Nice place. Had enough great food vendors and drinks for the outdoor show. Plenty of booths from fishing, hunting, tractors and so on.

We went for the Outdoors Expo Show. It is a very nice place to hold such a excellent event. They had many vendors, from fishing, hunting, Youth Archery, and food to choose from and look through. The place was clean and inviting. Hopefully in the near future they will have more vendors attend once again. A long while back, I remember when they held a Archery 3D Competition! It would be great to see that happen again at some point.

Not a good place to hold gun shows to small. Don't have alot of space to walk between tables and look around. With covid going on it wasn't spaced out the right way. Need to give them more space to hold the gun show

We went on Feb 14 2021 for the Ice Sculpture Masters and it was amazing, ourselves and the kids really enjoyed it. Although waiting almost a half hour to get in and then it only takes 10 mins appx to drive through for $25 a car we felt was a little too much. With how short it was, and the AMOUNT of people there, and it being more than a day or two event shouldn't cost us so much, especially being as we are in a pandemic currently and money is very tight. Its supposed to be a fun family event during such a tough time in our world right now, not some way of taking what little money most of us have for a 10 min drive thru.

Amazing time! We went here at Christmas for the Festival of Lights. Absolutely outshone the Niagara Falls Festival of lights. We went last wee for a car show (Cavalcade of Cars) and once again it was fantastic. Great venue for all sorts of functions and events. Not too far from Ontario and less traffic by far.

Okay, so I had low expectations going in. After all, it's a buffet in a casino. I was with family celebrating a birthday and this was their choice. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Oh sure there was lo mien, fried pot stickers and the obligatory peel & eat shrimp. There also was carved Prime Rib (nice and rare, or they would put it on the grill), a tasty carved salmon, asparagus and spare ribs.

The salad area could have been a little tidier but people are generally a mess regardless. The desserts were standard but extra points for the warm apple crisp and blueberry bread pudding. Nice selection of fruit which included some really big blackberrys and raspberry's. The waitress was nice, efficient and had a good demeanor. In conjunction with the casino, it cost $20 bucks but you get $10 bucks back in casino money. A good deal! I probably won't rush back but, if you're a buffet person, this is definitely one of the better ones around.

I've been to a lot of casino buffets in NY, Canada, Nevada, California, and SC. Some were well known and well reviewed on Yelp and other resources. One had a wonderful view of Lake Tahoe and another imported meats and cheeses from Italy. But, most of the buffets shared the same thing - Asian food that could have been served in a HS cafeteria, messy salad bars, desserts that were pasty and stale and too many staff that seemed either hung over or just plain irritable. Oddly enough, the Midway Buffet in the little town of Hamburg manages to avoid these nearly universal buffet problems.

Most of the staff are friendly and efficient -the omelette maker at brunch is actually quite entertaining and the prime rib guy is really nice and amenable to even weird requests. The Asian foods are usually fresh and good, the salad bar is simple but tidy and also fresh and some of the desserts are actually home made - or so it seems. Many of the other foods are also well done and very yummy.

But for a really special treat there is the prime rib! It is amazing! Go for brunch on Sunday, get the prime rib and an omelette and enjoy a good buffet meal for under $20, tax and tip included.

I'm disappointed by the lack of reviews on this place, and also disappointed by the low ratings! This buffet is great for the price you pay! The day is visited they were having the prime rib buffet, and it was amazing. To me, the prime rib was cooked to perfection, but you also have the option for them to cook it on the grill if you like it more well done.

There are plenty of options to make everyone happy. They have a full salad and soup bar with different toppings. All of the containers were filled and I didn't see anything that was empty. As far as main dishes and side dishes, they offered choices including Chinese, Italian, pizza, wings, home style options like mashed potatoes and vegetables and they also had rolls.

There were also many dessert options including ice cream with toppings, apple crisp and bread pudding. My only complaint is that the plates are way too hot to even hold! Quite disappointing especially when I wanted a cold salad. Overall I was impressed and I would eat here again in the future when I come back!

We were so disappointed. At the very beginning there was a SLOW long line. The cashier was so rude and angry. Ok. We sat and ordered our drinks. Time for food. Guess what. There wasn't anything decent left. Ham gone. Chicken gone. Lettuce gone. Salad bar a mess. Egg rolls gone. Ribs gone. There was some fish. Tried it. Tasted like a sewer. There were some meatballs. Hello?

Any meat in there? Lots of butters but no rolls or bread. Mac and cheese was good. Chinese food was an overcooked deep fried mess. Oh yeah. Lasagna roll finally came out, they were gone. Bland! Bland I tells ya. Overworked waitress had a cow when one of our group asked for coffee. Dirty dishes everywhere. I was so thirsty but I couldn't get any water; the waitress was not to be found. Desserts were beautiful and were horrible. Ice cream was good. Well that's it. Complained to casino management. He said he would communicate our concerns to the kitchen. That'll fix it!

If you're hungry, this is the place to go. And if you have $$$ to gamble after. Great variety of food for everyone. Pizza, chicken, pasta, 2 meats of carving. Veggies, chinese, and fish. Nothing fancy but it's help yourself and cone as you go.
