French toast was great. English muffin good as well. But it's the bacon. The BACON That was out of this world. No really. Try the bacon! read more

We appreciate Robert for his excellent service! Recommend New York Strip to everyone here, the side dishes are also better than expected read more

Lucille Malone's - American Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

Honestly, we didn't expect much. We wanted breakfast while out for a drive and we could go north to Nederland or south the Blackhawk. Our destination was closer to the south so we opted for Blackhawk and Lucille Malone's. My experience with casino food has not been great but we figured it would sustain us, at least. Were we pleasantly surprised!! I got a skillet with sausage, hash browns, peppers and scrambled eggs smothered in Colorado green chili (if you've never had it, get it!) and my wife had the breakfast burrito smothered in green chili. Both were excellent! The service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was welcoming and interesting as the location (Gilpin Casino) was originally an historic hotel supposedly haunted by Lucille Malone. We would definitely recommend! read more

Stopped in to fill our need for energy but with it being Lent for Catholics and you follow the abstaining from meat on Friday's I was looking for a fish option tonight. I was aware of thier shrimp platter which is always a great bargain for $15 but wanted to try the fish plate which is battered cod, and was I pleasantly surprised at how tender it was. I'm not much of a fish guy other than shrimp, crablegs and Lobster. But this was delicious I can't say I would order it as a normal "go to" here because they have other options I really enjoy but I'm really glad I gave it a chance. Still one our favorite places up on the "Hill" Can't go wrong and a little tip if your not happy with your meal as my wife was with hers as her wings were overcooked don't be afraid to let them know they will make it right! read more

Lucille Malone's - Fish platter with a side of fried shrimp. Cole slaw and fries included. - American Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

Instead of spending big bucks at the high end casino restaurants, I am glad we found Lucille Malone's in the Gilpin Casino. Take a small elevator or the stairs up to a great intimate restaurant! It has a large menu with appetizers, weekly specials, sandwiches, dinners and desserts. We went earlier on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. They had fish and chips for $10.99. We had the everyday special- prime rib, potato, roll, salad and asparagus for $14.99!! It was very good. The 5 or 6 desserts were priced at $5.99. The total for two dinners, two beverages and 2 desserts was less than what we spent for breakfast at one of the high end casino restaurants. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. The restaurant also serves breakfast. I would highly recommend Lucille's! Oh, and except for one special deal, you don't need a player's card to get their low prices! read more

Great price and good food. My steak was cooked correctly and the fried shrimp was also very good. Our waiter was also very kind.

Good food and attentive staff. Wasn't very busy for Sunday Brunch - but should have been. Very reasonable prices.

I shared the prime rib special with the added the shrimp with my wife and it was more than both of us could eat. The Blue Cheese dressing was amazing. This place was not that big and it looks like an old '70's Vegas old diner. I bet there are lots of stories in this place. Our waitress did a great job. I would definitely come again! read more

Stopped for a late lunch. Ordered a glass of wine, then ordered lunch. Our server asked how our beverages were and we said we'll order another. She said you can't, I have to wait a half hour before you order another. I thought it was a joke. That being said the burger was good and our server was very nice but not really knowledgeable about the laws and area. read more

Everything was top notch here. We were greeted before we reached the top of the stairs...we had the special of the day-fried shrimp and added the most delicious wedge salad. Kyle was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Best service we have had since we arrived two days ago and checked in to the Horseshoe. Love this place. read more

Lucille Malone's - The Thursday special fried shrimp. I pound of shrimp between to people and we could hardly finish it. - American Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

Was impressed with the breakfast burrito inside of bacon. I would come up here just for that highly recommend this place eggs were great.

We were searching for a lunch spot that was both within walking distance of our hotel and would not break the bank! This was highly recommended on Yelp so we gave it a shot! We both had the burger which in my opinion was bland, yet edible. The fries were hot & tasty & garden salad basic, yet fresh & good. Our waiter, Brian was outstanding!! Very personable. Overall good experience. read more

We went here twice while staying in Blackhawk. The chicken tenders were soooo good. Exactly what you would want. Steak and fried shrimp was good too. Steak wasn't the best cut but it was good. read more

best surf and turf for $25 and if you are a senior citizen it is even cheaper. This is inside the Gilpin casino. They have specials every day. If you are staying in Blackhawk, check this place out. read more

It was okay... I shared the prime rib and shrimp. Salad dressing was awesome. The plate pretty good. This 12 year old palate likes everything that is not exotic in any way. So prime rib was safe.y mom had lobster tail, more like rubber tail. Way over cooked but what can you expect for $21 with a steak. Would I go back, maybe. Staff was nice. read more

Lucille Malone's - Prime rib dinner - American Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

Tasty and affordable spot. Service was quick and friendly. For the total of 28.96 we had tons of left overs between the two of us. Which is unfortunate because we are unable to reheat food at our hotel. I ordered the mushrooms Swiss burger and comes with fries. The burger was cooked perfectly and the bun was soft and toasted. My husband had the loaded potato and fried shrimp. We could have split that meal and would be full. It came with 18 shrimp! with lemon and sauce. Although the loaded baked potato wasn't as loaded as anticipated. Everything was still good. I did have a cup of creamy leek soup. It was delicious! Overall not bad considering the limited restaurant options when staying at one of the casino hotels. We would come back and share a meal. read more

Good joint. Straightforward American grub. Had the Cuban sammich and it was pretty good for Colorado. Having had real Cuban sandwiches in south Florida, it doesn't compare, but a good effort for Colorado. The service was good and everyone there was pleasant and friendly. I'll definitely go back. read more

Lucille Malone's - Cuban sammich - American Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

I have no clue why people have rated this place so high! It literally is one of the saddest restaurants as far as ambiance. Upon entry, the carpet alone made me want to follow Lucille herself right off the second story balcony (will get to that at the end). Looking around the place at the customers, I felt like I was at a 1970 church revival. The menu was expansive, and the special was a $12.99 prime rib with two sides. I decided to go for it even though a prime rib should never be under $20-30 in my opinion or I will assume something is severely wrong with it. My friends reminded me it's a casino so they are trying to draw people in with cheap prices. Fair point. Speaking of friends they got the surf n turf and the hamburger. Listen. The prime rib was actually slightly better than the cheap price. My friends said the burger was "fine" and the surf n turf was "below average". Server was super nice and apologetic for the few things that he forgot and we had to remind him to grab for us. We took a piece of cheesecake for the road. As we were leaving, I asked my friends who Lucille Malone was I wonder, and the lady checking us out had the story. Lucille threw herself off the balcony after her man got run over by a wagon and died. And the lady let us go to the balcony where this happened! Lucille, honey, no man is worth jumping off this balcony for ... but that carpet ... oof maybe that's why she jumped. I'm basically giving this place two stars for the history alone! Oh, and the cheesecake when we go back home? Ugh no. Not good. Don't check it out, Blackhawk. read more

You walk into the Gilpin Casino in the old Gilpin Hotel located in Black Hawk, CO and go to the 2nd floor to Lucille Malone's. We had dinner here a year ago and are back in the area again. The prime rib last year was amazing and did not disappoint this time. Prices have risen, and the quality is just as good. We decided to come back for breakfast and it was every bit as good. I had the Southwest Skillet and my wife had the breakfast burrito. They were both topped with pork green chili, awesome!Both were very, very good and less than $10 each. This restaurant is the best value in Black Hawk!!' read more

The food is amazing, New 2024 Menu try it, The service is spectacular, love Nikki and every one else. The Price is kick ass, come on less then $20 for prime rib, starting at 11:00 AM that's new. read more

Best meal that we've had in town. The menu is pretty diverse and has other items that other casino restaurants don't have. Highly, recommend the chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken. Unfortunately, we cleaned our plates too fast before I could get a picture. read more

Great service and a fun staff. Get the bone in ribeye and a tasty sweet potato if you are really hungry.

My son and I had a delicious lunch at Lucille Malone's! Black and bleu burger was 8 oz of deliciousness. Philly cheesesteak and side salad were amazing. Reasonably priced menu as well. Don't miss it read more

The food is amazing. Extremely reasonably priced and worth much more than you pay. The service takes this place over the top in my book. Our server Hayley was exceptional. She worked through our custom order like a pro and took extreme care and attention to every detail. The experience with our server would have made up for bad food, but in this case, the food was just as good! I highly recommend this restaurant, and if you are lucky enough to get Hayley, you will see what I mean! read more

Good food, friendly service at very reasonable $$. Where else can you get surf & turf for under $20! read more

This place is tucked away inside a casino. If you don't know, you don't know but they have great food. Great service!!! quiet. I've been going to this place for years and I've never had a bad meal family restaurant. read more

Ambience was historic and classy. Food was very good. Large portions at a very reasonable price. Salmon was very soft and flaky. Burger was huge. Steak and lobster special was more than expected for the price. Steak was very tender and lobster was a little tough. read more

A hidden gem. Delicious food and wonderful service. Making it a point to return regularly so we can try every item on the menu and keep enjoying such excellent service again and again. Park in the free lot across the street, up the short set of steps at the west entrance (has a ramp, too), turn right, then left into the fast elevator, up to the second floor, right to the restaurant desk. Since the restaurant is inside the casino, no children allowed. read more

The food here is on point. I got the chicken fried steak, and the Mrs had surf and turf and everything was pretty bomb diggity. I think this is our new go to whenever we come up here. The only thing that needed some help was the biscuits. read more

I arrived on Super Bowl Sunday looking for hostess/ server LeeAnn, but Brian did not disappoint. Brian is very personable, hard-working, and on top of all the needs of his tables. He's an outstanding server! Kudos to Allen who is a very good busser with a great attitude. Bri the cashier is very warm and customer service-oriented. Kudos to the chef as well. Another very pleasant dining experience. Manager - You have an all-star crew! read more

You're thinking generic casino diner. I can't speak to the rest of the menu, but the BLT was unexpectedly really good. I mean, I ordered it thinking, even a casino diner can't mess up a BLT, right? It's made with a dark bread (maybe a honey or molasses??), super fresh L&T, and an abundance of perfectly cooked thick cut bacon. I went with onion rings which were also really good. Glad I trusted other yelpers' good reviews. read more

Very standard American fare in the Gilpin Hotel, but everything was fresh, cooked to order and pretty good.

I have a slight gambling problem, but you know what makes it worth it? When I can cash in on my free comps and enjoy a meal at Lucille Malone's! I don't gamble too often at the Gilpin or the Lodge, but I think I will start more because of this restaurant. It's no frills, but I can get a steak AND a lobster tail for about $18. EIGHTEEN FREAKING DOLLARS! Is this heaven? I think it might be. Along with 2 sides. I go for the baked potato and veggie of the day. Oh, and that salad bar. I love a good salad bar. Chock full of all the usual healthy fixings, along with ambrosia salad (gross), jell-o (decent), and BEER CHEESE SOUP. UNLIMITED BEER CHEESE SOUP (when available). Dang, I might be from Wisconsin because I love creamy beer cheese soup. I'm not really from Wisconsin, but it wouldn't be the worst thing if I could eat beer cheese soup every day. Oops, I went off on a tangent, and I think that I have exhausted my use of CAPITAL LETTERS for one review. The service is spot on (think dinery type wait staff who know how to take care of you), along with decent prices that won't break the bank (particularly if you don't gamble much). Burgers, sandwiches, salads, the typical norm. It's not anything special, but I think that it's one of the best deals in Black Hawk. Come for the deals, stay for the beer cheese soup (when available. If you happen to go and there's no beer cheese soup, I feel for you. I really do). read more

The food there is plentiful and good we had the club sandwich and the green chili which was the best.

Food was really good and reasonably priced. Our hostess sat us quickly and got our drinks. Our waiter Brian was awesome. I had seen an item on the menu posted online and that's why my girlfriend and I went there. Turns out, they don't make it anymore. Brian asked the cook and they made it happen. Thank you guys. read more

Would not recommend this place. If you want your wine served in plastic. Didn't even get to the food

I finally got a chance to check out Lucille Malone's on a recent trip to Black Hawk, utilizing a coupon I had for a free dinner special. I was seated and served quickly, and went with a chicken sandwich and fries. The cajun-type spices added a really good zing. Everything was great. Definitely recommended as an awesome place to stop if you get burned out on the mainstream buffet fare. read more

I used to work at the casino 10 years ago and raved how delicious my dinners were late at night. It was wonderful to come back today and sink my teeth into Lucille Malone's amazing Bacon Cheese Burger; that with my fries and holy crap the lemon water oddly enough. I wish I remembered the young ladies name who served us as I've never had someone come back immediately after taking my order to ask if either of us liked mayo with our burgers. Not would you like ketchup or mustard, but hey, I already know what I was gonna bring what DIDN'T I think of and BAM she nails it on the head. Her service was impeccable, not just to the customers coming in off the street, but she also provided amazing servive to the staff eating lunch as well. It was truly a pleasant experience and I'm thrilled to see this place has only gotten better over time. read more

I ordered a steak to dine in and wanted to order a different side meal to go. Not only am i not allowed to-go order, customers "not allowed to order more than one entree." That's Absurd! Even if I only ordered one meal and wanted to take the rest home, it's not allowed. You'd have to roll it up in a napkin and sneak it out in you purse/pocket. They literally hate money. -5 stars. I almost walked out without dining at all. But I don't care how good the service or food will be, they don't deserve the business. read more
