyone. I think the family would have enjoyed McDonald's better then what we had there tonight. Save your money and time and go...

This is the first time I have ever completed a review of a restaurant but, it was so bad I had to save others. We decided to try the crab leg buffet on Friday night after a very long work week. We have been wanting to try it. For a $117 price tag we would assume they would be good. We don't normally do the crab leg buffets because it is a lot of work for so little return. So thought for the price they would be better. Asked for crab leg pliers but was given this plastic prong thing that was useless especially for the smaller pieces. The prime rib was either over cooked or too rare. We were disappointed with all the food we got. Even the chocolate cake was very dry and crumbly. Never again would I waste my money at Ameristar. Please save your money go to Golden Coral it may not be as clean and fancy but you will get the same quality food. If you want crab legs go to King Buffet also same quality for $20.00. Again saving you money. I don't understand how Ameristar can rip off so many customers and feel anything but greed. I wanted to tell the hundred or so people that were waiting in line to run. Please do not eat at...

I'm sorry but there is no taste to your food it all tastes like tyme not flavor at all the prime rib completely dried out the soups were cold and not flavor the crab legs were crab legs being the only reason any stars or given the amount of money spent and the amount people coming in you could definitely do better. The upkeep of the place is GROSS .. all u see is old gross and build up around the doors to the kitchen the "private room" smells like mold. The desserts were very very old tasting and dry cheese cake should have mostness to it . NOW THE STAFF Arif is by far the most you could ever want from service.. saw this older gentleman having a little trouble breaking up the legs and without any questions asked he littley broke up all the legs for the gentleman and this right here is the only reason this made my night . I really want this man to know how much it ment to me to see the kind and compassion he shows is very important in the world .. my hat is off to you GOOD SIR. DEFINITELY NEED TO READVISE...
