What a great place to enjoy dinner with friends! The menu has something for everyone and the portions are generous. We all loved our server Jonathan who learned all of our names and always addressed us by name. He is funny, knowledgeable and very professional. Who knew we would learn about the history of the area during dinner! We will always request our favorite guy! read more

I enjoyed this restaurant immensely! My salad was fresh and delicious! The salad dressing was very yummy and the veggies were all crisp and flavorful. The service was friendly and the portions were huge. I would definitely recommend read more

The good: I was seated promptly, and the server came right away. My coffee came quickly, and included the whole carafe which was nice! The mediocre: I ordered Eggs Benedict, which is almost always my first order at any breakfast/brunch spot. While the eggs were poached perfectly, the hollandaise was weirdly watery and very thin and tasteless. The English muffin was the thinnest I've seen, but was well toasted and held up to the runny sauce. The ambience was casual and comfortable, exactly what you would expect from a 24hr diner. read more

25 plus minutes for coffee, two eggs, home fries, toast and ham. Should be: eggs 5 minutes, home fires 3 minutes pre cooked on the grill, ham pre cooked heat it up, toast 3 minutes, waitress incompetent, kitchen clueless, 20 people in restaurant, two servers, manager who was in the back playing games on her phone, maybe she should help the staff?. Also Never got my decaf coffee, Never got my food. Confrontational read more

Went for bday Dinner with friends. Got a french onion soup, and a steak w/ Green Beans and Mashed and Gravy. Service was a decent pace for 12 people. Theres an unecessary robot for carrying things and my bread for order was missed but both minor. The food was good and fairly priced for the location. Ive been going to the casino for years and its odd ive never been here. Id go back to try other things. read more

Emerald is one of my favorite restaurants and food and service is great but the one complaint I have is they have taken the Grilled Chicken Sandwich off the menu.I hope they would consider putting that back on the Menu read more

Man we were starving around 11pm after losing our shirts. This was the only joint with low-carb food, so I settled on egg whites, avocado, and tomato on a croissant, while my boyfriend went for the omelet. Both came with a fruit bowl. The fruit was rock-hard and the eggs were, well, eggs are hard to mess up, right? But the prices? Outrageous! I mean, I know eggs are cheap, but 15 bucks for an egg white sandwich? What's the world coming to? I guess when in Rome, you gotta pay the price! read more

The venue was able to fit the whole party, and it was a big party of eleven people, with a limited wait time. The surrounding area in the casino part was loud but that's to be expected in a restaurant like this. The restaurant itself was relatively quiet. Due to the large size of the table, to fit so many people, it was hard to hear the waitress at times. The food was good and very filling, it came out quickly and we were checked on frequently. read more

On another road trip and came across this restaurant. Didn't realize it was in a casino. Beautiful casino and mall with plenty of stores and restaurants. We had breakfast and both had western omelettes. It came with home fried potatoes and toast. It was all delicious. Farm fresh eggs and great ham. The home fries were cooked perfectly with onions. The coffee was delicious and we took cups to take home. Kim our server was on point. Definitely will come back. read more

Poor service (slow and rude) and the food is not good. Not a good experience overall and won't be back.

We were at Turning Casino & ate breakfast at the Emerald Restaurant and it was terrible. The service was good & the restaurant was clean. Would not go back. read more

My husband and I decided to grab breakfast at Emerald's before we checked out. I'm a huge sucker for good diners and didn't except to have an exceptional breakfast here, but I did. We were seated right away. The menu is pretty extensive, so options for everyone. I decided to order something light since we ate quite a bit the night before. My egg white spinach, tomato and feta omelette was amazing! It was flavorful, light and huge! It usually comes with toast and fruit but I ordered it without. My omelette was $12. My SO ordered a standard egg, bacon, sausage and hash brown meal. He loved everything except the breakfast sausage, he said it tasted like a hot dog. Coffee was good and the service was excellent. Attentive staff are everywhere here. As noted in some other reviews, the decor and furniture could use a facelift but it didn't bother me much. It's been years since I've been here and glad we decided to come back. You get a lot for your money compared to other dining options at Turning Stone. Next time we visit TS, we'll definitely visit Emerald's again. Also, it's open 24/7, good late night eats! read more

Emerald Restaurant - Egg white spinach, tomato and feta omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Verona, New York

We just had dinner at a diner-type restaurant except the food was 5 star quality. The most delicious tomato soup - it tasted homemade. Best burger I've had in a long, long time. Staff members are warm, friendly, fast efficient. Prices somewhat higher than similar restaurants. I ask you, what's not to like? read more

Food was fine. Service was good. My only complaint was that the food took a long time to come out. Also, you can pay with casino chips. read more

I had never been to Turning Stone before this but I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I got the eggs Benedict and it was delicious. My fiancé and niece also enjoyed their food. Portions weren't too big and the service was great. read more

Pros: Extensive diner menu Open 24/7 Cons: Since it is the only restaurant other than pino bianco open on weekdays, there's always a line outside to enter. We tried the upsidedown apple cake and it was too sweet and not fresh. read more

This place is just not good. Ive given it multiple chances but the food is below mediocre for me. Every single time I come back. I don't know why I keep coming back but this will be my last time. The eggs Benedict was cold, the pancakes were bleh, and the breakfast burrito was not tasty. Even my coffee mug had a lip-stain on it. $50 for breakfast. NOT WORTH ITTTT. they lost my business. Worst diner I've ever been too. Even the decor is depressing. YOU WILL HAVE BETTER LUCK AT DUNKIN ACROSS THE FREAKING STREEET!!! read more

We went for breakfast on Nov. 21. I had the California Eggs Benedict- Turkey bacon, avocado, pico de gallo hollandaise on a toasted English muffin. It was sooooo good. The waitress said it is being removed from the menu December 1. I hope they rethink that. It was awesome. My husband had the Full House- Two eggs, home fries, sausage, toast. He said it was delicious and hot. Great service. Tables well spaced well. The place was very clean. read more

Service was okay considering that they only had 2 servers (that's what I was told anyway). Drink order was taken for myself and my guest and both drinks brought out were wrong. One was unsweet tea (brought out sweet tea) and the other was a white zin wine (brought out a white wine, not the "pinkish" color of a white zin). Replaced both but for the unsweet tea I was brought a bottle of tea and was told that they do not make unsweet tea anymore, they only made sweet tea. Since it was a bottle, no refills. I guess if they can make sweet tea, why not make an unsweet tea? It's the same thing, just don't put sugar in it. Also, menu price was not accurate. On the menu it says assorted teas were $2.75 and I was charged $2.95. I know only 20 cents but also with no refills since it is in a bottle it isn't the price that was listed on the menu (was told I could get free refills for sweet tea). Not sure how accurate other prices are. In the past I have ordered items that would come out incomplete. Ordering a Cobb salad and not having avocado is just one example. I've been going there for years and recently noticed small changes. read more

I didn't think at midnight we were going to get anything too exciting.... wow I was wrong. The waffles and pancakes were amazing. The bacon was cooked perfectly (crispy). The tenders were a hit too. Great for a quick bite as you win big. read more

Emerald is a solid resteraunt and I would recommend. There is a good selection of food for breakfast,lunch,and dinner with reasonable prices.The waitresses are always nice and the food comes out pretty quickly at a good temperature. To go is also a good option but you have to wait a little longer than you would expect. Pretty good resteraunt that I would recommend. read more

First time I went it was great. I was looking forward to coming back and getting the salad I loved. 20+ year cook, I was actually thinking of applying, I like the food that much. Well I came back tonight and ordered that salad no cheese oil and vinegar. It came out with cheese. It happens. Not a big deal. I send it back. It comes back with some of the cheese removed and the server just walks away. I left I would never ever work for a chef that lazy with such low standards. The chef should be seriously embarrassed, and should really think about if this is the job for them. read more

Two more great meals at Emerald, they always know how to deliver a delicious, cost effective meal served in a friendly, clean, and casual environment. It is easy to tell this place is a favorite amongst the Turning Stone guests because there is always a line to get in, and always a flow of happy full guests on the way out. Count us as two of them! We ate brunch on Monday and enjoyed our biscuits and gravy and grilled chicken on ciabatta with avocado ranch sauce that we came back today and reordered the exact same meal - why mess with a good thing? The biscuits were massive and fresh baked, the sausage gravy filled with crumbles and seasoned perfectly, and eggs scrambled to order. My girlfriend would have taken home a gallon of the avocado ranch if she could - good thing we had no room in the car. The team is being extra diligent on Covid related cleaning, and all of the tables are spaced out to promote social distancing. Amazing experiences all around. read more

Good food, fair prices, overall good all around. However I feel the decor is a little out of date, what I mean is I feel like it's a spot from the movie casino. 90ish style read more

Emerald's has always come through for me because they are always open (24/7). So if you are staying at the hotel and need food late, this is the place! This place has quite a large menu of food to choose from. Craving breakfast at midnight? You can order it here! I have tasted practically everything on the menu. My favorite meal from Emerald is the chicken tenders and loaded fries. I would consider this a casual diner. read more

Would not recommend if you have dietary restrictions other than being vegan. I got the vegan omelet, and I'm allergic to a lot of things, so I took out everything except the onions and cheese. The omelet was more onion than egg, it was disgusting. When I tried to say something to the server, she fully turned away from me and spoke to someone else. VERY rude. And that gross onion omelet was $14.50! read more

Ordered Avocado Toast and barely had an avocado spread. How can you have avocado toast without avocado? The fruit was the only good part of this breakfast. He avocado toast somehow had no flavor. Same goes for the biscuits and gravy my husband ordered. Its the only place to have breakfast at TS. Next time Ill get breakfast outside. Stark contrast to our delicious dinner at Pino last night. read more

Emerald Restaurant - Avocado Toast without avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Verona, New York

I've been coming here since I was a little kid. The menu used to be so much more extensive, you got real fancy napkins. They have since re-designed the menu, got rid of the smoking section and made the layout more open. I got my two favorites. Loaded potato skins and buffalo chicken wings, hot. Absolutely delicious. My favorite part of the loaded potato skins is that they're GIANT and the bacon is always perfectly crisp. I don't know if it is, but it tastes high quality! Chicken wings are perfectly crisp. My biggest issue with buffalo wings is when they're beyond "mild/medium" (which I think Frank's + Butter is) they get too vinegary tasting. Not the case here. A flavorful hot. Their bleu cheese is one of my favorites. Our waitress was obviously exhausted but very kind. Food came out in about 10-15 minutes which made me very happy. The BLT was good but the chips it came with were disgusting. Way, way too much salt. Skip them. I've also had the shrimp alfredo here before, well worth it. The portion is HUGE and can easily be made into two meals. read more

Had lunch here with colleagues. Located inside Turning Stone Resort and Casino, the restaurant follows all current COVID recommendations. Restaurant is clean, lunch menu selection was good. Price was OK considering you're inside a casino. They're also open for breakfast and dinner. read more

Great food and service. Friendly staff. Very accommodating. Ice cream sundaes are the best! read more

Found multiple curly white hairs in our food. Did even stick to what was said as repayment. Nasty liars.

Had breakfast today. Very disappointed. French toast was cold, not real maple syrup. Breakfast potatoes are nothing more than deep fried potatoes...like French fries. No seasonings no onion very bland. Corned beef hash is NOT fresh made...canned crap. read more

Friendly service. Weird smell, like old dish rag, which started to ruin my appetite. Food came out quick. Pretty bland even after adding salt and pepper. Choc chip pancakes seemed like chips were an afterthought since they didn't stand out much. They were fluffy though. Crispy bacon. Chocolatey hot cocoa! Syrup had skin which is not appetizing. About on par with Dennys. read more

the staff was super nice and the food didn't take too long although we did order very late. loaded fries tasted good but were very soggy and had way too much cheese. my boyfriend got the breakfast burger and it was slightly under average. very bland and just lacking flavor. the wings were pretty good and the ranch was honestly the best part of the entire order read more

Went to Turning Stone and me and my gambling partner went her for an early dinner. It was around 4 and we were promptly seated and our waitress was Melissa. I ordered a buffalo wrap and it had the perfect amount of heat and was well prepared. My friend wanted breakfast and got the eggs benedict and that also looked great. Both meals were served together in under 12 minutes. The really great part of eating here is we can also play Keno while we dine and our Melissa made sure we always had a table runner to take our bet so we wouldn't miss a game. Melissa was the best server--she was quick, friendly and very quick witted! The food was served very fast and was well prepared. read more

The Emerald was very disappointing not sure what changed just ordered original breakfast scrambled eggs,toast home fries and bacon. Eggs were not real,toast was floppy and bacon was stiff like plastic. The real disappointment were the advertised home fries which were not home fries they were pre frozen potato puffs ..greasy tasteless and gross. Service was friendly and great. Food not so much barely ate any. I am not fussy at all....but how hard is it make breakfast? They were not busy at all. read more
