9$ House salad
Ashley H.

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

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.

This evening (11pm) we chose to grab a bite @ The Grand Cafe open until 2am on Saturday evenings. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and the music was vibing from the DJ nextdoor at The Crystal lounge. Each of us enjoyed our late night eats. 1. Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/sweet potato fries. 2. 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

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 .

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!

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.

Belgian Waffles

There aren't a lot of breakfast options at GSR, especially if you're a vegan. Our server was very sweet but didn't know how to help a vegan find options on the menu. I ordered the caprese avocado toast without mozzarella, a side of hash browns, and a side of refried beans (which might not even be vegan). The toast looked beautiful. I was excited to eat it. However, when I went to cut into it, the bread was barely toasted, so it was super soft. That's just not the texture you want for toast covered in avocado, balsamic, and tomatoes. The hash browns were pretty good, just under salted. The refried beans arrived with cheese on them, so I had to scrape that off, but they tasted fine as well--again, just under salted. My husband really enjoyed his breakfast though--country-fried steak with over-easy eggs, dry marbled rye, and a side of applewood-smoked bacon. Our food arrived really quickly, which was great. Since this was the first day of our mini vacation, I'm sure we'll be back for breakfast. I'll try ordering the avocado toast extra toasted next time.

The food, service, and place are always great. The ambiance is family-friendly. That's why we spend our Sunday morning eating breakfast at the Grand Sierra when we visit Reno.

Fish and Chips

We had another opportunity to dine at the Grand Cafe because we were staying at the Grand Sierra and watching another concert in the Grand Theater. We initially headed to the Buffet but the line was too long and we had a concert to attend still; so, we headed to the Grand Cafe. When we approached the hostess station, our 4-person party was fortunate enough to get seated immediately at a nearby table even though the restaurant was moderately crowded. The bus-person immediately took our drink orders (unfortunately I didn't get his name). Then our lovely server, Cherry Ann (according to her name tag) appeared to take our food orders: spaghetti and meatballs, a Corned Beef Reuben sandwich, Fish and Chips and a Cafe Club sandwich. Everyone mostly enjoyed all their meals; the bacon on the Cafe Club was a little tough and the onions with the Reuben sandwich tasted odd. Every time I bit into a ring, I didn't get a taste of the onion, it felt more like it was a battered onion rind (if that makes any sense). Other than that, the rest of our dining experience was pretty great: the tasted good and was well-seasoned, the portions were generous, the price was still on the high end but at least all our orders were correct and arrived with a minimal amount of wait time. We finished our meal with plenty of time to go to the concert. The service was the best part of our dining experience, Cherry Ann, the young man who was the bus-person and even the food-runner were all exceptionally attentive and friendly.

Kids grilled cheese and fruit
Marlene A.

We've tried the breakfast so now we tried the dinner. Kids devoured their food. We split the pasta because it was late and regretted it. We should've got our own. It was really good.

We haven't been to Grand Sierra Resort in quite some time, so it was nice to be back--especially…read morefor a birthday celebration. We were greeted by hostess Julie, who was warm and welcoming right from the start. I really appreciated that the staff acknowledged the birthday without us even having to mention it. Our server, Mary Jane, already knew, which was a great touch (likely from reservation notes which, honestly, was a refreshing change from a past experience at Peppermill). Mary Jane was excellent--attentive, consistent, and on top of everything. Even with how busy it was, she made us feel like we were her only table. Chloe, our food runner, kept things running smoothly. The atmosphere was lively with trivia night and team competitions going on, which added a fun vibe. They also have outdoor seating available. Food was good overall. The birthday boy loved the Crabfest! Tried their sampler platter and Lobster fries both were just okay. Our shrimp came out overcooked at first, but they quickly corrected it and the second round was great. The seafood pasta, fish & chips, shrimp, and poke tacos were all decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Service is definitely 5 stars. Food is closer to 4 stars--but still a solid experience overall.

Our group (family) came here for dinner, and we had a great meal. It was a rather quiet afternoon,…read moreabout 3 pm, and we were seated between the fireplace wall and the bar. We were greeted by our server (John, I believe), who took drink orders and brought those, but then he took about 15 minutes before taking our meal order. We could see hi working tables between the bar and the casino floor, so we know he wasn't hiding, but it was not the promptest order taking. We ordered a lot, so I'll try to remember them all! We started with onion rings, calamari, and the combo platter (wings, calamari, mozzarella sticks, onion rings). For entrees, there were Cobb salads (Romaine, iceberg, spring mix, crumbled bleu cheese, cherry tomatoes, corn, bacon, eggs, pickled red onions, cucumber, green goddess dressing) but with bacon on the side and extra dressing on the side as well. We also ordered a kid's cheeseburger, and a Paddy Melt (Smashed beef burger, Guinness-braised onions with cheddar and American cheese, bacon, Burger-zing sauce on garlic, grilled sourdough). There were other dishes, but these are the ones with photos! The food came quickly and was nice and hot. Except the salads. The onion rings are always well fried, crisp and not oily. The combo platter is also a favorite, and the calamari went fast as well. The salads are fresh, colorful, with textures and tastes that really come together, and the Green Goddess is a perfect choice. The Paddy Melt was cooked perfectly, and nicely presented, and the kid's burger (1/2) was just the right size for a 10-year-old. All things considered, it was a great meal, and once we got the order in, the service was attentive and professional. Looking forward to a return visit here.

The waitress said "the kitchen will get mad at you if you place an order", a very unprofessional and rude response. Overall, The food was subpar too, dry hamburgers and overpriced. I used this come to this restaurant when they were open for lunch, and they were great. Friendly service with good food. However they are only open for dinner now. I only recommend this place for their beer.

We were staying at the GSR and wanted to check out Charlie's happy hour to grab some small bites…read more We made a reservation and were sat immediately. Our server Forest was great he explained the menu to us and advised what was covered in the happy hour. The food was also good, the bread basket was the best. We had the lamb lollipops 10/10, Oysters 8/10, loaded baked potato 6/10, lobster bisque 9/10, prawn cocktail 9/10. I definitely suggest giving them a try!

So we have a little unpacking to do here... First off, Charlie Palmer's is NEVER less than 4 stars…read moreon the quality and presentation of its food. Not sure who the haters are but maybe they lost money in the casino. In the many time I have eaten there, it's always been good to great, and last night was GREAT! My buddy Mike and I make this a mandatory stop when he comes into town, so thanks, buddy, because I was gleefully pleased (and stuffed) when we finally waddled out after a truly enjoyable 2 1/2 hours. The Food: The bread basket and 2 types of butter is always a great way to start and the selection is tasty. Just have to be careful not to overindulge and ruin what follows. The pacing at Charlie's is welcome as they are not trying to turn tables quickly and allow you to enjoy each offering. Mike had the Cobb salad which is always a treat. Next up came the unexpected little mini short rib pies in a delectable crust. Three bites of pure heaven! We could have eaten 12 each and called it a night. A wonderful pallet cleanser of liquid sorbet followed as a prequel to our mains. Mike had the bone in pork chop which he gave a 9/10 to and I had the 6oz duck breast special over succotash cooked to a perfect medium. YUMMMMM!!! Some of the best succotash I've had and the duck was perfect. I ordered two sides, the roasted carrots and the baby summer squash, which again, were perfectly cooked and delicious. Now borderline too full for dessert, a glance at the menu and we couldn't resist. Sorbet for Mike and the deconstructed chocolate banana cream pie for me. I couldn't help myself and devoured the whole thing! We polished off a beautiful Willamette Valley Pinot and sat back and relaxed. The Ambience: For a casino steak house i think it shines pretty well. Fairly light and modern, and classy but not over the top. The spacing of the tables is excellent, so you are not abused by other people's conversations. A wonderful place for a date, I suppose. The Service: OK, this is where the 5 star rating really takes place. Being a great server I feel has become a lost art. Probably the main reason Mike and I make this a regular stop isn't the excellent food, but the friendship we have created with Donovan! He shines at his craft on a higher level than any restaurant I have visited. He's funny, concise, informative, etc.... Pure precision and perfection from start to finish. I'm honored to be able to consider him a friend, and it brings the dining experience to the uppermost level! Thanks Buddy. Probably a good idea to ask for his section when you dine there and you will understand. As always, will look forward to my next visit to Charlie's in a month or so. Cheers, JimG

It was such a beautiful day.... where can we eat outside?…read more I found "The Spot", its in the old Smee's location on the river. When we showed up, we asked if we could sit at a table outside, the guy was a little overwhelmed, he said "I can sit you in 10 mins". I said "can we have this table". OK, but....just know I'll be with you as soon as I get caught up, I'm totally fine with that I said. . He bought us a couple menus to look over. Then a table on the railing with shade opened up, I didn't care about the table was dirty with dishes, so we decided to move. I love to look at the river and watch the people go by. The server said, I'll be over soon! He was never so happy when Sierra showed up to help him out. He came over to our table I said "I hope you don't mind, I moved to be in the shade, I know I'm one of those pain in the ass customers". Then he started joking with me and it was the perfect ice breaker. My server and part owner's name is Casey! He is an awesome guy and such a hard worker to ensure his customers are taken care of. I love that. We had a couple beers, he has quite the selection of beers on tap, he supports the community breweries such as Lead Dog and Revisions. My husband had the breakfast burrito $13, it was huge with homemade tortilla chips with salad and guacamole. I had the fish and chips. You get three large pieces of fish, fries and yummy coleslaw. I love how they put the tater sauce and ketchups in personal cups for you that shows class. My fish was absolutely delicious better than the old Smees and especially the new location. You get a nice meal for $20. They have indoor, outdoor, bar seating. They have a little merch area and a gaming bar if you feel lucky.
