Hey guys , it's Ruby .
And today we are doing another buffet review and this time we're doing dinner today , we are going to circus circus for their buffet .
Now they do have a brunch buffet and a dinner buffet .
Dinner starts at 4 30 goes till nine .
And that's when we're heading to now .
So let's go try after years of dealing with people is that you can turn your back on a person but never turn your back on a drug , especially when it's waving a razor sharp hunting knife .
Ok ?
We made it to circus circus buffet for dinner .
It's $30 a person .
It just recently reopened and dinner is really only served on weekends currently from 4 30 to 9 .
So let's go see what the selection is .
I have no idea what they are here .
Who are ?
Yeah .
Where do they come from ?
They look like characters of used car dealers in Dallas the Sweet Jesus at 4 30 on .
I'm still humping the shit .
And me it's pretty good .
No corn dog action .
And it looks like they've got , oh , like chicken and waffles here .
You wanna get a waffle too ?
Oh , ok .
Hello ?
Sir ?
Cool .
It's a good start .
Took a look around the buffet and we decided to start in like the American section .
So let me show you what we got .
Ok .
Mac and cheese , corn , dog , chicken and waffles and some mixed veggies .
Ok , we're gonna get started .
Let's start fresh .
Let's just try some veggies .
I don't really have any seasoning on them , so they just taste like vegetables , um , kind of greasy , but there's like no flavor .
So I don't know what's up that it kind of feels like .
Um , there's like steam veggies in the bag that your mom makes .
Let's try the mac and cheese .
Let's see .
It looks kind of good .
Let's do some .
It's got good flavor .
I can taste the cheese .
There's a little bit of like crispy cheese up on the top .
That's good .
I mean , nothing amazing .
That's good .
Go ahead .
Let's try this chicken and waffle .
Mr Ruby was kind of excited to see this on the buffet .
I'm just gonna take a little bit of chicken and a little bit of waffle and give him a try if I can cut that chicken .
Ok .
All right .
I've got a piece of chicken piece of waffle .
Let's give this a shot .
Ok .
Uh , chicken and waffles is good .
It's got a good flavor .
The waffle is like really tasty .
You can taste the vanilla and the waffle and then like the batter and it's crispy chicken tastes well prepared .
That's pretty decent .
No complaints .
Let's try the corn dog .
Hm .
Not very good .
10 inches like it's been sitting a really long time like the batter is like separated from the hot dog .
Um , not a fan .
Um It was ok .
This plate was ok like the chicken and waffle was pretty good .
The mac and cheese is pretty good .
Uh definitely skipped the corn dog .
Not very good .
Uh yeah , let's try something else .
All right , let's get some corn bread .
Oh , baked beans so good .
Yeah .
Gone .
Alright , let's get some chicken looks good .
And then this is beef stew with rice pelo .
I want to get this time .
Mash potatoes .
They got a tricky gravy brown looks too tricky .
Oop .
That's messy .
There's toppings too .
I'll have to pick some toppings but I'm interested in the right here .
These look good and then next to it they've got the Asian section .
This looks good .
Mean and the negro here .
So it's this .
All right .
Ok .
On to the next section .
I'm hoping this one's better than the last one .
The last one is just OK .
This is like southern food come from foods .
Let me show you what we got .
Ok .
Roast chicken beef stew with rice , pela , mashed potatoes with turkey gravy , cornbread and some baked beans .
All right , let's get started .
I kind of wanna try this beef stew .
This looks pretty good .
On top of a rice pilaf .
Hm .
That's good .
I like the flavor of the meat .
The rice is good .
There's like some onions in there .
The meat is super tender and falling apart .
The potatoes are soft but they're not mushy .
That's decent .
I like that .
But that's pretty good .
These mashed potatoes also look really good .
Let's try these with some gravy .
They have the skins and I really like when they leave the skins in mashed potatoes .
Mhm .
Hm .
Tastes kind of how my grandma makes them .
She leaves the skin on .
It tastes really , really buttery .
The gravy tastes good .
All right .
Pretty decent plate .
So far I'm liking this spoon .
I'm gonna try the chicken .
So it is bone in chicken .
Just , just a little bit of this meat .
It's tender , it's nicely cooked .
Um , it's got good flavor .
I'm not usually a huge fan of like bone and chicken .
It's not my favorite thing , but the skin is good .
It has a nice seasoning on it .
Pretty good .
So far .
No complaints yet .
Everything's pretty good .
All right .
Let me try the baked beans .
Mm .
They use like ketchup and barbecue sauce and their baked beans .
You can taste it .
Really taste this seasoning .
Those are good baked beans .
Hm .
I like those .
They have two different kinds of beans .
I grabbed the baked ones .
I bet the other ones are really good too .
These are yummy so far .
This is a really solid plate .
I'm gonna try the cornbread .
It feels a little suspect .
Like it feels kind of weird .
I don't , I'm hoping that's just like honey , like , all on the outside because I love corn bread .
So I'm hoping it's good .
Yeah .
No , that's not good .
It's like , um , it's not fluffy at all .
It's like hard and , like , crumbly , like styrofoam .
But it's all bad , all bad .
That's disappointing .
I love corn bread .
That is not everything else on the plate was decent .
The beef stew is a really good stand out .
I really liked that but everything else on the plate was pretty good .
Ok ?
On to the next plate .
Let me show you guys what I got right .
We got low main new and egg rolls and taquitos and a beef taco with nothing .
Just beef .
Ok .
Let's start with some .
I'm excited for this .
This looks pretty good .
I really like Loma and it's hard to kind of screw up .
That's good .
Taste like um greasy Chinese American food that you get in a food court .
I like that .
If I were not doing like a review , I could eat like a big old plate of that and feel really satisfied .
Let's try the egg roll .
Not a ton of filling .
Like normally egg rolls are like bursting with filling , but the roll is really nice .
The whipper tastes really good and what's inside does taste good .
It's just like kind of empty .
Definitely tastes like food court quality .
Not a bad thing .
Just what it tastes like .
All Right .
Let's try some Quito .
The ones I eat at home that are frozen are better than those .
He's like , super dry and there's like , no felling in it .
Yeah .
Not a fan .
No , I had high hopes for those because like , microwave mosquitoes at home taste good .
Those are not good .
Ok .
I just got a plain beef taco .
I couldn't be bothered to go get meat topping .
I just want to taste the meat .
So let's see how this is .
Yeah .
The meat kind of tastes like breakfast sausage .
It doesn't taste like taco meat .
I kind of don't think that they put any , like taco seasoning in the meat .
Like other people maybe put their toppings on and they don't taste it .
But like it doesn't , the ground beef doesn't taste like taco seasoned at all .
I not like that .
Um , the main was OK .
And the egg roll was OK .
The Mexican food was definitely not , not a fan .
Mm .
Mm .
All right .
Spaghetti and meatballs there .
And let's get some stuff .
Show a little bit of that .
All right .
Some Fried Shrine got some Stampy here , suspense and some waffle f with a couple of those .
Yes .
Ok .
We had the seafood section and the Italian section kind of getting to the end of the sections here .
Let me show you what we got .
Ok .
Uh , stuff shells , spaghetti and meatballs , some fried shrimp and fried chicken .
I don't remember what this was like a shrimp Alfredo something or other .
And some waffle fries .
I have high hopes for this .
The last section wasn't great .
But let's try stuff .
Shells .
Italian food's pretty , pretty easy .
Let's see how this is .
They do taste like , um , you , like , make at home .
The only thing I think is lacking is like the sauce , the sauce doesn't have a whole lot of flavor and I feel like they really needed to salt the ricotta cheese that's inside .
That's what it's missing really bad .
It's just like salt .
Like overall all the food is missing salt and like seasoning .
Let's try the spaghetti and meatballs .
Big meatball here that , yeah , the meatballs are kind of weird too .
Something's going on with their like red meat .
Like , I don't know if they're using like breakfast meat over again or something .
Like , because I can taste like breakfast food when I'm eating the red meat stuff .
Um , it's ok .
The red sauce is like really , really lacking .
It just doesn't have a lot of flavor to it .
It's really watery .
All right .
Let's try the shrimp , uh , shrimp Alfredo .
I think it is Bucatini .
I don't remember what this was , but we're gonna give a shot .
It's got a cream sauce and Alfredo noodles .
Let's see .
That actually has like seasoning and flavor to it .
Um There's like a little bit of spice in it .
Creamy , taste some cheese .
This is actually really decent .
I don't usually do like white sauce .
Pasta .
I always find it way too rich .
But I think because everything else has been really lacking and seasoning .
I'm like , happy to have something really rich .
That's decent .
I would eat that .
That's pretty good .
All right .
Um , fried shrimp .
I usually don't eat like raw shrimp .
That's usually Mr Ruby's Job .
But I do like it fried .
We couldn't find any tartar sauce or like shrimp sauce or anything .
There , there just wasn't any sauce .
So , mm .
Mm .
But the fried shrimp Brooklyn .
So the fried shrimp and like that dish there .
The Alfredo that was decent .
Let's just try this fish .
This fish does not look very good .
Yeah , it's all bad .
See how the breading is , like , separating from the fish and the fish inside is like a really weird color .
Like , it's just like super , super overcooked .
If you ever see a piece of fish that looks like it's turning into a square .
It's a really bad sign .
That means they like fried all the , all the life out of it .
Not good .
Not great .
The fried shrimp are pretty good but everything else .
Not so much getting .
This looks like tiramisu .
Oh , blueberry .
Absolutely .
That was amazing .
How many can I carry do you think ?
Oh , I really want this .
This is Boston cream that looks delicious .
And these brownies here look amazing too .
So we'll get one of these .
Ok .
You guys on to dessert ?
Now , there were a few more sections there's like a salad bar and like some carving meats , but I wasn't super impressed with what I've had so far and I kind of feel like I've got the general idea .
So I thought I would just get ready to try some dessert .
So why don't I show you what I got ?
Ok , blueberry pie .
That looks great .
And this one looks like Boston cream tiramisu cake and chocolate brownie .
Ok .
I want to start with the tiramisu cake .
This one was calling to me .
This looks really nice .
They're presented really nicely .
Got a cup of coffee to go with .
Let's see how they are .
Ok , so I'm expecting coffee coffee cream .
Let's see .
It looks pretty .
Hm .
Oh that's good .
I'm gonna taste the coffee .
Light fluffy .
The cake is nice and moist .
Mm .
Ok .
That one's good .
Very happy with that .
That's that's good .
Move on to the next one .
Boston cream pie .
Another big favorite of mine .
It looks beautiful .
So let's see .
The desserts all look really nice .
Let's give this a shot .
This looks this looks good .
Yeah .
Yeah .
The cake is nice and fluffy and light chocolate ganache on top is rich that Hershey's chocolate taste really flavorful .
I love the cream .
All good .
All good .
Ok .
Two for two .
Both of these are good looking up .
I'm very happy .
I was a little I was getting a little scared .
The brownie .
The brownie looks it looks gorgeous .
I mean the desserts honestly looked very appetizing and a lot of the food didn't shred the brownie .
No , I'm ok that your tay brownies .
I prefer a fudgy brownie .
So it's more of a light brownie than that .
Like real dense .
A lot of people like cakey , light brownies don't .
It's more like chocolate cakey .
So they would like this one .
So it's not bad .
It's just not my personal preference for a brownie and the other two cakes who this is , but the other two cakes are way better than that .
I'm definitely gonna eat all of these by the way because I haven't eaten a whole lot yet .
So gonna definitely be eating those .
Ok , let's try the blueberry pie to finish the blueberry filling .
Looks great .
I mean it's really thick now it's probably canned and that's really not a bad thing as long as it's got good flavor .
Let's see how it is .
It's just got that cough syrupy taste .
So even if it was canned , it's bad canned blueberry .
I like when blueberry pie has like a lemon flavor or a cinnamon flavor , this tastes like artificial flavor .
I just skip that one .
So I'm gonna finish up my dessert , have some coffee and uh take you guys outside to give you my overall impression .
Also , the coffee tastes kind of weird .
All right guys finished up at Circus Circus buffet .
Obviously , I feel like you guys could see my thoughts .
I did not like the food here the dessert was all right .
Everything else was mediocre or bad .
$30 is way too much for that quality .
If it was like a $10 buffet , I wouldn't complain , but I hope this was helpful and you enjoyed it and I will see you guys all in my next .
Probably hopefully better buffet review .
