The Gold Dust West out here in Elko has a restaurant called The Grille. A lot of people don't know the name and a different yelp listing, so I'm posting here on the Casino listing as a lot of people do for the coffee shop. I'm out here traveling east on the 80 with my crew blasting along the freeway at 80 mph (that's the speed limit here!) and the crew is grumbling about getting some food. They didn't wanna wait till even Wendover, cause there might not be any good food way out there. OK, so, I pull into the Gold Dust West. I've stopped here before and I do like the food they have at the Grill coffee shop inside the casino. We get seated and drink orders taken. You know I do notice a sandwich on the menu I never had before. It's the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Usually I'd think grilled cheese was a boring sandwich you order for kids or something. But I saw it had bacon and tomato in it. You do have you choice of cheese (besides American) and choice of bread. I got it on sourdough and cheddar cheese along with onion rings ($2.00 extra). I couple of my crew got the same but with fries. The other girl on the crew got the Cali Omelet. Our food arrives and I'm surprised at the heft of the grilled cheese on sourdough. I bite in and wow, this is pretty damn tasty! It's not what I expected at all, better! The other guys liked it too and said they'd get this sandwich again. OK, I was impressed with this new grilled cheese and I think they have it at all the other Gold Dust west locations in Reno and Carson City. If you get to a Gold Dust West Casino, check out this sandwich! Oh, the dessert of the month is cherry pie ... we got a couple of pieces to share. read more

VERY HUMILIATED!!!! ... date reference(4-6-26) After driving about 300 miles we were a little tired so we checked in to our hotel(Not GDW) around 6pm we went to the GDW for dinner, upon arrival we went directly to the Grill restaurant, we asked for a booth but upon looking around we could see they were all pretty much filthy along with most of the tables!! Seated ... asked what we would like to drink, we wanted a pre-dinner cocktail and a glass of water ... received our drinks ordered our dinner (prim rib) got our salad... when our dinner arrived we wanted another cocktail with our meal .... promptly told " you have wait 20min" ????? to my surprise I remember my mother telling me to wait 20mins before I went in the pool .... confused I asked why ??? ... no response from what I assumed was a waitress, she then got a manager and the 12yr old told us the same thing with no explanation...now mind you we didn't guzzle down 5 cocktails between being seated and our meal being delivered. I then went to the bar and ordered our dinner cocktail, the bartender asked me who the drinks were for ??? once again I'm thoroughly confused, I told her and she said she would bring them to our table, great ... thank you! .... now our meal is there, and the bartender shows up with our drinks ... but then proceeds to tell us we have to wait 20 mins ... OMG .... WHY!! ... well at this point in time it has been 20 MINS!!! ... Now we feel very humiliated, like being treated as children when were in our 60"s!!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! NO EXPLANATION, and were dumbfounded!!! Dinner's over and now were ready to pay our bill... I'M so glad I checked our receipt, they charged us for 2 soups that the party next to us ordered!!! REALLY .... now that was the topping on the cake! The dinner was very good! The STAFF sucked!! read more

We've eaten here twice within the last 24 hours. Went for a quick cheap dinner last night. I had a cup of clam chower and it was good. My husband had the 15.99 prime rib dinner. It was a lot of food. Cooked perfectly for him. . Went back for breakfast. My husband had the little . Nothing special. My friend had texas Benny and said it was great. I had toast . The casino is very smokey , however when you get the grill it isn't so bad. We would eat there again read more

Heading to Utah on I-80, we decided on an overnight stay in Elko. My sister ate at the Grille last year and raved about the steak special $10. And free slice of pie. I looked online. No steak special. But a prime rib special $12.99 during the month of March. How bad could it be I'm thinking. We drove over from our hotel using city streets as we wanted to get a feel of Elko. Knowing casinos can be smokey we brought our face masks to screen out the smoke inside the casino. Good thing. It was smokey. We spotted the Grille. We headed over & waited to be seated. It took a few minutes as the dinner hour was just starting. We started with drinks - hubby got a glass of house red cab, 6 oz for $3.50, and I got an Arnold Palmer at $1.50 with free refills. We asked about a bottle of red. Was $25. We passed. Good thing we didn't cuz the cab wasn't very good. Hubby & I both got the prime rib dinner special - medium rare. Both came more medium than medium rare. I didn't care for mine. It was herb crusted but the meat itself wasn't very tender. Hubby said his was good. Mine started to turn gray color in front of my eyes. Or so it seemed. But can't beat the price - $12.99. Came with garlic green beans and choice of baked potato or mashed. After thought - The menu stated warm dinner roll and a side salad. We didn't get either. It was just as well. Our server gave us our tab without offering the free slice of pie. I asked about it. She said came with our dinner. It was cherry tonight. No worries. I love cherry pie. She came back with a small slice of cherry pie in a take out container. I took it to go. And had it back at our hotel. As for our dinner, you know what they say. Get what you paid for. Overall experience- 2 1/2 stars. read more

Bar was excellent. Restaurant was not so good.meal was over cooked meat & under cooked carrots. I'm fact I could not even tell what kind of vegetable it was. Off color, huge chunks @ almost raw. My baked potato was warm at least. read more

I'm usually a big fan of GDW, but tonight was mediocre at best. I ordered the prime rib, as it's usually a sure bet. I ordered it medium, and could tell that it was at well done by looking at it. I cut into the middle to check it, and it was like sawing into the meat. The waitress did take it back and got me a less well done piece. The zucchini (I think) looked like mush. The mashed pots were ok, but the gravy was way over salted. (They weren't very warm, either, as they sat on the same plate while they switched out the meat.) The medium cooked meat was better, but not nearly as good as we previously had there. Hubs said the catfish was pretty gross. He ate a few bites and then dined on his fries and hush puppies. He's definitely not a picky eater and was really looking forward to it, so that says a lot. The server and hostess were both very sweet, and I know they had to ask how everything was, so I almost felt bad about my honest opinion. We probably won't be returning to GDW for a good long while, which is sad because it used to be a favorite place to eat out. read more

They put mayo on my sandwich after asking not too. Both sides. Total waste of money. Fries suck too. Cook your own food. It'll be much better. read more

See Brenda at the restaurant. She always provides fun and happy service, the prime rib special is A+. Excellent experience all around. Won $475 our first night! Smoking is allowed and the casino is fun and packed with machines. read more

I came to Gold Dust West in Elko to place a Super Bowl bet. As I walked past the restaurant and I realized I was hungry. The breakfast was superb! I am a picky eater and especially picky about my coffee. The coffee was perfect. The hostess who escorted me to my table, and the waitress were both pleasant, efficient and professional. Thank you Gold Dust West for a great breakfast. PS as I was leaving, the waitress asked if I wanted some pie. I guess pie is complimentary after 11:00 am. Good food, great service, and pie. Yum read more

Colleen the dealer ruined my experience. She is very rude and unprofessional as a dealer. Kept mispaying me for blackjack. She should not be a dealer. Never coming back because of her! read more

This review is for the "Grille" restaurant only. We don't gamble so I don't have an opinion regarding the casino other than it does have table games I noticed (our local one in Reno only has slots). We frequent the restaurant in Reno for breakfast so as my two adult sons and I were on our way home we stopped in Elko for a meal. The hostess was a hoot. Very funny and friendly. I had the corned beef hash and eggs. I love hash browns very well done and it is super hard to get a restaurant to do this to my satisfaction. The hash browns were a disappointment, but the rest of the meal was really good. Little things you don't realize until you've eaten here like 3 eggs with their breakfast and very thick toast. My older son got a sandwich and my other son got a burger. They both ate all of it. The sandwich looked really good with a swirl rye bread. The burger was smaller than expected. The prices are very reasonable and I will stop again in the future. read more

Stayed across the parking lot while traveling cross country. What a great experience! Casino was strict with Covid regulations., Masks are required at all times except while eating. Pull it up or down for a smoke or drink. Staff very friendly and found it contagious. Playing at a table everyone was friendly. Needed to grab a bite and pit my name on a wait list as capacity is low. Waited about 35 minutes and was worth the wait. Nothing fancy. Looked like a diner. Staff attentive. Food was 100 times better than I expected. Great for the price. Prime rib special came with soup or salad, potato and veggies. Also got a free dessert key lime pie a little sweet but still good. Great stop! read more

Bar tender. Horrible service and workers that seem like they don't want to be there...

Lived in the area for over 7 years and had never eaten here. It was surprisingly good, particularly for how cheap it is. Nothing ground breaking, but good basic food for a casino. The service was a little weird. My breakfast companion was older. In spite of being very specific about what he wanted, she really pushed him on the senior version. I found that mildly irritating. He finally told her it was fine, he didn't care, but it shrank an already smallish portion. Other than that she was attentive but not pushy, kept our water glasses full and was generally pleasant. The one thing I had always heard about this place and kept me from going was that the ventilation allows quite a bit of cigarette odor into the restaurant. It does, not intolerable, but it was definitely there. Otherwise it was clean and mostly pleasant, pretty typical casino restaurant with slightly better than average food and service than similar establishments. I'll probably eat there again. I don't gamble, so I can't say much about the slots, other than they were sparkly. read more

I have no luck gambling here and the food is pretty cheap but not great.You get what you pay for I guess.

I'm literally at the restaurant that's in the sports book. I told the waitress that the food was cold and she never came back and when she did she said they won't discount it because some of it has been eaten. I've been here every week and have had numerous problems. I won't be back. read more

the tightest machines in all of Nevada! I have never been to a casino besides Reservation casinos that are this tight. it's worth the extra drive to Wendover or Reno to play their machines. The machines have high grands which is a signifier that they hardly ever hit. Do Not Recommend playing the slots unless you like to donate. read more

After driving 300 miles it was time for lunch. Knowing Reno gold dust and Carson the food is good. So based on that stopped at the elko location. Absolute disaster! Not welcoming hostess who said we're busy it will be at least and hour before we can get you a table and probably longer to get waited on. We asked if there was somewhere close we could eat. Not helpful not willing to help. Definitely not a "house full of friends" in elko. Won't be back next time in eastern Nevada read more

It was nice inside and they give you free play for joining there slot club. The place was well kept with a nice verity of slot machines. There was nothing special but it's close to the exit and easy to get on and off the highway. It's better if your a local because they have nice slot promotion. I did turn my Free play into gas money so I'm happy. read more

Just wanted to watch the game. The time we were there it felt like they wanted us to leave. Yes, we placed bets, bought drinks, and food at the establishment. Did not feel welcome or wanted there. We were a part of 2 not even tipsy so not making a scene or being loud. Security acted like we were causing trouble. Then got defensive when we pointed out we were not. Our team won so yay! That made up for the ruined evening. read more

I'm not a big fan of the smell of smoke, but that just seems to be the name of the game here in Elko. However, of the casinos we visited on our trip, this was the one we enjoyed the most. The games were fun, and the service was great. Make sure to stop in the restaurant for the Prime Rib Dinner; it's fantastic! read more

Now that I have eaten at the restaurant, gamed at the tables and machines, and thanks to a friend I was able to partake in the night before lasts VIP buffet, I would have to say I've grown used to the great service and experience provided by Gold Dust West. At the restaurant I have tried the basque burger and the clam chowder on Fridays. I have been telling about everyone how great that burger with chorizo mixed in was! The dealers are always friendly, and the customer service/ cashiers desk, while slow moving at times really does employ some very pleasant customer service representatives. They are most accommodating and have the ability to explain upcoming programs and promotions precise and matter of fact. The other night I cut my finger while taking the wheel off of my bicycle and even the security was accommodating in helping me "clean up." And the VIP buffet; oooh boy. A friend of mine that plays regularly put me on as her guest and I was able to try it. Let me just say that the Italian food buffet was so well prepared, I would say I enjoyed it more than going to the " best Italian food restaurant in town." The slots aren't the loosest in town by any means but the experience so enjoyable it keeps me coming back. read more

I'm glad we went here for dinner. After driving for two days, it was nice to have a good meal. The staff were all friendly, and attentive to our dinning needs. From our server, to the cashier, and the gentleman who asked how our day was. My water glass never went dry, which was important because I am acclimating to the Nevada desert, and dehydrated. My food was served in a timely fashion, and on a warm plate. Nice touch. The beef was great. My fries were clearly cooked in clean oil, leading to crispy, starchy goodness. Veggies, rolls. 10 bucks! Rad. This was my first stop here in Elko. Good first impression. read more

Food is good. Service is okay. The sign says no smoking in the lounge area. But they allow it which stinks for those whom are excited about the no smoking part. It's a great location for sports viewing, we have a lot of fun=) just know they dont enforce the no smoking. read more

Well my husband and I haven"t been in here for a wild for breakfast or since their contamination breakout a couple months back. So we decide to take the chance and have breakfast their this morning. We place our order and the blonde waitress just couldn't get the order right. My pancakes were like rubber and his food was supports to have chicken fried steak with biscuit and eggs. Well he got biscuit and gravy but no fried steak steak or eggs. Then 10 mins late she must of realize he didn't get his fried steak and eggs and bought then to him then. The restaurant was not busy at all. We told the cashier what had happen all he could say we are sorry. This place has gone down hill with their cooks and service. read more

My Dad and I like to Gamble there but there customer service is horrible!! The Cocktail Waitress and the Bartenders are Horrible! Don't know how to talk to the customers and they see you and ignore everyone! The Restaurant is just as bad!! They see you waiting there and even the Restaurant Manager ignores you!! They take your number and tell you, you'll get a message in 15 minutes. 45 minutes later, you go back and they answered with, we texted you but you show them that they didn't it and they blame the tablet. Waitress have a bad attitude and the Manager doesn't care to ask if everything is okay. I told the waitress that the soda is flat, maybe is out and she has a bad attitude and slams the door to the kitchen. It's always the same, don't know why we even bother going there... read more

We had the most wonderful dining experience here! Traveling back to Reno from Indiana in an RV-we were getting hangry for a decent meal and Gold Dust delivered! There was room for our RV in the parking lot, our steaks were cooked just right-and they came with free shrimp and pie! Our server Sebastian was polite and friendly, and provided excellent service. We took a chance and it paid off! Will definitely stop here again on our next trip. read more

Worst worst worst service. Don't come here to gamble and drink cause you'll never get a drink. Been here multiple times and waited at least 20 mins for a drink while gambling before I just left. Had the cocktail waitress look at me multiple times without even thinking if I needed a drink as she was too busy doing nothing. Will never return. read more

Came in on a Sunday night, 4 or 5 other parties already seated. We waited 16 minutes after being seated to even be asked what we wanted to drink, waited another 22 minutes to have food order taken. Food arrived 23 minutes later, immediately noticed smallish portions, and was lukewarm at best. Our server Destiny did not check in with us at all to ask if we needed anything. Bottom line: Poor service, small portions of subpar food. First & last visit here. read more

Gold Dust West Elko - Prime Rib sandwich with sauteed and fried onions and cheese. - Casinos Near Me - Elko, Nevada

Service was ok, but being busy kept them running a little behind, which appeared to be from the kitchen. Food was good for the most part, however they need to learn how to make eggs over medium. They were a runny, sloppy mess. Both my son and I had the same order for eggs and we were both disappointed. read more

This is a very good restaurant in which I had the special which was prim rib and shrimp. This included a choice of soup or salad that of which I had their soup of the day. What I had in my plate were peas, fries, lettuce, prime rib, and shrimp. The pease were very dry and weren't that all good but the lettuce was the vegetable that made up for that and so was the shrimp,prime rib, and fries. The prime rib was the right amount of moisture for me being cooked at medium well, and the shrimp were very well cooked and battered. The fries were the average that you could expect though and the service was nice, we ended out on having a free slice of pie since this was the special. I had a strawberry pie and my friends had some peach pie both were delicious and I will sure to come back later when I want some good prime rib. read more
