“I used to be a regular here and I like the Mexican nights.” “I missed the buffet,” James Meyers of Sterling Heights said last weekend, as he headed straight for the carving station, where a line of people waited for a sliver of ham or a slice of beef. The scene at Assembly Line appeared relatively normal on a recent weekend as guests filed past the tables, piling their plates. A few stalwarts have returned, including the popular casino restaurant, and diners are back for the fried and baked chicken, the rolled sushi and chilled shrimp, the mashed potatoes and collards, and so much more.
Long lines are back at the Assembly Line Buffet, the roomy restaurant at the MotorCity Casino Hotel.īuffets have long been as much a part of a casino as 25-cent slot machines, a cheap way to keep late-night gamblers nourished, but all-you-can eat events - and restaurants designed for them - have fallen by the wayside since the pandemic hit.
