The venerable Riverside has the only buffet in Laughlin and for a joint that’s the main action in town and has everything else you can imagine, it’s a perfect fit. Like many restaurants in this river destination, the big picture windows look right out on the Colorado, so it’s a bright and airy space that holds plenty of buffet-goers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Brunch runs 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; dinner starts at 3:30 p.m. and ends at 8:30 Sun.-Thurs. and 9:30 Fri. and Saturday. We eyeballed dinner, then came back the next morning to try the brunch buffet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brunch and dinner have the same salad bars, cold cuts, and desserts, with similar Mexican and American stations. Of course, brunch comes with the breakfast choices: scrambled eggs, omelets, bacon, sausage, potatoes, blueberry pancakes, French toast, and the like. Dinner adds Italian, Chinese, and carving (roast beef, ham) stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above photos show breakfast and brunch: Denver scramble, ham, bacon, and melon versus a barbecue pork rib, pulled pork, beef stroganoff, cod, and vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole thing reminded us of the Excalibur buffet in terms of quantity and quality, though at 40%-50% of the price. Brunch here is $17.99 and Sunday champagne $26.99; dinner $23.99, Friday seafood $35.99. By comparison, Excalibur’s brunch is $32.99, $38.99 on Friday, and $43.99 for the weekend mimosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frankly, we’ll take the Riverside minus $8-$15. Oh, and parking is free and convenient at the Riverside; at Excalibur, that adds another $20-$25 to the buffet tab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
