Side salad with TWO ranch dressings!
Mark K.

Came her about 8:30 pm because I needed real food, and have enjoyed the meals here in the past. Today was very quiet here - the whole casino was almost empty, too! I was seated quickly and not one, but two, servers asked if wanted a drink other than the water they quickly brought. I think the servers outnumbered us customers 2 to 1, at least! I had checked the menu before coming here and found a new item - a pesto grilled cheese sandwich. Simple comfort food with a new take on it. This one has the pesto, cheddar and jack cheeses, as well as grilled red onions, and sauteed mushrooms on grilled sourdough. You can pick another bread if you like, but I kept it traditional! With that sandwich you also get a choice of a side: French Fries, Sweet Potato Fries or Onion Rings. You can also upgrade to Fruit Cup, Garlic Fries, Soup or Salad for $2. I added a side salad, extra Ranch! (I just use the salad to get the ranch dressing into my piehole! ) The salad came quickly, on a chilled plate, and was accompanied by two dressing in containers. Lots of salad on a smaller plate with two dressing was a challenge to cut and mix, but I managed! The sandwich followed soon after, and was nice and melty hot. I admit, it was not much to look at (the always eat first!) but the first bite was a blend of heavenly tastes! The cheeses, the pesto (just enough!), the grilled, soft yet sweet red onions, and the sauteed mushrooms all blended well. The moistness of the fillings softened the bottom bread a bit, so I need to remember to flip the sandwich halves when they arrive next time to help the steam escape. Still, the flavor was more important than the texture of the grilled bread. My server, Jennifer, was professional and friendly, and kept tabs on my needs, as did two other servers throughout the meal, keeping me filled with iced water and iced tea. Overall, a great late night "snack." Left happy ...

Denver Omelet**
Kristina M.

Located inside Grand Sierra Resort, this Grand Cafe is worth checking out, especially for convenience! My husband and I checked out the breakfast menu on our last day there and liked what they had to offer so we went inside to dine. This restaurant was well kept and clean. Everyone was so nice, kind and helpful. This restaurant is GRAND! Our server was attentive and helpful. She checked in on us a few times and refilled our coffee. My husband ordered a Denver omelet and it came with toast and hashbrowns. I ordered fruit and a parfait. The amount of fruit I got was so much! When I come back, I would not mind trying other food items other than breakfast.

Convenient and acceptable are the words I would use to describe the Grand Cafe. We dined here before a show at the GSR and not doubt of the convenience. We dined early, roughly 5:30pm for a 7pm show. There was no wait and was quickly seated. The menu is diverse, offering your standard burgers and salads, but also offered a short list of Asian cuisine, which was an interesting surprise. The Asian food was passable but far from authentic or even flavorful. That said my wife ordered the burger. It was quite good. The fries were excellent. I may have sampled one or two. I ordered the Bowl of Chili. When I asked the waitress what she thought of the Chili, she replied "I'm not really a Chili girl, so I'm not a good judge but people order more burgers than the Chili". Err...okay. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. What the hell, how bad can it be, he says... Much to my surprise the Chili was quite good. A solid blend of beef and beans. The flavor was actually pretty good. I would order this again. Served with a side order of minced onions and sour cream. You won't confuse the Grand Cafe for fine dining, but you can't beat its convenience.

Clean and quick service. Food is Sysco.. taste like Applebees, tgif, dennys if you get my rift. Mass produced and lacking nutrients.

Coffee was super strong. Had to dilute it with half coffee, half hot water. Asian salad. 4.5/5* Good portion. Tasty dressing Prime Rib sandwich 3/5* French Bread was thin and dry. Meat was slivers of meat. Dislike coated fries. Chicken fried streak, hashbrowns and gravy 3.5/5* Gray was good. Will try it with biscuits next time.. Granola parfait 4/5* Layer of granola and the bottom of bowl. Plain and strawberry yogurt top with more granola, blueberries, and strawberries on top very filling. Service was good each time we went very accommodating and friendly Large Asian salad and dressing was delicious!

Grand Burger (M) w/ff 3. Pesto grilled cheese w/FF *Wine & Spirits available. *Keno while you dine * Mimosa Daily Special Hours: Fri & Sat: 7a- 2am Sun & Mon: 7am-Midnight Tuesday: 7am-11pm Wed & Thurs: 7am-Midnight FYI: This spot is typically packed for breakfast!

We were seated promptly. Our sever was nice and pleasant. She gave me time to review the menu. There's plenty of seating. Very nice old Hollywood, but modern decoration. Food was good and plentiful. The kids menu was a great value. $10 for 2 pancakes, an egg and hash browns. I got the same thing but the adult size and it included two bacon and two sausage For $24. The hashbrowns were made perfectly. I did have to wave down our server for a few items on different occasions, including a spoon for my coffee and creamer, butter for the kids pancakes, so make sure you ask for these upfront so you don't have to wait. Overall, nice breakfast

Cajun Blackened Chicken and Shrimp Pasta
Reena L.

First off the hospitality is great! Kell is amazing 100/10 service. She's such a gem and was so sweet the entire time. She gave my family and I recommendations on the food and kept it real. We decided to go for the chicken noodle soup, creamy cajun chicken and shrimp pasta and the grand cheeseburger. The burger was an 8/10, chicken noodle 6/10 and the pasta 9/10. Very good food but the service was the star of the show, would come back simply to get served by Kel again.

Try this place out and you will not regret it . Got seated within a few minutes of arrival , clean restaurant . Nice menu . Delicious homemade chili and my salad was 10/10. Server Terry was not only personable and sweet but very good . I'll definitely recommend this place .

The Grand Omelette was the truth with Chicken sausage
Terrance S.

Everything was delicious. You won't be mad at the staff, menu choices, and overall experiences. Don't miss this great dining option in the casino.

The cauliflower wings were yummy!
Neelab S.

This is my second review for this place within a few days. That is to thank Claudia for an amazing service during our morning breakfast and special thanks to Terry for serving dinner. Terry did not just accommodate my request but was very helpful with menu and suggested a yummy item. She is very soft spoken and very professional. I appreciate her. Ty Terry for making my boring evening fun.

Stephanie S.

Two years later and we're back. Same great food. Same quiet and quaint ambiance. Same great service. We were ironically seated in the same table as two years ago. Food and service were even better this time. I love the updates. Hubby had chicken quesadillas and I had sante fe chicken salad. It definitely hit the spot after being on the road. Thank you Sierra.

The French Onion Soup is great, and we enjoyed a giant Cowboy Ribeye and a lovely NY Strip. The steak doesn't come with sides so we got French Fries to share and they were good. The Lobster Mac n' Cheese wasn't all that fresh - it had a very fishy aftertaste which was quite unpleasant. Sometimes you just want a good steak, and Charlie Palmer will give you just that. Service could be better - more patience is required for our elderly grandparents (they're still sharp and fully independent), and better listening wouldn't hurt - they forgot a drink order and it was difficult to get their attention.

Our server was quick to grab our order, we overdid it a bit in hindsight :) We ordered the firecracker shrimp appetizer, the Wedge Salad, and the Chicken Gyro with Fried Pickles. Everything was great with the exeception of the fried pickles, which I wouldn't recommend. Too much fry, not enough pickle IMO.

I got breakfast and other than the toast which had little or no(?) butter on it, breakfast was good. Perfect portion size. No jelly or extra butter was offered.

I actually ate here 3 days in a row so I got a good taste of the experience for sat dinner, sun brunch, and then Monday brunch on the way out. The first night, I came with family, who ordered the Brussel sprouts, which came out a little over cooked, soft, not crispy, and the balsamic was just ok. However I did share the gigantic ribeye dinner with my date and it was honestly one of the better steaks I've had recently, especially considering the size, it was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the veggies and mashed potatoes that came with it were amazing. The server was also very friendly and funny, the experience in general was a 4.8. The second day I came in for brunch, the server that we had was truly a delight, she was extremely friendly, her name which I forgot, was a spice like Cinnamon or something. Anyway, she was very sweet, she let me and my gf sit next to each other and take up two tables, even though it was quite a busy time (they do have a large back room). I was able to build my own omelet which was nice since like I said I was in a strict diet. I had the San Francisco omelet with mods, which came with ground beef, spinach, mushrooms, I also added zucchini, pickled jalapeños and some bacon. It was amazing! Once again, the server seemed like she would go out of her way to make our experience a great one! I will also say that they had some soul music playing which me and my girlfriend really liked (bias of course). Unfortunately the Monday brunch was not as great of an experience as the other two days. I will give a little grace considering it's Monday, and the bartender was the only one serving in the whole place, he did not live up to the standards the first two servers provided. Anyway, we walked in and there was one person in the whole place, sitting at the bar, we sat next to the window and I asked if I can push the two tables together so I can sit next to her, he actually said no initially bc he wanted to save room for bigger crowds (keep in mind, this place is empty and they have a huge back room), he eventually said "it's all good we are not that busy right now anyway." His negative tone kind of set the "tone" for the rest of the experience. I ended up getting a coffee while my date a latte, the coffee was noticeably not hot, and tasted kind of stale, when he came to refill my coffee later, it was still not hot at all, I don't want to say it was cold but it was just kind of warm, and kind of gross. This time I decided to get the same omelet with egg whites, initially I was unsure if he would be willing to go out of his way to accommodate for the previous modifications, but I asked and he was "willing", though he seemed a bit annoyed (maybe this is just his usual face). The omelet came out different obviously with it being egg whites and unfortunately it was a little runny, while the veggies were a little overcooked. I realize that cooking with egg whites are not as easy as regular eggs but either way, it was noticeably runny. The server did show that he had a little sense of humor and could smile at one point while helping a different group, mainly at the expense of a group of teenagers who came as a group of 10 kids to post up a single poster in the window. It was nice to see that he "could" smile. Ultimately, he was ok, but a little awkward, and really never smiled. The breakfast wasn't terrible, the seasoning (like the other meals, was great, the potatoes came with bell peppers and green onions on top and were good, and other than the eggs being a little runny, it was still good. The music was also different, 80s punk/ Ramones radio. To top things off, I ordered some house made pickles, which I was very excited about since I was a little hungover, but they never showed up :( Like many of the other reviews, it was pretty expensive, which is understandable since they advertise that most of the ingredients are organic and locally sourced. Two omelets, a coffee and a latte came out to $80, not including tip. I am willing to pay for great quality food and great service, but it does little room for error, and the last experience did have quite a few of them. At the end of the day, it is a unique place that offers a lot, breakfast, lunch, dinner, organic ingredients, a charming ambience that reminded me of a grog bar, midtown setting that is a short walk from the riverwalk and downtown. Obviously I liked the place since I came back twice, and if the option of 4.5 stars was possible I would give it here bc the first two experiences were stellar. And, if i never came in on Monday, it would've been easily a 5 star rating. AND once again, I'd hate to judge a place based on the performance on a Monday morning, however, I simply can't give this place 5 stars after that last experience.
