My partner and I were at Casino Rama for a Joan Jett concert (see my review) and maybe because of the loud music the plethora of mullets or the fact that we were famished and at a themed casino we decided to find an ‘all you can eat buffet’ restaurant. We came across the Weirs by accident and i spotted their sign of serving breakfast from Midnight to 3pm. Now i love breakfast foods so this was a good sign but we were still keen on finding a buffet and it was still a couple of hours before midnight so no breakfast food was being served.
Unfortunately or maybe fortunately by the time we did find the ‘all you can eat buffet’ it was after 10 pm and it was already closing down. To our charging most of the other restaurants were also closing down by that point or weren’t what we were looking for so we headed back to the Weirs as it’s open 24 hours a day. We figured that would be the best place to get a similar style of food as to what we were looking for at a buffet – something filling – a little bit diner or pub like – reasonably priced and that is exactly what we got.
The Onion soups we both ordered were delicious and the bread rolls were nice and warm perfect for a cold winter night.
I ordered their Signature Burger with chips (crisps) and my partner ordered British style Fish and Chips (fries) – my burger was very well dressed and it was a decent burger though i prefer my meat patty to be more flavourful and juicy – my partner really liked his fish though the dish came with only one small piece of Cod. The Chips and Crisps were both freshly cut and fried on site and this came through in the taste though yet again a little under salted.

We had a couple of Sodas plus a couple of Coffees and the bill came to be under $60 with taxes plus tip which was very reasonable considering we were at a casino resort.

• 6 reviews of Cedar 'We were too lazy too find a restaurant in Orillia during a trip to Casino Rama to see Whoopi Goldberg, so we decided to eat in one of their restaurants. It actually wasn't too bad, but not great either. My soup of the day was a sort of minestrone with corn and sausage and was quite good, even though I normally don't like corn.

All in all the food was good with a good value, the chefs know what they are doing; however, the food is cooked for the masses that frequent the casino or as a friend who works on a cruise ship once described this kind of flavouring as cooking for Old White people in Florida – less salt – less spice – no one is dissatisfied…

The Weirs is one of ten restaurants at Casino Rama and one of the few that actually is open 24 hours a day.

AWESOME TIP: We learned in our wonderings that the beef used for steaks in the expensive restaurants at the Casino site is the same beef they use in all the other restaurants.

Casino Rama is a large casino, hotel and entertainment complex located in the town of Rama, Ontario on the reserve land of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. It is jointly owned by the Chippewas of Rama First Nation and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, with operation of the casino contracted to Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited.

Casino Rama is Ontario's only First Nations 'commercial casino' (as opposed to a lesser class, charity casino) and the largest First Nations casino in Canada. The casino also includes restaurants, a hotel and spa, and an entertainment complex which regularly hosts ticketed shows (for an additional charge).

History[edit]

The casino opened on July 31, 1996.

In 2007, a group of people, including several of the casino's employees, were arrested after police investigated a $2 million scam involving cheating at baccarat.^[1]

In 2013, Casino Rama underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation.^[2]

In November, 2016, the resort was the victim of a cyber attack, and financial and personal information about customers was stolen from the company's records.^[3]

Casino Rama has remained closed since March 16, 2020 due to COVID-19 regulations. There has been no announced reopening date.^[4]

Boxing and MMA[edit]

Casino Rama has hosted a number of live boxing events, titled Rumble at Rama. On April 2, 2011, Casino Rama hosted what was promoted as the first sanctioned mixed martial arts (MMA) event in Ontario, taking place 4 weeks before UFC 129 in Toronto.^[6][7] This was not entirely correct, as an MMA event was held in the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation 3 years prior, where Dan Severn defeated Ian Asham in the main event; 7 MMA events were staged before the event at Casino Rama.^[8]In July 2011, it hosted a Bellator Fighting Championships event.
