Overall, the evening was fun. The food and service was very good. Unfortunately the food tables were outside and it was cold. The doors remained open for access to the food which made it uncomfortable inside for tables near the doors. The band was mediocre but we made the best of it. We are regular customers of RBI and we were expecting better. Maybe our expectations were to high.

Was surprised they had no omelet station or eggs benedict. I heard several other people asking for them also. Seeing that the brunch started at 10AM you would have thought they would have an omlet station or some kind of eggs.

The Rancho Bernardo Inn has extensive, beautiful grounds. The Christmas brunch was a gorgeous spread with many delicious offerings. The open bar flowed freely. Brunch for 6 people cost $1047.

The food was fantastic, I will be going again. A couple of my top favorites was the stuffing and mashed potatoes, the flavors reminded me of the times I spent TG at my grandmothers. The way the buffet was set up including the carving station resulted in little time to fill your plate. The Staff was very gracious and there was someone always checking the table and asking if you needed anything with a quick turnaround when you did need something. I would recommend the RB Inn for anyone who wants to take a break from the long hours in the kitchen on TG Day. It is every bit worth the cost.

This was our 4th Thanksgiving spent at the RB Inn Buffet and overall it was a fantastic experience. The only drawback compared to years past is that the ballroom was much more crowded and the noise levels were very high (making it almost impossible to have a conversation during our meal). In the past (pre-Covid) the buffet tables were setup in the main ballroom (so we did not have to walk as far to get food), and the dining tables were more spread out making for a much quieter and more peaceful experience. The food and service were outstanding!!!
