Hell's Kitchen gets the headlines, but a guest who stays two nights will probably eat most meals at The Kitchen or Tap 25. Both are open to families, both publish a kids menu and a show-night menu, and between them they cover breakfast from 5 am.
The Kitchen
The resort calls The Kitchen a family-friendly full-service restaurant and buffet with "western classics", open for dine-in and take-out. It takes reservations and special requests on 780-930-2679 and offers group dining for birthdays and anniversaries. Its hours changed in 2026, so here is the version on the page modified on 22 September 2026:
| Service | Days | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | Monday to Friday | 7:00–11:00 am |
| Breakfast buffet | Saturday and Sunday | 7:00 am–2:00 pm |
| All-day dining (full service) | Monday to Thursday | 11:00 am–10:00 pm |
| All-day dining (full service) | Friday | 11:00 am–2:00 pm |
| All-day dining (full service) | Sunday | 4:00–10:00 pm |
| Buffet service | Friday and Saturday | 4:00–10:00 pm (closed 2–4 pm) |
The menus linked from the page include an all-day menu, a show-night menu, a breakfast buffet menu, a breakfast menu, a kids menu and two buffet themes: Surf & Turf and Prime Rib. The weekend breakfast buffet was advertised at $19.99 on Saturdays and Sundays when we read the resort's promotion page on 29 October 2026 — eggs, an omelette station, a benny station, yogurt and fruit; dine-in only, not on statutory holidays, and described as limited-time.
Tap 25 Sports Bar
Tap 25 sits in the main casino and describes itself as the choice for sports fans, with big screens, draft beer, a Tap Platter, a Tap Loaded Burger and a prime rib dinner. The home page adds that you can watch live hockey from the Twin Rinks. No reservations are taken; walk in.
| Service | Hours |
|---|---|
| Food | Daily 5:00 am–1:00 am |
| Breakfast | Mon–Fri 5:00–11:30 am; Sat–Sun 5:00 am–12:00 pm |
| Bar | Daily 9:00 am–2:00 am; drinks finished by 3:00 am |
Which one, when
An early flight: Tap 25, from 5 am. A Saturday with children: the weekend buffet at The Kitchen, then the pool. Friday or Saturday evening with a group: The Kitchen's buffet from 4 pm. A Sunday: note that The Kitchen's full service starts only at 4 pm, while the morning buffet runs until 2 pm.
The resort's Bed & Breakfast Package includes one full breakfast per guest per night at either restaurant, so check which you would rather use before you arrive.
