Waterfront Buffet - Harrah's Resort Foodie Experience
|
Allen holding up an Oyster and Shrimp |
We enjoy staying at Harrah's Resort in
Atlantic City, NJ.
It is a beautiful casino overlooking the marina with plenty of excellent dining
options. The food selection at the Waterfront Buffet at Harrah's Resort is
great featuring 9 stations such as Italian, Asian and American. Each time, we
ate different things and the service was excellent and everything yummy. What
follows is the food we tasted (many times in small bites to try as much as
possible) in three visits, twice for dinner and once for lunch during our
three-day stay.

Sophia's plate - pizza, Italian meatball, mashed potatoes, chicken leg, salad... |
The salad bar is divine and features many types of salad
greens, a raw vegetable bar with broccoli, mushrooms, beets, carrots, radish, cherry
tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and much more. The Jersey
tomatoes with balsamic vinegar were sweet, juicy and the balsamic vinegar really
brought out the flavor. You can custom order a salad as well.

Allen's plate - Lobster mac and cheese, chicken legs, steak, mashed potatoes and gravy |
|
Allen's Pizza and Pasta Shells |
I did not try any seafood but Allen enjoyed the freshness of
the raw oysters and clams on the half shell with a squeeze of lemon and
cocktail sauce, and some chilled shrimp too. At the sushi station, a chef makes sushi right at the
station and works fast. We both had
California
rolls and vegetable rolls with fresh wasabi and soy sauce and they were so good.

Salmon |
The collard greens had a Smokey taste and paired great with the
brisket chili. We both had a fried chicken leg and the seasoning and batter
were perfection. The mashed potatoes were rich and creamy and went great with the
roasted prime rib topped with horseradish. The flame-broiled steak is made to order
and had great flavor. The rich and creamy lobster mac and cheese was so good
and had just the right amount of lobster meat.

Asian Station |
|
Quesadillas and Soft Fish Tacos |
The Italian station offers a nice selection of artisan
pizza. The chef makes the dough and pizza right at the station and it was cool
to watch. The pizza with (no bean) chili and cheese was so tasty, as well as
the basil with red onions and white cheese pizza. The stuffed shells were
oozing with cheesy goodness and the Italian meatballs were tender and bursting
with flavor. I tried the garlic bread and it was crispy yet buttery and so
good!

Making Doughnuts |

Chocolate Cake (above) and Doughnuts (below) |
The guacamole was fresh, and the yummy quesadilla was filled
with sautéed onions, peppers and cheese. The steamed Chicken dumplings with
scallions and soy sauce were great. The Chinese broccoli with garlic tasted so
good and the fried rice, Mongolian beef with red peppers and green beans were
excellent.
|
Chocolate cake, red velvet cake, tiramisu tart and cherry tart |
When we went for lunch, Allen had an omelet made to order
with ham, bacon, mushrooms, bell peppers, freshly diced tomatoes and Swiss
cheese. The sliders were flame-broiled beef with melted cheese, caramelized
onions and held together with a spicy pickled pepper on a stick. A slider
lovers dream!
|
Red velvet cake |
Each night, we enjoyed several desserts. The doughnuts are
made at the dessert station. Allen had a powdered one and his favorite was the cinnamon
sugar. Both were light and fluffy. The fresh, warm and soft white chocolate
cookie was fabulous. The chocolate cake, cherry tart, tiramisu tart, chocolate tart, rich
brownie and moist red velvet cake were all delightful.
