The restaurant upstairs is what makes the Red Dolly worth going to. Great food at a great price, I eat most of my meals here when I'm in town. 4 stars instead of 5 because, if you're expecting a casino, you're going to be disappointed; it's really just a bar with a few slot machines. Update: Went back yesterday for dinner and I see what some people are complaining about; from the time I got seated it took a good 20 minutes before the waitress took my order. In her defense, she was by herself and she was acting as hostess/waitress/cashier/busboy and the place was pretty busy...I didn't hold it against her, they need more help. Also, there's a lot more slot machines here than I thought. My guess was that they had a couple dozen, but it's more like 100. Always somebody playing, so I guess some people like to play here. read more

Initially wanting to take the family to an AYCE buffet but the pricing has gotten so insane that we were looking around for deal. $9.99 for prime rib dinner cannot be beat. Actually, everything on the menu was super reasonable and they were busy for dinner on a Thursday night. Our server Aggy was amazing, the restaurant area is not huge but she ran it like a champ. Provided topnotch service and remembered all of our orders accurately without any notes. She was the only one running the show while we were there. She also celebrated her 22nd anniversary working at Red Dolly the night we visited the restaurant. The prime rib was thin-ish but delicious, baked potato was creamy, the dinner came with a potato - mashed, baked or fries - of your choosing, or you can pick onion rings. It also came with a side of green beans, a small roll and horseradish sauce. All in all we had a great time at the Red Dolly at the end of the town and would highly recommend their prime rib special for anyone looking for a tasty deal. Thanks Aggy for taking care of us and happy work anniversary! read more

Prime Rib- I have been eating the Prime Rib special here when it was priced at just $6.99. The price went up and the quality went down. Very disappointing! I had it and the portion was very thin and very tough. Other changes now are no carry outs on the weekend. I'm not sure why but it's the new rule. I wanted to bring a French Dip home (good sandwich), but the waitress said no. So, I ordered it as a meal at the table which made her mad. I'm glad I did because the Prime Rib I couldn't get a knife through, so I ended up eating that mostly. Bottom line is you will probably be happy with anything on the menu except the Prime Rib special. read more

Red Dolly Casino - French dip sandwich is better than the prime rib in my opinion - Casinos Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

Waitress in the restaurant was so angry. I don't know why but she was super unfriendly. Prime rib special was below average beans were cold and unseasoned from a can. Gravy was way too salty. No bathroom upstairs in the restaurant which is actually just 8 tables thrown into an empty space no atmosphere at all read more

This may have just become my favorite casino in Black Hawk. The 9.99 prime rib is stellar and I'm coming back for the 7.77 breakfast which looks to have everything you need. The drinks are flowing, it's smoke free and all the employees seem to enjoy the customers. read more

This place is another cute little gem nestled above the small casino floor. We can twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner...overall the food did not disappoint. The picture I added was from a family breakfast, place is really small so to expedite our party of 7 we split up into 2 tables. My little brother could come since it's 21+ to eat here Fri-Sun. The service was very friendly and due it being a small place, we waited a bit for the food to come out but once it did it was very delicious...good enough to come back a 3rd time for a quick late night snack (recommends the Chicken Alfredo and the Burger) read more

Red dolly is a very old very small casino. It has a lot of nostalgia. The games are up-to-date, but there's not very many of them and usually they're they have a great little diner with really yummy food and good service. The staff there is friendly. I got the chili renello they were the bomb chicken sandwiches are amazing not too expensive if you're looking for something other than a buffet. read more

We had the prime rib at another casino near by the night before so we chose to try something else. The wife wanted the cheese curds and I chose the grill cheese on Texas toast but added bacon. Very good and still super cheap. The hostess and waitress were both great and very personable. This was our second trip to Black Hawk and we knew we had to come back to the Red Dolly since it has such a huge history in the area and it is just cool to come into an old time casino like the Red Dolly. This place is a must. read more

Red Dolly Casino - Grill cheese with bacon added plus cheese curds! - Casinos Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

A cute and small old timey casino in Black Hawk with a lot of charm. The casino is quite small and cramped, but lots of people were using the machines and having a good time. On the other hand, the restaurant could use some work. Being my sister's 21st birthday and prime rib being one of her favorite foods we decided to stop by, as they were advertising a $7.99 prime rib dinner. Me not being a big red meat eater, I opted for the chicken parmesan. Well, let's just say it was food. And none of it was made fresh. The noodles were all falling apart, the crusted chicken was soggy and on top of it all, the meal was cold. My sister thought the prime rib was good, but not the best. The drinks were probably the highlight. They made a good margherita and strawberry daiquiri. read more

$8 PRIME RIB PLATTER, A+++! Don't let the price deceive you, it's a delicious, flavorful, juicy, tasty and massive piece of prime rib! The bun, corn, potato, toppings are good but the star of the show is the PRIME RIB! I have eaten at specialty prime rib restaurants but this slice was steps above what I had before. Flavor, softness, juiciness, size, price..... Forgive my rambling. Service was friendly. Whole menu is affordable and patrons relaxed. Restaurant is on the 2nd floor. No need to get their players card to get deals/specials at their restaurant. Ground floor is a clean and bright gambling floor. Quite busy. They have their own parking lot. Also, the BR shuttle stops there. read more

We love visiting Blackhawk in the summer as it is a quiet get away from the big city of Dallas. We used to love going to Red Dolly each time we visited because they have great food! I mean we would eat there every day. While the customer service has never been that warm we usually get our food to go (the food is good). Unfortunately our last visit confirmed it would be our last. Although we have been visiting for the last 9 years and sending people to the Red Dolly Restaurant, after our treatment this week we have decided not to return. We ended up visiting and staying at Grand Z. We were treated very nicely (restaurant and hotel). The prime rib was delicious!. I don't usually leave reviews or negative ones, but I am sad that we have to part ways with Red Dolly Restaurant. It is all in how you treat people, but I doubt that matters to them. read more

Food was great! Service was friendly and quick. A super quaint casino and restaurant. Parking was plentiful. Highly recommend!

This is my favorite cozy place in the casino area. You can leave the judgment and attitude at the door. The ladies Aggie and Nina are the heart of the restaurant. Each time they remember my order and are kind to my husband and myself. The upstairs restaurant is cheap, and the quality is high. I have eaten here 1,000's of times. My favorites entrees are as follows. At breakfast I love the eggs over easy, bacon, toast, and pancakes. Then for lunch I chose an old fashion hamburger and French fries. Lastly at dinner time I favor the chili fries with both chilies on the side for an appetizer. My husband enjoys prime rib dinner. While I favor the hamburger taco salad add ranch. A+ Great Job. read more

Ok let's be honest I came for the prime rib! A local told me about it and wow! You can't beat the cost or the amount they give you ! Wow so full. Service was good and honestly when I looked around was not the place I expected to eat well at ! With that said I recommend this little gem! read more

Cost/Benefit Analysis: Too high a cost with no benefit. I definitely do not recommend this establishment! "Pub-Rescue" meet "Ozark!" A "dive" in every sense of the word. We left our food uneaten. Prime-rib should not be gray. Chicken should not be pink. After we were seated; toothless vagrants, with a dog-no less, were received and seated in the dining room. The building has the appearance of a historic establishment--straight out of Atlantic City or Lake Tahoe. Maybe it burned-down at some point? Cost/Benefit Analysis: Too high a cost with no benefit. I definitely do not recommend this establishment! Stay away! read more

This is one of the nicest casinos in Blackhawk. It's a small quaint place where have a great meal very tiny inside but very clean is the cleanest casino I've ever seen. They have a housekeeper on the floor who takes care of everything. The staff is amazing if you want good fun, nice gambling excellent food and I'm telling you, you can win some money at this place have to say best place read more

All the staff was great!! We had a good time had the fish and chips huge portions. First time at Red dolly definitely will not be the last!!!! read more

Great staff, food and up to date slots. Slots seem to be looser here. Great menu also!

Never hit the slots here, but gatdum do they have a one hell of a steak and egg breakfast. Reasonably priced to boot!

No. Turn around. Rude as hell. We must have spent well over $80 just waiting for the brunette ESL waitress to come take our drink order. She was very rude to us from the beginning, Idk but she could have also been unsatisfied with our tip. Seriously, she ignored us for an hour so we went to the bar where she told us that she would only serve us while we were actively gambling, so we left because we had nothing left. ...nevermind we were wasting money while she was sitting at the bar eating her lunch. Very rude. Never coming back. Teach your waitresses better and people will want to spend money here. Makes sense right? Never coming back. We could have bought 2 big buffets at the Ameristar for the time wasted. Next. read more

This place is the best in black hawk for price and great food. I've had a great green chili smothered lunch burrito, and amazing tasty burgers. Their deserts are to die for. Highly recommended.

The bartender Millie was rude, never again! The manager was just as bad! Avoid this place at all costs! Waiting to get a drink meanwhile she was sitting down with the manager drinking a tea or whatever and insinuating I wasnt playing so she wasnt going to serve me. Check your cameras as I spent money at your casino! Shes gross, manager is gross that place is gross! Bye! 0 stars! read more

Super clean. Super cute. Loose machines! Friendly staff. We plan on trying the restaurant next time!

We always stop by for a Prime Rib lunch or dinner at Red Dolly. We've been coming here for over 20 years and bringing friends and family too. Never are we dissapointed. They have a great Players Club, free drinks while you're gambling. I highly recommend a stop on your way up or down the hill. read more

I stopped in recently to take a little breather during the walk from Central City to Black Hawk, and to sign up for a players card. I'm not sure if this property is open 24 hours or not. Staff members were friendly, and I got a coupon for a $2.99 prime rib dinner, which I've heard is excellent. Big plus for the coupon not having an expiration date. The restaurant appeared to be on the upper floor. It looked like there was a good variety of machines, although I couldn't find the ones I usually play. The all flourescent overhead lighting was a bit too bright, but I'm sure I'll be back just to check out the prime rib! read more

If you want to know what it was like to go gambling in Colorado in the late 90s, this place is for you. They only have slots and video poker, from my friends who only like slots and video poker, they find this place fun and friendly. I like table games, so it was a little disappointing. They do have a restaurant upstairs with cheap specials and the food is pretty good considering the materials they have to work with (cheap materials will only elevate your food so far, even though the chef did his best). The upstairs is reminiscent of a restaurant in small town in Iowa, complete with the dessert case. So in other words, not really my bag, but a lot of people seem to like it for the reasons mentioned within. read more

A Mom and Pop Casino with the restaurant upstairs. Went there after skiing for dinner. The ribs were awesome. I would recommend this place due to the large menu and cheap prices!! read more

Please DO NOT eat here! We have never received such a horrible inedible meal in our lives. Not even sure the meat was prime rib and if it was it may have been reheated from long ago. The potatoes were cold, the corn ..sad.....the roll non existent, just a piece of toast. Left 90% of it uneaten. If we hadn't ordered the bowl of lettuce with burnt rock croutons we would have eaten nothing. Absolutely horrible! Such a disappointment as we had such fond memories. This place has crashed and burned....yuck! read more
