Excalibur Buffet: Price, Menu, & Hours

The Excalibur Buffet is a budget-friendly brunch buffet with a limited food selection and average quality.

Here’s what you need to know about The Buffet at Excalibur, including menu items, pricing, ways to save, hours, and answers to your most frequently asked questions.

Prices & Hours

For the weekday brunch held Monday to Thursday, the price is $31.99 per person, while for the weekend brunch, the price increases by about $6 per person. 

Children ages 5-11 receive discounted pricing, only costing $17.99 for the weekday brunch and $18.99 for the weekend brunch.

Though it costs far less than some other Las Vegas buffets, you are sure to leave brunch satisfied. Like most MGM Resorts buffets, the prices increase during special events and holidays. These prices also do not include the sales tax. 

Many of the more upscale buffets feature individual servings rather than self-serve in large pans, but the Excalibur is still self-serve.

It still has its old-school look, too, with red chairs and newer black booths, seating more than 600 guests, and the classic red carpet in the dining area.     

Brunch Menu

As we mentioned above, there’s no longer a separate breakfast and lunch buffet. Instead, they offer a daily brunch featuring both breakfast and lunch items. 

Breakfast Items

On the breakfast side, you can expect cinnamon rolls, french toast, assorted fruit, applewood smoked bacon, pork sausage, turkey sausage, scrambled eggs, pancakes, huevos rancheros, and biscuits and gravy.

There are two favorite breakfast stations at Excalibur Buffet – an omelet station and a crepe station, both with freshly made-to-order options.

Lunch Items

Whether you like to eat shrimp, fried chicken, sushi, or a simple salad, you’ll find plenty of lunch food items, too. 

In terms of seafood, you can expect a small selection, including peel-and-eat shrimp, fried shrimp, and mussels, located over by the salad bar area.

If you are looking for great seafood, Excalibur Buffet is not the place for you. See our list of the best Las Vegas seafood buffets.

At the American station, you can expect options like fried chicken, chicken fried steak, roasted chicken, glazed pork ribs, mashed potatoes with gravy, and cornbread. 

Over at the Latin station, you’ll discover a build-your-own burrito bar with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, veggies, and salsas, as well as chicken tamales, seafood paella, baked fish with pineapple salsa, and caramelized plantains. 

There is an Asian Station, too, with selections like fried rice, steamed rice, ginger chicken, orange chicken, assorted sushi, and stir fry vegetables. 

In the mood for pizza and pasta? At the Italian station, you’ll find cheese ravioli and other pasta dishes, ratatouille, marsala chicken, pizza, and more. 

On the salad bar, there are pre-made salads and all the toppings and dressings you could imagine to build your own salad. Pro tip: Grab some delicious proteins like shrimp, bacon, or roasted chicken from other stations to take your salad to the next level!

Every good buffet has a carving station, and on this one, you’ll find turkey, brisket, lamb, and even grilled vegetables. Though you won’t typically see prime rib here, there are plenty of other higher-end menu items to get you by, like the plethora of seafood, assorted sushi, and made-to-order crepes.

Dessert

The dessert station is the perfect way to end brunch with desserts like bread pudding, pies, soft serve, cookies, cakes, and pastries. You have to try the cinnamon rolls, too!

Drinks

Non-alcoholic beverages are included with the brunch buffet at a self-serve station. They offer Pepsi products, sparkling water, juice, milk, coffee, and tea. They also have a new Bubly machine.

There is a bar where you can purchase beer, wine, champagne, and mimosas.

The weekend brunch used to include unlimited champagne before the shutdown, but that is not the case anymore, unfortunately. 

Location

The buffet located on the Excalibur property is on the Castle Walk Level down a hallway by the Castle Walk Food Court.

Dress Code & Reservations

Reservations are not required at the Excalibur Buffet. However, you may find that during peak times like breakfast between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. or the lunch rush at noon, there may be a line. Even if you happen upon a line, don’t stress because it always moves rather fast. 

The posted dress code for the Excalibur Buffet is casual. This means that while shorts and a t-shirt are perfectly fine, you shouldn’t show up in swimwear, pajamas, barefoot, or shirtless. 

It is also a family-friendly eatery, so though revealing and sexy outfits definitely have their place in Sin City, this is not one of them. As with any Vegas restaurant, not following the dress code leaves you at risk of being turned away. 

Final Thoughts

Excalibur Buffet is one of the least expensive buffets on the Las Vegas Strip, along with MGM Grand Buffet and Luxor.

Compared to these other budget-friendly buffets, the food is fine but not great, and the selection is basic. Where Excalibur shines is with its made-to-order stations, like the Crepe and Omelette Stations.
