has so much potential to be a solid 5 because the food actually was pretty good and amazing portion and value but we were asked to wait 30 minutes for a table for 2 even though there were plenty of tables open and available... clearly they're understaffed to keep up the demands? service quality could be better and more attentive. no condiments were given for our meal and had to grab our own. the waitress just didn't seem to care much about her job and would rather spend her time elsewhere. food. bravo to the kitchen staff for cranking out the meals and you can tell the kitchen staff work really hard, it's nonstop back there in the open kitchen. action packed. my prime rib was more of a seared steak, good nonetheless. not overly seasoned and medium-well as promised. my hubs' BLTA came hefty. really great potions and value! value and portion don't go hand in hand in the economy these days. also, 10% off for player members, yay! what a nice perk. definitely want to return to try the all day breakfast next time! read more

I wanted to share that the last two times we have eaten here. The prime rib has been just terrible. We asked for medium rare the first time and it came well done we went there yesterday asked for a medium rare and it came medium and dry. we will definitely not be going back there for a very long time. read more

The food was delicious! The Beet Salad with Steak was delicious and steak made well. The Prime Rib plate and Smokehouse burger were also wonderful. The Nutella pancakes were too sweet for us. However, the service was SLOW. It didn't seem packed and we sat right away. But it took 15min before our order was taken (first visit to the table). And then it was another 45min for food. And we waited for the check for over 20min. If it wasn't for the very slow service, it would have been a give star experience. Our waitress was very nice though and did bring us refills without us asking. read more

Good Times Café - Good Times Café Located at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa Last night, after a long and exhausting day of work, my partner and I stopped at Morongo to get gas, have dinner, and enjoy the casino. Thankfully, we left with a full stomach eventually and some financial wins from the casino--but unfortunately, the dining experience at Good Times Café was nothing short of a disaster. Let me start by saying this clearly: Manager Anthony was professional, attentive, and did his best to correct the situation. He handled the issues with grace, listened carefully, and made the appropriate adjustments. This review is not about him. This review is about the service failure and lack of professionalism from our server, Roman. The Experience We were seated promptly and greeted with a pleasant attitude. I was genuinely looking forward to the advertised $54.99 petite filet mignon with lobster and shrimp special, which included potatoes, vegetables, drawn butter, and sauce. At that price point--inside a major casino--there is an expectation of execution and attention to detail. We took a moment to decide. I ordered the steak special for myself. My partner ordered the Funghi (mushroom) pizza. I was extremely clear with the server and stated--politely but firmly--that I wanted my steak medium rare, and that if it was not medium rare, it would be sent back. Roman acknowledged this and confirmed he understood. When you're paying premium prices for protein, asking the temperature is meaningless if the kitchen and server don't ensure it's delivered correctly. The Breakdown Nearly 45 minutes passed with no food. The restaurant was not busy. When I stood up, our server appeared moments later--carrying only my plate, not my partner's pizza. At that point, I even joked that after such a long wait, the steak was almost guaranteed to be overcooked. Unfortunately, I was right. I cut into the steak immediately and found it completely overcooked, dry, and unacceptable--the opposite of medium rare. When I pointed this out to Roman, I was met with a shrug of the shoulders and a weak offer to "correct it." When I asked about my partner's missing pizza, his response was, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." That was the moment I asked for the manager. Resolution (and Further Issues) Anthony came over immediately, addressed the problem professionally, and took action. However, it took another 15+ minutes for our corrected food to arrive--bringing the total wait time to well over an hour for two very simple dishes. Even more troubling: Roman never returned to our table. He walked past us nearly a dozen times, attending to other tables, and never once checked in, apologized, or acknowledged the issue. That is not an accident. That is avoidance. In my professional opinion, that behavior reflects a lack of accountability, training, and basic hospitality standards. I would go as far as to say it was cowardly. Final Thoughts Mistakes happen. Food can be overcooked. Orders can be delayed. But what is unacceptable--especially in a casino of this caliber--is: * Wasted food * Overpriced dishes delivered with poor quality * Servers who avoid responsibility * Zero effort to recover the guest experience Anthony did what he could, and I appreciate Also, they had a maintenance guy working on signage on our wall directly next to us the entire time. Talking on his radio. Don't you think that they could do this during closed hours. Why we had to sit next to maintenance literally no more than 3 feet away from us working on a lighting system on the wall that was just merely advertisement decor. Nothing that should've added to the overall dining experience. read more

We were in the Thousand Palms area visiting customers and decided to stop by the Good Times Cafe inside of Morongo Casino to try something different for lunch. The food was so tasty! We had Sweet & Spicy Shrimp and the Turkey Club Sandwich. Let me tell you, both were so delicious! The Sweet & Spicy Shrimp had a bed of Asian style salad, omg, so tasty! The sandwich was fantastic and made with fresh ingredients. The service was outstanding. If you're in the area stop by and grab a bite to eat! Just because they're located in a casino doesn't mean you need to gamble but if that's your thing, hey, you might win a few bucks! read more

Sad Sad Food waste of money. I felt bad throwing away so much food. It was so bad I had to say something to the waitress. It's not her fault but after I said no to the to go boxes I felt the need to be honest. I haven't had this bad of an experience with the food tasting so horrible. read more

This place hits the spot every single time, we sit at the bar, no waiting in line. Bar server's are super friendly and its full menu. Food is enough to share. We started with crispy shrimp and a lot of shrimp on the plate, finish with chicken sandwich with sweet potatoes fries. Inside can be loud not to bad Then we had breakfast large portions, chicken fried steak, biscuit and gravy, two egg over easy and I had to get an order of spam, delicious. But it got cold pretty fast, with the temperature inside the restaurant read more

We come here often but today the service was horrible. We had to ask the waitress where our food was it took 30. Then the waitress is irritated due to separate checks. Instead of putting the gratitude on all checks she puts it on one check. Horrible service read more

Came here after visiting the beautiful Joshua Tree National park. First visit. We were all so very hungry after a long day hike in the nature and the 90 min drive in the night. We wanted to try the buffet but the wait time was another 90 min, you needed to make a reservation for the buffet so avoid the extra wait. Two of my friends ordered the steak plate and the fish and fries and the rest of us all had the salmon dishes. I had the salmon salad which was palatable. The grilled salmon dish with the mash potatoes and mushrooms was surprisingly good! It's always a pleasure to dine at the casinos restaurants. The food is good, the sitting areas are spacious. The servers are friendly. Nice stop on our way home. We fed our eyes, minds, souls, and our stomachs in a one-day long trip. read more

Nice undercover brother here. Looks like a typical cafe off the casino floor but whoa daddy, the food rocks. We shared a pizza and a French dip sandwich. The pizza was well cooked and had a sprinkle of Parmesan over the top to add sparkle. The French dip was massive and tender. We replaced our side dish with sweet potato fries, and that was a great option. They were crispy and cooked perfectly to as well. What I'm trying g to say is, feel free to just roll on here when you are at the Morongo casino. The food is A+ and our server Oswaldo was a gem. read more

It has the best bartenders Lindsay and Joe are two of them they are so efficient and personable and the food at Good Times is excellent.

Since good times is the only cafe in the casino you really have no other choice. The food is pretty good but the service is so bad. Been here several times and the service is always bad. Such a shame, food is great but service stinks. read more

Food was okay, wait wasn't too bad for a Sunday lunch. The hostess was nice. Chicken tenders were pretty dry and the caeser salad was decent, nothing special. Took stars off for the nonexistent service. No one checked on our table even once. read more

We went here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It is located inside the Morongo casino. Getting there can be a little tricky, we actually drove by the first entrance to the casino by accident... lucky for us, the restaurant was right inside the second entrance we chose. We parked outside for free. The actual inside gave off diner vibes which made me question the quality of the food, but I'm glad I was wrong! The queso dip... get that and thank me later. That dip was enough for 4-5 people. We took the leftovers home and it held up well in the microwave the next day. The clam chowder was just ok, and the drinks were weak. My cosmo was more juice than anything. Fish and chips were good, loved that they came with vinegar (east coasters unite!). The fries were clearly housemade and awesome Our waitress was simply the best. read more

The prime rib was delicious. I ordered it medium, but seared. We also ordered the Carnitas omelette, which was very good. The Cajun chicken pasta was good, but the pasta was very drenched in the sauce. The clam chowder was fantastic. read more

We were coming back late from OC so decided to pop in here. Residual because of the time at night it was but I think it's my second or third time being here. It's a pretty straightforward place. Never been here when it's busy which is a good thing so always had an attentive waiter. The ambience is nice when it's not busy. Where we sat the tables are a little more spaced out so you had some privacy, well not like it mattered. Sure they can't really hear you over the sound from the casino. They do have tvs so imagine if there is a game it gets busy and no one leaves but their menu has stuff to keep them snacking on or a full meal. The food was really good and a good portion. Of course everything is a little bloated in price, so for a simple meal you are looking at $20-40 depending on drink and if you get an appetizer, per person. But of course if you are there for a sit down casual dining while in the casino, this is where it is at. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but it'll be the first place I think of to eat if I'm at the casino, no complaints. read more

Crystal the manager made things right. It appears our server was potentially overwhelmed with the pre-holiday crowd. And forgot to put in our son's order with the rest of the Family order. He did not receive his food until another 15 to 20 minutes later because the order was never put in. The manager took care of everything. She apologized profusely. She was just simply kind and own that mistake. read more

We have eaten here twice and each visit was very different from the other. First visit, soooooo nice!! We sat at the bar and had great conversation with down to earth bartenders, got some free fries with our Morongo points. Such a cool vibe. We were all smiles throughout our whole dinner. We aren't drinkers so for the bartenders to give us attention was very much a plus, not only did they give us attention they were just super friendly all around. However, 2nd visit when we came for dinner, we sat at a table. Our waitress was nice enough. The cooks did mess up on our burgers so I bit into a 1/2 bloody patty (I ordered medium) and my husband bit into burger "jerky" basically (he ordered medium rare). When the guy dropped off our orders, he just plopped them down and quickly left, didn't ask if we needed ketchup for our fries or anything else. This really wouldn't have been all that bad but our waitress was nowhere to be seen for quite a while. We sat waiting for ketchup, Morongo sauce and drink refills for a good 10 minutes. Very frustrating. And no, the restaurant wasn't super busy. I'd say we'd go back because we do know that the food is good, fries are EXCELLENT. I think our second visit was an off night, hoping so. Wish we'd have had a different waitress, other than that, not too shabby. Seriously, those fries though...... read more

We sat at the bar right before a comedy show and it was exactly like my ex, quick & easy. The "fancy" place was booked so we just walked right in, sat down, drank, and ate. Super convenient, laid back, good food and drinks. Service was great. Nothing to rave about but also... not gonna be writing home to mom either. Hit the mark. Did its job. read more

Had breakfast at Good Times Cafe yesterday morning. I had been here once before, a couple of years ago for dinner and had a good experience. This time was good as well. The restaurant is laid back and casual, and offers a variety of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a bar. Our server was so friendly and made a great recommendation- the machaca breakfast. It was delicious! It had a very homemade taste, and came with golden, crispy potatoes, a side of tasty salsa, and beans with a thick slice of queso fresco. The tropical tea was just how I like it too! While staying at Morongo we tried to dine at a variety of their restaurants, and my husband and I both agreed this breakfast was the best meal we had there! read more

Very good food and service. Breakfast was really good, sat in the bar area to watch the Dodgers game, our waitress, who was also the bartender, was completely on point.

The filet was a good size, I'd guess around 8 ounces. read more

My husband and myself visited the Morango Casino and decided to grab a bite. We were looking for a sit down and casual dining spot. We decided on this restaurant in the casino, which, ended up being a very good experience. Good service and good food. Menu prices were a little little pricey, however, if you have the rewards club card, you get 10% off the food, it helps. Decor was very cool, they had a full bar and plenty of open tables. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly and attentive. We shared Hawaiian Pizza, a Caesar Salad and a slice of cheese cake, everything was delicious!! read more

While walking around Morongo, thought this place would be good for breakfast since the other restaurants don't open until 11am on a Sunday morning. It's a big wide spaced dining establishment with a long round bar in the middle and an Easy Rider chopper on display to the right as you walk in. I sat across from the chopper. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with extra gravy. Service was slow, but my dish arrived with not much gravy. I asked the waiter for more gravy and she obliged. Nice service. The extra gravy made the difference. I mixed the two sunny side up eggs along with the biscuits and extra gravy. Pretty good, compared to other biscuits and gravy dishes I've had. I might come back here again, but there's other restaurants at Morongo I'd rather check out. read more

The service was very poor. We noticed other tables getting their food before us, even though we ordered earlier. The only times the staff came to our table were to take our order, drop off the food, and bring the bill. We also ask for some stuff and she forgot about it, food just sitting by the counter for a while with no one bringing it out. Overall, it felt like the service was inattentive and disorganized. read more
