    burger and fries
    Steve B.

    The burger meat was a flavorless as was the cheesesteak; visually it looked ok but probably best to go outside and get an in n out burger instead for half the price and twice the flavor. Server did a good job with delivery to table.

    Country Fried Steak

    Dave had the country fried steak (or was it Chicken fried?). It was delicious and HUGE! So huge, in fact, he had it for 2 meals. I had the veggie scramble with eggs over medium. I cannot tell you how great it was. Perfect in every way. Large portions. Great potatoes. Great veggies. Perfectly cooked eggs. Our server was Lola and she was there with coffee and there with a smile. When we go back, we will be looking for her. She was perfect!! Cute little diner inside the smaller casino. Looking for great food, fair prices and large portions? Stop in.

    On the way home from Palms Springs sometimes you get a little hungry and want to hit a "PitStop". Located inside the old Casino Morongo, PitStop Diner has been serving customers for years. Today my family and I got to stop and enjoy some of the fried goodness on their menu but thats not all they have. Everything we ordered came put fresh and warm. Everything warm, fresh, and crispy. The perfect crunchy exterior to a warm delicious soft inner fries. They made sure the food was too your liking. The service was great, the waitress made sure to check on you every so often to make sure everything was okay. I hope to the next person who sees this review has a much as a great experience as I did. Thank you PitStop for the warm and scrumptious meal.

    We always come to this spot because not only is it delicious it's always clean. Today we had the most lovely server her name was Deborah. She was so sweet and called you baby or hunny which had that hometown feeling. She made sure all of our food was correct and hot. She made sure we had sauces for all the different foods. She was so nice and attentive as well. Hope she stays for a while!! Food was hot and fresh. Got the platter which was a little bit of it all chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and French fries. Next time I want to try the zucchini table next to us got it and it looked and smelled delicious. Definitely one of the best casino diners I've been too.

    Is this one of Americas great Diners???? Put on the brakes because it is not. But it is a good Casino diner! Pit Stop services the small older side of Morongo Casino in Cabazon. The side with bowling bingo ad Poker. The menu is big and the do offer daily specials including a daily $27 Prime Rib dinner. I had the Frisco burger and that was a great patty melt with a expertly executed Parmesan crust on sour dough bread. The pre-fab coated and seasoned fries were very good, hot, crisp and just minutes out of the freezer. Im not complaining but my friends were, they didnt like this style of French fry and thought they tasted fishy. The Ice-cold Onion rings were immediately sent back to the kitchen and fresh hot order arrived in about 15 minutes. Service was good and yes we would eat here again on our next visit to Morongo bingo, because it's the only option.

    This is easy off and on the 10. If you're hungry, don't pass this up. Easy parking too! You'll pull up to the old Morongo Casino but it's not what you think... You don't have to be a gambler to make this great pit stop! Or go ahead and gamble in this small, clean and friendly casino. The Pit Stop diner is straight ahead as you come in the door. Enjoy sweet, attentive service by "Lola", in her sparkling clean 50s diner, Pick your spot and get ready to enjoy some great food. Im a catfish aficionado, on my way to Texas for the real thing and found it right here! Texas style hush puppies, best crispy fries you've ever had, excellent fresh coleslaw, and... fried catfish! The catfish has a light crispy, crunchy cornmeal breading, fried to perfection, with high quality "clean" tender catfish. "Clean" means it doesn't taste like a bottom dweller, which it is! Hubby loved his "Big Rig" $10 breakfast with eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and pancakes. Even the coffee was above board, fresh and rich coffee flavor. See you soon Lola, on our way back!

    Pit Stop Diner exceeded my expectations! Going into a casino for brunch.. set the bar low. I was pleasantly surprised with my meal. Portions were large, selection was wide enough, and service was all kind. My friends and I weren't distracted by the sound of slot machines nearby. We even enjoyed the throwback tunes playing on the diner speakers.

    Driving back from Palm Springs, we were done with late night fast food for dinner. Few choices for a sit down but the Pit Stop Diner was open. Located inside Morongo Casino, it is on the casino floor. It has an extensive menu and there kinda funny to hear the ka-chning of the machines while were eating. The food was tasty, good portion size and filling. Service was friendly and efficient. Our server tried to help us save money by promoting their rewards program. Now we know where to go if we want to enjoy a sit down meal.

    The food was so fresh and good!!! Love it! Service was great! Food was fast and you can tell it was just cooked!

    The Pitstop is a wonderful little diner located in the "Casino Morongo" section of Morongo Casino. This is in the smaller building adjacent to the main casino. There are some slot machines and a small bar as you walk in, and then you see the diner. The breakfasts were top-notch. I enjoyed my "build your own omelet." I was happy there was turkey sausage, as many restaurants do not carry that. My mom ordered a ham steak with eggs. I didn't snap a picture, but her ham was as big as steak and had a perfect char grill. Everything was yummy, and I even got to enjoy a Morongo Mule adult beverage. Service was friendly, efficient, and with a smile. This will definitely be our regular diner anytime we are out in this area.

    Whats in my view!!!

We first had dinner on a Saturday evening & then AYCE brunch buffet the next day. The ambiance was modern & cozy. We sat by the huge window seating overlooking the desert which was surprisingly nice. They had a Live pianist on Saturday evening which gave the dining experience a romantic vibe. We started off with bone marrow to share which was packed with flavor. Hubby had the ribeye steak & I had Chilean sea bass. The ribeye was tender & cooked to perfection. The sea bass was cooked beautifully. The miso glaze over the fish was delicious & not overly salty. The roasted shiitake mushroom & bok choy were good complement to the dish. We ordered a bottle of red wine which paired very well with our dish. The brunch buffet was solid. It included many different options (appetizers, breakfast items, hot food, prime rib station, seafood, dessert, etc) to choose from. My favorite part at any buffet is always the seafood section. The seafood here was fresh. The Service was attentive & excellent for both dinner & brunch. I'd come here again if I stayed here in the future.

I was wearing the ring that evening and still had it when I went to bed, but it was gone by morning when I began packing. The ring is approximately 3 carats total, including a 2 carat center stone. We searched the room thoroughly before leaving and rechecked all luggage again once we got home, with no success. My husband contacted the hotel and was told the morning staff would be asked. Given the value of this item, that response is not sufficient. A property at this level should have a clear, documented lost-and-found process with accountability, rather than relying on informal follow-up. We paid over $600 for a one-night stay. The level of urgency and communication so far does not reflect the seriousness of the situation. I am requesting that management conduct a formal review, including verification with housekeeping, review of lost-and-found records, and any applicable security procedures, and provide a direct, documented follow-up.

We were in the mood for some Japanese food and this place popped up so we headed on over! The street looked completely abandoned so it was a little weird. We luckily found parking right up front and were greeted by the lady bartender. She was chatting with a few guys at the bar but otherwise the place was empty for a Saturday night, maybe because it was still during the holidays. The music was loud but played some great classic r&b and hip hop songs. We walked to sit at the high tables at the back and Leslie, the bartender, came over to bring us water and menus. We ordered some small stuff, house dumplings and their crunchy roll to share. I guess I didn't read it properly but didn't expect the roll to be soy paper which wasn't a big deal at all! The crunchy tempura bits on the top were yummy and overall a solid roll but could barely finish it. The gyoza were great though! They had some game shows playing on the tvs like ninja warrior and all that. Not a bad spot and probably better for drinks rather than food.
