So how BAD was The Buffet at Excalibur? This week's episode seeks to answer that question as for many, the Excalibur Buffet has a reputation, and it's not always a good one. So when booking our stay at Excalibur Las Vegas we had to make a priority to try this buffet, just to know if this actually is one of the worst buffets on the Las Vegas Strip.
Expect our honest review of the Excalibur buffet, our candid reactions to the offerings, and our impressions of items featured on the numerous stations at Excalibur's brunch buffet offerings.
For our first plate we visit the asian and latin stations for some buffet sushi rolls, machaca con huevos, chorizo and potatoes, and some Beef Birria.
Our second plate is an All American Breakfast with staples such as bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, and a chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy.
We return to the serving stations for some delicious and mouthwatering carved meats off the carving station, making sure to try a bit of everything that station offered.
And before dessert James samples the cold seafood options and tries some Potato Salad off the salad bar.
At this point of the meal, Paul taps out and makes James try as many desserts as he can. Were any of them winners? Well we obviously cannot give spoilers.
The Excalibur Hotel & Casino on the south portion of the Las Vegas Strip offers numerous budget friendly options and places for budget friendly dining in Las Vegas. Whether it's the numerous quick service options at their food court, offering cheap eats in Las Vegas, or family style dining at restaurants like Buca di Beppo, the Buffet at Excalibur is another option for those on a budget as pricing is less than $40.00+ tax per person, and there are often 2 for 1 discounts via MyVegas rewards. The buffet also offers an all you can drink package for $16.99+ tax that offers beer, mimosas, and basic cocktails.
With that being said, is the quality of this Las Vegas buffet up to the standards that we as critical eaters expect? You will have to watch this one and find out as James and Paul Try it All at the Excalibur Buffet.
So if you are looking for information on the best buffets in Las Vegas, just curious and asking yourself "Is the Excalibur Buffet worth the price?", or just debating if you're better off elsewhere, looking for a cheap breakfast, we have you covered in this Excalibur buffet review.

Thank you for sharing! We haven't tried this buffet, and honestly, wouldn't have even though about it based on other reviews. We may give it a go now if we find ourselves on that end of town. We, too, were very disappointed in the MGM Grand buffet - definitely not worth the money!

I would say to not go out of your way, but if you’re in the mood for a brunch buffet that won’t completely break the bank, it’s at least better than MGM Grand. Granted… not by much, but still a step up. -James

I think with the price of a basic restaurant breakfast in Las Vegas, even at a Denny's or fast food joint these buffets (Luxor, MGM, Excalibur) can work if you eat smart. Especially since they also include your coffee, milk, juice etc. The average Denny's breakfast is approx. 16.00, each beverage about 4.00 each and you just get the one plate of food. At a buffet you get variety.

Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️ You are completely right. Even basic breakfasts elsewhere can run up a tab but if you hit this buffet on a MyVegas 2 for 1 deal or even on a lower priced weekday, it could be a great deal if smart about the items selected. While we didn’t make use of the omelette station in this video, that’s a big value right there and custom omelettes are often a decent value and quality. I will say this, quality as evidenced in the video can leave a bit to be desired but not all items were bad, nor were all items mind blowing. I felt a lot of them were “just OK” which isn’t always a bad thing. As James stated in the video, for the price point and what it is, neither of us felt “ripped off” for what we paid. We would totally come back for this buffet if we are staying at Excalibur and I still stand by saying this was better than the MGM Grand buffet. We will be staying at Luxor in July, so we have plans to review that one as well in the future. -Paul

😊😊😊I agree the Excalibur is better than the MGM and also better than the Luxor buffet. If you have a car take a short drive to the Southpoint buffet further down the south strip. Better quality and about $10.00 cheaper. In fact their nitely prime rib buffet is still cheaper than the Excalibur

I have been wanting to checkout Southpoint for a bit now. Sadly on our next few trips in July and September our shooting schedule is looking rather packed, but I’m hoping to hit them up before this year is over. As far as Luxor goes… wish us luck! We’ll be hitting their buffet up in late July. Hopefully it’s not as disappointing as MGM Grand’s was. -James

It was definitely a standard buffet when we went too. Also very Shoney’s-esque. Just missing the French toast sticks. What day of the week did you go and roughly what time? We definitely went right when they opened and so there was no sushi and minimal options unfortunately. With your knowledge and expertise, is there a more fine dining buffet experience elsewhere? I feel like a buffet will always be limited in that capacity.

We went on a Sunday morning around 9:00am but it was over Memorial Day weekend so we paid the highest cost for this buffet ($39.99), so all opinions in the video are being based off the max price. If you are looking for a more higher end buffet. Both Caesars Palace and Wynn have more premium selections on their buffets and a premium price point (around $60 to $80). Some people prefer Wynn over Caesars but I cannot speak for the brunch comparison yet because we have only done Caesars Palace so far for brunch, but as far as dinner buffets which we have done both, I feel like Wynn “plays it safe” by not really seasoning their food - The options they offer are really impressive though but I felt like the food needs a bit more heat/seasoning, whereas Caesars Palace has a bit more flavor in their dinner options IMO (other people may have different opinions) But between those two, those are the two more premium buffet options on the strip. -Paul

Admittedly we did skip a lot of the self serve beverages because we bought the all you can drink package and had about 3 to 4 mimosas over the course of our meal. But they do include a station for self serve beverages which is a lot more convenient IMO than waiting for a server. There was a salad station to build a salad as well as some fruit and yogurt near the station that had oats and other breakfast cereals, so there were some lighter options as well. Additionally on the dessert section while the desserts in general weren’t of the highest quality, there were a few options for gluten free or sugar free desserts and they were clearly marked in their own section. Thanks for watching and we hope that answered your question ❤️ -Paul

We went around 10:00am to 11:00am as this was the first thing we did upon dropping off our bags after flying in. I can definitely say that you will beat any rush the earlier you go (for anything in Vegas) - You gotta basically beat all the people who sleep in. But the Excalibur is a family friendly property (for the most part), so you sadly won’t be able to escape children, but the earlier you go, the less of a crowd you should encounter. -Paul

Thanks for watching ❤️ Well we survived the Flamingo 🦩 and figured that it couldn’t get any worse than that, so if MGM was going to give us a 2 night comp offer for our play on the last trip, then we just had to stay and find out for ourselves if it’s as bad as we have heard. Plus it gave us the opportunity to make some fun Excalibur content out of it. So be on the lookout for some more Excalibur content on the channel soon ;) -Paul

Don't mind this buffet. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here - just think it's a little overpriced if you aren't using a MyVegas 2 for 1. If you are staying at the south end of The Strip and want something realatively cheap - it's OK.

Food should always have seasoning. We are used to heavily seasoned food so when we try buffets it’s sometimes a challenge to separate ourselves from what we are used to versus a large dish that is made to appeal to a wider audience (which can sometimes sadly mean less seasoning). There were definitely hits and misses at this one, and some offerings were a miss while other items actually surprised us. For what it is at its price point. It serves the need for a basic buffet. And it’s by far much better than MGM Grand where the theme was “It’s Dry” - I would recommend this over MGM Grand’s buffet any day. But… for what it was, I would come back if I’m staying at Excalibur and just wanting the convenience of gorging on calories, but it’s nowhere near Bacchanal, Wynn, or Palms. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed. -Paul
