The River Buffet

Let's cut to the chase as I cannot finish this review without addressing the biggest issue with The River Buffet, THE LONG WAIT. We were in line for 1 hour and 20 minutes before making it the counter. I would bet, this is the estimated wait time for most people. I only go here for the seafood buffet on Saturday as I don't really care for any of their other food. Crab legs are the only thing I eat at this buffet and they are delicious. I would say the crab legs at River Buffet are even better than at some restaurants. Giving the long wait, I don't understand why they are not doing the number system. Sign in and get notified when the table is ready. It's a missed opportunity for a buffet located in Riverwind Casino. One, customers don't have to stand in line for hours and two, they can go play on the floor. I don't know what management is thinking, making people actually wait in line; this is CRAZY! A helpful tip. They are still offering 15% or $6 off when you have a player's club card which you can sign up while waiting in line.

The ABSOLUTE WORST!!I am a disabled Veteran and I was thrown out with security called,saying I was rude and did not pay!Courtney the manager is the most disrespectful person I have ever encountered.I paid and showed my receipt.Courtney tried to humiliate me and embarrass me.I am NEVER returning to this casino again.

Update from my review from 2 years ago.I have to say things have changed significantly since my last review. I definitely recommend the now "Willows Buffet ". I love the all you can eat crab leg night(Saturday) and that is the only day that I eat at willows. If you are willing to arrive 1-2 hrs. Prior to opening at 5:00 pm. On Saturday, it's definitely worth the price of $40. Service is excellent and the crab is very good, sometimes salty but usually cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend and hit this place up usually every other weekend. See you there.

Deciding to try the buffet on Saturday evening. In summary, it was horribly disappointing and no worth your time. 21/2 hours in line to find a mostly empty buffer. We were seated at 9:00 and they immediately ceased filling the empty buffet although you're told it will be 11:00 when they stop the buffet. This photo of the mens room says it all, the food matched the mens room!

If you're looking for all-you-can-eat crab legs in OKC, look no further! It's only $34 if you have a player's card and $40 if you don't. (You can sign up for one for free if you're 18+) Soft drinks are included. I believe it's only available on Saturday nights starting at 5pm so you might wanna come early and beat the rush.You have to wait in line for the crab legs and they come in buckets! It's 1 bucket per person with about 2 bundles or 10 crab legs. They also ask whether you prefer king crab legs, snow crab legs, or a mix. You can get in line as many times as you'd like. The lady serving the crab legs is so sweet and the line moves fast. The king crab legs were huge, but I was not a fan of the taste. It was more salty and dry than I prefer. The snow crab legs on the other hand were very good. It was easy to crack and tasted fresh. Overall, there was a good consistency with each crab leg. There's also a buffet with some pretty good options to choose from. We had steak, fried oysters, fried calamari and fried fish which were all pretty good. The dessert selection was also pretty nice! I was happy to see creme brûlée! Just watch out for some of the desserts since they can be extremely sweet. The crawfish was horrible and flavorless so I don't recommend trying this.Overall, this all-you-can-eat crab legs experience was definitely worth the price and wait! Where else can I satisfy my crab legs cravings for only $34?! Everyone that works there is also very nice and checks on you frequently! Check. It. Out. P.s I heard there's raw oysters on some Saturdays.

On Friday evening the River Buffet inside The Riverwind Casino, in Norman, has the best "all you can eat" Steak Buffet I have ever come across! There are different cuts of Steak, but the rib eye is by far my favorite! Fresh & Charbroiled right in front of you, {made to order}! Of course they have many, many other tasty entrees besides the awesome steaks! The prices are very reasonable. The doors open at 5pm, the line starts at 4:15. And of course one can go back as many times as desired! The servers are all very friendly & "top drawer!

Awesome food.. i like it a lotLong line to wait to eat .. we hungry.............,

All you can eat steak on Friday nights and never ending crab legs on Saturday. Great servers and staff all around. Witnessed the managers always on the floor and the GM is there taking to tables.

I am so, so disappointed in the steak dinner we had last Friday night, Sept.29th. It was my birthday. Three of us went down, my son, my good friend and myself anticipating a fun filled evening plus a delicious meal! Mind you, we have gone done several times for the steak meal and it has always been delicious! well, not on Sept 29th it was terrible!! The steak was so tough and so full of grizzel (spelling) you couldn't even cut it with a steak knife! Neither my friend nor I could finish our coffee. It is usually very good but I guess you let the strange off the street make the coffee also! What has happened to you folks!? Your Friday night steal has always been so good! Did you butcher an old bull straight from the rodeo and bring in someone off the street that has NEVER cooked before? That was $89.97 down the drain!! The service was good though. Jessie always does a good job.Gloria

The food is horrible! The food is always cold! Unless you have a free buffet coupon, don't waste your money! I can't explain just how bad this food is! I wouldn't even use the free buffet if I was homeless and hungry!
