It's a buffet. It's better than I expected. I'm not a huge buffet fan but I might go back. If your hungry and like buffets you will probably love it. Lots to chose from and the desert bar is awesome.

Derik is the best hostess! She always remembers my name, and does so with the most sincere smile.
The recent reboot of the decor; well, let's just say that I hope they didn't spend more than a couple of bucks per Sq ft. It's drab, dreary, and just not presenting an atmosphere of peaceful dining. The flow of the colors and patterns mentally clutter the mind.
The quality of the menu, in most regards, has also diminished. Not worthy of the elevated prices it still serves. At least fix the edible fare, Riverside Casino. You know you make a fortune off of gamblers, including me, every time they walk thru your doors.

Good as usual. Only a couple of minor things to fix. One nothing can be done about. Have the daily special separate from other stuff. Will be back lots more!

Inside Rhythm City Casino and Resort, Robert's Buffet is one of the restaurant on the campus, serving all you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was there for the dinner.
Basically, it is a nice clean and well appointed space with very good to excellent service but only mediocre food and food service, except for desserts.
During the International Day emphasis, there were only a few cliche international dishes (Chinese, Mexican, Italian) supplemented by all American favorites of mediocre quality. Good vegetarian or seafood dishes were sadly lacking. Salad bar was subpar.
At most of the serving stations when I asked about the dish, they said it was very good. When I asked if they had tried it, they told me no. So no personal experience with the dishes, just a corporate expectation to extol the virtues of their offering. Refills at the service stations were slow and seldom.
The dessert station, on the other hand was full of great dishes with a few mediocre exceptions. The gelato display was very nice with great service but the gelato itself had only distant resemblance to its worthy origin.
Basically you don't have much of a choice at the resort. Either, it is this buffet or the another pub food outlet. If you want to splurge, there's Ruth's steak house on sixth floor. Robert's is likely the result of being the lowest common denominator and therefore, predictably mediocre.
One visit there could be enjoyable, it is not repeat worthy, however.

Very bad first time experience! Waitstaff was the only good thing going for this place. Food was horrible (except for desserts). Food was left on buffet longer than it should be and was dry, flavorless and unappealing. NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND MY SISTER GOT SICK 3 HOURS AFTER EATING WITH FOOD POISONING. SHE WAS UP ALL NIGHT PUKING AND IN PAIN. NEVER AGAIN!

I ate at the evening buffet the Monday after Easter. I am well aware of the limitations of the buffet during this long remodeling period, but having said that, even my low expectations were exceeded. The meal offerings were incredibly poor quality and certainly not worth the slightly reduced cost. Everything was just starch, starch, starch. I watched as the restless attendant continuously squirted a yellow colored artificial butter into the mashed potatoes and then stirred it in. Why make mashed potatoes even more unhealthy? Most people would not realize how much additional transfat had been stirred into those potatoes. Then he would pour more gelatinous gravy over the turkey chunks when he wasn't messing with the potatoes. Corn was provided as the vegetable. - more starch! My plate looked like a prison dinner. I gave up and went to get a piece of cake, hoping to raise my spirits. I get back and touched my fork to it, and it bounced right back! The cake was so dry it was hard and brittle! It had to have been cut for Easter dinner the previous day and just kept out, it was that dry! My companion gave her plate back to the server, saying she could not eat it. I thought you have chefs to supervise the buffet - I think a good home cook could do a much better job. I hate to pile on, but the meal was just plain insulting it was so bad! I would have been embarrassed to offer that to paying customers if I were the chef/manager.
One other aside. Jumer's Casino did a remodel of their casino buffet in about 2-3 days and accomplished the same things - new vinyl, new carpet - in that time frame. So far I am completely underwhelmed at the look of the remodeled buffet after all this very lengthy remodeling. Everything is just gray and more gray! I will reserve judgment until it is all done but what I can see so far it may not be worth the time and expense. I would trade it all for looser machines and better food!

We ate on a Tuesday night and it was horrible. We even complained and management made no effort to make it right. The prime rib was well done, the meat cutter/server could not even cut it. He was cutting it the wrong direction also. Green beans were cold. The waitress bless her heart was great.
That being said we tried thrir breakfast buffer for 4.99 and it was excellent!!
So 0 stars for dinner...5 stars breakfast.
