Disgusting country fried steak
Carla N.

This was the only restaurant to eat breakfast at before we checked out of the hotel on 12/21 & headed home. Both hubby & I were hungry. We had seen on the breakfast menu they had biscuits & gravy. I was craving biscuits & gravy so we ate here. We were seated right away. The place was really busy, both inside & outside on the patio. It didn't seem like there were enough servers. We kept waiting on our server until finally someone, I'm guessing the manager, came & took our order. Our server checked on us once after he took our order & we were waiting on our food, & that was it. We both got iced teas. The tea was very strong. We like are tea strong, but it was so strong I put some of my water in it. Hubby ordered scrambled eggs, a side of sausage & a side of biscuits & gravy. The biscuits & gravy are only 1 biscuit split in half. I ordered the country fried steak, no eggs & it comes with hash browns. I also ordered a side of biscuits & gravy, thinking hubby would help me. Hubby didn't even finish his biscuit & gravy because it was so bad. The biscuit was dry & the gravy had no flavor. Adding salt & pepper didn't help. He always finishes all of his food. My country fried steak was not good. I took 2 bites & was done with it. Even the hash browns weren't good. They were little crispy on the outside, but the inside was not crispy at all. They were like eating shredded potatoes that were barely cooked. Horrible service & horrible breakfast food!

Fried Rice with shrimp and Chicken.
Day V.

The service was great. The server was on top of our care. We came in, and my 2 littles were really excited, and they were so happy with their food. For picky eaters this was great! I had the fried rice with shrimp and chicken. It was DELICIOUS! I absolutely loved it. The wings and burger were so fresh and juicy. I highly recommend taking advantage of the fresh sushi! The ambiance was clean and quiet, reminded me like a 90's Dennys. It was definitely worth it!

My Dad and I came here for dinner last night. We sat downstairs in a booth. Service was fast and friendly. My dad enjoyed his club looking sandwich and I liked my Kung pao chicken with chow mein. The margarita was good and they have N/A beer, which was a plus.

Food was ok. Not great. Hostess was annoyed when we asked to sit outside. Service was slow.

Sushi menu and order form.  You will need to ask for it.

I greatly miss the Wandering Horse Buffet but this turned out to be a wonderful place to fill that void in my heart. While not a buffet, they serve a diverse mix of cuisines that should satisfy most cravings. For them not being a true Asian restaurant, they have really good Asian dishes and sushi (if you are craving that). Their sushi menu is not posted online and you will have to ask for it dining in. I didn't know they served sushi until my sister told me from her previous visits. They do automatically charge a 22% gratuity for parties 6 or more - just a heads up. Service was excellent for my visit and was a lovely place for our Sunday brunch.

Wonton soup
Elicia N.

Great, friendly and attentive service! I came over for dinner below a show. The wonton soup was good. Didn't love the pork but the shrimp and wontons were great, broth was great. The beef and rice plate I modified was great! I did without peppers and sauce and just dipped into soy sauce. Loved it. And Paul's service is fabulous!

My husband and I came here for a late night bite after our concert. The service was not great, they are understaffed, we waited a while for our nachos so we ended up asking them to box up our other food to go. Their food is good and their portions are very large. Hopefully they can get more staff to help the busy demand of the casino. We had ordered their nachos, chow mein, fried rice, mongolian beef, and patty melt.

Menu

Service with a smile! The service was great and sincere. It's a nice place one floor down from the main casino floor. Spacious with plenty of booths and tables. Water with ice was served right after I sat down. Layla was my server - such a friendly person. I ordered a small bite - bone-in wings with mango habanero sauce (it was more sweet than hot but still good). As you can see from the picture - not really a small bite (maybe if intended for two people). Lots of other things on the menu - salads like chicken Caesar salad and others. Big bites (full entrees) and desserts. Everything on the menu sounds good and the food I noticed being served looked good (heard no complaints). I am in town for a few more days, I think I will go back and try one of the breakfast plates (served all day).

I'll keep it short and simple. This was my vegetable chow mein. White onions and green onions!

Diane and I just returned from a 30-day, 8,372 mile road trip across and around the United States from Redlands, California to Dover, Delaware and back. The principal goal was to see before I die as many of the ten remaining states that I have not visited before. When we departed, only ten states remained. Now just three are left: North Carolina, South Carolina, and Vermont. We tried to knock off the Carolinas on this trip but were blocked in that pursuit by the wrath of Hurricanes Helena and Milton. Our first dinner on the trip was spent here, our initial overnight stop, at the Talking Stick Resort, I enjoyed a fresh Rainbow Roll while Diane had a very good Shrimp Tempura. And we both ordered a hot Bowl of Wor Wonton Soup. I also had an entree of Mongolian Beef with White and Green Onions and Steamed White Rice. The meat was a little tough but everything else was fine. Service was good. And the meal was filling. XXX-1/2 overall!

Just HALF of the triple decker club and there was a bucket of fries too!
Mike B.

Went with a group of about 17, so we were seated outside with heaters, so not bad. Service was decent considering the size of the group and the only negative thing is they could only split the bill into groups. Food was actually better than expected. I had a chicken burger and got the onion rings as a substitution for fries and there was enough for at least 3 people! My wife got the triple decker club, ate half and we split the other half for lunch the next day.

Boneless wings - Golden BBQ & Asian BBQ
Joe R.

I had never been to Blue Coyote Cafe and, while many casino restaurants I've been to are subpar, this place was a pleasant surprise! The restaurant was very clean, away from the noise, and kind of a nice little hidden spot. The waitress, Katie, was extremely kind and attentive, and the food was delicious. I got the wings - both the golden and Asian BBQ - and had a couple bites of my wife's sushi, which was also delicious. We would happily come back to the Blue Coyote Cafe.

Came here yesterday Monday mid-morning. We were seated right away. There were 5 other tables that were seated. We got to our table and the menus came quickly along with water. Our server a sweet gal came over to us and took our drink order. Drinks came out quickly. We looked over the food menu and we noticed the dishes were very reasonably priced. So we decided to order some noodles, pork and crispy shrimp tempura along with a nice salad. When we received our food we took noticed it was a very big portion. I must say everything tasted very good. I enjoyed the shrimp tempura which cave with a sauce. When we return we will be coming back here again. I can try more delicious food. Come here if you're at the Talking Stick because there are not a lot of places open in the day. This restaurant has also a sushi menu (we weren't offered that menu).

Last night, we ordered from Parlay and when my husband picked up the food he saw a 10z ribeye for steak and eggs on the brunch menu. Before trying the food, he already decided to get their breakfast in the morning. We got an ahi Salad, some southwest spring rolls, and a chicken sandwich. All were good. The egg rolls and the sauce that came with them were awesome. Today, after my surgery - Husband ordered the steak and eggs that came with potatoes and toast. It's 10oz ribeye, for only $25 bucks. We knew it would be a thin cut, but in today's economy!, still an awesome price for all of that. He asked for medium rare. I ordered a burger (I forget which kind; I was high from surgery) cooked medium. Both the steak and burger were cooked beyond well done. Beyond. My husband NEVER returns food. But, he told the server when he came by to check on us. The server was super cool. He brought the steak back. I hadn't said anything about the burger yet. I didn't have the energy and I think I was still chewing my first bite while half asleep. The steak was taking a good while to come back. Server said the cook KEPT ON over cooking the steak. , idk how many steaks he ruined before he decided on the one we should get. It was a 3/4 10oz ribeye. Should be cooked 2-3 minutes on each side. Server finally brought a new steak out. It was blue rare. Some bites were edible, but husband was iffy. The rest of the steak was still raw. Server came back and we let him know. He was in agreement and apologized. At that point I let him know the burger was also super well done. It was almost funny since again, surgery high. The server didn't charge us for the steaks and I think he compensated us for my husband's Bloody Mary too. His eggs and potatoes were fine. My fries were perfect. Ngl.. we may go back tonight since it's close to the hotel and they have a chocolate ganache cake I craved before I knew it was on the menu. Hopefully the chef making the steaks is not also the baker I will update the review to report whether or not the cake gets overcooked lol. 1st time experience -Restaurant and other food is decent. Possible new cook ruining steaks: needs a lesson Pic shared is the steak we laughed about taking home to finish cooking. It's been in the fridge so it doesn't look as raw as it did earlier.

It feels suspiciously like a trick. Like maybe you round that corner and three guys steal your wallet. But trust the process... because apparently this little side quest unlocks some fantastic food. Everything we had was delicious. Even the freaking carrots were good. CARROTS. Crunchy, flavorful, properly cooked carrots that somehow had me voluntarily reaching for more vegetables instead of just tolerating them until the meat arrived. Speaking of meat... I got the bison meatloaf, and it was fantastic. Eating it made me feel like I'd wandered into a scene from Dances with Wolves. One minute I'm majestically riding across the plains alongside the buffalo, feeling connected to nature and contemplating man's relationship with the wilderness... the next minute I'm putting the buffalo in my mouth. Circle of life. My wife's salmon was excellent. My kid's steak was cooked perfectly. My sister got the chicken and liked it enough to take the leftovers home, which is really the ultimate restaurant compliment. Plenty of food tastes good at the table. Food that earns valuable refrigerator real estate has accomplished something. But the absolute star for me was the Old Fashioned. Perfectly made... and sitting there with a proper giant ROUND scube. Immediate bonus points. If you're serving an Old Fashioned over a bunch of sad little refrigerator cubes, we've already started our relationship on shaky ground. Oliver's understood the assignment. I ordered another. Then perhaps another. History gets slightly fuzzy, which is generally a sign that the Old Fashioneds were doing excellent work. The staff was also fantastic and happily made a few adjustments to menu items for our group without making it feel like we'd requested amendments to the Constitution. Great food, excellent drinks, accommodating staff, and vegetables somehow worth mentioning in a Yelp review. Highly recommend. Just remember... when the front door sends you around the corner, don't panic. You've been chosen for the quest.

Our server, who was also the bartender, was great. He was attentive, friendly, and made the experience better. I had specifically made a reservation for the main dining room, but we were seated in the booth right next to the bar, which didn't feel like the main dining room I had reserved. Not a huge deal on its own, but it was the first of several little disappointments. The appetizers were actually excellent. We had the wagyu pigs in a blanket and tempura green beans, and both were really good. Our four guests had mixed opinions on the entrees, but the biggest disappointment was the portion sizes of some of the dishes that are heavily promoted on the restaurant's social media. The chicken Francese and fish & chips, in particular, were comically smaller than they appear in the restaurant's photos. The difference was significant enough that it felt misleading, and honestly left me feeling differently about the restaurant as a whole. Maybe we caught it on an off night, but when a restaurant creates such a strong expectation through its food and presentation online, the actual experience needs to live up to it. I really wanted to love this place, which is probably why the letdowns stood out so much.
