text: So I went here TWICE on Valentine's weekend (no, not on the 14th) with the lady friend. We went around 8 one night and then the next afternoon for the 2 for 1 from 2-6. We went there not because I'm cheap - it was practical considering both of our money limitations. And she's not cheap either.\n\nFrom my experience - for under 20 bucks it ain't bad at all (I would give it 4 stars, but I'm giving it 5 due to the jerks who gave it 1 or 2 stars for reasons mentioned below). Reading other people's reviews for this buffet and others I think that a lot of people go in with the wrong expectations/perspective:\n\nIt's a friggin' buffet for pete's sake! You're supposed to eat as much as your stomach can handle so that you don't have to go to 3 restaurants that day! If you expect the food to be even close to gourmet you shouldn't be at a buffet in the 1st place. Or you should be at one of those $50 a pop ones. Kapeesh? Buffets are meant to let you get your ultimate bang for your buck - which is most easily accomplished with going back for refills numerous times. Even though the hotel - casino's make a lot of money, they don't want to lose too much on the buffet. Basic economics people (and I didn't even take any econ classes)!\n\nYeah, a lot of their food was on the greasy side - but then again, I was in the mood for some greasy food and so was she. Plus, it's a buffet - making greasy food helps them keep prices down. The buffet had enough variety (the fish was a nice surprise)and some healthier options. We stayed for a good 2 hours (total) each time so our tummies could get a rest before getting some dessert.\n\nThe staff was nice - actually, I loved the whole medieval theme at the Excalibur, made me feel like a kid playfully fighting (on guard!). I thought the whole thing where the staff person waiting at your table waved the flag so you could find your table was awesome - it's little unique things like that that made the experience even better.\n\nOh - and when we had to wait over an hour for the 2 for 1, I ain't complaining the slightest bit. It's OUR own fault that we didn't get there earlier. Come on, do you expect there to be no line at a buffet when it's 2 for 1? If you expect that, I suggest you repeat kindergarten........ seriously. Plus, it was kinda fun being near some kids playing around in line.
