Reviews for The Gathering Place in Canyonville, OR

It?s a 1 to 2 hour wait if you go in a Friday or weekend night. The clams were good but like only 25% of them had actual meat... inside, the prime rib was literally the best meat ???? I have ever tasted in my entire life. The player?s card is free whichmakes it $22.00 instead of $30.00 so it at least makes you feel like you are getting a good deal. The vanilla frozen yogurttasted weird, it was almost like spoiled milk, but the mint flavor was wonderful, then the soft serve was pretty dang good,fajita is crazy delicious and they have taco stuff and crazy good waffle fries. Veggie rice was kind of gross but the Spanishrice was to die for. There is definitely tasty food if you aren?t into the fancy stuff, so overall I was really happy. I have todrive 45 miles to get there but there aren?t anymore quality buffets closer to me, so it?s worth it if you were into hometownbuffet in the past ???? Read more

We went to the buffet last night 2-19-2020. The food was better than it had been the last few weeks. The only thing I can say is... we would like to see ham on the line more often. We miss it. Some of the side dishes are a little bland but I guess that's whatsalt and pepper is for. Please keep up the good work,and add ham during the week more often. Thank you. D. R. Wilcox. Read more

Our server, Shaune, was fantastic. Even though she was clearly pregnant and probably uncomfortable because of it, she and her... service we're exceptional. That being said.....on to the food. The crab, though obviously previously frozen, was hot or coldand the prime rib was as always great. The prime rib is served very rare however you can ask your server to take it and have toit put on the broiler and cook it longer without any fuss. That is what I and my girl do and it comes back hot with sear marksand is delicious. There is a huge variety of foods to choose from. I am especially fond of the muscles and butter clams andclam chowder. Their desert and salad bars are top notch as well although I personally have never had a salad there. I haveplenty of their deserts and they all were great. Bottom line for $22 you simply cannot beat the value, food and all around goodservice. I recommend the all you can eat Dungeness crab and Prime Rib buffet 100% . Read more

I was disappointed in the representation of seafood buffet. When there was little seafood offered in fact only three dishes... shrimp skewers which was my favorite the beer batter cod also quite tasty and the salmon stakes in a holland sauce. Other thanthat the variety offered was good and the flavor was good. The price was high for what was offered in my opinion but that's justone opinion. Read more

This place used to be my go-to for seafood. They?ve got signs all up and down I-5 advertising ?Seafood Buffet Friday & Saturday?... but when I arrived today (Saturday) it?s ?Surf and Turf? which is apparently some steamed clams and breaded fish with somepoorly cooked prime rib... Definitely not worth the price they charge; it used to be well worth the price but notanymore.. They keep spending money on upgrading the place to look nice, but it looked fine before the most recent remodel. Theymade the buffet much smaller and also lost a lot of quality with the food. Hopefully whoever manages this place comes to theirsenses about this place being pretty vs having actually good food. Read more

This was a great place to eat before new management came in and ruined it. It went from a somewhat classy dining experience to... just an over priced disgusting buffet. The fried chicken turned into a mushy paste and could be ?chewed? without teeth, thechicken parm was just chicken (not even fried) with cheep marinara on top with cheese. Even the salad tasted rancid. Now thelast thing that made it somewhat nice, waitresses getting drinks for you, has been replace with a self serve station. If the newmanagement is reading this please know that you ruined a great thing. Read more

We walked in a was greeted by a young lady who took our names for buffet. What I don't understand with what she says is pretty... simple she puts your name down but if you get out of line instead of paying now when your table is ready you have to get back inthe long line to pay before you can eat. It doesnt make since why they make you get back in the long line if you already were ina long line to put in your name. HUH????? So, we will pay first and not have to get back in line a second time. Why do they dothis let me assume it's so the casino makes sure you come back and dont change your mind. Not sure I really understand the pointof it but okay. .. who knows as slow as the two ladies are we may not have to leave by the time we get upfront. Tonight is surfand turf and $23.99 without a card or senior discounts. Oh and if you look at the image that says surf and turf it didnt havemost of that stuff it was so not surf and turf So, I'll let you know how it goes with lots of pics and comments. Surf and Turfis clams, fried chicken, Asian section, prime rib, fried shrimp, mashed potatoes and more. Oh before I forget you now have toget your drinks too, which means it's easier to tip. I'm not sure how this staff can't stay caught up with the customers if alltheir doing is clearing tables. Clear as you walk by a table and it makes it so much easier when the client leaves. Waitingtables 101! Hmmmm I get it it's a buffet and the chicken was dry so have a soda pop ready to wash it down. The salmon was likejerky not my thing. The clams unfortunately out of 10 only 3 had meat, the shrimp was okay if you like breading, and the primerib was killed and chewwwwYy! Not the best experience and it seems to be getting worse everytime we come and for that price comeon... they need to go check buffets in Las Vegas that charge these prices. Read more

When we first started going to the buffet at the Casino it was good. I don?t know what has happened but now it?s horrible. The... selection is dismal, the seafood night is a waste of money and time. I can get past not having the best food, it is a buffet,but the service is atrocious! Everyone looks pissed and unhappy, like it?s an inconvenience that you are there. And the mangeris a waste of space, he doesn?t know how to lead a team. He stood there and watch us accidentally spill a drink and never sentanyone to clean it up or help us. Our server was of no help either. Save yourself time and money. The Cow Creek restaurant andKBar are much better. Read more
