    This place is one of those places that are open 24/7 and if all other places are open this is the place to come to if wanting a decent meal with and okay price tag attached to it. Service and atmosphere here is great. The only thing that I'd have a gripe about would be the ordering to table wait time other than that everything was pretty good. Note that everything here is a little bland so if wanting more sauce of flavoring don't hesitate to ask your server as they are more than happy to help you. For both the things we ordered we had no complaints and they weee both okay.

    Chilaquiles with eggs overeasy
    Eri S.

    Got so hungry from walking around decided to walk in here to have brunch. The ambience was a normal brunch area inside the casino hotel. Service was okay and nothing spectacular. I ordered chilaquiles for myself and it did not disappoint! Asked for beans on the side because I like my chips crunchy and the sauce was so so delicious!!! Totally recommend the chilaquiles

    If you are out of options, you have a chance to gamble your stomach's future here. Was here for a weekend to compete at USBC Nationals across the street. The hotel is great. The food here... not so much. First, we came with 10 people total and tried to split up the tables to avoid gratuity fees and long orders and stress on the waiter. However, we ended up having to go at different times and sit far away from each other so we can pretend to be strangers. As far as the food, my friends order was burnt eggs and not edible. My order was less cooked eggs and not scrambled as I asked. They call it Casino Breakfast because your odds of winning are slim to none. Others at my table ordered burgers and they looked ok at best. On top of that, they thought we all ordered soda when that wasn't close to accurate. The waitress did her best and took off the badly cooked meal and all the sodas. With the bowler's discount, still on the high side. Think of your favorite breakfast restaurant, increase the menu prices, and reduce the food portions. That is Cafe Central! Enjoy!

    Shrimp pad Thai

    Pleasantly surprised! Decided to dine here for the first time after catching a live performance. They were busy but we were able to be seated immediately. Their menu has lots of options if you can't decide what cuisine you want. I went with shrimp pad Thai. Our food came out SO fast and it was hot and delicious. Our server was very friendly and patient with our table. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us often. I would definitely come here again.

    Stopped in for dinner after a show. My group of friends really enjoyed the selections offered. We had amazing waitstaff. Our food was brought out promptly. It was hot and full of flavor. We tried a number of dishes offered. Serving size was enough for left overs. It It a must try.

    Just got in town and needed a bite to eat. Went to the Silver Legacy Casino and found this place. Walking up there is plenty of seating. If you wait a minute someone will greet and seat you......or you can walk to the bar. It was after 11pm and the menu was limited. Ordered Greg's All American Cheeseburger....added some bacon too. Greg's Burger was good....fries were good. If you a burger and fries swing on by.

    Had a late dinner after seeing a show at The Silver Legacy. I had the Kung Pao Chicken and my wife had the General's Chicken. Both came with a side of white rice that cannot be substituted which was fine for us. The food came piping fresh and hot and the Kung Pao Chicken had excellent flavor and a perfect amount of spice and the General's Chicken was zesty and savory. Both were good portion sizes leaving us both with leftovers to take home. The atmosphere is along the indoor public walkway of the casino and a little loud, not really for an intimate date or setting, but the service was excellent and attentive. Overall, it is a convenient spot to grab a meal at all hours, a little expensive but likely for the convenience and location, but great selection and good food!

    Had to stay downtown due to the bad weather on Tuesday night and ended up eating at the cafe as habit burger was closed. I ordered the cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese although the cheese tasted more like plain jack. The server was attentive and my food came out fast which was a bonus. The fries were a tad cold but still tasty. I would defeat here again if I had to.

    We were staying at circus circus and decided to eat dinner here. our server was a little rude and didn't seem like she was happy working. the nachos were good but the chicken ceaser salad was dry . the salmon plate was alright, honestly i've had better. the decor and seating is cute though..

    The staff was very accommodating to my short lunch timeline and worked to expedite my order. Much appreciated to Manny and the kitchen team for doing that. Asian Chicken Salad is very good. Large portion size has me taking home some for dinner. However, I can't recommend the Penne Pasta with marinara and meatballs. The sauce is very thin like tomato soup so it didn't have enough depth to hold onto the penne. Prices are about 20-25% high which is consistent with most resort casino places. Discounts apply for value players and locals, but you'll need a players card. I do like the light, bright open feel of the restaurant. Nice view of The Row for people watching. TVs are the laying sports with captions is a plus.

    One of the only spots open super late night or might even be 24/7. The line gets super long so be prepared to wait in line or if you're a diamond or above with Ceasars they have a separate line you can wait in for expedited seating. The service was always great and fantastic however the food is regular cafe food, some of it is better than others. There's plenty of seating and the long typically moves at a good pace.

    Spaghetti and meatballs
    Steven C.

    I felt like I was in Vegas eating here. Don't ask me why I just did. Located inside the casino near the walkway, Cafe Central is a fun spot to people watch. The menu is huge with tons of options, something for everyone. I couldn't decide what I wanted and only did so when the server came. Thanks to the pictures posted by other Yelpers my choices were the pho, breakfast or the crispy Vietnamese chicken. Literally everything looked and sounded great. And it's funny because those options are so random lol. Most of the people at my table went with the Chinese food. My lady did the spaghetti and meatballs and really liked it. My Vietnamese chicken was juicy inside and had the crispiness I was hoping for on the outside. The sweet chili sauce was great. White rice hit the spot. Service here was A1.

    Spices and sauces for your enjoyment
    Jim W.

    Staying at Silver Legacy and knew that Cafe Central had done a remodel but the food was still excellent. Sure enough the fried rice was just as I remembered. Just the right amount of oil and lots of chicken, shrimp and sweet barbecue pieces. The pho was perfect. Veggies on the side to add to the hot flavorful broth. The menu is full of dishes from breakfast to dinner plus many drinks. CC is especially good for groups so everyone can get what they want! Drop by and enjoy some delicious food.

The upstairs dining area has a sports bar feel with plenty of TVs to catch a game, and Wolf Pack memorabilia throughout, which fits the location perfectly. The service was efficient and friendly. Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.

It was our 1st time eating there however it had been on our list for some time. We started with the PULL-APART GARLIC CHEESE BREAD which is Focaccia, mozzarella, marinara, parmesan, frico crust and also ordered the WOOD FIRED OCTOPUS with crispy gnocchi, tomatoes, red onion, basil, arugula and topped with a Calabrian chili aioli. Both were fantastic, seasoned nicely and cooked to a perfect temperature!! For our entree we hate the BEE STING pizza. Make with a 72 Hour Fermented Organic Dough topped with Salami, red onion, basil, serranos, mozzarella and honey. The crust was delicious, crunchy, thin and when combined with the sauce, seasoning and toppings, an excellent pizza. Additionally we ordered two of the in-house, housemaid pasta. The ARRABBIATA , a roasted red pepper campanelle, with Calabrese sausage, garlic, chilis, broccolini and topped with Parmesan, pecorino. The other pasta we tried was the BLACK SPAGHETTI, mixed with clams, scallops, shrimp, hot chopped peppers, white wine, butter and lemon. It was fantastic!! Cooked al dente and packed with flavor. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. The service was great, food was yummy and we definitely look forward to going back again soon!

I enjoyed the bee sting pizza, hot and sweet, and I love the combination. When I go back it will definitely be pizza, salad and cauliflower. The sever was a sweet young man. He was attentive to our needs and patient with all our questions. The restaurant is a good size, the bar area was busy and filled with conversation and laughter, the booths looked cozy, we chose a table near windows for outside lighting. The outside tables looked great for getting some warmth and fresh air. Many options and different settings. Sorry, I forgot to take pics.

I absolutely loved the White Linen -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gin drinker. Tonight I also tried the Blueberry Lemon Drop. I tend to like more of a tart citrus flavor, so it wasn't exactly the tartness I expected at first; however, once I ate the blueberry garnish and took another sip, it completely changed the drink for me and tasted much better. I also tried two of their specials -- the Salmon with Alfredo sauce and the Tenderloin sliders. Again, Alfredo normally isn't my thing, but the Salmon was cooked beautifully and the sauce was very enjoyable, especially since they accommodated my request for a lighter amount. Since I couldn't decide between dishes, I ordered the tenderloin sliders to-go as well... and they were delicious too! Our server Miguel was new and did a really good job. You could tell he was just a little nervous, but he was attentive, kind, and handled himself well. Everyone starts somewhere, and I wanted him to know he's doing a great job and will only continue getting better with experience. Another solid visit overall. It was also nice seeing GM Drew working the restaurant floor as usual. You can absolutely see his management style reflected in the atmosphere and service -- the restaurant was busy, yet the team handled everything smoothly. And of course, Chef continues making consistently delicious meals. Definitely looking forward to coming back again soon!

The menu has a variety of dishes and it was really delicious and well-prepared. The bus-persons and food runners were great: friendly and attentive. Cons: the cashier, our waitress and the manager lack initiative. Our server disappeared at the end of the meal; meanwhile, we had a starring contest with the cashier who I guess couldn't leave her station to drop off the check or ring us up, so we had to walk-up to the hostess to ask for the check, to which we were directed to the manager who then dropped off a copy of the receipt after about 20 minutes but didn't bother ringing it up. Instead, she strolled out to the casino floor with another woman and had a long, languid conversation. After about an hour, we flagged her back down and told her we were ready to pay the bill, she then directed us to the bar where the cashier was. So in summary: food was good, some of the service was good but overall service could use some improvement.
