Some clarification: Here is the price menu in case you cant see it in the beginning of the line. southpointcasino.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1/2015/01/22-0486S-SAH-GardenBuffetWeb.pdf According to the staff: The buffet opens for dinner at 1600 People tend to line up for it at 1400 At 1600 they start letting people pay and be seated It takes about an hour to fill up the entire buffet, and once it is full, it is full. There are no more tables available after it fills up, and as the first set of customers finish their meals, they clean up and a table is ready for the next customer.. assuming the 1400 people take 2 hours to finish their meal, more tables start becoming available at 1800. BEST METHOD: It appears that no matter what, you will wait for about 2 or more hours any which way you do it. So get there at 1400 with a little chair, and just sit in the front of the line. This way, you just sit there and not have to repeatedly get up and sit down again as the line moves at 1600. Bringing friends to take turns being on line also helps.
Sorry Danny. You did work for this one. The time you had to wait was just crazy. Thank you for your review and having g a viewer join you was a nice addition. Have a great rest of your week. Always I love your videos.
I stayed at the South Point in December. Didn't do the Seafood night, but enjoyed the regular breakfast and dinner buffet a few times. The Coronado Restaurant is also very good. Keep up the great work Danny!
Enjoy your videos Danny, I've been doing Vegas since late1960's. Many casinos gave shrimp cocktails away like drinks - most Buffets were under $5.00, and girls pushed carts around to give players change. The machines were much looser then.
ROFL, you are my new favorite. Just surprise so many people waited for hours to get in a buffett!!! I will only do it IF they have Colossal King Crabs and lobsters.
DTM I have watched this numerous times. Fine, DTM you have guilted me in subscribing 😂. The walkthrough "Here we have plaid" 🤣. Still to this day that is hilarious.
His name is appropriate since he cuts through the bullshit for us, so we know what the heck we are walking into when we go to these buffets. A lot of food but not a lot of good food. I love him!
I just loved your production and presentation. What I don't understand is why the South Point doesn't use an iPad or buzzing guest pager...forcing you to wait in that life-suckling line. The South Point is in the casino business, but has a system that won't allow you to play while waiting your turn. Makes no sense. You're a better man than I, Danny the Medic®.
I saw a different and older Joe got in the game! It was “Story Time w/DannyTheMedic” Now in the refilling of this video, get his grandson in asking the question, then story, then the don, then story, then grandpa Joe. Kinda like the wait in line. So much casting and editing involved. A real production. Thanks for taking the bullet. I honestly would have felt ripped off for the lack of selection. More the stuff than the price which I guess was fair. If the labeled butter wasn’t actual butter, that’s a huge health violation. I’m assuming it was butter. The other mystery one was a sauce or margarine. Great video Danny! Oh one night of my resort fee was refunded. My bill was messed up and I had to call and this lady I got made everything right and saved a customer. Hope to cross paths with you one day! Less old but aging, Joe.
My husband and I went here in early January and it was soooo great. I knew from previous videos that the lines get horribly long so we got there around 2:30. My husband and I tagged teamed the line. I would stand in line for a while and he would go play then we would switch, so it wasn’t so bad. We were about maybe 50-60 people back and we got our table around 4:30. The food was so fresh and very yummy, the servers and buffet workers are so nice. You can’t beat the price for the oysters and crab alone. We thought it was really worth standing in line.
they cant just HAND OUT A NUMBER? they gotta make you tag team your husband outside???.. horrid ! I am NEVER going back there for a friday night unless they stop that stand on the line baloney!
Thanks for taking one for the team but I would not have lined up for 3 hours. The only items I liked were the clams and crab. Seafood gets a new life with lemon juice to cover the smell.
The South Point buffet has just an incredible popularity that doesn't match up with the quality. I once had the brunch buffet and quickly regretted my decision, especially as I had a car and could have gone to the Black Bear Diner instead. Maybe it's just because buffets are disappearing, but they could probably use "Home of the Nursing Home Noodles" as a slogan and still have a 4-hour line.
Hi Danny, as a local I don't live near the South Point so I don't go there. But, it seems like a very very popular place for all the locals there. 3 hr buffet wait is proof ! I guess in the beginning some people thought a large casino so far south and off the strip wouldn't make it. But, the population in the area grew and grew and now it's firmly established !
Hi Danny! I am glad I found your channel. I like your humor. I think it would be fun to watch you do food reviews at Universal studios Orlando and the other Orlando parks
I once walked to the end of that line, which led me directly into the Steak & Shake in the corner, where I enjoyed burgers and fries. Eventually I did the buffet at lunch, which is a bargain for $16.
Love love your honest review…..love your side remarks very very funny comments….. you just made me your new subscriber! Congratulations…..you just made me a believer!!
Dungeness crab is my favorite crab that I have sampled. I'm not a big shellfish person. But, I had a girlfriend that introduced me to Dungeness crab and the flavor notes hit strong enough to override my knowledge that most shellfish are bottom feeders related to insects. I know...I'm a speciest. :)
Hi Danny! Wow! Look at that line…craziness! Now I am so curious what is so special about this buffet…this was so hilarious on all your comments. What did they do go send divers to catch all the fish and harvest all the crab? Lol! But I am glad you made it inside…it was a journey to get there then a very long wait…at least they had gelato😊…that apple streusel looked good! nursing home noodles…😢lol! Why are there so many people there? If food is mediocre? Thanks for sharing! Need to catch up on your videos…take care!
Have tried going to this seafood buffet in the past...and each time when we saw the line, each time we ended up eating at the Steak 'n Shake, next door. Have only been to this buffet for the breakfast which by the way, over the years, is a bargain for the price you pay, especially if you are a South Point club member
keep in mind danny, that the fake butter is in tons of buffet and some regular restaurant foods too. when you see them make something at a hibachi section of the buffet, they squeeze on that buttery mix stuff and i also get that at most seafood restaurants too. but the cool thing is, when i go to my local hibachi buffet, i ask for butter, they say they dont have it and then i tell them they do and they get it from the kitchen where they do have real butter. and then put it in the nuker for me. :-)
Would never wait in such a line for any buffet but never go off strip anymore, anyway. The thin fried shrimp was "butterflied" which is as you described 'smashed':-) You can get much better and thicker in the frozen section of a super market. I like to dip them in very hot/spicy cocktail sauce. Those there had to be very small before being smashed!
Visited South Point for the first time in 2015 and again in 2022. I have to say I think it’s gone downhill. I like to stay on strip, but a family member has a timeshare next door so we checked it out. It is the smokiest casino I’ve ever been to. I usually don’t mind some smoke, but everyone I went with had red eyes and sore throats after a few hours in there. The buffet is nothing special and I’d never wait in that line, but for your effort you gained a new subscriber!
Thx for taking 1 for the team - for how long the queues are, you would think they have AMAZING food, but it's all very ordinary! No way i would queue for that!
After looking at this video again, I decided that the wait in that long line for what is called a seafood buffet is still not worth it. I would like to see more seafood items, mixes, salads etc.😁
20:20 - i must say, the fried shrimp at the habachi buffet, in chantilly, is usually plump and tasty. maybe you can try that place when you come back to va.
2 hour wait???? No food worth it...thanks for taking one for the team...and after all that, there were many items you didn't like the texture or flavor...and as always...thanks for sharing your experience Danny.
Thanks for standing in the long line for us … now I know in my opinion it wasn’t worth it, plus u had to travel a long distance just to get there. I agree with one of the comments that I’d much rather pay a little more at one of the better buffets on the Strip and have better quality seafood. We had a reservation at Bacchanal, still had to wait, but it was more like 30 min to get in for dinner.
Thanks for the great video Danny. I'm not a seafood eater when it comes to buffets. I'll have some clams and some baked mussels, don't really care for the crab legs too much work to get a small bit of meat. Unless they were cut in half. For me Prime Rib all day.
How long did you talk to Joe? You out-talked an older guy! He left in a big hurry at the end. I’d like to hear the whole (unedited) thing. I like the way you tell stories.
I think the small cup was melted butter the labeled butter was clarified butter. Maybe the cups are for people that want individual portions due to being scared of germs. Maybe??
I was at the South Point in April... The line was long (but your line was lonnnnnnnnnnnng!) so my friend and I visited all the other restaurants instead. The Coronado Cafe had great food too! Great video Danny! $44 for that? Do you feel it was worth it?
I arrived at 4:10pm and waited only 1 hour and 56 minutes. Few of my friends went there and the average wait time is roughly 2 hours. The line was crazy long!!!!
I will be there 4 and daytime of 5. post fresh comment if you are interested in joining in for a video! I only read fresh comments soon, replies, months later
You are so funny in your description and we love it. That fish has a lot or resistance like from a country being invaded by the colonizers. Hahaha! Do you think that seafood buffet at South Point is worth the money? Wish you success and keep us informed and educated on various buffets at LV. Thanks and keep us posted.
OMG, no way I will wait for that long for my food, but Danny did, very nice, we got a free tour of what's this long line up has to offer, will not have the fake butter though 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You don't need to do that anymore, just go at noon to wait in the line for about an hour in line to prepay, then you can come back anytime when it opens at 2pm, just another 15 min to wait to get a table
OMG! The bus ride is nothing compared to the lineup. Geez I guess I definitely won’t be there for Seafood night. To show my appreciation for this video, I even smashed the 👍 twice for you (Just joking 😉)

According to the staff:
The buffet opens for dinner at 1600
People tend to line up for it at 1400
At 1600 they start letting people pay and be seated
It takes about an hour to fill up the entire buffet, and once it is full, it is full.
There are no more tables available after it fills up, and as the first set of customers finish their meals, they clean up and a table is ready for the next customer.. assuming the 1400 people take 2 hours to finish their meal, more tables start becoming available at 1800.

yes, the other days there is not such a wait
OMG. You deserve a DOUBLE Like for waiting in such a long line. Seeing the green chair. 😀😀👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for taking one for the team. I could not have done it😁
Oh my gosh Danny, I would sub you 10 times if I could for waiting on line for all those years. 👍

wow... some years ago, fremont st had a theme called summer of 69 or something like that.. it was nice
Seafood buffets always attracts a crowd. It's usually not worth it. Surprised they have snow crab legs considering the crabs are almost extinct.
@@truth4004 That’s sad but the way you said it is funny
ROFL, you are my new favorite. Just surprise so many people waited for hours to get in a buffett!!! I will only do it IF they have Colossal King Crabs and lobsters.
Don't eat seafood so other than shrimp and lobster so won't be going, lol
No thank you

The South Point buffet has just an incredible popularity that doesn't match up with the quality.

Maybe it's just because buffets are disappearing, but they could probably use "Home of the Nursing Home Noodles" as a slogan and still have a 4-hour line.
It is popular because of the price and because the casino is pretty generous in giving away free buffets to people who gamble.

very nice of you to let someone ask you questions your a good dude!
it was ONE question... just that my answer was like...
DANNY: My Beloved says you should be “Danny the food paramedic!”
Love your honest reviews from the Casino location to your food rating system.
Too funny. Thank you for your effort 😎🌺
I would never wait that long for a buffet.
Love love your honest review…..love your side remarks very very funny comments….. you just made me your new subscriber! Congratulations…..you just made me a believer!!
Welcome aboard!
got your vid recommended, enjoyed it, subscribed it ;) hope the long line didnt kill your appetite ;)
I love Joe, your a brave food soldier alright 3 hours for that?. Anyway, great job.
I would rate this a 16 minute max wait worthy buffet
Yes Danny I subscribed, I thought I was but now I am . I really like your refreshing, honest and humorous descriptions. Thank you for sharing
I appreciate that!

Thank you for great sharing my friend from LAS VEGAS

Thank you Danny...so I don't have to...
Appreciate your honest review.
This place in a "never mind's

LoL 😆 a buffet that's harder to get into than a nightclub on a Saturday night?!
First time seeing your video..........I like your style. You not only tell it like it taste, but you also rate it too. Good going.....

@@1kenodave1 that may be real butter, but how are you going to dip the crab legs in it?
Thanks Mr Medic. It’s 3 am and now I’m hungry.
I smashed the subscribe tab 20 seconds in, ur a funny dude....
There is no freaking way that I am waiting that long even if it was FREE
Thanks for your suffering now I don't have to LOL

So your in my neck of the woods, lol.Hit that SUBSCRIBE BUTTON DAMN IT.. lol That made me laugh. GOOD job Danny. 👏
No way I would stand in line very long for this Buffet based on Mr. Danny's Ratings.
I couldn't wait that long. Once I saw that line, I would have chosen another place to eat.
Thanks Danny. I'll pay an extra 30 bucks on the strip and save my sanity. Lol
we went all the way down to southpoint for the brunch it was just ok but no line we wont be going again thanks for taking all the time in this vlog
Thanks Danny... 👍👍😋😊😎
You bet!
Sounds like you’ve had nursing home noodles before. You must have been really hungry! LOL 27:05
Danny your Nuts lol lol But Keep the Videos Coming God Bless
Love these longer videos, Danny!
We've eaten there for lunch on a regular weekday. Had about an hour wait and thought it was worth it considering the low price.
yes, when its not friday night, I dont mind it
What no lobster? Certainly not worth the extremely long wait. Yes you saved me the time of ever wanting to go there for seafood night.
my god if there was lobster the line would be twice as long

3 hour wait for mediocre seafood? No thanks, thanks for waiting Danny so I don't have too.

I was at the South Point in April... The line was long (but your line was lonnnnnnnnnnnng!) so my friend and I visited all the other restaurants instead. The Coronado Cafe had great food too! Great video Danny! $44 for that? Do you feel it was worth it?
44 dollar and no line, then its like a maybe... but with that line, it better be FREE.

with no wait, and if I had my own butter then yes I would go again for that price
Not far for us to travel.
We ALWAYS stay next door at the GrandView. 😁😁
OMG, no way I will wait for that long for my food, but Danny did, very nice, we got a free tour of what's this long line up has to offer, will not have the fake butter though 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am shocked there are no laws that says they have to list the butter thing correctly!!!
🤣🤣🤣 opening monologue hysterical
A comment to one's art....bringing a chair. Amazing.

You don't need to do that anymore, just go at noon to wait in the line for about an hour in line to prepay, then you can come back anytime when it opens at 2pm, just another 15 min to wait to get a table
