It's more of a 3.5 but I'm going to round it up because our whole party was satisfied and the food was decent enough that we came back twice during our two day stay at GSR. And we love our food. First visit I had a steak Cobb salad. And a baked potato. I asked the steak to be medium rare and yeah while it was like an apple bee steak but it was cooked to my liking and I enjoyed it with my colorful Cobb salad and blue cheese dressing. Fried ordered clam chowder and likes it thicker but taste was great. Second visit I had the chicken fried steak. Could've been crispier but the gravy was creamy and tasty (I usually ask for it on the side bc I'm not the biggest fan of gravy but forgot). Eggs cooked to my liking and service was very friendly and personable. Everyone else enjoyed their breakfast. Yes it's a little pricey, it's in a resort. But we were super satisfied and enjoyed and appreciated their tvs to watch the World Cup. read more

This cafe is located in the Grand Sierra Resort. I recommend this place if you're looking for a quick sit down meal that's at an affordable price point compared to the other high end restaurants located in the casino. We were seated right away on a Sunday at 6pm before a big show in the theater. Unfortunately our table was not that clean. The chairs had crumbs and the floor below the table was riddled with food. Our waitress was friendly and helpful when I asked her if she could sweep it up. I ordered a $19 burger and fries which was very delicious. The bun was pillowy soft just like I prefer and the slices of bacon and tomato made this burger one that I could go back for. read more

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 ... read more

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. read more

Grand Café - Denver Omelet** - Cafes Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Grand Café is the ideal place to enjoy a thoughtfully prepared and delicious breakfast before your day in Reno, especially if you're staying at the Grand Sierra Resort. The food is exceptional, second only to the service. Two consecutive mornings our group was extremely fortunate to be served by Irma, who missed not one detail in our orders despite each person having something different with specific modifications. I will never understand how servers, especially breakfast servers, master this art. "Get me the Eggs Benedict, hard poached with traditional bacon not Canadian bacon, extra crispy, with extra Hollandaise, on the side, and add two thin slices of tomato, preferably heirloom tomato slices but I'll take Roma if you don't have that. Instead of English muffins put my Benedict on top of two gluten free buckwheat pancakes and bring warmed reduced sugar maple syrup with that, and a side of medium cooked hash browns with extra finely diced onions sprinkled with paprika and Himalayan sea salt. And for coffee coffee, half decaf and have regular with a splash of water, topped with frothed oat milk and a side of agave nectar from southern Jalisco." Moreover was Irma's genuineness and hospitality. Though the restaurant was busy, we were not just numbers, instead, valued customers. She truly wanted to be sure everyone was contented and had everything we needed. That seems to be the standard at GC, for even the manager stopped by to be sure everything was perfect. Pay attention Vegas, Reno is doing it right. Thanks Irma! read more

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. read more

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 read more

This cafe is inside the GSR resort. I staid at GSR while a friend was in need of surgery and some downtime to recover after surgery before heading back to California. I ate here twice during the stay. Both times were pleasant. Late at night, mid week, there are not a lot of dining options that are low in carbs. I was able to put together a meal here with some minor optimizations that minimized carbs. The waitress was attentive and the other waitress happily refilled my water as she passed by. Food was delivered quick and was hot. Food was good considering this is a captive cafe and more importantly it met my needs for having meals after very long days. I would eat here again if similar circumstances arose, but I would probably try to arrange my schedule to eat at one of the nicer restaurants at the establishment. The place was pretty packed given the off hours, but service was quick. The place was not overly noisy. read more

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. read more

Grand Café - The Grand Omelette was the truth with Chicken sausage - Cafes Near Me - Reno, Nevada

All was good...EXCEPT: Got the bill and saw that there was an 18% gratuity because there were 12+ of us. No problem there. Totaling the bill I noticed a line for another thing called "tip". Here's the issue we had. If one doesn't look closely they will tip TWICE (including a tip covering the first "gratuity"; thereby, on our bill, giving a 40.5% tip overall on a $32 food Food total. I find that a very deceptive business practice, which the wait staff may or may not be aware of (not their fault). Please rectify this issue so we don't have to alert the hotel management. Disturbed by this. read more

So for a casino cafe I'm reviewing for the all day breakfast that we had. Hubby ordered the breakfast burrito and I ordered the Grand omelette. Forgot to take a photo. But we were surprised how good and tasty it all was. The hack for me was the salsa from hubby's burrito on my omelette. The salsa was good and fresh and made both items next level. Requested mine to be cooked with butter and not the toxic canola oil was not a problem here and all in all I'd definitely come back when here in the casino for breakfast. Also what was next level was our service from Kell. Very nice and helpful and great service! Thanks Kell! read more

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. read more

My youngest son and I came here to celebrate my "birthday month" before attending a concert and I was disappointed that they were out of cake :-( We got a couple of scoops of ice cream, and will a discount, turned out to be comps on the house. Busy place with lots of tourists on the weekend. Nice to see everyone out and having a good time in the casino though. Wait staff were friendly. Cafe was a bit disheveled read more

The grand cafe is good for a quick bite. It is your typical diner style food. We ordered a side of bacon, sausage and 2 eggs. The bacon and eggs were very good but the seasoning in the sausage was a little over powering. The plating also looked thrown together and sloppy. We also got the Sierra slam combo which was good. My wife enjoyed the pancake and bacon but also thought the sausage seasoning was overpowering. The amount of food you get in this meal is a great deal. Our server was very nice and did a good job. Overall I would come back here for a quick breakfast. read more

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. read more

Shrimp chicken pasta 9/10 Breakfast burrito 9/10 Grilled chicken sandwich 7/10 (very bland) Good, attentive servers. I'd give this place a solid 4 stars read more

Horrible!! I would give zero stars if I could. I do not recommend this place! Service was horrendous. Our waitress took our order after a bit of a wait, (place was not at all busy) and she was gone for 30 minutes, she was not seen anywhere in the cafe. ( I was looking for her) Never checked on us never said your food will be here shortly, nothing. Once our food did finally arrive it was ice cold. (Thinking she went on her break and just left our food sitting there) She never apologized for the wait or anything. Not only was the food cold but terrible. The chicken tenders were by far the worst chicken tenders I have ever gotten. They had no flavor, other than oil, they were cold and stringy and tough. My nieces burger was of course cold and dry. And to top it off, the price was ridiculous for this. 86 dollars 5 dollars per soda x2 plus the burger and sweet potato fries which were soggy and cold as well, the disgusting chicken fingers and ice cold fries, and omelet and hash browns, which the omelet was cold but not as bad tasting as the other two and the hash browns of course were cold. We ate here a few years ago before a concert and the service and the food was good and a reasonable price. I do not know what happened to this place but would suggest you go anywhere but here. We will never be going back! And if a waitress is going to go on break she should tag someone to take her place and not leave the food just sitting there. And she should acknowledge the fact that she did not return in a timely manner. Plus you need to get a cook that can cook good chicken tenders. A little flavor, a little less time soaking in the oil. I usually would not write such a bad review but for the price that was charged and such bad service and food I can not just let it slide. Thank you! read more

Ordered the General Tso chicken. Way too salty! Good sized portion for an ok price at a casino. Partner ordered it with shrimp as the menu said any item could be made with shrimp. The shrimp was not fried as the chicken version is and it would have been nice to know that. There was a lot of shrimp though and he liked it. The service was ok, and the restaurant was comfortable and clean. We would probably eat here again but I would not order the General Tso again. read more

I wasn't really expecting a whole lot so I definitely wasn't disappointed. It was a late night hunger that landed us at one of the only places still open. I really wanted the fish and chips but decided to be good and ordered the Cobb salad instead. It was just meh. The waitress was nice enough but seemed very frazzled throughout our entire time there. It wasn't really that busy at all but it felt like it was overwhelming to her. I kinda felt bad for her. It definitely felt cafeteria to me but I guess that's why they dubbed it cafe. Not a place I'd chose to go again. read more

The younger guy (didn't catch his name)who took our drink order was amazing! He was very attentive & refilled our drinks a handful of times. Very kind guy. The server, Tesla, was fricken awful, making the overall experience just downright terrible! She never refilled the coffee at our table (he had to go up to the front desk for a refill), messed up our drink refills, continually disappeared being nowhere to be seen throughout a majority of our dinner, & was nearly impossible to flag down when she decided to make an appearance on the floor. She didn't listen to the customers when we asked for anything really, & had a bit of an attitude when she wasn't ignoring us. Unfortunately, we will never be returning to this establishment thanks to Tesla. This was my last meal before giving birth, & although it was memorable, it was for all the wrong reasons. The food wasn't awful, but it wasn't phenomenal either. Mediocre at best. Maybe it would've tasted better if the server didn't leave such a bad taste in our mouths. read more

Decided to stop by for breakfast. Was able to get seated fairly quickly. We were brought waters and coffees, unfortunately the coffee cup I was given had a huge crack down one side as well as a small hole in the middle of the crack. Thankfully they did bring me a new one. I ordered the Belgian waffle which had whip cream and strawberries but also came with syrup as well so it was the best of both waffle worlds. The hubby ordered a breakfast burrito which he said was good, but we found it rather odd that there were refried beans in it. We shared a side of sausage links that were delicious. read more

No line on a weekday late night dinner. The cafe was not busy so we received quick service. Erik and Wendy were pleasant and helpful. We were seated quickly by the host. Mongolian Beef was served hot and made fresh. Good flavor with a bit of heat. Would have been better if it were served with fresh, hot rice. Fortune cookie and chopsticks were wrapped in their packaging and served on top of my Mongolian beef. Definitely not appetizing. American Burger with sweet potato fries were exactly what you expect in a cafe burger and it didn't disappoint. While this menu has a very diverse selection from all over the globe, on this occasion, sticking with the burger and fries would have been better than going global. read more
