Reviews Summary
Pechanga Buffet offers a high-end, resort-style experience with a wide variety of American and international dishes, particularly praised for its seafood like King crab legs and lobster. Service is frequently highlighted as exceptional, with attentive staff going above and beyond. However, some guests have noted inconsistencies in food quality, with occasional bland Asian dishes or issues with the freshness of certain items.
"Great quality dishes and beyond excellent service! Our servers are always running around to supply the table with everything we need. This is a high-end Vegas resort style buffet with tons of selections to choose from. Great for families. There are long lines on special occasions but it is well worth it. When the line is excessively long, they even send a cart of bread sticks and water bottles down the line to make sure everyone is comfortable."

"We went on Sunday morning, got there about 9:10. It opens at 9 on Sundays. No wait, very clean and everything was stocked. We had a Pechaga Game Card, $3.00 off each person for Silver Members. $29.00 regular price brunch, worth every penny. Great variety from King crab legs, carving station, fresh pizza's and decadent desserts. The Asian food was bland and generic but everything else I tried was good. The prime rib was cooked perfect, but could of used seasoning. Be ready to eat when you come here."

"The woman serving the hot crab legs was really sweet and also the reason they got any stars at all! She had a big smile each time we went back and asked for me. Sje was really cool. I don't know her name her picture is posted here. If Pechanga reads the reviews they get, hopefully they will see her and give her a raise and promotion. Having said that let's talk about the food. The Prime Rib was good but the crust was gritty and tasted like it had been dropped in dirt. The inside of the meat had good flavor but the gritty dirt like crust made it inedible. The beef ribds were ok. I didn't see any bbq sauce and when I asked the server for bbq sauce they came back A1. Great for steaks but not what I want on my ribs. The main reason we came was for the crab legs! They were old and tasted like they had been recycled. That was disappointing. I think maybe the reason being is that they use them for as long as they can before throwing them out. The drawn butter also had a strange taste that made me wonder if it was really but or margarine or some sort of weird butter substitute. The desserts looked much bettter than they tasted but that's ok because I'm not much of a sweet eater anyway. The ONLY good server was the crab leg lady. We were ignored complex by the wait staff. Had to put a napkin on the table so we could have something to put the crab shells on. We watched them bring silver buckets to other tables but not ours. Finally when I saw a man putting crab shells in the bucket, I asked if we could have one too. It took them about 15 minutes to bring one and I had to ask twice. I watched them ask other tables if they needed more to drink but no one came to us and asked. To add insult to injury, everytime I tried to get one of the waiters attention, they looked past me and continued walking. In order to get refills on the drinks I had to track down one of the women who walk around wearing black sweaters and ask them. They would ask the waiters and then we would get drink. This happened EVERY TIME! Please also note that they were not crowded when we went. In fact the restaurant was almost empty. The. service was almost nonexistent and the food was just below mediocre. There was nothing abour tje experience that makes me want to return. Haven't decided whether or not I will go back or not. Sometimes people say things are better the 2nd time or maybe they were having an off night but since I don't like to waste good money I may never know."
