    This place has a dinner buffet, Sunday Brunch buffet and a daily soup/salad buffet and you can also order off their wide-ranging menu.  

    Their menu covers just about anything anyone could possibly have a yen for.  They've got everything from pizzas, pastas, rotisserie chicken, ribs, sandwiches, burgers, salads, heavier meals and a whole page just dedicated to Poutine.  They definitely get five stars for choice.

    I was there for lunch and despite the endless choices. I chose a plain old club sandwich.  I split it with my mother and I'm glad we did because it arrived on a 14 inch platter and needless to say, it was giganormous!  It came with coleslaw, a pickle and fries.  The club sandwich was good except the tomatoes weren't fresh.   They were mushy.  Other than that everything was great and their fries were very good.  They'd be even better if they'd have peeled them.  Yeah I know it's the trendy thing not to peel them these days but they taste better peeled.  So there!

    My brother ordered the fish and chips that also arrived on a huge platter.   He really enjoyed it but I personally prefer the more traditional batter.  See pic.

    My brother has been for their dinner buffet and says it's excellent.  Roast beef, roast pork, salmon etc.

    Last but not least, their prices are very reasonable and we had top-notch service.

    Was at the Hilton for a conference, so stopped by the Banco Bistro for dinner.  Price-wise, it is much more affordable than the other restaurant in the casino.  I ordered the mussels, and upgraded my side of fries to a poutine.  The poutine was nothing to write home about, but the mussels - wow! I was not expecting a big bucket full of them, and the cheesy sauce was a delicious match.  I was stuffed to the gills after polishing off the poutine.  Pretty good selection from the menu - sandwiches, pizza, pasta, seafood, steak, etc.  No complaints around the table with the 6 of us.  Fast, friendly service.

    We arrived as a group of five people on a Thursday in June at about 430pm. The place was practically empty. We were greeted by unfriendly, unhelpful staff who explicitly told us we could only sit if we were going to order food. We arrived to order some drinks while sitting at the bar, and at only 430pm we were not quite hungry for dinner. (Incidentally, we had not started drinking beforehand, so it was not as if the staff were rude because we were intoxicated). I'm sure an hour or two later, we would have had an appetite to order food, but not at 430pm. The unfriendly staff asked us to leave if we would not immediately order food. They said it was their policy. I asked to see the policy, and was shown no such policy.

    Moral of the story. Be nice and accommodating to customers, and they will probably order multiple rounds of Drinks, as well as food, and will tip well, but we were not given the chance, so we had to leave. Ironically, we went to the bar downstairs in this same casino property, were allowed to order drinks without food, and were even offered free snack mix with our drinks.

    I always come here for holidays with my family and we get the buffet, it's one of our favourite places to go together. Unfortunately after our trip yesterday for Easter I don't think so

    I'm a vegetarian which means there aren't many options, but I'm happy with the ones they do have, it's no big deal. I asked one of the waiters if the potato salad had any meat in it and he said no, for sure not because they would have labeled it if there was meat. Guess what happened when I took a bite? Big piece of bacon in my mouth. I was disgusted, mortified and so upset

    When I brought it up to my waiter he just said oh sorry and walked away. What if I had an allergy? I would have been in huge trouble. Don't answer my questions if you don't know the answer for sure, just ask someone else. I'm so upset.

    Literally made an account just for this
