I'm visiting the area and was told that the Blue Ridge Buffet was a must visit while in the area. I had to visit on Seafood night which was lucky in itself because I love seafood, so I was really looking forward to the experience. We were greeted by friendly staff and quickly seated in the dining area. We decided to enjoy glasses of champagne along with our dinner. Upon entering the buffet area we were extremely impressed by the presentation and variety of the culinary dishes. The buffet area was clean and the food looked fresh and neatly displayed. From the salad area I started with the quinoa salad, seafood salad, beet salad, poke salad and zucchini and yellow squash. Everything had a unique flavor with the quinoa salad being my favorite. From the hot entrees my favorites were the crab cakes and the chimi churi shrimp. For desert the cheese cake knocked it out of the park. Special thank you to Katherine and Erin who created a special evening for us and making our visit a memorable one.

Here for a work conference so we had breakfast here for 3 days. The breakfast buffet is amazing. So many options and the staff here are so on their A plus game. Your plates disappear quickly as you finish. If you need anything someone is really close by to help. My favorites so far is their chia pudding and French toast. The view is an amazing. You get to eat and look over the blue ridge . Love this place! Going to miss my breakfast here .

What a memorable meal. The options were overwhelming. Gluten free items were clearly labeled, and they even kept additional bread items in the back kitchen per request. There were three full size rooms with more options than one person could even sample. My daughter was especially blown away with the dessert room - an entire room dedicated solely to dessert. The service was exceptional. The view was beautiful. It was one of our favorite experiences of our entire vacation, and we can't wait to return.

I have never been to a Vegas buffet, but this was hands down the most elegant buffet I have ever seen. The Christmas Eve buffet had raw oysters and king crab legs (not warm), all kinds of side dishes, the most incredible cauliflower truffle soup, chicken, fish,beef short ribs (so good), every side dish you could imagine. There was a carving station with ham and roast beef (the only small disappointment- I thought it was going to be prime rib). The jaw dropper, though, is the dessert buffet. I can't think of a dessert that wasn't on that buffet, and there was even a hard candy section and a sundae bar. Well worth the price and an unbelievable view as well. Will definitely return. My relative says the regular brunch has the best biscuits and gravy. The service was lovely and not intrusive.

As someone who lives in Las Vegas, the buffet capital of the world, I thought I had experienced the best. That is, until I visited Blue Ridge on my recent trip. This was, without a doubt, the best buffet I have ever had! The selection was incredible but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our server, Erin. She was absolutely amazing! Not only was she attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and plates cleared promptly, but she also had us laughing the entire time with her hilarious personality. She brought such warmth and energy to our meal that she turned an already great experience into something extraordinary. Erin truly went above and beyond, and I can confidently say she was the highlight of our trip. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this buffet--you'll leave with a full stomach and, if you're lucky, some great stories from Erin to take home!

The buffet is located in the Omni Grove Park Inn. Easily the best buffet I have been to in this area. The server Daniel and Michael the manager both are amazingly friendly and helpful. You will leave so full with great food. I will be back.

Great experience for the buffet. Everyone arrives at noon when doors open. They have mimosas ready as you enter and wait to be escorted to the table. Buffet was well stocked throughout the visit. Employees were very caring and helpful. They worked well together. We never sat with dirty plates in front of us. The view was spectacular and priceless. Food was great and a nice variety of breakfast and lunch items. See photos.

Was so excited to get a reservation a few days before since in the past that's been difficult. We were seated right away and you get a free mimosa upon entering. There are 3 rooms full of food and truly so much to choose from. I enjoyed the brunch but I feel like the prices is a bit steep. It's definitely for the experience but not sure I would go back for brunch. Dinner, I wanna go for the prime rib night for sure!

I will say I have never been to Vegas but this was to closest thing to a Vegas Buffet/Brunch I have been too. We came in for Easter Brunch with a reservation at 12:30PM and it took us no time to be seated. We were escorted to our table and our waiter then took our drink order. Once that was done it was time to get into it. This buffet and all things one would what for an amazing brunch: Bacon, Sausage, Shrimp and Grits, Fried Chicken, Waffles, 4 different types of Benedicts, Snow Crab Legs, Clams, Mussels, Cocktail Shrimp, Oysters, Lamb and Roast Beef Carving Station, Deviled Eggs, Omelet Station and more, and don't even get me started on the deserts. I will say I went over with my first plate: Oysters, Lamb, Bacon, Deviled Eggs, Fried Chicken, and the best of everything I ate the Crab Eggs Benedict. Loaded with crab, perfectly cooked poached eggs, and delicious Hollandaise Sauce. I really which I had gotten another. The Fried Chicken was also very well done. Crispy, seasoned well, and juicy. The oysters were also good and I had a number of them. Only issue is they were tough to get off the shell so I did get sick of them after getting after it for awhile. I also had to get some crab legs too. I will say they were chilled so it was tough to get the meat out even with the Crab Crackers but our waiter did bring us crackers which helped but still was a good amount of work. The deserts were also good and I tried a lot of them but I will say none of them blew me out of the water. All and all this was a great experience am I would say it is for sure worth checking it out.

We enjoyed several yummy meals at Blue Ridge over the course of our long weekend in December! The various buffet stations were replenished regularly, and things were organized and clean. We also enjoyed the omelette station at breakfast a couple of days. Enjoy this gem!
