    They do have beer
    Todd R.

    Seems to be very clean. I must say for being out in nowhere land very clean. I was sat very quickly and my server came over almost immediately. Not a lot of customers so I hope the food is good. I stopped to get out of the rain. There is an old time soda shop but it is not open when I asked the waitress she said it is really never open anymore They do allow for take out and eat in. That is a plus I can't stop thinking of how clean this place is!! So I'm not looking for spectacular so it met that. Ordered the chicken fried steak. Little overcooked do it was hard and chewy. The gravy is not home made but it was ok. Suggest with the boiled corn throw on the grill really quick I also got the chips and salsa, chips must be from a bag as some are stale and salsa is nothing to write home about. Maybe try and make some salsa I think it would be a hit!!

    We had a great experience here. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was fresh and hot. It's a Diner, nothing fancy, but basic food done well. Prices were reasonable, portions were large & the experience was great. Really glad we stopped.

    Truly excellent food for being out in the middle of nowhere! Decent service, though getting seated takes a little while when the hostess is busy checking out customers. So many choices it's difficult to decide! We are working nearby for the next month and a half and I know will be back again and again!

    two plates of food with the words awesome menu selection at the best value

    After a long drive from Los Vegas, pulling into Dancing Eagle for a late lunch was such a surprise, who would have thought a small quaint casino on an Indian reservation would be so good, so clean and must of all so big, what a huge selection of food!

    Lamb stew, or best known salty fatty lamb chunks!
    Kimson L.

    Dropped by this place on our route66 trip and this was the worse food we have tasted during our 65 days journey. Ordered medium rare steak with baked potato and lamb stew. The lamb stew is incredibly salty with fatty tissues on few piece of bones, the fried bread supposed to be soft and crunchy, not these... hard and tasted day old. And then the steak, overcook at first, sent back to kitchen, came back rare with blood and cold meat inside. What so hard about medium? 4 minutes each side, or until 140degF inside, rest, then serve! Couldn't eat much of it just nibble on bland boiled corn and a bit of baked potato for late lunch. And the service, took 15 minutes to be seated, 20 minutes for food to arrived after ordered, then you got lousy and expensive food!

    The Laguna Burger is totally worth it!
    John P.

    This place is a nice and convenient detour off the I-40. We had a mix of salads, wraps, sandwiches, chicken fingers, and the Laguna Green Chilies burger... all very good. Denise was an excellent server.

    Great American diner came her to eat

    Rig parked across the street at the DQ Dancing Eagle Truck Stop. Saw a poster on the wall this…read morecasino had a Diner and decided to check out their breakfast. The casino is kinda strict, doesn't allow photography which I feel really works against them considering we're in the age of TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels era, if your customers or patrons don't share the entertainment experience, there's really nothing else you can do to drive foot traffic. Organic growth comes from a feedback loop. Even a blue collared truck driver like me knows something bout marketing. But oh well. I had to put my phone away. And now, about this Great American Diner. Had I not seen the poster about this breakfast joint...I would have never known there was a diner nestled away in this village. Now that I've ordered the Pork Chops + Eggs Breakfast Platter........and at $8.99? Honestly, these are the best pork chops I've ever eaten on the road. They're packed with juice, a balanced amount of fat, the seasoning is a mix of rosemary, lime, salt, cracked pepper, garlic and oregano. And again for $8.99....wow, does this place no justice because it's empty on a Monday morning. So there it is, if you're ever on route 66, stop in here for the pork chops. Somehow the casino restaurant operators are running this place as either a loss leader (such as Costco's hotdogs), Or... Inflation doesn't exist on Indian Reservations..

    This is a wonderful restaurant off I-40 located inside the casino. Listen up my fellow travelers,…read morethis is an amazing place to stop and eat. My husband and I both ordered the Navajo taco (fry bread with beans, seasoned ground beef, chili sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream). The fry bread is perfectly soft with just enough chewy texture to make your mouth so happy. The fry bread isn't quite the same thickness as you'd get in Montana, but it was still pretty darn good (and I ate every bite of the fry bread!). My husband got the red chili and I got a combination. I preferred the green though. It has a nice bite whereas the red chili tasted more earthy to me. The restaurant was not busy at all. The food came out quickly and it all tasted super fresh. We would stop here again for sure!

The Stew was perfect! Spicy and everything tasted extremely fresh and well made. Never had Mutton before and i enjoyed that as well. Mutton has a very gamey taste that i am not used to but it wasn't unpleasant. It was cooked well and again it was all very fresh and so Delicious. They have a seafood buffet also that was going on while i sat there and i saw people with piles of crab leg and a few other items that looked really good. Service wasn't great seemed like they forgot about me once my food arrived but overall good experience.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

In a rare turn of events, both kids got the same thing, the Korean chicken bites with the sauce on the side, which was a great decision bc it did have a kick to it. The chicken itself was a bit dry. Both adults also got the pork belly flatbread. I found it a bit unbalanced with too much sauce and not enough other toppings, and the base wasn't as crispy as I prefer. Speaking of crispy, we opted for the appetizer brussel sprouts, and they were a bit chewy and on the not so super crispy side. Service was fine, and glad to have a little break from heavier New Mexican cuisine on this night. Lots of variety on the cocktail and adult beverage menu too.
