Grand Casino Mille Lacs: AWESOME PRIME RIB - See 120 traveler reviews, 6 candid photos, and great deals for Onamia, MN, at Tripadvisor.

You really can't get a good Prime Rib for under $20, and I think we paid $8 each, so, you truly do get what you pay for. I had a better experience at Treasure Island's filet mignon banquet special, but to be fair, that was like $20 per person, and it was WELL worth it.

When you travel south in the summer, you miss the majority of traffic jams that occur with the Northwoods cabin lot.

Cannon Valley Trail and Bay Point Park have places to run, walk, or play if you’re itching to get outdoors.
We were at Grand Casino on Friday night, 1-17-14 and decided to eat at the seafood buffet. I have to say that this is probably the WORST buffet that we have ever had. We paid $49.14 for what we expected to be good food, and the only food that we of ANY good quality at all was the desert, and that was not even close to the standard that we expected for the price. The crab legs were small and mushy, and none of the other food was very good either. We were extremely disappointed and when I expressed my concern about the quality of the buffet to the attendant when we left, I was just told 'sorry' and was advised that they knew the sea food was not very good, especially the crab legs. When we pay almost $50 for two of us to eat, we feel that the quality should be equal to that high price. The least that they could have done is offered a partial refund, or even a discount on future visits. Based on their reaction, there probably will NOT be any future visits. No wonder there was no one in line to get in and no where near the number of people visiting the buffet like there used to be.
