Toucan Charlie's Buffet: An Unforgettable Dining Experience in Reno

The most excellent buffet I've been to in a while, and I've been to a lot of buffets in Vegas, all the station casinos circus circus, Caesars. The service was great, our server Delfina was awesome, very attentive, and extremely polite. It was so busy there but she handled all her customers like a soldier.

My mom researched the area for a great buffet before we arrived to Reno, and was told this is the best buffet spot in Reno where she made a reservation. Upon arrival, the lines were extremely long, but they had sections for walk-ins and for people who made reservations. We proceeded to the reservations only line and was assisted by one of their friendly and jolly staff members. We paid the amount and was seated immediately. The waiters/ clean up persons approached us and asked us what we would like to have to drink. They have sodas, teas, lemonade, hot tea, champagne and much more. After ordering our drinks we proceeded to make our plates. Their foods are somewhat categorized by cuisine. They have seafoods, a carving station that includes prime rib, ham, roasted chicken, fried chicken that is bone in, a far east section that consists of dim sum, American Chinese dishes such as wok tossed mixed vegetables, broccoli chicken, fried rice, stir fried noodles and other delicious options. Next to it is their Mongolian Grill where you pick out the items and sauces of your choice and a cook will prepare it on a grill for you. After that would be their noodle station, the prep person will ask what ingredients you want and they will cook it right in front of you. They also have a Spanish section which includes tacos, quesadillas, salsas and some traditional Mexican dishes like carnitas, chile verde, tamales and much more. Fruits and salads are also a option along with a variety of soups to choose from. Lastly they have their dessert isle that is made up of a ice cream section where a staff will scoop it for you, pastries, and other delicious sweet treats for anyone with a sweet tooth. The food was okay and the service was great thanks to their very welcoming, well trained and understanding staffs were it made our visit a satisfying one. They have discounts for children, military, anyone over the age of fifty five and to any Monarch rewards members, higher the tier the cheaper the price. I highly recommend this place to anyone that loves to eat, to anyone looking to try something new, if you are looking for a decent buffet to dine at or if you just so happen to be in the area. I will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

I can't say enough good things about this wonderful buffet. The food is perfectly prepared and fresh, attended to regularly and kept at safe temps. There's a nice variety of options (though compared to come buffets, is lacking slightly in the Asian department). The roasted/sliced meats bar is AMAZING and the turkey is the best I've ever tasted in my long life (and available not just on holidays). There are many unique buffet items I've never seen elsewhere. It's a great spread! Now, as for service, it's exemplary. They work as a team and clear plates and refill drinks promptly. We went without reservations for a birthday celebration and they easily seated our large party and our primary table attendant even prepared a lovely birthday plate of desserts and searched in 3 other onsite restaurants for a candle. What a guy!
