The Chuck Wagon Cafe - restaurant reviews

[lilacgems23]

we ate here wednesday think it was 21 euros roughly per adult which included 1 soft drink. keep your receipt as without this you cant claim your drink in the buffet.

The buffet consisted of ribs, chicken wings, bbq sauce, rice, curry, few meats in sauces and wedges, salads etc. Plus there was a desert buffet. Well worth the money and it wasnt too busy when we went, we ate about 8.15.

We ate here on 1st and 2nd of March using our free meals vouchers. Stayed in Santa Fe but didn't think my 3 year old would like the food on offer there so tried The Chuckwagon after reading about it on here! I have to say we were very happy with the place. Made a reservation for 6.30pm and only waited just over 5 minutes to eat. The buffet had a good variety DD had Pizza, sausages, corn on the cob and a few chips and pasta bolognese and bread roll the 2nd night. My partner who is a big eater had a plateful of just about everything going! Spare ribs, chicken, chips, pizza, sausages and I had mainly salad stuff, jacket potato and absolutely loved the bread rolls and ratatouille! Also has 1 free drink with the buffet. There was a big selection of desserts too, various cakes, mousse, tarts and rice pudding. We booked for 6 pm the 2nd night and were served straigt away but by 7pm both nights the place was packed. The seating area is HUGE and is really noisy when full up but we really enjoyed it and went back a second time. It was only a short walk back to the Santa Fe which was another bonus as we were too full to walk too far!!!

We ate here once on our trip 17th March to 23 March 2013 and it was our favourite place. We would have eaten here nearly every day but they didn't start serving until 6pm which was a bit too late for our children. The food was lovely and hot and plenty to choose from. Am hoping to eat here more often on our next trip .

I can't remember exactly what was on offer but the food selection was pretty much as the above posts have described (especially Kizzabel's). I just remember there was a huge selection (even better than Plaza Gardens!) and everyone in our party loved it .

 

[mommy2ash]

we ate here two nights. i was quite surprised by this buffet. it was much better than either the plaza gardens or restaurant des stars.

there was a large selection. the first night i had lovely chicken wraps and they second night they had lasagne that we all went up for seconds of.

we had a drink included but there were jugs to fill up with water as well.

i will definitely eat here again.

We ate here twice. Wednesday 12th, and Wednesday 19th. The first meal wasn't too enjoyable. For some reason the food was quite band, which is unusual for the Chuck Wagon. The had jacket potatoes, which pleased my DD, and and plenty of veg, including vegetable soup.

The second time we ate there, it was much, much better. The ribs were still very fatty, and we didn't get to make fajitas this time, but they had lasagna in its place and mounds disappeared.

The price was adult €23,99 without a drink, kids €13,99 (we think!) and includes a drink of small orange/apple juice. Water is free if from the dispenser.

We ate here Wednesday 26th November around 8pm.

I think the prices were €23.99/26.99 for adults (w/wo drinks).
And kids were €13.99.

On offer were the salad cart, meats, cheeses, soup, rolls, sausages, chicken legs, corn on the cob, chicken legs, ribs, BBQ sauce and the best selection of vegetables in any onsite buffet - boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, chips, jacket potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, mixed veg, green beans, baked beans, stuffed tomatoes.
There were also 2 types of pasta, two types of pasta sauce (plain and bolognese) carved ham, carved turkey, chicken fajitas, a cod dish, lovely beef stroganoff, meatballs.
The kids section had pastas, pizzas, nuggets, frankfurthers, cod nuggets, veg, fries, mash.
There were a huge selection of desserts on offer including apple tart, chocolate mousse, jelly, bavrois, ill flotante, coconut tart and many more but by this stage I was in a food coma.
Oh and theres a cheese board!

Still the best as regards choice, value and all very fresh and tasty. Will definitely return on our next visit.
The total was €74ish with discount.
