Still tasty huevos divorciados - although price is now $14 instead of $10. 40 % inflation.

This is a total secret amongst the locals. I've got to admit that I was super hesitant as I drove up in pure darkness. I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say that there was not a streetlamp for at least 10 minutes. The first time, I was just about to turn around when a parking lot full of cars suddenly appeared. I couldn't believe that this casino was full of gamblers when the more famous casinos such as agua caliente and fantasy springs had noticeably empty parking garages as I drove by on the freeway. Anyways, they check your ID before you enter so children are not allowed. Tucked away in the back, is a no-frills all you can eat seafood buffet on Friday and Saturday nights for $30. They give you one lobster tail at a time and it's definitely the best way to get your money's worth. The rest is a typical buffet with nothing else to rave about. I've never gambled here so this is strictly about the value for the buffet and spreading the local secret! read more

Augustine Casino - All you can eat seafood buffets on Fridays. Yummy! - Casinos Near Me - Coachella, California

I am a casino hound, literally have 25 casinos within a 90 mile radius of my house. Went to this place, Augustine Casino in Coachella area. Absolutely, positively the tightest slot machines I have ever played. Forget winning, you will be lucky to get any kind of a bonus on these machines. There are no table games here. The only reason I didn't give this place 1 star is because the bartenders were very good. Never again. read more

Just a nice place to go!! People are friendly,service is GREAT!! We love Joel, Momma, as we call her sunshine (always smiling) and George from security and many others. read more

Absolute the worst casino, go to spotlight, Agua Palm Springs this place sucks ass they don't pay jackpots, when they do they're small. Place is a joke read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE & WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANOTHER SPOT.... Stopped off here to get out of the heat driving back home to San Diego. When we arrived, we walked past 1 door with 1 security guard & towards the side door. I have a service dog so I was making sure he didn't need to use the restroom before walking in. When we where finally ready to walk in 2 security guards opened the door & questioned me, but not my friend. They checked my ID & said they needed to run a report on my ID, but couldn't explain what the report was. When I asked for his supervisor he said he was the supervisor & yet he couldn't explain what they where running my ID for. From there I was followed by security & after about 30 minutes, I found the casino Hostes & said something about security & how they treated me like I was a criminal & that what they where doing was discrimination. I didn't notice another security person the rest of the time I was there which was while sitting there eating the $5 burger special they had going on. I did see the security guard that said he was in charge & asked for his business card. He said to give him a minute & he would be right back with it. I sat there a good 30 minutes waiting for him to never show up. I spoke to the hostes & told her i was still waiting & she called the supervisor & come to find out the guard i encountered had lied as another person came out to meet ne & that was not the guy who said he was the supervisor of security on duty. Horrible 1st experience there & if you go with your service dog you will know what it feels like to be a subject in a police investigation so expect to have your ID run against some report that security can't give a name for & for them not to give you their information after telling the Hostes you don't feel comfortable there & that the security there has made you feel unwelcome & like a criminal. At least she got them to stop following us around while we ate & left to find a better casino in the area. By far the worst experience I've ever had at a casino & would NEVER step foot in here again because of this experience! read more

The place is very nice clean and the people are friendly. The reason that I give them a three star is because they used to have a killer buffet there. That was really good and they took it out and put in some fast food places that are expensive and not that good as I have tried them they need to get it together and get the buffet back if they want to make the money a lot of people used to go there just for the buffet. read more

They offer a food special and then don't let you get it. Drinks are expensive.good people but absolutely awful casino. No table games .. I want to make it a favorite place to go locally, but cant read more

700 loose slots? Really? what a marketing gimmick to entice people i don't believe anything they say on their website if this place was really all that don't you think more people would come here than the other nearby casinos? the food is good il give them that but far as winning goes i don't think gamble else where read more

Nice quiet casino. Not many people here and the slots do seem to let you play. You can win here. The games are fair and security will leave you alone. read more

Solid 3.5 Stars! The recently remodeled Augustine Casino looks very great both inside and outside. It is located in Coachella; somewhat far from anything else. This casino continues to make gains but still needs to make improvements to compete with some of the bigger more well-established Indian casinos in the valley. They have a couple of short rows of table games, several digital slot machines, and a very small high roller slot area. Some of the older style machines are simply just that; older. Regardless, there is a game for everyone. The all you can eat lobster/seafood buffet in CAFE 54 was very good. There was a period of time where we had to wait for items to be replaced, but not a huge issue. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced, and the bar is well-decorated. We thought the staff members were welcoming and friendly. Augustine Casino is a great place for locals or when you are staying nearby. read more

It would be hard to find a better juicier hamburger, french fries and Coke for $12 (Wed. - Sun. 1 to 6). Absolutely delicious and the fish tacos are super good too! Highly recommend this restaurant within the casino. The menu is pretty extensive so I haven't done it justice but just know, you can't go wrong here. Also, we had the nicest waiter!!! Made our day. read more

Small casino. Friendly, not busy. Restaurant has small menu but interesting. We go when other places are likely crowded. A ways out of the way, but a pleasant experience. read more

Oh my goodnesses Augustine casino has best vibes!! I was spotting the wheel of fortune slots and hoping to spin the wheel. Well, when I thought I lost it all the machine kept winning, winning, and wining. Unfortunately I was served with a 1099 because my winnings were barely over 1200 dollars. I'll take it. Come here you never know what can happen read more

When this humble little Casino opened years ago, the customer service was top notch, the little cafe actually had really delicious food and it was a great place to game ** Flash Forward to today** Augustine Casino has extremely poor service from the Card Members Club AND the Managers. I've never seen such entitled and rude behavior from ladies in the Hospitality Industry especially in Gaming where people spend hard earned money. If you have an issue while visiting this place, please expect the female managers to react rudely and accusatory towards you, they really need to be retrained in Customer Service. I am extremely disappointed in how Augustine Casino has changed for the worst. read more

Service is great. Smaller casino, friendly staff. Not as hectic as other casinosGreat hamburger deal on Monday and Tuesday burger fries and beer for 8$! read more

I just don't like the security system here I've seen some women get their bag searched and not others it's not right to pick certain people just to search because of how some of the staff fell or see them as every other casino lets my family and friends and myself be and there should only be see something suspicious should be seen more than just picking on people it's rude instead there should be a special scanner to check bags safely and it'll show the people can see and feel safer and treated respectfully. read more

This casino was a pleasure! No smoking and very clean. Complete opposite of Spotlight 29, which is almost full smoking and reeks. Employees at Augustine Casino were very pleasant. We will return anytime we are in the area! read more

Not much has changed since last review except now I would give it one star. The multiple reasons would fill a long chapter and cramp my fingers. Good luck to you guys with your big new building. I won't ever be back. Too bad, used to be my favorite place. read more

I don't what happened to them when I first started going to their casino I'll used to win some here some there the last 6 months have been horrible I have lost a lot money and I tell myself I'll give them another chance and nothing and the only winners are those that gamble big people are nice but that's about it going to start going to other casinos and back to Vegas. read more

Went back to Augustine Casino and Paul, the casino host, took good care of me! After all I went through, after the power outage, he made sure I was very happy! I can't thank Paul enough for all he did to make my visit an enjoyable one. read more

The reason I was hitting jackpots was because I was playing $100 a push machines, let's be honest at the end of the day I lost over $10,000.00 and you guys took for ever to pay out the jackpots which meant I was sitting and waiting for ever to get my money so I could continue to play! I put $2000 in a machine play 5 min hit a $1200 jackpot and sit around for 20-30 minutes waiting for my game to be reset and get my $1200 so I could put it back into another machine. At no point was there any service what so ever! Did a manager come over and say hi offer me lunch or anything? No! When a customer comes in and drops $10,000 gets crap service and has to pay $5 for a hot dog at the end it's safe to say he won't return.... read more

Forget Jackelope Ranch of other Palm Desert restaurants... Augustine Casino's Cafe is the best value for your dollar. The seafood buffet is $31 & has everything your mouth desires. After hours (10pm) is also delicious. I ordered a ribeye steak .... delicious for only $14. The casino slots claim to pay better than nearby casinos. They have $3 blackjack during week ... where else do u see that? Crowd is typically locals ... not as good as Agua but better than Spotlight / Fantasy. I'm definitely going back read more

Luxury resorts LOOKOUT! There is an amazing Chef at this humble place. No need for fancy frills with decor or plate presentation to win you over. Flavor, value and a very satisfied palate for your dollar is what you get! Coming from the hotel world of Four Seasons and Omni Hotels, I know good food! Mom and I come to mainly to eat as our favorites are WAY better than what we find in the hotel restaurant. SERIOUSLY! If you can manage a casual atmosphere, you will be thrilled. My favorites: Shrimp Tacos WOW!, Salmon Dinner SO YUMMY, Beef Brisket (Oh My), Cobb Salad (PERFECT), Sunday Menudo (G-MOM STYLE), and I tried the Ceviche (HEAVENLY HEALTHY). There is a seriously downfall about dining here though...I don't earn any players club points. With the money I spend just on dining, I would probably have the highest card level!!! But I guess I make it up with the incredibly reasonable prices.. When there are locals just coming to eat, it's got to be good. Like I said... Watch out fancy hotels; this place is got it! Oh, I forgot to add they have an incredible deal on steak and lobster on the weekends. I've never had it but my mom and my sister said it's wonderful. Too busy and stuck on my shrimp tacos. They're so good it's hard to step away read more

Very ghetto casino. Lots of vagrants and low lifes inside. Very unsafe to go to. Security accused my mom of stealing a drunk guys 1.70$ on a machine. They followed my mom around until the machine was checked and saw she didnt play the money. They had accused her of theft and did not apologize when they were proven wrong. Will never go back and highly recommend to avoid this casino. You can get way more entertainment and better quality service at any of the other 9 casinos in town. read more

The front bar service is absolutely awful! I ordered a drink from a young man and waited 10 minutes. It was obvious he didn't want to serve an elderly woman. Never experienced that here before. Date: 7/25/21. read more

I am updating my review of the casino because the general manager took the time to address the issue that caused my original bad review. He did this with genuine sincerity and I retract my original view because it has been resolved by learning more about their procedure and why the incident occured. While I still don't know what "needing a permit" requires, I will visit the casino again to see how it works. read more

Hi! 3 stars because of the inconsistency in general staff hospitality. Regarding friendliness, it's just hit or miss with security and custodial staff. Intimidation tactics don't work on me but I'm sure that those same attitudes will drive away some customers. Slot staff is almost always upbeat and congenial even when busy. Players club staff always has a smile and ready to help out and answer questions. Deli staff, again, is a hit or miss depending on mood or situation. Deli cooks are awesome in skill and attitude. Table dealers have always been friendly and helpful. I haven't tried the Cafe 54 yet. This is my fifth time here since the remodel and I like the coziness and decor but not the inadequate ventilation. Give them a try and post a review of your I'll update soon. 1-7-2019 Update: Happy New Year to all! Here at Augustine over the past few months, there have been many more cordial and friendly encounters with staff than not. Security seems to have a movement toward a more positive culture. I tried the buffet and it was pretty good and the entire staff was very helpful and friendly. Things are looking up at Augustine! One more star for the effort and positive changes that I've experienced. I'll update soon. read more

Very sanitized casino.I see staff constantly whipping and sanitizing machines and seats.Problem is good luck winning..been gambling for 15 years and never seen slots as tight as these...if you like losing this the place for you. read more

Before the new expention Augustain's Casino was a fun place to dine, gamble. Cafe 54 went and raised their Monday/Thursday night buffet price from $12.95 to $14.95 Not worth the money. Not when the prime rib is (always cold) poor service, management out of touch with reality. The casino floor for starter's (Where is the Fun?) Can't find it here with total unforgiving slots. Video Poker my favorite leaves you with no good play, and nothing in the way of (4) of a kind. Facebook: I was reading other reviews on this place, they we're for the most part bad. Don't ever try to tell the truth to the casino about cold food or anything. The Indians on this tribe think they know it all making any kind of helpful criticism out if the question. This is a business that serves the public and good helpful criticism can help a business grow. I would never waste my time at this place again money drown the drain with constant cold food, no way to win on the gambing floor. I have a good friend who sits on the city council in Palm Desert who was banded for helpful criticism but after talking to management a half dozen times it all went on deaf ears. "SHAME ON YOU AUGUSTINE'S CASINO" Not even an apology for your rude emdivors take the hint and clean up your act. No real community Indian tribe would do such a thing. I'm telling everyone at work, personal friend's to stay away from your casino. 1 Star needs to be -10 100% Awful! read more

We had a lovely indoor eating experience and the prices are reasonably priced. Great food and awesome service.

Bad enough that it's the middle of nowhere, a boring square box in design, and the worst -- the cigarette smoke is thick and fills up your nasal cavity upon entry. Quite possibly, the worst casino I've ever been to. Best parts: 1. Nice service by all 2. Steals on drinks at the bar. 3. Cafe 54 -- lobster buffet featured on Friday and Saturday http://www.yelp.com/biz/caf%C3%A9-54-coachella-2?hrid=vrnZvMU7jfbQn-ckWR3cjA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) read more

AWESOME casino. Small compared to the other "big guys" in the area. Though much smaller, this is THE place to be for a good time AND ACTUALLY winning a little cash. They even offer hourly drawings to 5 guests at a time of 100.00 each from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday's. THAT, is a lot of winners! ALL the newer machines are here, the employees are are ALL very nice (Security Guard opens the front door for EVERY single guest!), NOT overly crowded, clean, air works VERY good son you are NOT suffoctaed by smokers and PLENTY of parking. There is a small grill at one corner of the casino which offers some VERY tasty food (FRIES are AWESOME!!!). I ahd NO idea there was a buffet until I read the other reviews. Restrooms are clean, carpeting is clean and machines are clean. HIGHLY recommend this casino. You WILL have fun! read more

I loved this place! VERY busy though. Drinks are reasonable and so are their table games! Sunday through Thursday they have $3/hit blackjack tables and $5 on the weekend. $10 of free slot play or table games upon signing up for their players card! Tons of promotions! Almost gave the casino 5 stars, but it was so warm inside the casino that we were sweating. Sweating, drinking, and gambling don't mix! We had to cut our evening short because of the temperature inside the casino! :-( Oh yeah, I was given a free deck of cards just for visiting the casino! I love free stuff! read more

Really enjoyed this casino until a manager came up to me and claimed that I owed the casino money because they caught one of their dealers who made a mistake and I therefore owed them money. I asked to see the recording they claimed showed their dealer paying me out when they shouldn't have but they said they cannot show the videos to customers...... I also pointed out how it should have been the dealer's mistake for paying me on a hand that they claim I didn't win but they said no, it was on my dime and I couldn't leave until I paid them what I owed. Quite literally the worst customer service I've ever encountered. read more
