'The entire restaurant will be completely redesigned, with much more open space, and all on one level,' said Bill Marsh, general manager of Shooting Star Casino. The restaurant renovation project was designed by the Cuningham Group, which also designed the restaurant at the tribe's casino in Bagley, and redesigned the Whispering Winds restaurant at the Mahnomen casino, which is now the Smoke Barbeque and Brew.

Guests can also expect an all-new menu created by executive chef Mark Cowgill. Once complete in mid-July, the new Traditions Buffet will feature modern amenities, an added 950 square feet, and a redesigned floor plan. On April 18, Traditions Buffet closed for an extensive renovation project. Especially when they don't even know WHO the GENERAL MANAGER is!!!! As one of their personnel told me.The Shooting Star Casino, Hotel and Event Center in Mahnomen has kicked off the first of several property upgrade and renovation projects, all of which will be underway this summer. As far as customer service goes the management at Shooting Star needs a lot of training. I have stayed at several casinos and never have I been treated so shabby as I was treated at the Shooting Star. So now over a week later I have received NOTHING, not even a letter of apology for the way I was treated. So what do I get now, but we will give you another buffet coupon to use, (which was crazy because as I told them we were leaving this morning). I explained how frustrated and humiliated I had felt when even their shift manager just ignored me, that I refused to go back into their casino that evening. So the next day I spoke to a woman and also Gary the promotional manager who told me that no there was no expiration date on the coupon and they should have honored it. They called the shift manager who also told me it had expired and then just walked away. I showed the person that there is no expiration date on this coupon and in fact it said it could be used (SUN-Thurs). So when I decided to use the buffet coupon on the night of our second stay I was told it had expired. Both did not have any expiration date info on them. Had received two coupons one for staying one for buffet.
