My friend and I visited the Flamingo's Paradise Garden Buffet for breakfast/brunch at the recommendation of a friend and we were so impressed that we started every day of our trip there, fueling up for each day's adventures.

For about $15.95 the buffet offers a huge selection of delicious cuisine. For breakfast you can expect all of the regular breakfast fare, including a variety of styles of egg, pancakes, waffles, french toast, home fries, bacon, ham, etc. They also have healthier, lighter choices including a wide variety of fruits, garden salads, bagels, lox, cold pastas, and the like.

There were two chefs preparing eggs to order. If you prefer whites only, a particular style of egg, or an omelet made just to your liking then take the extra couple of minutes to have the chef prepare your eggs.

Maybe it's because this buffet is always packed (there is often a long line-up to get in, but it moves relatively quickly) but the food turnover is quick and the food always tasted fresh.

Many of the seats at the buffet overlooked the Flamingo's Wildlife Habitat. Just out the window you can watch a variety of ducks, flamingos, penguins, and other fowl.

We sat by the window with a view of the waterfall, which was nice. The food was good but not exciting. There were LOTS of crablegs and shrimp on ice. Prime rib was warm and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. We ate there twice. Go more for the location than the food. Still, I loved the hotwings!
