Great Karoo Marketplace

DELICIOUS. I went there and pigged out. Food is amazing and it is all you can eat. If your in Kalahari I highly recommend!

Been to this buffet twice, once for dinner, a second for breakfast. Prices were reasonable for a buffer. Dinner price is roughly $23 and breakfast is 17 or 18. The dinner buffet was amazing but that was because of the AYCE prime rib that was available at the time, I kept coming back for more and developed a rapport with the gentlemen at the carving station, he definitely hooked me up with some nice medium rare pieces. The breakfast I would say was okay. We decided to go right before we checked out of Kalahari. There was a wait but they were able to process us through pretty quickly. Our server was right to the point, but got the job done. Honestly there wasn't anything amazing about the buffet itself. They had an omelet station and different types of eggs benedict and other staples of a breakfast buffet. The only gripe I had was that we wanted to go to the buffet on Friday night and they were closed. I'm not sure exactly why they'd be closed on a Friday night. Was it because they wanted to funnel traffic to the other restaurants? Didn't see any reason for that. All in all, a good experience, good food, would go again.

I was prepared to be disappointed but I was very pleased with the breakfast buffet at Great Karoo. Good value, spotless dining area, good selection. Frankly, the only restaurant at Kalahari that is not a ripoff. If the coffee was one notch better, this would be a fiver. The coffee is gas station quality - barely drinkable with enough sugar. My only criticism of an otherwise fine brunch.

If you cannot find anything tasty to eat over dinner, I can have your head examined real good. The kids and I were staying for a four day mini-vacation and are enjoying the resort.My 11 year-old daughter loves steak. The steakhouse wanted a ton of money for one steak. Our first night was all-you-care-to-eat steak (they custom grill the steak for you) and kids are $9.99. Guess where we went? (She WOLFED DOWN five steaks)!My buffet was $24.95 which is average for Ann Arbor and the Indian casino in Battle Creek.I enjoyed two heaping plates of tasty food: prime rib (excellent), and the rest veggies and misc. stuff. All delicious. The creamy mac 'n cheese is particularly recommended. I found the creamed spinach a little bland. The fresh cut fruit was nicely done and presented. The peel-and-eat shrimp had a perfect mix of Old Bay seafood seasoning. That was good eats!I am diabetic so I cannot speak to the fabulous looking desserts but my kids wolfed down TWO PLATES of sweets. Damn! Probably earned me the title of "lousiest father of the year"! (Their mother is an anti-sugar Nazi)...and unsalted saltine crackers are big treats. Damn..[That is a HATER move...SMH] I just hope my kids don't grow up to be blood-thirsty killers or something...My only very small criticism is why roll up butter knives in the set-up roll when it's "steak" night? There were no dinner rolls nor butter for the dull butter knife. I had to practically tackle my server for a real steak knife! Everything in the resort is premium-priced (even a bowl of instant mac 'n cheese is $3.99 in the nearby gift store) so just embrace that the Great Recession is over.EAT and spend money! Enjoy!

Kinda pricey, but that should be expected from a resort buffet. Was happy they had prime rib as a breakfast selection & the smoothies were decent as they weren't overly sweet. Still would recommend if you're staying at Kalahari for at least one morning if staying multiple days.

Worst buffet I have ever been to. I'll start off by saying all food was cold, only ham and chicken nuggets for meat selections, the desserts tasted like pure chemicals like bug spray! My husband and I paid $50 plus tip for inedible food and a wobbly 8 top table. The only good thing in the whole place was the Coke but then again you can barely mess up a coke. Waiter seemed unenthusiastic and said that we should have went elsewhere. Assumed we were with a convention of non tippers and treated us as such. We went based of reviews and now highly regret our decision. Overpriced, disgusting, and in need of a overhaul.

Gahh, I am in love and I don't care who knows it!!! Man is this a good buffet! We drove all the way from Cedar Point to eat here. Here is the scoop, we were at Cedar Point, my old work place so I felt sick the whole time anyways, but anyhoo we were going to eat at the Midway Market but I decided to try something different and go the whole day in the park then go here. Important point to make though is that the restaurant is open based on occupancy at the hotel. So we had to call and the phone line is super confusing so have patients and it is option three that will get you to an operator who will give you answers. The entrance to the resort is right by the restaurant as long as you enter across the bridge or at the valet. You do not have to be a guest at the hotel as we were not. You have to walk though a gift shop but it is simple to find. The front cashier was super friendly and after paying $21 you get seated. The restaurant was relatively empty which is a surprise. The food is exceptional, very very good. I mean that, it was not the typical mass produced slop but each were in a skillet or pan; making me think that they were each cooked with care and individuality. The pot roast was to die for, tasted like carnitas almost but had a rich smokey flavor and fell off the spoon. It marked the fat that is often seen so I knew it was a good cut that was used. Mashed potatoes with gravy, these were divine, not buttery tasting but instead a rich cream taste that complimented it well with the beef gravy. Bang Bang pork tenderloin was sweet but whole tasting Broccoli was offered at the salad bar with dip, steamed, and steamed with cheese.Outstanding meatloaf that was a solid consistency and not airy where it is hallowed in the middle and surrounding and falls apart, served in blocks that are just the right size potionrice pilaf was very tasty as well, with a lightly butter taste. Mac and Cheese, it made my heart stop it was so good, very creamy and a lot of butter. Penne with creamy red, almost vodka like sauce, chicken parmesian, tasted like mama usta make. chicken Alfredo noodles. very goodbreadsticks, delicious and soft. Nacho bar, a must with tortilla chips, ground seasoned beef, sour cream, lettuce, etc. Corn dogsTatter totschicken bitescorn whole salad area with many options including full tasting dressings Desserts were above par, most amazing single serving cups of different concoctions such as oreo dessert, turtle dessert, cheese cake, cookies and brownies that are bakery quality. Drinks are included which also offer milk and coffee, I got both. You honestly cannot miss an opportunity to come here.

Great service, wide variety, nice variety, and very attentive servers. The place to go when you have kids you can't go wrong with their breakfast selections and the prices are reasonable.

We had the breakfast buffet at this restaurant. The decor was lovely, staff was very friendly and courteous, but most importantly the food was PHENOMENAL! We live about 45 minutes away and my husband actually said he would be interested in driving up just to go to the breakfast buffet every so often.

Such an amazing place with a variety of foods. A bit overpriced but that's what you expect in an establishment like that.
