I went there for the all you can eat crabs. It's crabs only not all you can eat seafood. It's ok but not crazy about it. It's not busy. Lots of empty tables. Server is good. He will bring another half crab before I finish the other one. read more

Love this place, won bigtime here. Unfortionatly I am on oxygen with COPD now,and should not go, but want to badly!!!

Itty bitty little casino. So quiet in there. Nit too many gamblers when we arrived Feb 2924 on a Friday at 4:30pm. Clean. The bar was closed for renovation (shucks). They have all you can eat crab and shrimp Fridays and Sat is prime rib night. Havnt tried either of those yet. read more

This is my second review. The first one was two years ago on Thanksgiving. This year I got my Thanksgiving dinner. It was tasty, The turkey was moist and the mash potatoes and stuffing were very good. My biggest complaint was the beans. They were chewy and tasteless. I quit after one bite. The poor casino must be having lots of problems. I just live down the road from them and I go there every couple weeks. I always begin by going over to the free soda machine. Tonight I wanted Mountain Dew but all that came out was soda water. I tried the lemonade and the same problem. Oh well we headed off to dinner. I ordered a Mountain Dew and told the waitress about the problem with the machine. She said they had a different machine and she brought me a Mountain Dew. Suprise surprise, the same problem. I doubt I was the first person to mention it. On other nights I go in get a free soda and get dinner. After dinner there is a Wheel of Fortune slot machine I like to play. Its the only one I ever play. Two weeks ago the Wheel of Fortune machine would not take my money. After waiting a bit to see if someone would come check it out, I left. Fast forward to today and I sit down to play my favorite game and I guess it wasn't my lucky night because it had the same problem. I waited a bit and nobody showed up so I left. I don't know who is running the show but it appears they aren't doing a very good job. Problem after problem keeps coming up. Robinson Rancheria is only 1.5 miles East and I think I will be going to them for awhile. Maybe in the future I will give Running Creek another chance. I don't think I'm expecting too much. read more

Tried to give Running Creek a second chance which turned out to be a mistake. While playing a slot machine betting $2, I hit a bonus round that gave me 20 spins. Their slot gave me a total of $9 in the bonus round after betting $2. Same scenario on a different machine. Betting $1.76 - bonus game paid under $7 !!! I WON'T BE GIVING MY MONEY AWAY HERE ANYTIME SOON. MAYBE AFTER ALL OF US GO DOWN THE STREET THINGS WILL CHANGE BEFORE THE DAMAGE IS IRREVERSIBLE. J.S. read more

The food was awesome, we got all the different kinds of seafood. The service was excellent, the staff was polite and always checking in. After that I gambled and I won $200!! Definitely going to be coming back. read more

WTAF. We ate dinner at wild Creek I bought bottle of wine and at the end asked for a bag to go. I was told I had to drink it there. I stuck the bottle in my purse my husband decided to stay and play black jack. So I asked for a wine glass to finish my bottle. The pit boss was walking around and asked where I got the wine from and who's bottle is that on the trash can. Maybe they have$10 blackjack tables but their hospitality sucks read more

The food served in the fine dining hall is the best on the lake in my opinion. Clean, efficient, every order cooked to perfection. Fabulous steaks and seafood. I've tried just about everything at Running Creek and everything is delicious. Definitely my favorite restaurant in Lake County hands down. read more

My husband and I were enjoying our Friday night at Running Creek. We wanted to stay a little later and become hungry so we decided to order some chicken strips from the cafe. They served 3 chicken strips over fries. I ate two chicken strips while my husband started on the fries. He then took a bite of his chicken and thought it tasted bad and spit it out. Come to find it was raw. I then walked up to the cashier and told her the situation and showed her the raw chicken. she asked if I would like my money back or another chicken strip. I told her no thank you but would like some kind of documentation that this incident took place in case my husband gets sick. She said, "no problem I will write some up". Nothing happened so I asked for a manager. The manager came out went directly to her kitchen staff and had a conversation. The manager approached me and told me it was our fault that we ate the raw chicken. She also told me I yelled at her cook and threatened to Sue. Two other managers came out who were only concerned about us suing them than our welfare. In fact they told me that we threatened to Sue them so we had to leave. They then escorted us to the door and banned us. They never once said they were sorry or gave any sympathy to the fact that my husband may become ill. They did not show any signs of caring about our well being. They made us feel terrible. They're only concern was that they may be liable for giving a customer food poisoning. It was like a nightmare. I felt like I could wake up any minute. NEVER going back. Yelp makes you put at least one star. Otherwise I would not. read more

$10 for a prime rib dinner! It was well cooked and came with au jus, creamy horse radish, yummy veggies and potato of choice (I had a baked potato). It was a really generous portion, too. Service was friendly and quick. :) read more

Fun night here starting with our prime rib dinner which was delicious and we had a good server who also brought us drinks. On the way out I played a 10 cent machine and hit a sweet jackpot then we immediately left. On Fridays, you can go to the buffet for 19.95 which includes prime rib or get the prime rib dinner for 9.95. I didn't feel like overeating and making myself sick so we opted for the dinner. The place looks like s big tent from the outside but doesn't seem like that on the inside. read more

This was my second time stopping in at the Running Creek Casino and grabbing a quick meal. It's a nice casino and restaurant in Upperlake, CA right in Rt20. The staff seems friendly and attentive. It's owned by a local Native American tribe, the Habematolel Pomo. I had lunch a few months ago when in town and stopped in this morning to try breakfast. I had the biscuits and gravy breakfast special and it was fantastic. Great portion size and was very affordable. Coffee seemed generic, perhaps they should offer up some specialty brews being so close to the northwest region of the country. I didn't play any in the casino but they appear to have a good variety, the only thing missing was lodging and perhaps a sports book or something unique to draw more visitors and give them a place to stay. read more

running creek did a wonderful "octoberfest"! servers were all decked out in german attire. food was very authentic and a variety of german beers. chairs in casino were definitely spread out!! machine & chair given a detailed sanitizing when anyone left a machine! outside decorations and inside were fun! and holiday oriented. masks and temperature check to get into casino. read more

The food is generally good however I once had pasta that was inedible because it was so greasy. I went there on my birthday and was told that the special for birthdays was spend 10.00 then get 10.00. Afterwards I checked my mail and had 10.00 free without any stipulation of spending 10.00. I talked to the manager and they refused to put the birthday money on my card stating I already had it. Since I had to pay for it that kinda cancels it out. I wonder about there math ability's? As for gambling it's generally pretty tight a lot of the time, but have won some. Customer service is lacking and that is often where problems arise. It's pretty clear they have communication issues between management and customer service. They offer s nice lunch free once a year and that's nice. read more

Don't party!!!!!!! So tonight 2-10-18, I came in and we were having a good time. Singing with the DJ playing a great songs,and we were told we were being to laud. Now I go there three nights a week buy dinner and buy my drinks. Spend 250 a week. My Wife puts about 90 plus a week into the machines. The one male bartender will ignore you if you tease back, and can't get a drink. What happen take care of the customers. Maybe this Bartender shouldn't tease if you can't take it. You go on vacation and you come back grumpy and take it out on the customers and other employees. The night before there was a woman that was saying F*ck You and B*tch every other word and security was not around to kick her out. But singing is not aloud? You just lost my Business. read more

I felt the need to update an old 1 star review I gave a few years back. Hubby and I went in for an early dinner, excellent food. Clam chowder was yum., chicken yum,, Hubby,s fish and chips also yum. Best was the server- Lawrence... - awesome! We went back the next day for lunch. Another excellent server - Joseph and more yummy food. read more

I generally like this casino. I was looking forward to trying their seafood buffet for a while now and am greatly dissapointed. For one it's too expensive $25 each person. The selection is very limited and there needs to be more options. Highly saddened by this outcome will not go back. read more

This is a review of the Wildfire Grill, which is the restaurant inside Running Creek casino. I've been here a number of times already and was very pleased with each visit. They've got a nice menu that includes gourmet pizza, steak, fish and all the regular things you'd find at a nicer place. What you'll be surprised at isn't necessarily the selection, but the quality and the pricing. I've gone and just had their $5 salad which, logic dictates, would leave me wanting a meal. Not in this case - the $5 salad had fresh greens, caramelized walnuts that tasted as if they had done them themselves and other treats that you would never expect for such a bargain. The salad is huge. Lately I've been going for the $15 porterhouse steak which covers a good portion of the large plate. On the side are nicely-prepared veggies and you get a bread basket too. The deal with this is that you get $5 in gambling credits with this steak reducing its effective price to $10. For a decent steak! The restaurant doesn't smell like smoke at all despite smoking being allowed in the casino and it's beautifully decorated - probably the nicest looking establishment in the whole area. The staff is very friendly and is prompt and the restaurant is even open 'till 11 - that's later than any other place in the county I believe. The Wildfire Grill is absolutely worth a gamble, even if gaming isn't your thing. I would call this a sure bet. read more

Thank you for making Thanksgiving special. Our server, Lance, did an awesome job even though they were busy. Food was great. Turkey, ham and the works. We will keep coming back. read more

Went there for breakfast and the service was horrible! Sat there for 20 minutes before we got water and coffee then sat around another 20 minutes before we walked out because no one came back to take our order....there was only ONE other table of four in the entire restaurant so I can't cut them any slack because they were NOT busy!!!!! read more

This is a review of the Wildfire Grill inside the Running Creek Casino. I don't know where they got their chef, but, they made one heck of a hire. The menu is very nice, with a good variety of fish, fowl, and beef, as well as some wonderful-sounding gourmet pizzas. The quality and presentation of their food is outstanding! I chose the lamb chops, and they were fabulous. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. We highly recommend you stop in for a meal. read more

This review is about the restaurant Wildfire and the buffet on Friday nights - Not worth the time and defiantly NOT worth the money!! Staff was nice. They now charge you extra for the seafood that used to be included in the price!!! So now you pay $20 for prime rib and $8 for 1 pound of crab legs. Which is about 2 oz. of meat!!! Worth the money - NO!!!!!!!! read more

Went looking forward to a buffet only to find out it's just two days a week for a few hours. However, the prime rib special is a steal for only $10. Great service all over from what I saw. The casino is clean and there were plenty of machines to play. Blackjack was limited to one table on a Thursday night with people waiting for a seat. No poker to be found in the private three table poker room. read more

I don't usually like casino food. One reason you have to walk through a smokey casino to get to their restaurants. I had my birthday dinner here with 3 others. It was a very good experience. The service was on spot, and moved forward from the greeting, the seating , the drinks , the order taking, the first course, the dinner and the dessert, with bread refilled and tea refilled in a on spot manner. GOOD SERVICE. The meal I had the salad made from heirloom tomatoes and the mozzarella with balsamico and pesto was sooo excellent. Never have a enjoyed an appetizer. Caprese was the name. I had a Delmonico blackened Steak which was good and tasty as well. I had a thick piece of chocolate cake which was delicious as well. Not a lot of good places to eat in Lake County, so this ones a keeper. Will try it out again. i wonder if their buffet for seafood is good? Will have to give it a try. read more

Been here a little over a year ago for the buffet and they had crab legs, korean short ribs, and shrimp cocktail. We also were served rolls at the table. However they only offer sad clams, mussels which were ok, and fried and coconut shrimp (can barely taste any coconut). As we were checking in I asked about the optional seafood tableside that they mention on their website and advertising for the buffet. I was laughed at and told they stopped that a year ago. False advertising at its finest. The buffet is filled with salads, pasta, some random asian food, the limited shellfish, and prime rib. For $20/person it isn't worth the money. The prime rib dinner is $8.99 and seems like the better option as the prime rib was the only good thing on the buffet and you get rolls brought to your table as well. When we got up to grab another plate of food in an attempt to make the buffet price worthwhile they began clearing our table. We got back just in time before they were giving our seats to someone else! They finally brought over our place card to notify the staff that the table was still occupied. The waitress was friendly and attentive which was a plus. The casino is filled with penny machines and I couldn't find any of the traditional one lined nickel or quarter machines which was disappointing. Only played a few machines before deciding to just cash out and leave, they weren't giving out any wins enough to stay and play longer. They had non smoking machines but they were nearby the smoking allowed machines rather than in a separate room which defeats the purpose. I'd only go back to have the prime rib dinner but not for the buffet or gambling. read more

Clean, well lit, very friendly employees and security. Happy and welcoming environment.. Bathrooms are super clean and well maintained. Sportsbar is great.. Wildfire restaurant is 5star for Lake County, with excellent food, above n beyond waiters, great deal on prime rib and best pizza in county.. by far.. For what it is and its size, its dialed in and perfect. read more

Been coming to this casino for at least 10 years...went for a visit today because I liked the fact that they had the older mustang slot machines (2 of them) so sad they retired both of them.... Probably won't be going back will have to go to twin pines since they still have the old mustang slot machine. Very disappointed Running creek! read more

We just went for Sunday's Special: Prime rib steak for 8.95 and It was surprisingly good! The meat was tender, juicy and flavored. The mashed potato was creamy and delicious. The portion was big too. It was so good that I definitely will go back. read more

Liking the "Wild Creek Buffet" for $19.95 an all you can eat in which includes "prime rib, coconut shrimp, made to order pasta, and host of fillers with a awesome desert menu this Running Creek Casino dining spot is full proof. The set up of this dining experience earns it four stars, has nothing to do with the food whatsoever, once seated, one has to leave the dining room to gather food that I dislike. A good friend has saying, "there's crushing it, and there's buffet crushing it"... When Running Creek'n it..... be prepared to face a mountainous portions.... Just remember this only available Friday nights from 5:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. read more

This place is a joke, this was the third time I've been there the machines are tight and the workers In customer service are rude and had the audacity to tell me to shush many times because i was cheering for my baseball team. I asked why don't she shush another player that had annoyed many players that people complained about? she said because she spends thousands of dollars there.So if your going to this casino you better watch your mouth and not be loud when your excite d unless your a regular there that spends thousands of dollars. Don't think your going to have fun while playing penny machines lol Im sticking to Konocti Casino they're nice to you no matter how much you spend there and never are rude and better payouts. read more

We enjoy the atmosphere at this casino a lot, it does not seem as Smokey as others. The restaurant is really affordable and great food! My problem is we went up to the bar for a glass of white wine, the bartender charged me $9 for a glass of wine!! That's just crazy for a casino to charge that price! I can go to a very nice wine bar and not spend that much. I think overall it's a good place just expensive on their drinks. read more

The service staff was on it. Very quick to be seated and our order was taken within a couple minutes. The food came out quickly as well. We had the prawns for an app and the prime rib dinner. What a joke. No flavor at all on the rib, the au jus was like warm water with a brown tint to it. No bread at all. I remember when it first opened it was the best place to go in Lake county and get a very good meal and a great price. The seafood buffet was off the charts then they started removing main items people were going for and the prices started going up, up, up and the food quality has hit the toilets. This will be the last time we go there for dinner and will NOT recommend this place to anybody. read more

The food is good and the price is cheaper than other casino. Everytime we go to Lakeport . It is our first choice to eat lunch and dinner.

So my 3 friends and I just came into the main restaurant for dinner and the hostess was very rude and refused to seat us. Not only were there open tables, but they are open for another hour and 20 minutes. They had no problem seating us last night for the pricey seafood buffet. I liked the buffet but my friend who also had the buffet was violently ill all night and forced to drive at 2:00am in search of medicine to relive his extreme GI distress. Our friends we came with vacation here regularly and have been to the restaurant before and wanted to give it another chance tonight. I have never, ever been treated that poorly at any restaurant, and I have never written a bad review before even though I have been unhappy with restaurants and businesses before that takes the cake as the rudest, most insulting treatment I have ever received. We are now going to be coming to this area regularly and will never come back to this Casino or restaurant and will be sure to make a point to tell others in the area how rudely we were treated. read more

I drove a long way to enjoy their seafood buffet as advertised on their web site with beautiful pictures of fresh seafood on ice -- what they have is fried shrimp (fried mac and cheese one of the better lookng items --lol) and tilapia --my friend and I decided to get a refund for the terrible looking buffet and try the prime rib dinner -- the vegetables were overcooked, my baked potato coolish, the meat very fatty and of mediocre quality. The waiting staff was lovely. The place was clean. There is only one cash register and those people need to take a refresher course in friendly customer service. i felt that after driving all that way we should have had our meal comped ($8.99) or been given a free dessert at least. Will never go back there and I do not recommend it at all. read more

We have been going to Running Creek for the past few years and have seen nothing but a decline in quality of food. I took my daughter who, was visiting from Montana, there on Monday (July 9, 2018) and it was the worst restaraunt experience I have ever had. My wife and my daughter ordered the house bacon burger. The burger patty was about 1/3 pound, but I swear half of that was filler of some sort. It was clearly a money maker for them and a disaster for the consumer. Did I mention it took almost an hour to get the food delivered? I had a Korean Chicken sandwich. The chicken breast looked like it came from a Cornish Hen it was so small. The French fries were cold, the coleslaw inedible, and on and on. The service was okay but everything else was an absolute disaster. What a huge disappointment! Never again. Save your money folks ... go someplace else read more

We went to Running Creek Sea Food Buffet. First thing they cut the Buffet in half. The crab was sauggie. They Remodeled added a bar in the Resturant and now they are using smaller table to eat on. For 4 of us it cost $140.00. We used to have the sea food buffet 2 to3 times a month and for 2 of us it would be $40.00 and change. And the crab was great. After friday night we WON'T be going back. read more
