    Not sure if we came on a bad day but we went for breakfast on a Sunday, we waited to be seated for 15min and even though it was not busy. Then after getting seated it took about 20 minutes to get our food, we we both had steak and eggs for $9.99 which was a good deal.. My hash browns were cold, but steak was cooked correctly..

    BYO Omelet: bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and chicken

    Tucked away near the west side of the casino, right by the entrance to the hotel guest rooms. It's easy to miss if you're not looking, but convenient if you're heading in or out of the hotel. The menu is relatively diverse, spanning Breakfast, Mexican, Asian, and Global cuisines. They also offer an express lunch deal for $20, which includes a starter (Caesar salad or soup of the day), an entrée (choices like cheeseburger with fries, pan-seared salmon, or spaghetti Bolognese), and a dessert (Lily's chocolate chip cookie). We came specifically for the steak and eggs, once advertised at $9.99 but now $14.99--unless you're a player's club member. The steak was under cooked and lacked any real flavor; we had to rely on A1 sauce to salvage it. The build-your-own omelet (bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and chicken) tasted as expected--like basic eggs with the listed ingredients, nothing extraordinary. Overall, don't expect anything to wow you here. Very slow during our visit. There was only one hostess and one server managing the entire diner. It took 10+ minutes for someone to take our order, and about 30 minutes before our food arrived. They seemed overwhelmed, and it was during off hours. Small diner space, seats roughly 30 people. It gets busy fast, and wait times can vary due to limited seating. The area felt cramped and noisy, likely due to the casino foot traffic. While smoking isn't allowed inside the casino, the diner still has a noticeable tobacco smell, which could be off-putting if you're sensitive. If you're in a rush or looking for something affordable and basic, this spot gets the job done. But if you're expecting standout flavors or quick service, you might want to explore other options nearby.

    Inside the commerce casino is this tiny little gem where you can get a delicious steak and eggs breakfast for just $9.99. Comes with two eggs made to order. Hash browns. And toast. The hash browns, eggs and toast are nothing to brag about. The steak itself (I ordered medium well) was actually pretty good. If I had to say so, I'd say better than Norm's and IHOP steak and eggs breakfast. The girls at the diner were amicable and attentive. I could eat this breakfast every single day if I had the time to do so. Will Definitely be back.

    Man I'll be honest, I was really surprised how good the breakfast food was. That breakfast egg with the hash brown and bacon is maybe top 10 I've ever had. The hash browns are light and fluffy but crispy at the same time. Very nice thick cut bacon with a strong smoky apple wood taste, and the whipped butter is creamy. The sour dough toast was a little too over done like burnt but it's fine with the butter, made it soft. For $3 a taco it's expensive because I could go down the street and find a mom n pop taco truck for half the price but it's the convenience. The pork and beef tacos are very good, authentic Mexican street tacos. Generous amounts of meat for sure and thick cut so each bite is a generous bite. Wide open bites with the tangy salsa. You have to ask for the salsa it doesn't come with it so I asked the pick up counter for it. The fries and the chicken shawarma was good but I've had better. Fries were decent, needed salt or maybe a dash of Mediterranean spices on the fries, they were boring but it was crispy. The chicken shawarma, so do not cut it in half like me, I did and when you pick it up, it falls all over the place like falls apart so big chunks of chicken fell on the hotel floor which is a waste, I paid for $1 extra shawarma sauce and $1 ranch sauce, it did not come with it and it needed extra sauce because of how dry the chicken is. The vegetables are the main show because it came with soo many so it's a healthy option to eat. Overall meal was good but next time I'll skip the shawarma.

Chicken sando is big, great portion size of fries as well. Definitely can share. Normally I don't care for crinkle fries but they were fried & seasoned to perfection.

When it came time for me to order, Ryan at the counter was very friendly to me. Everyone in the restaurant was. I really enjoyed that. I stuck with getting the mild sando, and didn't expect the chicken breast so gigantic! It was a delicious sandwich and the spice was pretty good. I'm glad I didn't go any spicier than that. I ordered the fries which were actually pretty good. They were definitely seasoned, but they weren't heavily in taste sense. They had something for me to drink and it went really well with a meal actually. I'm glad that I could say that I enjoyed this place from beginning to end. It is a little hidden, but luckily for me I found it. Definitely will come back to have my wife try it one day.
