First and foremost, this is the best buffet on the Gulf Coast. It is large, reasonably priced, and tons of seating. Highly efficient. Breakfast is amazing. I believe 12.99 for more food than you can even try, including eggs to order. My favorite items are the breakfast rice, hashbrown hush puppies and the deep fried shrimp and grits balls. Oh, and bacon. You can't forget the bacon! While not our traditional fare, we ate the buffet on Christmas. Lots of options to include turkey, steamship round, gumbo, and even a crawfish bisque. Dessert options are always abundant, but I never save room. Christmas meal was 29.99 per person and worth every penny. Great place to eat with a little something for everybody....everybody over 21 years old. The entire property is 21.

Excellent!! I’d given up on all casino buffets due to them ranging from terrible to edible. Island View is outstanding. The Sesame Chicken on the Asian bar is the best I’ve ever eaten. Anywhere!! Fresh Breast meat chicken bites in their delicious sauce. The egg rolls are excellent as well! And I’m a very very picky Chinese food eater. Also these little breaded shrimp were delicious! The rotisserie chicken breast was a bit dry but very tasty. I was looking forward to the creole red beans but they didn’t have them tonight. So next time! I’m so excited to know Island View has brought back delicious food on a buffet. I’ll be coming back.

THIS is a SPECTACULARLY *TASTY* buffet, and THE BEST buffet I've encountered in a LONG time! I came for LUNCH on a Friday, June 11, 2021. What separates this buffet from all others ARE the TASTY, FLAVORFUL dishes. Red Beans & Rice is GREAT! The BBQ pork RIBS ARE FANTASTIC!! EXCELLENT quality meat, and GREAT BBQ sauce! In the Asian flavors station, the Sesame chicken has a nice tangy sauce, and my girlfriend LOVES the Stir-Fried Beef selection there, right near to the Sesame Chicken. The loaded mashed potatoes casserole is rich & creamy, and the dirty rice has good seasoning, too, but the Red Beans & Rice was my favorite seasoned dish! They also serve roast beef & glazed ham & sausage at lunch. Now, for the desserts, NOBODY -- I mean NOBODY along the MS Gulf coast BEATS their desserts. YOU MUST try the bananas foster, which is sliced bananas that you serve over a pound cake! It is a WARM, RUM GRAVY that the bananas are in and the pound cake you pour over soaks up the RICH, caramelized RUM GRAVY!! SUPER SPECIAL!! Next, ALSO try the BREAD PUDDING, and the WARM WHISKEY GRAVY sauce you pour over the bread pudding. This IS the BEST Bread Pudding & whiskey sauce YOU WILL EVER HAVE!! If I were you, I'd skip the cakes & cookies, (that you can get anywhere else), and go RIGHT to these SPECIAL HEAVENLY one-of-a-kind desserts as the "Bananas Foster" with warm RUM caramel gravy, and the Bread Pudding with warm, rich Whiskey sauce!! If that's still not suiting your fancy, then go on over to the GELATOS!! There is a Tiramisu gelato ice cream and Pistachio gelato ice cream that are special. ("What's Tiramisu?") This is a MILD COFFEE flavored ice cream that has a buttery taste to it. The Pistachio has some hint of ALMOND flavoring. A key hint to soaking up the flavors of the gelatos ice cream are to let them melt a little, and the flavors will be more tasty! I cannot emphasize ENOUGH the HIGH QUALITY of this Island View Casino Buffet!!! It is NOTHING like the bland, tasteless Golden Corral, and NOTHING like the bland, tasteless Cracker Barrel. Comparing this Island View Buffet with others: -- I compared going over to the Infinity buffet at Treasure Bay, which that is TINY with very little selection and old-looking food, and I compared with the Palace Buffet, which had better selection than Infinity Buffet at Treasure Bay. However, the buffet at Palace Casino looked like cafeteria food, with no seasoning to the peas or corn, and no creative dishes, as what Island View Buffet has, here! Here... at this Island View Casino Buffet, TASTE ROCKS!!! And these are MEMORABLE dishes to try! There were a few weaknesses in the Italian section of the buffet: Although, the chicken parmesan looks good, the flavor on that one was kinda weak. However, the Southern Comfort foods are rock solid, and the Asian flavors station are rock-solid as well. And they have the GREATEST dessert selections!! Make CERTAIN & SURE you have the: RIBS, & the seasoned flavorful, Red Beans and Rice, Bananas Foster, and Bread Pudding with whiskey sauce! I DARE say NO ONE beats them in these 4 dishes! I was sure to go out of my way to TELL the chef and restaurant manager what a FINE, GREAT job they are doing with so many tasty dishes. And the weekday lunch buffet price is reasonable, at 12.99, and that INCLUDES a soda, too! Go get to Island View's Buffet, and you'll have NO reason to go to any other buffet! This buffet is BETTER than all the cruise lines buffets! See the attached pictures, I took. One note: You'll have to leave the kids at home, as this is an adults-only buffet. All entering, must be over the age of 21 years old.

Wow!! The best buffet we have ever had and we are full time travelers that go to a lot of buffets. So many things to choose from and tasty too. Grace, our server was fantastic. Everyone was super friendly. Must be that southern charm we have heard so much about. The desserts alone were worth the price of 14 for lunch.

We enjoyed our pizza, seafood, and salad bar. Thank y'all for great service.

We always enjoy eating here especially lunch it's very affordable and has so many options to choice from. The wait staff is so friendly and always providing great customer service.

Great value for your money. Offers a variety of selection such as Asian, Southern and Italian. They also have a carving, dessert, salad and ice cream station. Guests have to be 21 and older. Make sure to have your ID ready to avoid delays. Food quality is good and the line was kept clean. I prefer going on weekdays for lesser crowd. The banana pudding with whiskey sauce was delightful!!!
