Great place to grab food any time of the day or night! Randy is the best server the cafe has. We love sitting in his section. He is definitely an asset to the casino staff. Keep being wonderful Randy and we will be back soon. Thank you Pala read more

It was like eating at a school cafeteria with a cranky kindergarten server. The chicken fried steak had no gravy and the biscuits and gravy were like water and I'm pretty sure the eggs were fake. So disappointed. Their buffet was amazing. read more

So, we made a special trip to Pala to have a late breakfast. Always had good experiences ther, in the past. We get in line, and there is only one party ahead of us. We wait .. and wait ... and wait. We can see at least two tables are open, but the receptionists aren't seating anyone. After ten minutes, or so, I turn around and there is a line around the corner. Finally, we are seated. We wait ... and wait ... and wait. No coffee ... no server. Meanwhile, AT LEAST two parties who were seated after us order, get their coffee, and their food. I go to the receptionist and tell her nobody is waiting on us. THE RECEPTIONIST takes our order. I ask her if the Pala special comes with hash browns AND pancakes, because I don't want both. She doesn't know. I order it, anyway. We get our coffee ... and wait ... and wait... and wait. No food. I see the manager. I ask her to check on our order. Five minutes later, she brings our food. "Sorry, you waited so long," she says. "I'll give you free hash browns". I ask her who our server was supposed to be. She says it was supposed to be Jose. We finally finish our meal, and Jose comes over to clear the table. First time I've ever met my server after eating my meal. When we go up to pay, I ask the cashier if we really have to pay full price for the meal. She calls the manager over, and the manager says, "I gave you free hash browns". So ... I got that going for me. read more

Place is always off the chain. Sergio is always on top of his game. I recommed him. Always treated as a reguler. So many choices to breakfast to dinner. I get the chicken buffalo sandwich on sourdough. Not on the menu but sergio can make it happen. Its fire with ranch and a ice tea. read more

Pala Cafe - Buffalo sandwich not on menu ask to make on sourdough. - American Near Me - Pala, California

Visited on 2/3/2018 at around 7 pm. Ordered sweet potato fries. Rubbery and old. Chef should've never had these leave the kitchen. Server was okay, but hostess...Not pleasant when I asked her to repeat herself, due to shortage of english knowledge. Please Pala staff, spend the extra dollars and send your immigrants to English 101. I'm not racist, I just want to have normal dialogue in the U.S. read more

Went to Pala the other night and was hungry. Decided to try the Pala cafe. I ordered the country fried steak with a side salad and an iced tea. The salad came out first and it the lettuce wasn't as fresh as I like it and close to wilted. When the country fried steak came out it was hot and the veggies had good flavor. The mashed potatoes were very good. Some of the country fried steak was chewy but for the most part it was good. It took a while to get seated because a lot of the players were ordering to go at the hostess stand. The wait staff should step in and help the hostess get those dining in seated. I would come back and try the club sandwich as the guy who sat next to me had a really large portion. I'll come back and try again. read more

See all

Just had a wonderful breakfast here at the cafe... food and service great..... I am riding my bike.... don't have to worry about it...top notch security here.... Robert B., Highland.... stopped by the cafe again, great breakfast and great service....... keep up the good work Pala...... read more

DIRTY WATER WITH BLACK STUFF FLOATING AND A COFFEE CUP WITH LIPSTICK STILL LEFT ON IT!!! With that being said I jetted immediately and made it clear to the manager the restaurant they are running is FILTHY. I feel bad for the people who ate here... I'm petty disgusted at how filthy this place is. read more

Great breakfast! Blueberry pancakes are huge and yummy! Way to much for 1 person! They need more servers though! Good prices!

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! I ordered eggs benedict and they gave me a hard boiled egg over an English muffin,,,.,,.,...smh my head. But the hash browns were cash money:) read more

I went super late at night (around 2 a.m.) and this place really hit the spot. Service was friendly and fast (the guy serving us said they don't call him Flash for nothing!) and the food was hot and delicious. I ordered the Rueben sandwich, and my boyfriend ordered the corned beef hash (no bearnaise sauce). Corned beef hash was corned beef hash--f*cking delicious. Hash browns were nice and crispy on the outside and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. I could have used a little bit more sauerkraut on my Rueben, but aside from that, they didn't put too much dressing, and the rye bread was buttery and toasted, just the way I like it! I will definitely eat here again the next time I come! read more

This is not the "bisness!!!" I've given it a second chance and the Cafe disappointed me much more this time around. The first time I had steak and eggs and the steak was ... horrible! Tough with no flavor. Sooo this time around I order salmon with crab stuffed ravioli ... OK the salmon was perfect it terms of being seasoned and cooked just right, but they messed it up by drowning it in some pinkish-orange sauce that was for 4 raviolis. I mean it was swimming and I was completely turned off. The staff is friendly but the service is a little slow. Please try to eat elsewhere within the casino like the buffet or the Oak Room before 10pm for a better experience. read more

This place surprised me.... I was expecting so so food, and so so service, but we got neither. The food was absolutely delicious, and I only ordered a club sandwich hot, but it has to be one of the best I have had. And our waiter was great, not to distant, and not to up close. The perfect combo. And the prices are very reasonable. read more

It was a Saturday night and indeed of gambling food. I wanted some sort of sandwich and decided to go with the Philly cheese steak... The service was great and boy was our waitress on top of everything. Every 5 minutes she asked if we needed anything or any refills. When we ordered food literally arrived it was no more than 10 minutes. The sandwich was like a foot long and came which fresh crispy fries .. Best dessert to try is their creme brule!! its unbelievable!! read more

Ate at Pala cafe, twice this past weekend. The food was great and the service was awesome. Becky, our server, was very friendly and extremely helpful in deciding our meals. The atmosphere is relaxed and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

A great cafe inside a casino. Been here a few times and it has been good. Both times for breakfast and the food was better than I expected. The current time I visited I got the chicken fried steak chicken and waffles. Basicly chicken and waffles. It was awesome. The chicken was huge, along with the Belgian waffle. Plus it came with a side of country gravy, which I could have ate with a spoon it was so good. Forgot to take a pic, but trust me you won't leave hungry with this meal. read more

I ordered the veggie burger and their homemade potato salad. I wasn't a huge fan of the salad due to lack of flavor (I had to add salt/pepper and a little bit of hot sauce) but the veggie burger was amazing! My friend order the club and had them toast it...she devoured it as well. Service is a little slow but expected because its a busy casino. read more

I have been to many holes-in-the-wall, think alley way dives in old LA Chinatown, NYC off-Canal, San Diego's Barrio Logan. None however, compared to what was ABSOLUTELY THE WORST dining experience I had in my life. To start, the so called hostess greets us without even making eye contacts. Our waitress, literally frisbeed the menus on our table, and WALKED off. My bbq bacon burger came with a gooey sauce (served on the side) that makes a McRib sandwich looks and tastes gourmet. My wife's salmon sandwich, well, there were two buns and something that resembles frozen fish sticks, which we left untouched. The cobb salad came without any dressing. When we asked, our I-DONT-WANT-TO-BE-HERE-TODAY waitress didn't apologize, and snapped the "what dressing do you want" response. Holy cow! I have had MUCH MUCH MUCH better service at Denny's, IHOP, and even 7-Elevens. Is this a restaurant? Do these wait staff work for a living, or are they successful models volunteering their time, as a courtesy to the casino? Lol. All and all, food was a 0 out of 10. Service was a negative 5 out of 10. Oh, I couldn't even find the manager to complain about this. Given this was part of Pala, wouldn't management care about how badly this place is run? Bottom line, if you are hungry, get a bag of chips from the vending machine. It tastes better and you can forego the aggravation. read more

Best filet mignon EVER. I always love stoping here when my husband and I go to Pala. They always make my food amazingly and the waiters/waitresses are super nice. They know us by now, we stop by so much. But they always make my food to perfection. I look forward to going and eating here. I highly suggest getting the filet mignon. It comes with shrimp scampi, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. YUMMY. read more

Pretttttty pretty nasty. Salad & chicken wings are decent. The "ribs" are actually pot roast and the fish & chips - gross. Our waiter, on the other hand, was very friendly. read more

For breakfast at a casino this is the place to go and it's reasonably priced. The food was your basic corn beef hash and eggs, the waitress and waiters were friendly. read more

Great food! We really enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Tenders appetizer, the Fries, the BLAT, the Carne Asada Burrito and the Grilled Cheese. Randy was our server and he was ten stars! What a great guy! We will be back... read more

My friends and I have eaten at Pala every time we have come to stay which is numerous times a year. We have never had a problem with service or food. The portions are so large we normally end up splitting any meal. They are very accommodating with any type of request. The only issue I have with them is there coffee is way too strong. read more

I usually grab dinner here while I'm at my "second" job. Good service and good food. It's not gourmet dining, but it does the job if you are looking for a burger or late night breakfast. read more

I came here because it's the only place in the area that does steak and egg breakfast.. We got seated immediately... That's the only reason I gave it two stars... Waited 40 minutes for the food which was mediocre at best... Very disappointed read more

Not a late night eatery. I was turned away by at least three phone calls until they looked at me.

Very good food and HUGE portions. The server did a great job keeping up with our group of 10.

The service For the waitress was awful, her name is Cristina she was so rude!!!!!! She didn't even greet us, she even threw our plates at us!! The food took to long for them to serve it to us!! When we complained to the supervisor and tell her how rude Cristina was to us she was like "meh" like nothing happened. read more

This is a decent little cafe. Good food, good prices. Nothing spectacular. It was a little perplexing to see a line of people waiting to get in, and a row of two-tops shoved together to become four-tops when most people were in couples. They could have gotten us in faster by better utilizing their tables. Our waiter was very nice, but very scarce... the table next to us had their server visit every few minutes, and we waited like 10 to pay the bill. It was very strange to see our server handling tables far away... why not assign tables in groups? Oh well, we weren't in a hurry. I'll definitely go back, but there is some room for improvement. read more

Great food! Love all you can eat lobster! Worst part is the two hours of waiting in line. Maybe because I went on a wrong day.

I'm giving them a 5-Star rating due to the exceptional customer service from our server, Pauline, who was very courteous, fast, and friendly. And, of course, the food we (last Saturday night with my cousin) ordered, great tasting Corned Beef Reuben and French Toast we both shared. The portions were generous, very filling and satisfying. read more

Best Thanksgiving! Best service! Happy Day with my family! Everyone was smiling and very friendly. Thankful to be here and experience the Pala family. Crab legs and Lobster was on point! read more

You guys get a 5 star only because the service was superb both times I've went late late night! The host is friendly and the wait staff, which I did dine really late and had two different waitresses on two different occassions. Pleasant experience. They are very attending and personable. I don't get that feeling like I'm being rushed or get the feel that they are tired from thier job even late night early morning. These people were either trained really well with the service or they have really good experience and happen to like thier job or at least show it! I had the pastrami... it was ok... the toasty bread made it good but they could add some juices or dipping to the sandwich... another time I had the pala breakfast... everything was good. I'm glad the breakfast wasn't greasy!!! I was just really pleased with my waitresses always with a smile on thier face and always checking up on me, Great Service!!! read more

Breakfast burrito was surprisingly good, though too greasy by the end. Pancakes didn't have a lot of flavor but were still good.

The staff was a bit inattentive, but the food was better than expected. The fruits were freshly cut instead that nasty sticky old fruit you would expect from a casino cafe. Every ingredient in my omelet was thoroughly cooked without any burning or mush and the side of potatoes was surprisingly flavorful. Worth a try if you find yourself staying at the hotel, even if I didn't get the bill after my first request. read more

This review os for Lorenzo, he helped me out at the food court deli area across the cafe. Not just tonight is he always so kind, but every time i see him. Hes a class act gentleman with so much to offer. Good things in the future for this young man. read more

Generous portions. Ordered the club sandwich and the philly cheeseteak sandwich. The club sandwich was about 2.5-3 inches thick and the philly cheesesteak was about the size of a pringle can. If you're ordering take out you can skip the line. read more
