    The food was good, brisket, ribs and chicken were great. Lots of available sides. Service was good, removed plates and replenished drinks. Brought out a mini cheesecake for a member of the group as we were celebrating a birthday. Went with a group of 8. Bit of sticker shock when blll arrived. They add 18 percent tip which can not be adjusted. Also charge you 2.5% service fee when paying with credit card. Because we are locals they did remove the tourist tax. Make sure you pay cash, and make sure there is less than 4 people in your party that way you determine your tip amount.

    Excellent ribs, brisket and chicken. Good selection of other sides. Best value for money for family. Other restaurants were twice as much and left us unsatisfied. This one left us very full and happy.

    Mary is an excellent server. She noticed that the food we ordered were still not on our table. She hurriedly tried to find out why and then informed that the other server made a mistake and took it to another table. Mary and her supervisor apologized profusely. We didn’t actually mind getting our food late as we were still enjoying the buffet food but they gave us still a good discount. Thank you so much for the excellent service and attention to your customers!

    Great food, nice employees. Our little girl has food allergies and the hostess went and got the chef who came out and went thru all the buffet items letting us know what is safe for her to eat. I was beyond impressed. Ive never had any restaurant do this. I think all places should learn from this place and put the safety of their patrons first. Well done guys. It was our first time here and we will come again.

    Tourist trap that we ended up only because we couldn't find a reservation anywhere else. In retrospect we should have just eaten at the casino. The waitress was nice but the service level overall was slow. The food wasn't great. I've had nicer ambience in a hospital. Don't waste your time and money. Poor value. Will never return.

    Brisket was overcooked and too mushy for my taste, and the pork, ribs, and chicken were dry. Not a great value for $44.

    Matt is a great Staff Member and served us with friendliness and care. Jeff is a superb Chef; the smoked assorted meats he prepares are so tasty. We are local residents and we absolutely love Frontier BBQ.
