Wayland, IN
If you’re up to date with the food & beverage and entertainment scene of West Michigan, you’ve at the very least heard rumors of a Gun Lake Casino expansion. In reality, they’ve been expanding for years, moving through various phases. Currently, the casino which first opened its doors in 2011, is in the midst of its fifth expansion phase, and what that means for its food & beverage operation is significant.
Brant Coulter, the Director of Food & Beverage, joined the team about five months ago to help spearhead the transition to Phase 5. With 16 years of cheffing and directing food & beverage in casinos, he says that one of the joys of the casino world is that “you’ve got a city’s worth of restaurants under one roof.” This rings true at Gun Lake Casino, with a variety of options such as a Grab & Go, the Harvest Buffet (Chef Balal Darwich), 131 Sports Bar & Lounge (Chef Andy DeKam), CBK (Chef Nick Aslanian), and Shkodé Chophouse (Chef Christian Madsen). These guest-facing restaurants are already in operation, but the upcoming expansion will introduce Lucky Dragon Noodle Bar, offering authentic noodle dishes and Asian specialties, along with baccarat pits and private event space.
