The Cannery Row Buffet

Terrible, terrible, terrible. We ended up eating here because we were all starving. We would have been better off eating pretty much anywhere else (to include dumpster diving at the nearby Chipolte). I had absolutely nothing there that was good/​properly cooked/​served at an appropriate temperature. The cake was warm, the chicken (of questionable color) was cold and the egg drop soup tasted like they hadn’t properly washed whatever was in the soup tureen before it out all the way. One of the people I was with tried to eat the white rice but gave up because it had been cooked so long it reverted to it’s natural state (rice shouldn’t crunch). The only way I could maybe be convinced to eat here again would be if the casino comped me.

Absolutely disgusting and ridiculously overpriced. Horrible, very small selection. Had a bad stomach ache after eating here. However, the server was very friendly and attentive. Nonetheless, never again.

The buffet needs help!!!
I get it, it’s a buffet and I’m not complaining for 6 bucks BUT let’s go people step it up just a bit.

Awful. Don’t go for breakfast for sure. No meat to put in eggs or salad. I sampled several items & it was blah to gross. Skip it. Save your money & calories.

I have been to a lot of casino buffets.
The Cannery buffet is by far the worst I have ever been to. I have eaten there about 6 times, all comped. Every time the hot food is cold. Nats flying around the salid bar. Last time (about 2 weeks ago), I had the thursday Prime Rib. Besides my normal complaints, the prime rib was RAW in the center. I always get my prime rib center cut, I like it to moo when you start cutting into it. It was so raw, this frigging thing got up and started to run.
Considering it was late and there was no more prime prb being served, and because I had already taken my plate to my table. they would not put it on the gril to cook it a bit more. I had to eat it if i wanted prime rib, so 3 inches by 3 inches from the middle was too raw to eat and looked like it just came from the package and never hit the oven. Luckly I ordered 2 pieces so there was just enough.
the worst part is my 3 year old grand son is charged full adult price for the worst buffet we have ever been to.
Tonight (friday 10 – 16) my daughter is going to take me out for my birthday. Had to wait until her payday. My birthday was last monday, 10 – 12. I am starving and can’t wait for her to get home. If she wants to go to the Cannery, I will ask her to take me to the golden corral or sweet tomatoes. If she still insist i will have to decline and eat a can of generic ravollies. The raw meat did it for me, I am done with the Cannery buffet, I do not want to get food posining, at 55 I would most likely die.

I know i say sometimes you need a buffet… well this is the exception.
Luckily i went for sunday brunch, that gave it the extra star.
Made to order omelets and however else you want the egg cooked saved my experience.
The food was just gross.
Dried up and tasteless even with all the salt.
I stuck to the breakfast items and was okay with that.
No extra charges for coffee which was nice.
Guess you can have champagne at the brunch but i dont touch thay stuff.

I must say I was impressed my food was awesome. I thoroughly Enjoyed the soul food station as they had greens, cat fish, jambalaya, baked beans and the Macaroni and cheese was to die for… the Mexican was a tasty option the Carnitas was very Juicy… The cook at the Italian station will make any pizza u want if u just ask I had one with the works and was very impressed with the outcome… The line was short… Hostess and waiter was great and so was the music… The only reason I didn’t give five stars Is people in my party order additional cost steaks which they didn’t want because they looked dry and inedible… and when they asked for a refund they were given a hard time and not refunded.

Really battling Circus Circus for the WORST buffet in town. Poor selection and food is not at all well prepared. Café is better… but service in Café is horrible. Drive to downtown if you want a GOOD buffet… Main Street Station has a wide selection and is well prepared. Worth the extra 15 minute drive to get there!

This wasn’t the best buffet in the world, but the price is right. It’s somewhere around $ 15 to get in, which is reasonable as hell considering how much I eat. Try the mussels, they’re bomb. My friends and I went on Father’s Day and there was unlimited beer. Not a bad deal!
Like most buffets, you can get fresh roast beef sliced for yourself, so indulge. For breakfast, check out the omelettes; they’re huge. Also mimosas in the morning!

The buffet is decent. It’s nothing spectacular. It’s kind of expensive for what they offer; which isn’t much. The thing that get’s me is they will charge full price for any child over 3 years old. I was just charged $ 10.99 for my 5 yr old daughter that had 1 piece of pizza, 5 chunks of watermelon, and a chocolate milk.

Came here on a whim… Absolutely our first and last visit to this place. First off, their food selection is very minimal and the food is super bland. I feel like we just got ripped off. If I only knew, I wouldn’t pay 44 dollars for two adults and a child. It’s not worth it at all. Horrible horrible food. Not happy at all. We are still nice to leave a tip on the table though.

I’m not saying you need to not have tastebuds to eat here, but… no, yeah I am.
Over salted. Expensive (comparatively). Lackadaisical service. Poor selection. Food was edible, if barely. If it were cheap, well, I would not have bothered writing a review, but if I can save anyone else it will be worth it. The only reason we stopped in was it was one of two places open while we waited for our movie. Never again. I’ll make sure we eat before we get here next time.
Ah well, since it was brunch at least I got Champaign.

Service was excellent. Food was mediocre, as in most buffets in Vegas. I came on a Friday night and all the food had been prepared hours before. The American section was all over salted. The Cannery Buffet on the North West side of town is the bomb. If I had a choice between eating here or Golden Corral, I’d choose Golden Corral. Food is better quality there. I live in Vegas and have eaten at lots of buffets. This one is better than most, but has a very limited selection. I can’t even think of the best food on the menu because even the dessert bar was not that great.

Cheap and for a good reason.
A friend dragged me there a couple of weeks ago for a Sunday branch, 95% of the food was not fit for human consumption, The salad bar was the only salvation, service was below mediocre. I left hungry and wondered why the heck I drove all the way cross town to «dine» at this joint.

This place is just bad!!! I ate there for the second time today and it was even worse than the first. Their only saving grace is the deserts. I will not be back.

I took my mom to the cannery for her birthday she enjoyed the food selection. Dessert was excellent.

We come here about 3 times a month due to the bogo coupon we get in the mail. (Adding up to $ 5 per person). Otherwise we’d only be at the Cannery for the Luxury Theaters only.
The buffet is pretty simple. Pizza, pasta, bbq, Mexican and asian. We come mid day around 12 – 1300, which at this time they switch out the breakfast for lunch. The staff is always friendly to us. No complaints so far.
The food is the same everytime we go. Nothing too distinguishing or exciting to write about. It’s a great place for a cheap eat when you want to fill up. Sign up for their can can card and start receiving the bogo coupon.
Overal great and fast service. Limited but good eats. 3 stars for price, convenience and customer service.

Before our movie, we decided to go to the buffet, because why not? It was only $ 10.99 for dinner (with your player’s card). I really regret this decision.
The buffet is very spacious. Lots of seating, both booths and table tops. Super accommodating for large parties, but doesn’t really matter if the food is bad. The buffet offers different types of food: Asian, Mexican, southern comfort, meat station, Italian, salad bar and desserts. I didn’t really have the best of experience at any station. All the food seemed to be old, sitting under heat lamps all day and overcooked.
Salmon — overcooked and the sauce had a dry film on it
Fried catfish and shrimp — more batter than protein, batter was too hard and protein was overcooked
Carved round beef — all well done, no temperature choices. That meant overcooked tough meat
Fried won ton — hard shell, overcooked
Meatballs — seemed to have been previously frozen
Ham — probably the best thing in that buffet. Soft and nicely cooked. Keep in mind, it was the best thing there, not the best thing ever
Ribs — There were no ribs, just bones. Nothing on the bone.
Overall, I must say, the best thing at that buffet had to have been the white rice on the Asian line. It was nicely prepared. So sad to say it but it was true. I literally ate a plate full of rice and au jus.
Simply put, I will probably never come back to this buffet. Even at a $ 10 price tag, I’d rather go across the street and enjoy Sonic or Panda Express.

This was my fourth time eating at the Cannery buffet over a time span of a year and a half, and I have to say, the quality in food has steadily deteriorated. The only reason I’m giving this buffet two stars instead of one is solely because the service was good. The buffet attendants were friendly and our server kept the table clear and our drinks full.
The food was an entirely different matter. We came in at 4 PM for dinner. All the food looked as if it had been sitting out for hours. The cheese on the pizzas looked discolored and caked over. Pretty much everything looked dried out. Me and the two other people I was with were so dissatisfied that we left the buffet hungry.
I tried food from the Asian station, as well as the American station. I gave up after that and settled on a bowl of ice cream from the dispenser. Final verdict: save your money and go to the buffet at Aliante or Sante Fe Station instead.

To put it simply:
I would rather get eaten by a Great White shark than to ever eat here again.
I would rather poke my eye out with a lit cigarette than to ever eat here again.
Honestly, even if you were starving to death or just got out of a lifetime prison sentence,
I still wouldn’t send you here to eat.
The one star was for the mediocre piece of coconut cream pie that I had for dessert and the ice-​tea which I needed to swash and wash the horrible taste out of my mouth from eating or attempting to eat any food here. It’s like the worse tasting TV Dinner food.
No military discount?
No child discount?
$ 56 for a family of four?
If you want cheap go to In & Out Burger, you’ll get your money’s worth plus it’s delicious!
The service at each station was bad too.
Our waitress however, was very attentive and friendly.
Overall: Depends where your bar is. Foodies stay away.
