The buffet serves until 10:00 pm on weeknights. We walked past the buffet and there was no line so we walked around the casino complex for about an hour. It was just 6:30 pm and seemed too early to eat.
Anyway, we got there after our business appointment. The Connecticut Turnpike always seems to be under construction - and there is never anything to notice that has changed (though I am sure if you live there, you can tell the difference). The weather was nice and the trip to Connecticut as usual was miserable with traffic and construction along the way - there and back. This trip was made for business in the earlier part of the day that had to be done mid-week, so we went on a Wednesday night in April. As I pointed out in the March 2011 article (linked above), there are two different experiences to be had there - the weekend or as they call it, the enhanced, buffet and the weeknight buffet. From my experience with casino buffets it so one of the nicer of those that I have eaten at. This is one of the buffets that comes to my mind when I think, 'what buffet would you really like to go to'. About a year ago I wrote about a return trip to the Festival Buffet at the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.
