Came on 10-17-2024, very busy night. Place was packed. Laura was our server, she was extremely busy but was the sweetest server ever. On top of everything. Ibis the runner was amazing and quick on her feet, smiling and very professional. Then had the pleasure of meeting the supervisor Samantha, she along with entire staff kept this place running smoothly... Great staff, great teamwork.. and the cooks kept going when they were way overwhelmed.see you soon

I took my son there today and the food was amazing. Hy ordered a simple cheeseburger with French fries, and I had the fish-and-chips. His hamburger was probably the biggest hamburger I've ever seen in my entire life.😁 The waitress was very helpful and brought drinks without even asking for refills. The portions were perfect and the restaurant was very clean,highly recommend.

FYI, this restaurant is located inside of the DESERT DIAMOND CASINO. We tried this restaurant 4x, with three of the orders being compromised and incorrect prior to this last visit of ours! Thank you again to Tonya, she’s responsible for this pleasant visit. Upon arrival she spoke to us and had the Head Chef come over to our table to discuss what we couldn’t eat so that our order was made correctly. That was very appreciated because previously when we relayed that information to the cashier it wasn’t honored and we weren’t accommodated. On their menu they have “spaghetti and meatballs” so instead we came up with Spaghetti with mushrooms, garlic, onion, tomatoes and parsley. They paired with grilled bread toasted with oil. Please keep in mind that marinara had to be used from a separate spare container due to their main supply being used to coat the meatballs it comes with. So if you ever dine in or take out please be specific about how your order is made and be sure to notify them of any possibility of contamination. We had the breaded mushrooms, fried extra crispy. We also had a salad that is not on the menu, we had it custom made. The salad had romaine, tobacco crispy onions, tomatoes, red onions, strawberries and avocado. The salad was also paired with grilled bread toasted in oil. The head Chef verified that everything we consumed was VEGAN. We ordered two unsweetened peach teas which were really good. The food itself this time was a 10/10 but due to the fact that 3 orders was incorrect it got a 2/5 because they need to show more consistency with future orders when we visit the casino! Aside from these options.. you can get fruit, vegetables, fries or a baked potato. The entire casino barely has any vegan options but this meal prepared was the best we’ve had so far. Again, THANK YOU TONYA!

My wife and I ordered steaks. We both asked for them to be cooked medium well but got medium rare and medium. They did take it back but both ended up being cooked well done and tough.

The food and service were excellent; however, the time it took to prepare the "special" (stuffed airline chicken 3 course meal) was a bit much. We didn't get our food for an hour and the excuse was how long it took to prepare the chicken? You'd think they had enough prepped considering it was a special. It was delicious though! We had to take it home so I wasn't able to eat it fresh but those Yukon fries they have are ahmaaaazing so it was kinda worth the wait!
