Default Best casino buffets in Calgary?

Anyone know which ones are the hidden gems? I've been to the steak and lobster tail buffet on Saturday at the Nakoda casino just outside of Kanaaskis and the Grey Eagle Saturday morning brunch buffet. Anyone had the buffet at the Niagara Fallsview casino before? Anything in Calgary that's comparable?

Sashimi from a buffet seems sort of like a scary thing.

I don't really gamble so i cant recall how we found out about it but every Friday the Deerfoot Inn and Casino has a All-you-can-eat Prime Rib Buffet that is pretty amazing. It also includes a nice salad selection, crab legs, hearty pastas and a large variety of desserts.

I will admit there has been the odd time when the food over all has been just average, especially if it gets really busy which it can but more time then i can remember, Ive left feeling very satisfied and for only $17 bucks, you'll be hard pressed to beat it. Go with a large group of friends and you'll have a blast, i promise.

it is on wednesdays but it has taken 4 steps back from when they first started it.

The sashimi is ok, but it only consists of 3 different types of fish which is pretty standard for all you can eat, but the cooked food now is horrible.

Also they jacked up the price too.

Why are we discriminating against all the other Buffets in town?? What about the ones that aren't at Casinos?

+1 for breakfast at Grey Eagle. The $1.99 (IIRC) breaky during the week is decent too.

You can if you bring your own shoe and chips.

Bump. Thinking of hitting up grey eagle buffet soon.

Debating between the Asian one on Wednesday and the seafood one on Thursday.
Which one is better (ignoring cost, but they're relatively the same price anyway)?

I heard both involve wait times. Is one longer than the other?
Both start at 5pm. If we go at 7pm, would there still be a lineup?
