    Double Cheeseburger
    Oliver P.

    This place is located inside the Pechanga Casino's food court! If you're craving a burger, this place is the spot! We got a couple Double Cheeseburger's and I loved them because they come with two BIG burger patties unlike the tiny burger patties you get from some fast food chains lol Fries were good too! If you want to take a break from gambling and want a burger... definitely hit up American Classics!

    Double Cheeseburger w thick patties.

    It's 2am, your stomach's growling louder than a slot machine jackpot at Pechanga, and you think, "Well, everything's probably closed." WRONG!!! Plot twist! American Classics (food court area) is open 24/7, baby! They've got all the late-night MVPs: burgers, dogs, fries, and even a Philly Cheesesteak that probably moonlights as a cuddle buddy. I went full T-Rex mode and ordered a double cheeseburger. Now, was it a flavor explosion straight outta Guy Fieri's playbook? Nah.... but did it hit the late-night craving bullseye? Absolutely!! The patties were thicc w two Cs... juicy-ish, but needed a saucy pep talk to get to their full potential (adding extra sauce did the trick). Fries were solid, but listen.... this place is a now or never kinda deal.... fresh off the line is the way to go (eat the fries right away, they're great fresh). Reheated? That's a culinary misdemeanor!!! So next time it's 2am and you're hangry at Pechanga, skip the drama.... go where the grease meets the need!!!

    Chili Cheese Fries

    Not Crispy Chili Cheese Fries! I got the Chili Cheese Fries. They were a pretty good portion for $8. The fries are not crispy, they're soft, but they're not uncooked. There was plenty of cheese, but the chili was 80% beans. It wasn't fun to eat after realizing it was almost all beans. The chili is almost flavorless, but luckily they gave us a ton of ketchup packets and napkins. The employees were kind. There was a huge line for American Classics, but they were never rude or mean. The food court can become very full, but there's never any trouble finding seating or tables. It can look like it will be difficult, but it's not. The tables and seats are also always clean because there's an employee that cleans and sweeps the food court. I wouldn't eat here again, but I'm willing to try the other options in the food court!

    This is located inside Pechanga Casino and Resort. It's one of the places that's open 24/7 at the food court area. Specially if you're hungry when everything is closed or early in the morning for your breakfast. It was early in the morning and I wanted something to eat. They have breakfast burritos, eggs, sandwiches and burgers. Out of everything for the breakfast, the breakfast burrito looked like it would have been decent, so I got it with sausage added and made it a meal with their house fries. It was what I expected, just a bland burrito with some simple pico with no flavor, and some ketchup for the house fries. I don't think it was microwaved but I would be surprised as it tasted like it would be a pre made one. Either way when you're hungry and it's your only option it is what it is. I've had their classic burger once before too and I remember I felt the same way that it's just food to fill you up.

    Philly cheese steak was delicious! Fasr service and food court vibes. Definitely made a good choice of selecting this. XD

    My favorite place in the food hall!

    Food halls are hit and miss. I've tried a few places here in Pechanga's & this place is my fave! Got the loaded fries. Came out super hot and ... LOADED! lol. Delish. Service was fast & the person who helped me was very friendly! Lots of seating! They have beer bottles for sale, and they have those cool soda machines (flavorings, sodas, etc.).

    Burger and fries

    Was surprised by this place, expected it to be small and not the best but it was average. It was a large portion and I couldn't finish it. Burger patty is thick and comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, spread, ketchup, and mustard, cheese and fries. Fries were great. Love the flavor, burger was okay. Quality could have been better but was happy with the size of it.

    Did you win $500 on roulette? Did you lose $1k on roulette? Celebrate or cry with a cheesesteak! This (pictured) meal at 2:30 AM is the way to go. It is life-changing and -saving. It will rejuvenate your soul. Plus it's one of the few locations that is open 24 hours, for all occasions. Sure it's in a good court but don't let that take away from the greatness that is a cheesesteak and fries.

    The Chicago hotdog is almost the same with polish hotdogs except for the condiments. Best alternative for people that eats super late and all restaurants close. Ate here 1-16-2023. The next day. We stayed late again and the we realized Pechanga Cafe is open. Just a bit of a walk towards the hotel proper. Food is great! Located at the food court of Pechanga.

    This spot is open 24 hours, their chili cheese fries is probably the best , their hamburger is great... great location in the casino

    They gave us these ketchup packets for our onion rings. They were stuck together with what appeared to be hot sauce. Simply unacceptable.

    We used to be regulars at the Pechanga Resort. Now we come periodically. One thing I can say is being consistent is the total disregard of proper guest service at the Pechanga food court. I have made at least two other Yelp reviews regarding this place, and both of them were not very favorable. You would think with all the money that this place brings in, they could at least hire people that you what they were doing. So let's get started.... The customer interaction between the counter Personnel at any of these restaurants, is completely unacceptable. The counter people have the personality of a wet bath mat. They don't smile, they are typically rude, and they really have zero idea of what customer service is about. Much more training is in order for these people. Tonight we ordered our meal and ask for a side of onion rings. When we went to pick up the meal at the counter and ask for a side of thousand island dressing and decided that dressing to dip our onion rings, we were told that each of those costs $1.09!! Seriously??! With all the money that this place takes in you are going to nickel and dime your customers for side condiments? Unbelievable. How about we move out of the stone ages and stop having every restaurant scream out the ticket number for pickup?? How about we installed a PA system, or maybe invest in some of those pager type units that vibrate and have blinking lights to notify you when your order is ready? It's really ghetto to have people screaming across the food court, so you can pick your food up. It must be a coincidence, but Pechanga must do their best to pick the stupidest people to work these counters. They don't know how to take an order, they get the orders wrong, and again they are just not trained on how to properly address a guest. So maybe it's really the management who is lacking intelligence department because they have not taken the time to train their service staff. If at all possible, try not to eat here. The food is decent, nothing to write home about. The Chinese fast food place constantly is out of food, and the remnants in the pans are disgusting looking. If you do eat there and you have a terrible experience I invite you to post your own Yelp review. One of these days it will get through with thick heads of the Pechanga management, and they will realize what the real shoddy operation they are running.

    Messy, messy, messy!

    Prices are pretty decent compared to their other food joint neighbors (ahem the fried chicken place)...the wait was basically nothing as there was only one person ahead of us oddly on a Friday night. Our food was relatively quick and the burgers were huge. My Hawaiian burger was pretty flavorless and upon inspecting the patty, I can't tell if it's legit hamburger meat or something synthetic. It was messy to eat, the dressing had melted everywhere, but their fries were delicious. I don't think I would return, it was just a one time deal and now I can move on to the next eatery in the food court.

    This is one option at what is clearly a food court. The food here is hamburgers and hot dogs, along with phillystyle cheese and steak sandwiches. Plus the usual french fries, onion rings, and a few salads. Your other options at this food court are asian/chinese food, Italian food, Mexican food, etc. The burger and fries were excellent. Fresh, great size and portions, and wonderful pricing for what you get. The other places looked great, especially the Panda Express copy here, but if you're in the mood for burgers, this is a great choice for "American Classic" cuisine.

Their pop-up restaurant moves around to various venues, like wineries and breweries. The service was very good, and Chef Taylor (owner) and his staff were super friendly and open to my feedback. We tried the Old Yeller ($14), a Wagyu beef hotdog served with chips and a sweet pickle. We also tried a bowl of their Wagyu Homestead Chili ($12), topped with cheddar cheese and jalapeños. Their menu primarily focuses on Wagyu burgers, but we had eaten a large breakfast, so we just wanted to try something smaller. I enjoyed pairing the chili on my chips with the red wines we were tasting. We enjoyed everything we tried, and I would love to check them out again to try a burger. I recommend that you follow them on IG ("eatparlor") to see where they'll be popping up next.

    Stopped in for the first time ever and got the burger combo…read more Burger, fries, and a drink. Taste wise 9/10 very tasty food, was good. Temperature 10/10 hot and fresh. Burger patty size very thin, maybe all of them are supposed to be super thin like smash burgers? I don't know. Might be back to try a stand alone burger by itself. Got a chocolate shake, taste was good but it was very liquid from the start. More like drinking chocolate milk than a milkshake. Maybe the milk to ice cream ratio was way off. 6/10. Overall I enjoyed it mostly. Will probably try again and give it a second go. Will give the benefit of the doubt based on taste of the food. 4/5, I say worth trying.

    Had to grab the closest veggie burger I could while at the Promenade. I've been here a handful of…read moretimes but thought I'd finally write up a review. In the past, they had a lot more vegan options. I mean, I recall vegan ranch, vegan nuggets, I think there was maybe 4-5 different vegan burgers...now, there's just two. That's not a complaint. I know vegan options have been reduced everywhere and I'm grateful for the few options they still have. I wasn't always the greatest fan of their burgers. I just remember them being dry. Well, they've gotten better in that respect. If I can say anything about the burger I had today, it was juicy. As you can see, the patty is a bit smashed, if you like more of a smashed patty. I'm not crazy about them but it wasn't as smashed as say, Monty's Burger. As they're downsizing their vegan offerings, I noticed they still has a good amount of dairy-free milkshakes, so I had to order one while they're still there. You don't find dairy-free cookies and creme milshakes everyday around here, so that's what I ordered. It was good, it was satisfying, but, if I could make a request: when I think of cookies and cream, well, I think of COOKIES and cream. Chunks of cookies, usually Oreos. Is that weird? The milkshake had the cookies and cream flavor down perfectly, just no actual cookies in the shake-and Oreos are accidentally vegan, so you're safe to add them. As for the restaurant, there's plenty of seating inside and outside. Staff is attentive and friendly. The place was nice and clean. Whether a fan of their burgers or not, this place has always had great fries and a pretty good menu with diverse offerings.

At one point, the server forgot to put in my order, which was fine since we were all full, but it was a bit funny waiting for a burger that wasn't even in the system.

My favorite dish here is the avocado toast or the tomato addiction appetizer. During Christmas they have really tasty cocktails & decorations to make it feel festive/cozy. Downside is the restrooms: only 2 both co Ed & they often smell. So I often wait until we go somewhere else to potty.
