The Star of the Show
Steamed Maine lobster tails are a treat, and ours are especially delicious! All our food is made by world-class chefs led by Executive Chef Denis Soriano, and they never disappoint. Each lobster tail is perfectly steamed and served with melted butter.
And we don’t stop there! We have created some decadent and craveable seafood dishes, including lobster pot pie, with a creamy inside and a golden pie crust. Other seafood menu items include chilled Mediterranean seafood salad, freshly prepared sushi rolls, grilled salmon and steamed Alaskan crab legs. And you must try the shrimp and scallops in puff pastry with tarragon cream sauce.
Of course, you would come for the steamed Maine lobster tails, but you’d want to stay for … everything else! With over a hundred menu items, including appetizers, main dishes, side dishes and desserts, it’s hard to choose a favorite.
Our south-of-the-border street tacos are especialmente delicioso. All-American favorites include roasted prime rib and turkey breast and baked mac & cheese. The Pan-Asian menu features mouthwatering dishes, like pho dumpling soup and Thai basil beef stir-fry. We also offer soups, salads and pasta options.
You don’t want to skip dessert, either. We even have gluten-free, no-sugar-added and sugar-free options. From classics like crème brûlée and hand-dipped ice cream to brand new creations like pistachio raspberry cheesecake and white chocolate bread pudding, you’ll find something for every sweet tooth.
We Love a Buffet
No matter how many are in your dining party, at a buffet, everyone can mix and match and have exactly the meal they want. With seafood in particular, you often find that when you order pre-planned meals, you may not get the variety you wish. At a buffet, that’s simply not an issue. You can choose as many dishes as you like and try everything. There are no dilemmas here.
Another perk of eating at an all-you-can-eat buffet is that you know how much you’re spending as you go in, no matter how much you eat. How many times have you ordered a meal at a restaurant and not been satisfied? Maybe the portions were too small and left you hungry. Maybe you had to order additional food just to feel full, and it cost you. When you can pay one up-front price and know you’ll be satiated, you can enjoy your meal even more.
Location, Location, Location

The drive through North San Diego County is scenic and varied, passing through several parks, open spaces and points of interest. You’ll see a bit of Lake Hodges and drive along the length of Lake Wohlford as well.

Serving in Style
Valley View Casino’s all-you-can-eat lobster buffet is also a little different. At other buffets, you might stand in line to get to the food, and then you carry it all back to your own table . There’s a lot of waiting involved, which might keep you away from the casino floor for longer than you’d like.
At Valley View Casino, we offer a unique buffet experience and bring the choices to you. You don’t need to get up multiple times to go get more of something or to try something new. Let our staff do that for you! You can look at our menu and tell the waiter what interests you, and they’ll bring it right to your table. It’s an especially indulgent experience, perfect for a celebration, a holiday or just needing to be pampered.
