First you wait on line to pay and once you pay, you are held to the side of the front of that same line to be let in to go and wait on another line from which you will be seated. The system to get people in and out when it is busy is not the best. We waited over forty-five minutes on the line. There was a long line to get into the buffet. If you have a casino 'comp' card - easily obtained for several booths around the complex for free (though you may encounter long lines to get one) the price is $1.00 less at all meal times. On Friday and Saturday the price for dinner is $19.95. The cost on Friday and Saturday nights is three dollars more than Sunday through Thursday nights when the price is $16.95 per person which includes your soft drinks. We went on a Friday night and Friday's feature is seafood (what else?). In all this time I had not gone back when in this area and that is too bad because over time there has been a great improvement and I was missing a wonderful buffet experience. I had been to the Festival Buffet many years ago - before I had started writing this site - and I was not very impressed. The entire complex has many, many restaurants but just one buffet - the Festival Buffet. There is a Native American museum as part of the complex. This is a casino that is owned and operated by a Native American tribe. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Your satisfaction is important to us and we will be using the feedback you gave us to implement improvements to ensure we offer a better experience for our guests in the immediate future.I have been hoping to eat at a buffet that I can really rave about, and finally I did! The Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, CT is a large complex of four casinos, two hotels, and what amounts to an amusement park for adults.

I have brought to the staff attention how important it is for us in Management to approach guests taking food out of the Buffet. We always have a Manager on Duty and a Chef on Duty who can address any and all concerns.

It is important to bring your concerns to our attention at the time of your visit so that we can professionally rectify the situation. We want you to have a good time and above all enjoy your dining experience. Your satisfaction is important to us and we have shared your feedback and perception directly with our Culinary Team.

We would like to apologize that our food on this particular visit did not exceed your expectations. Dear Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent dining experience at The Festival Buffet here at Foxwoods.
