seafood chowder
Raymond L.

Time for trying Bodines chicken fried steak, well I can tell you the eggs were good, that was the breadiess chicken fried steak I've had so far. Guess I won't be ordering their chicken fried steak again. I also would prefer a more peppery gravy. The biscuit was nice but I never was a hockey puck fan no matter how good it is. The seafood was pretty good I guess, it was okay. The serving staff however were fantastic, they took my order promptly and got my food out to me in a very timely manner and very attentive for any needs I may have wanted.

Potato skins
Inez L.

Went for lunch on a Tuesday and it was pretty crowded, but got seat right a way. Had the potato skins and taco salad with shredded chicken. They were both good, not great. Also ordered a Kettle One Martini with lemon twist, but got a house vodka instead. But the price was good. Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry so it was fine! Overall, it's worth going!

8 oz NY Strip
Valerie A.

We hadn't been to Bodine's in a while, but it is usually decent if not good. Last night was not so much. My mom and I both ordered the 8 oz NY Strip steaks. Our salads were good, fresh lettuce so that was a good start. I was happy when the steak came out because it looked pretty good. But then I tried to cut into it. So so tough! I felt like I was using a plastic knife. I managed to get a little piece off and it was gristly, I tried a couple more times from different parts of the steak but after my third bite I gave up. My mom's was just as bad, I think she managed to saw off two tiny pieces. No one came back to check on us until we were done. We both ate our baked potatoes instead, luckily they were large and well cooked. When our waiter asked if we wanted boxes, we said no and told him how bad the steaks were. He came back with the check, and I looked at it. Full price for both meals. I guess I was expecting some kind of discount? Maybe comp one meal? But nothing. He came back and asked if the check was right and I said, I thought you might have done something about the steak. He said he tried but his manager said that they had been touched, so there was nothing he could do. I was frankly surprised they didn't offer anything, free dessert, a coupon for next time, or even just the manager coming out to talk to us. I'm being generous with two stars because the baked potatoes were good and our waiter was nice.

8/19/25 Had a Great Breakfast. Thanks to the New Chef! Been hoping for a long time that Bodines would get a New One So Happy! Next id like to see some new items added to the menu like maybe a Chef Special?

Chicken taco salad 7.99!
Tiffany H.

Bodines truly has some of the BEST food for a great price. My favorite, by far, is the Taco Salad. Loaded with so much goodness! I prefer the chicken. We always love seeing our favorite bartender, Jose! He makes us feel right at home.

Second steak cut to see middle temperature

I've been a customer of Bodine's for 11 years at this point and have always been impressed. I have brought friends, family, and clients here with excellent service and good food. This time was unfortunately different. Everyone at my table rated their food as a 7/10 due to either lacking flavor or being overcooked. I ordered the 12 ounce New York steak medium rare and even specified more on the rare side. It was more medium to medium well done. No big deal--mistakes happen. I asked our awesome server Sebastian to please have it remade. Next thing I know, the manager Naomi came out with a very snappy attitude at me saying "that is the definition of medium rare, but I can have them remake it." I apologized and said I would really appreciate it. The next steak they bring out is notably smaller than the first one so I took a picture of it to prove how small it is and asked the server to please correct the bill to reflect the smaller steak. Then I cut into it AND IT WAS EVEN MORE COOKED THAN THE FIRST and the vegetables were so cooked that they were shriveling up looking almost dehydrated on the surface. I told them it's fine, I'm not going to ask to have it remade because the rest of my party is half done eating. When the bill came it was not corrected and the manager came out saying "I hear you're upset about the price?" And I said "not really upset. It's just that although the first steak came out as a 12 oz. The second was 8." She said that she personally watched them pull it out of the 12 oz. Section and that steaks do shrink as they're cooked. I don't understand how two 12 oz steaks could shrink so differently in both thickness and width. I wish I had taken a picture of the first steak to compare. Please note the steak temperature guide attached in comparison to my actual steak. Not sure what her definition is of medium rare, but that is NOT "the definition of medium rare". I won't be back for a very long time if at all.

Cup of pea soup, really good!
Joyce T.

A dependable diner with reasonable prices. It's located in the casino with plenty of parking. Big menu. I noticed a more mature crowd here for lunch, chilling and enjoying their meal. Friendly service and food delivered in a timely manner.

World record attempt at worlds smallest scramble.
Scott F.

Great staff, but this is the world record holder for the worlds smallest scramble! 3 bites. Its a .5 egg scramble, maybe keep the accountant out of the kitchen.

7.99 chicken meal.  Worth every penny.  Gravy on the side with an extra gravy as I love my gravy lol
Lori S.

This place inside Bodines Casino has some of the better casino food in my opinion. This plate is on their $7.99 menu as well as about 5 other choices. I was expecting some prefab reshaped chicken patty for the price. Not at all. It was the most moist juiciest chicken breast I've had in a long time to the point i cut it with my fork. Mashed potatoes were delicious as were all the steamed veggies. The resraurant if your lucky to get into the back section is all windows so you get to see the beautful scenery outside. Mountain views are breathtaking to say the least. Our waitress was Cristina and she was the sweetest ever. On top of everything. Water was always full as was coffee and she was as pleasant as can be. It was dinner time and the place was packed, but service did not lack at all. Oh their pizzas are pretty yummy too.

Bread pudding smelled SO good! Flavor was excellent as well!
Darla B.

Four of us just did not want to cook or clean up for Thanksgiving. Well, the only restaurants open on this holiday are in the casinos. I chose this one for the photos of prime rib and the reviews. A short 20 minute wait for a table. Then found out prime rib is only on the weekend. Oh well. They have six choices of dinners for only $7.99. Awesome price. We each got something different. One was the regular Turkey dinner, there was also a special Turkey dinner with more stuff but the extras were not needed. Looked good with four slabs of white meat Turkey smothered in gravy, mashed potatoes with gravy looked good too. Pork chops looked not so great, the veggies had no flair. Chicken enchiladas with rice and beans came with a pico de gallo, but it had jalapeños so I only tried Rays enchilada which was a bit bland without the pico. My plate was spaghetti and meatballs. I've never had spaghetti and meatballs on thanksgiving and guess what. They were yummy! The sauce was very nice. Our server, Guadalupe was very attentive, maybe even too fast, but given the number of people wanting to eat here this afternoon/early evening, she was just keeping the pace up. We were never left wanting for an iced tea refill. So, here is the reason for the review! The desserts!!! One of us had creme brûlée that sounded quite good but Ray and I shared the bread pudding!!! The scent was so reminiscent of the Dickens Fair over at the Cow Palace in Daly City, that eating it took me to merry olde London. It was super yummy!!! Moral of the story here. I heartily recommend the bread pudding at any time! I was not looking for Turkey. Might have done a French dip but we chatted so much before ordering I had not decided so made a snap judgment and was pleased.

The price here is unbeatable. The food is good as well. $12.53 for a turkey dinner, salad and drink. It's double or triple anywhere else.

This place is absolute garbage. The staff and atmosphere are terrible, and the food is even worse. Go to literally any other casino.

The 4-cheese blend with gouda was SO good and made the pizza extra creamy and smoky. The BBQ sauce was perfect, the toppings were loaded, and the crust had the perfect crisp without being too hard. Also the ranch? Elite. Such a good cozy spot after being out in Tahoe all day. Definitely not just a tourist hype place, we're already planning to go back next trip

Got a half Base Camp and half BBQ Chicken pizza, which came out fast and smelled great. The Base Camp was the better of the two, but they were both ok. I wish I could say better things about this place but unfortunately the pizza did me dirty. Within 5 minutes of paying the bill, I was running to the bathroom (located outside the restaurant). 10 minutes later I was fighting for my life again in the Target bathroom. It hit my husband later that evening and my 1 year old the next morning. Food poisoning while on vacation is the absolute worst. Would NOT recommend if you're planning to grab a pizza before a full day of hiking or hitting the slopes.
