Steak and eggs and hashbrowns
May Beth B.

I love this place for brunch. I ordered the steak and eggs with hashbrowns and a side of white rice. Our waiter Tyler was really nice and kind and always checked on us to see if we needed anything additional. Cant wait to come back here again.

Hours, May 2025.

They close at 2pm so don't delay. There will be a line/wait on busy days but they either give you a buzzer or take your phone number to text when your table is ready. Giving you time to feed the one armed bandits before you feed yourself. Good variety of entrées, we like some of their Asian offerings. Desserts are good too as they are connected with the bakery. Definitely worth a try. Enjoy!

Prime Rib
Joyce F.

Craved for the best bread you can't find anywhere and drove all the way here. This time we had the clam chowder. So creamy and you can taste the clam's freshness. The chicken Caesar salad was perfect. Best of all, is the prime rib. Perfectly cooked to my liking. The meat is fresh, tender and moist. Over all, The Cafe is your casual fine dining. High quality food and service from the entire staff. I've been here several times and I always forget to take pictures. Every time food is served to our table, can't wait but start devouring. Long drive and it's all worth it.

Appreciation -"recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something". In this case, commendable old fashion values of "Quality & Service" Harder and harder to find these days. It's all the VV restaurants. & hotel ( Heaven's terrific at the front desk) in Valley View both food & service! We generally like to stay at Valley View Hotel because of just that "Quality & tip top service" What we take for granted is the wonderful breakfast that comes with your stay. Today, we didn't stay but love "The Cafe" for their unbelievable menu, I had Steak & eggs for breakfast but it comes with choices, I love their fruit, whoever picks their fruit it's absolutely delicious!! and like I said quality & tip top service even when it's so crowded or they're short handed, you can see that every team member is working hard. We've stayed at a Marriott where you pay for a simple room and comes with what they call breakfast, think on that for a moment , then appreciate the wonderful food and people creating such a warm environment and to top it off, absolutely wonderful food! From the moment you step foot in the cafe, Diana , Mariko Cordell Tyler Marty and so many more are like a well organized team, kudos to all of them ! Take a look at the extensive menu and enjoy

Steak sandwich
Anida M.

My husband and I ate here while we were staying at Harrah's. It's hard to get me away from Earl's, but I was in the mood for a change. I got the steak sandwich, which was good - very rich and somewhat greasy, but flavor was awesome! It also came with Parmesan tots, which were perfectly crunchy. My husband got the pot roast, which was super hearty. Staff was super friendly and they have a robot server to help bring out the food. Their menu has a ton of options if you're looking for anything from burgers to chicken tenders to pasta, and they're open late, so it's perfect for any craving you may have!

Chicken Caesar salad
Kelly R.

We had Sunday lunch here and it was such a treat. Service was great and the food fresh and tasty as well as generous portions. I had the chicken Caesar salad and hubby had the kung pao shrimp. The complementary bread basket and whipped butter were also great. We had a nice view of the mountains from our table. We give this restaurant an overall five star rating and will definitely be back.

Avocado Toast
Laurie D.

I've eaten at the Café at Harrah's Southern California countless times, but this is my first review. A girlfriend and I spent the night at the hotel and decided to have breakfast at the Café. We both ordered the Avocado Toast. It was an everything bagel topped with whipped cream cheese, sliced avocado, baby heirloom tomatoes and drizzled with balsamic glaze. It was served with two poached eggs, four sausages (several choices), and a cup of fruit. The Avocado Toast was absolutely delicious! The portion size was large. We could've easily shared one breakfast. The only issue was that the service was horrible! I asked for a coffee refill and waited a long time. The server barely checked on us, and I had to ask the lady cleaning tables to ask our server for the check and takeout containers. I definitely would've given more stars had the service been decent.

Steak and fries
Orlando O.

Food is decent specially the breakfast recommended the service is good the only problem stay away from this server her name is jasmine she has her preference customers if she don't like you she won't even ask you if you need anything or if you ok ambience is good family welcoming

Wonton Soup
Dee Dee T.

I came for breakfast but ended up ordering lunch. I ordered the Chicken Piccata. This is the best Chicken Piccata I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly tender and the sauce was creamy with the perfect amount of wine and butter. This dish came with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and white carrots. It came with choice of soup or salad. The Wonton Soup was adequate. I think I will try the Chicken Tortilla soup next time. The entire dish was very pleasing. The portion was enough for me to take half of it home for lunch. The service is friendly and accomodating. The dinning room has beautiful views of the near by mountains.

Complimentary muffin

I've had breakfast here with my family several times before; usually the morning after spending the night at the hotel. I heard the cafe recently reopened after remodeling, but it looked the same to me. If you're lucky to be seated near the windows, you'll be treated to the views of the Palomar mountains. Came here yesterday with my mom. We stood in line for about 20 minutes before finally getting to the host stand, was informed it would be about a 30 minute wait for black card holders & would receive a text when the table was ready. Got a text about 10 minutes later, and we were seated a few minutes after checking back in. My mom and I both opted for the steak & eggs breakfast, which came with choice of bread and either tater tots o'Brien or hash browns. The steaks were cooked perfectly as ordered, tender and seasoned well. Our server was quick and efficient, and kept my coffee warm & topped off.

Prime rib hash.. not bad with egg whites but heavy
Ramil M.

Decent place since my wife is Diamond. Service was good and ambience was fair. For my choice, tried the hash since Prime Rib roast was taken off the menu, prices got a bit higher but just as long as you swipe for your comps. It was heavy, prime rib was kind of tough but still okay to try out.

Menu

We originally wanted to eat at another casino eatery but they no longer took reservations and we were told to wait in the bar and just walk up whenever we saw people leaving. Whaaaat? Ridiculous so we left and decided to visit Harrah's, which we hadn't visited in a while. Hubby wanted to build up tier credits to get the $100 Target gift card. Anyhow, we were famished and there was no wait in a line to eat here. Our server was a very sweet, friendly, and attentive. She apparently had many regulars as she was speaking to them like they were family. For starters we had the dinner salad with Ranch dressing and it was very fresh & yummy. Hubby ordered the BLTA with Parmesan fries and I ordered the grilled cheese (with Cheddar & Swiss) on sourdough sandwich with the Parmesan fries. Both sandwiches & the fries were delicious! My sandwich was huge and so cheesy that I could only eat half! Hubby devoured his meal. Our server made sure our glasses of iced teas remained filled. Sorry, we were so hungry that I forgot to take photos of our plates! The restaurant has low lighting and it's very clean. We noticed they installed aesthetically pleasing plexiglass between the booths. When they first opened years ago they had a very extensive menu but it all changed after the pandemic. We can always find good eats here with great customer service.

The Cafe is excellent. We had breakfast and dinner here because it's so good. I would go here all the time if we lived closer.

The atmosphere is lively and they even have live bands on some days, which adds to the experience. Service can be a bit slower during busy times, but overall it's still a fun place to visit. Helpful tip: you do need to be a card member to access the buffet, so it's a good idea to call ahead to confirm details before heading over.

The Buffet at Valley View Casino is not a buffet in the traditional sense of grabbing a plate,…read moreperusing around at the hot food stations and serving yourself any portion you would like. I do miss that part of a buffet of visually seeing all the food offerings and taking a small portion for you to bring back to your table and seeing if it is good or not. The Buffet is a sit down affair. You get to the your table and are greeting with a bag of tostitos, guac and salsa. They take your drink order and then you order off the placemat menu at your seat. While the menu is extensive, food is such a visual experience in the sense of seeing what it looks like and knowing how big the portion is. When you order from the server, you get to choose from 4 items that will be all on one plate if it fits. The lobster tail is the star attraction and you are allowed one per order but you can eat as many as you want. Food quality was not that great and the lobster tails were really salty. I wish I was able to try other menu items but I was already full from the first order as you do not get a good sense of how big each portion they serve you. I believe the value is great for AYCE lobster tails and prime rib. I just wish it would return to a true buffet where you serve yourself.
