Fresh Harvest Buffet

Great food, awesome service and a laid back ambiance for a casino restaurant...we were very satisfied.

After nearly five years the buffet at HardRock is back. What changed?Pricing - for dinner on a Sunday, it's $55, you'll save $5 with a players card. There weren't crab legs, but prime rib and shrimp. Variety- the Asian station was paired down since the shutdown, there were only two items. Otherwise, it's basically the same layout as before, with Italian, American, and middle eastern options.Best items - the prime rib was great for a buffet as were the grilled chicken skewers. Worst items - avoid the sushi, the salad bar was underwhelming, and the seafood station could have had more variety. Gluten free/vegetarian - for gluten free options they have cookies, salad, and grilled items. Vegetarian items were primarily the pizza and salad bar. The service was very strong for a buffet, my server was fast, refilled my drinks, and checked on my table several times. Final impression- It's not worth $50+ for dinner, but some items, especially the prime rib were surprisingly good.

Let me save you some major bucks by telling you that the quality of the food here is abysmal. Peel N eat shrimp = rottenPizza = salt bombKebabs = tastelessBok choy = also tastelessFried chicken = gas station qualitySushi looked awful didn't dare try itBbq ribs = boiled garbageThe only two things that were great were the service and the prime rib. Otherwise a HARD PASS.

Enjoyed a wonderful brunch at Fresh Harvest. Great service, decor, ambience, and food!They had a wide variety of brunch items. Everything was hot and fresh. They had breads, jams, and spreads. They also had various meats, pancakes, French toast, omelettes to order, cheeses, fruits, and desserts. My favorite thing I had was the crepe with strawberries and a chocolate and caramel drizzle. Delicious!

First time here $35per person or if you have the hard rock card (sign up for free) $5 off Every time you go. Lots of different items to choose from and something for everyone. Not just breakfast either they have a bunch of lunch options available as well and can accommodate to almost any diet with the variety. A ton of dessert options to choose from and the crepes are a must! Lots of seafood options as well with shrimp, scallops, sushi, salmon, different fish, oysters, crawfish, etc to choose. Omelette station where they can make it fresh. Small sushi spot with 3 different rolls. Carving station of prime rib. Salads along with shrimp salad, crab salad, potato salad, artichoke and more. Def worth the money to get such a variety! Also comes with bottomless mimosas and champagne that you can get cranberry or orange juice along with tea and soft drinks.

Came to this establishment for my birthday. Soooo you know I like to start with the atmosphere..The parking was at Hard Rock Tampa-not fancy not complicated. I would've preferred to know the proximity of distance from parking to actual restaurant. Walked through casino..smoke, and old school spirit filled the atmosphere.The restaurant was quite the surprise. The table was cute and intimate. It's HUGE!!!! The buffet was clean. Glass and table ware was clean. Restroom clean and maintained.The food..I ate until I was in a bit of a stupor. Not large portions because I wanted to try most of the bars. My favorite was of course the southern breakfast bar. I mean it was for brunch with UNLIMITED MIMOSAS! They had a prime rib that was sooo moist and tender. The Asian bar was delicious. Wonder noodle option. I had steamed oysters for the first time and they were great. All in all it's timed so you can't stay and get hungry again. But what I had for my price paid was quite alright. Pro tip.. take your patience a lot of people ..a lot of personalities.

We came here for my belated birthday brunch. I appreciated the deal with the card $5 off. Make sure you stop by and get one of the players card. You ascend up a staircase in the middle of the casino to get to the restaurant.When we arrived there was no line, but I could see one starting to form when we sat down. It was around 11am so that seems like a popular time. Just to note there is a 2 hour max to eat here, so don't plan on crashing all day. The brunch includes bottomless champagne or mimosas.I opted for the champagne. There are many options here for anyone's appetite. They have asian, crab legs, oysters, crawfish, omlette station, Italian, traditional breakfast food, ice cream, made to order crepes and more. It reminded me of a Vegas buffet. The service was very friendly and they were attentive. I am glad I came here!

This was a great lunch value for $21.95 on a week day. Our team had an early Thanksgiving luncheon here this past Thursday. I was actually quite amazed at the offerings and quality off the food. My favorites would have to be the American Bounty, Raw Bar, and Cucina Italiana sections of the buffet. They were carving up turkey that day, and had some wonderful fried chicken. The antipasto salads were so very good. They had little mini pizzas on top of big slices of zucchini or squash. Nice if you're on a keto diet. They had green mussels, oysters, shrimp, and crawfish at the raw bar. I got the shrimp salad instead of the peel and eat shrimp. I didn't want to deal with peeling them. They had grilled steak near the Mongolian BBQ section, and these wonderful fresh rolls. The deserts were just as good. I couldn't resist the sweet potato pie. It didn't disappoint me at all. There was so much of a variety that I think anyone would be pleased at lunch time.The parking situation wasn't too bad. I think we parked in the wrong area because we had to walk through the casino. There were people smoking but the smell wasn't as bad as my last visit. Maybe the renovations did help a little with ventilation. The line wasn't too long at around 11:00 am. The service was fantastic. Our glasses of ice tea were always full. I saw a sign for the Champagne Brunch on Sunday. I'd like to try that one day soon. It was surprisingly good. I think we're going to make this a yearly tradition. Maybe we'll do it again in December.

This review is from Tuesday, July 18th at lunch. We used our Player's Club cards and received $5 off (If you don't have one, register for one at the Player's Club desk downstairs). Our server greeted us, offered us drinks (included) and checked on us throughout our meal. He was fantastic. I only wish I remembered his name to give him credit. We tried a variety of different foods and like other buffets, you will likely prefer some items over others. We enjoyed the Asian stations, the grilled salmon, the oysters and the ice cream... YUM! They have Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia and S'mores, which deserves a five star review of their own!

Really really good quality food here! So many amazing choices! I took my daughter here for her birthday brunch! And all I can say is take a pit stop here pleaseee! The steak, lamb chops, asparagus, crawfish, everything I tried was amazing! Plus my unlimited mimosas lol!!
