One of our favorite places to eat. Actually, all the restaurants at Valley View are fantastic. Great food options that are typically well served and tasty. We do however have our preferred or favorite servers, food runners and hosts. We prefer and LOVE Monica. Her energy, intelligence, and smile are top notch. Andres a food runner has been there a long time who also has a great personality, and one of the few runners who actually remembers to bring you a requested item. These individuals we've known a long time, and believe they would be better suited as trainers, supervisors or even management. I'd include Tomas in our Patties favorites, but he was moved to Black and Blue Steak House. Another favorite restaurant at Valley View. We're also fans of Michael, and a few others I can't remember their names at the moment, especially an extremely likable, smaller statured food runner who was made a server a few months ago. Having been in management in the plumbing industry I know how important training in one's daily tasks and people skills is to a quality business like Valley View Casino, the only casino we frequent. Unfortunately, bad experiences happen even in the best of establishments. Last night at Patties we had a new server who seemed so serious, barely a smile. Which is fine. I don't mind that so much. Definitely not enduring or memorable though. She did her job well, and even checked to make sure our food tastes good, and if we had all we needed. My main issue came when we got our bill, and I asked her to adjust the tip. I realize how cheap that sounds, but let me continue. When we first were ordering we mentioned we had a lot of food we wanted to take home. It was the end of the month, and we had over a hundred dollars worth of food vouchers we needed to use up. We normally don't have any left over. She excitedly, almost smiling encouraged us to order our takeout right away with her, "otherwise we would have a long wait, if we didn't put our order in right away." We spent just under $60.00 for our sit down meal. Our normal 20% would've been $12.00 on the $60.00. Our to go order was just under $100.00, which I felt definitely deserved a tip, but not the 20% suggested gratuity that the bill included. Maybe we were being cheap. I don't know. The obvious anger on her face when I asked her to adjust the tip was palpable. I asked her to adjust the $32.00, "Suggested Gratuity," to $20.00, which I would've been grateful for the years of being a food server in college. She got 20% for our dining in, and about 10% for our to go order. Not so cheap after all. When she returned with the revised bill, she was so mad she could barely talk. Poor thing. Felt kind of bad for her. She muttered a couple of times I could barely hear her, but kept asking what she said. The third time she said clearer that we shouldn't order to go food with her, that we should go to the to go window next time. She should've been happy for the 20% on the meal, and 10% on the to go order. It all adds up over the shift. We definitely will avoid her at all costs. Next time we'll request our favorites. read more

3 stars (or whatever fits your vibe--solid but not standout) Honestly, I probably wouldn't drive all the way out here just to eat at Patties & Pints. It's tucked inside Valley View Casino, about 45 minutes north of central San Diego, so unless you're already gambling, staying overnight, or in the area, it's not a destination spot. There are plenty of better standalone burger joints or pubs closer to home. That said, the food is good--nothing mind-blowing or worth raving about, but reliably solid for casino pub fare. We went with burgers from their signature all-beef blend, and they hit the spot without any major complaints. The deep-dish pizzas, wings, fries, and other apps seem consistent based on what I've seen around. Portions are decent, and it's satisfying if you're craving something hearty with a beer. Our server, Marcus, was decent too--just did his job without going above and beyond. Attentive enough, no issues, but nothing exceptional either. One thing that really bugged me: they automatically add a tip (auto-gratuity) even for a two-person table. That's ridiculous in my book. It feels like it removes any incentive for better service and just assumes mediocrity is fine. For small parties in a casual spot like this, it comes off as greedy. The place itself is clean and well-organized, which is a nice change from some casino spots. But it's pretty small for a casino restaurant, so it can feel cramped. Seating/waiting is poorly managed--wait times drag on, and the system for calling names or seating people isn't smooth at all. Bottom line: If you're already at Valley View Casino, hungry, and don't feel like dealing with the buffet line (or want something quicker and more casual with beers and TVs for games), Patties & Pints is a fine option. It's convenient in that context. Otherwise, skip the drive--it's just average casino eats. Good luck, and hope the slots are kinder than the auto-tip policy! read more

Okay so outside of eating at a restaurant located in a Casino, your mood kinda depends on whether you're winning or losing...so I usually like to eat before gambling so my food isn't influenced by my gambling lol. But...there was some hiccups in the beginning and it was settled by both the manager and this wonderful sous chef by the name of Christian. He explained how the grills need to be cleaned prior to cooking the vegan food in order to avoid co-contamination. I can appreciate that so much! Being vegan is difficult when dining out when the menu offers both vegan and non vegan foods. Because we cannot see what goes on behind the scenes, it's hard to determine just how conscious the cooks are with handling our vegan order. I am grateful to know that this place takes extra precautions to ensure that our vegan food is properly prepared separately from other meat products. Thank you! I commend the Chef and staff for their excellent work! read more

Came back and ordered chicken wings and Mediterranean salad. And of course our favorite churros. Chicken wings meat is moist and crispy on the outside. Salad as always is made from fresh ingredients.

I came here for dinner last night with my family. Our server Monica was great. She really seemed like she enjoyed working there and had a great attitude. Food was great. We come here often and always get great service. Even the manager came to check on us. Always a plus. The only thing I would say is there is a server there who has a horrible attitude, dresses sloppy and looks like he is miserable the entire time we were dining last night. His shirt was half tucked in with a grumpy frown all night. I work in the industry so I know how it can get sometimes, I suggest he take his frustrations out on the back of the house. He was huffing and puffing right behind us as we were trying to enjoy our meal. He truly looks like he hates his job read more

The rib eye this time was juicy and cut was a little thicker. Also tried the pizza and it was worth the money. Service is A plus. Front desk you're welcomed and greeted gives you good vibes.

The Prime Rib here is legit and one of the best we've had even when compared to actual steak house restaurants. Super juicy, tender, cooked to the right texture & temperature with a good sear! Very generous portion for a hungry diner and for such a cheap price. The Ribeye was also decent and perfectly grilled but the portion size is smaller (maybe around 75% of the prime rib in terms of thickness and size). Will definitely get 2 Prime Ribs instead the next time we visit. If you're a meat lover, make sure to try the Prime Rib out when you visit! If you're new to the casino, make sure to sign-up as a new member to get a free $10 dining credit that you can use for your meal. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Our server, Monica, was attentive, proactive and checked up on us throughout our meal. Ambiance is your typical casual diner type - no frills and fast! read more

Burgers and chimichuri salad! Yum. Service has gotten better in the last year. Much improved.

We had a long wait to be seated which seems to be typical from what I've read. We didn't mind too much, just played some more while we waited. Our server was lovely and took good care of us. The food seemed to take a very long time to arrive. We all got sandwiches with a side and felt the price was fair. My bread was a bit over grilled but it was tasty. My family all enjoyed theirs. The dining area is open so you can watch the gamblers. All in all it was good just not exceptional. read more

For a restaurant inside of a casino I would have to say it's one of my favorites. It doesn't open till 4:00 p.m. but has the most amazing French onion soup I've ever had, and the ribeye steak dinner is out of this world if you find yourself at Valley View Casino check it out you will enjoy. And if you get a chance ask for the server name Eliana she is amazing and is by far in my opinion the best server in the entire restaurant read more

Patties and pints is a great place to eat at if you are in Valley Center. There is a nice bar and TVs all around if you are trying to catch a sport game. The staff is terrific and the food is pretty good (especially the chicken wings), however, for a buger place there are not a lot of burger choices. I got the Philly because I didn't find a burger that peaked my interest. Overall, I recommend thos place and will definately be going back. read more

Great food large portions very attentive service. We went here on Mother's Day weekend when even with a black card the wait was too long for a very large group of us. Pattie's got our party of 12 seated pretty quickly and we enjoyed a variety of their dishes including steaks, prime rib, salmon, blackened tuna, fish and chips, pizzas and a range of appetizers such as cauliflower, shrimp ceviche , and salads. Nice window side open view. read more

Yeah, a good spot. The wife was craving prime rib and they were one-of-two available this Sunday eve. Parking was a swift walk in when using the tower's elevator entrance. We were able to immediately sit at the bar in a quickly turned over pair of chairs. Our drinks were cheap and the order came out rather swiftly that also included an impressive burger, stacked very high (it got a lot of looks), and cooked perfectly medium. The prime rib was good enough for satisfying the need, but a little less than tender to the fork. There was a game or two on the tvs, but the crowd was calm and enchanted with their own food, drinks, conversations or casino losses. I've got a feeling we'll be back. Dicks read more

Fun atmosphere at Patties & Pints in Valley View Casino! They were very very busy. It was Mother's Day evening and because we couldn't get a table for 1.5 hours we decided to sit at the bar and that was a fun atmosphere. The servers and bartenders were nothing but very pleasant, hard-working and on top of of it!! They took our drink order right away and our food order as soon as our drinks came....even though they were EXTREMELY busy. They were all very pleasant and fun natured. Every restaurant should be like that! Now the food... Those bone in wings are the best wings I've had in a very long time!! DELISH!!! we also had some kind of shrimp that was really really really good!! Oh, their bloody Mary was amazing also! I could go on but I just wanted to make sure I got a review in because I was so impressed. read more

I ordered mostly on the to-go side that's located to the right of the restaurant. I like that this place has a beeper to tell us when our food is ready. I ordered the Bronx pizza which came with sopressata, Italian sausage, red onion, marinara sauce, fontina, mozarella, and provolone cheese. It was very doughy, I thought it would be thin crust but it's a thicker Chicago style pizza. It was ok. Their Philly cheese steak, I would not buy again. It was very dry. I did like their clam chowder much more, it had a nice, thick consistency. The staff is nice. read more

My group had the fish and chips, pepperoni pizza and the shrimp appetizer. The service was a bit on the slow side, but they seemed to be a little understaffed.

Everytime I stay at Harrahs casino I go here for dinner since it's so close. The atmosphere is laid back, its clean and the food is good. They do have a bar in front of the restaurant and they always have whatever game that's on that day. Plenty of T.V's to watch on through the restaurant. They do open at 4 pm everyday so plain ahead because they can get busy. My husband and I just ate here a few days ago and we had nachos, salad and pizza. Everything was delicious! I ordered a Oreo shake to go and man, it was so tasty! We enjoy ourselves when we come! I would have given it 5 stars if they opened up earlier to have breakfast or lunch options. I wish you had more locations in CA. read more

The food was quite tasty and filling. We had the Greek Salad with grilled chicken and the steak sandwich with a side salad. Both pleasing to the eye and palate. Service was impeccable, attentive, and our server Kerry really seemed to enjoy her job. Although they have yet to add pizza to the menu, we would definitely return. Wish them Good Luck in the future. Ambiance was average for the area. No issues with cleanliness, restrooms were well maintained. read more

Don't let the start fool you, this is a very respectable option for dining in a casino in San Diego. Especially if you compare it to other options in the area. I've been here many times and never had an issue other than sometimes it takes a little long and I can't eat that much food. The food is delicious, hot and big. The shakes are so good it's hard to avoid them but be warned, if you aren't a big eater, you will have a lot to take home with you. I say keep up the good work and I'll see you all soon. read more

This was on Christmas Eve 2023, actually a slow day as the casino was not packed. There was no line anywhere. Went to try out Patties & Pints because the price for basic player card holder at the buffet was a bit too much for our party of three. The place looks inviting, tucked away in a corner and you could still look out to the casino machines but still feel some privacy in your little corner. There were lots of choices on the menu and we ordered the loaded nachos for a starter, while we perused the menu some more. A few minutes wait and here comes the nachos on a large platter. It's a pretty good size, attractive to look at but a bit salty and the chips were soggy. Their sour cream was a bit thick. I'm used to the store bought dollop of daisy and theirs wasn't it. We had to taste it several times wondering if this was indeed sour cream. It was more like a cream cheese consistency and taste, perfect if you had it on a bagel. After about five minutes into the nachos, we were ready for more substantial food so we call the waitress, Paulina, over. She was nice, very friendly. We ordered a Large Plate of Fish and Chips and a glass of Merlot. We continue digging into the nachos and the minutes tick by. Ten minutes. Fifteen minutes. Okay, the fish must be taking so long to cook. Twenty minutes. Nothing. In the meantime, other people's foods keep coming out and these people just sat. Mind you, the restaurant was not packed. The group of waiters/waitresses were standing by in a corner by the kitchen. I call over Paulina and she asks how she can help and I remind her about our fish and chips and Merlot order that has been taking so long. Then she acts flabbergasted and mumbles that she'll check with the kitchen because she knew she put the order in. She looked unsure to us. So she goes to the kitchen then comes back and tells us it would be another ten to fifteen minutes wait. I ask her what about my Merlot, will that be another wait? And she goes no, I can bring that right out. And by this time we were fed up with the wait and a bit full from the nachos so we ask her to just bring the wine, cancel the fish and chips and bring the check. The check had a 20% gratuity tacked on and she asked if that was okay with me? I didn't ask why she needed to ask but I said that was fine with me. After all, why wouldn't I tip, it was Christmas Eve, after all. We left the Patties & Pints disappointed, in search of other food offerings at Valley View Casino. read more

Sometimes the line is way too long but during the week and when there's no drawings it's not too bad If you don't mind sitting in the bar area it's faster service, first come first serve.

Since this is the only restaurant we hadn't visited yet during our 2-4 trips a month to Valley View Casino, it was time. For full up front disclosure, we used our dinner comp vouchers to pay for the entire meal so they only thing out of our pocket was the tip and the money lost on the slot machines which prompted VVC to pity us and provide some free food. They're only open limited hours, starting at 4pm. I was in the middle of a good bonus round so didn't arrive to get in line until about 4:05, and there was a good line of people waiting to be seated. The good news is, it's nothing like the line to get into the buffet. Doing a mental count of how many people where in line, minus the number of tables available, I wasn't sure if everyone would be seated. After about a 10 minute wait though, we were led to our table. About 10 minutes after that, the line was gone. I had read other reviews, and know from previous experience at BLD (Now, "The Cafe") and how they buffet works, none of the restaurants at VVC are speedy. That can be good or bad. Good because you're not losing money on the casino floor. Bad, if you're excited to get back out on the casino floor to loose money or are super hungry. Seating so many people right at opening is bound to back up the kitchen and bar staff, but we were eventually attended too. (Note: someone did notice we didn't have our drinks after a few minutes and did let us know they were on their way.) Having tried the prime rib at the buffet and Black and Blue, we had to compare, so 2 prime rib meals it was. One served with baked potato ($6/extra, but it was comped so we didn't care) and the other with garlic tater tots. Can you think of better bar food than garlic tater tots? (Note: I don't drink so didn't have a beer, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate good tater tots though.) The prime rib was better than the buffet, but you're not paying for a Black and Blue cut either, so I put this prime rib in the middle. A thinner piece, but still delicious. LOVED the tater tots! Throw in a couple spears of asparagus and you've got a meal. No bread though, but I guess the tater tots make up for it. For desert, we ordered the old fashioned chocolate cake with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. We could have split it with 3 other tables. At first, I thought it was a little dry, but that's because the chocolate frosting is hidden between the layers. Only sad thing was I never received a refill of my diet coke, so down one star. It's my thing at sit down restaurants. The server that brings me another before the first is empty is a rock star in my book. Overall, we'll probably rotate this place in with the others depending on the time we arrive and are hungry. When it warms up again, I might even go for one of their milkshakes. read more
