The place itself has a decent ambiance, the food is okay, and I have to give credit where it's due--the queso dip is actually delicious! The drinks are good as well, although they can get expensive because they don't offer any drink specials. However, the karaoke experience was extremely frustrating and, quite frankly, unfair. It was very obvious that there is preferential treatment given to regulars and to people who tip more. Singers who had signed up earlier were being skipped while others were being called up simply because they were tipping the karaoke host. That is NOT how a karaoke rotation should work. If people are signing up to sing, the rotation should be based on who signed up first--not who is willing to tip the most money or who happens to be a regular. Everyone paying to be there should be treated equally. It's especially disappointing when you come specifically to celebrate your birthday and are looking forward to participating in the karaoke, only to be repeatedly passed over. There's nothing wrong with accepting tips, but tips should NEVER determine who gets priority over someone who has already been waiting their turn. It makes the experience feel less like a fun, welcoming place and more like a "pay to play" situation. The food and atmosphere have potential, but the favoritism with karaoke really left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customers shouldn't have to spend extra money just to receive fair treatment.

Restaurant in a casino always worries me that it's a place where people that lost most of their…read moremoney will eat at so the quality will be compromised. This place exceeds all my expectations... It's pretty loud in here at times. The place would be considered lively. New York Steak is killer good. 12oz steak with a vegetable medley and Mash Potatoes and gravy. The steak is very high grade (what what what?!) and the entire meal is $23.... Compare this to a combo at Wendy's for $16 lol. Steak here tends to overcook a level so ask for the level below. Juicy, great texture, excellent flavor, and grill lines! Sampler Has everything needed to satisfy all appetites! Wings are on the larger size, crispy, juicy in the inside, and well seasoned. Guacamole is fresh made and they fry their own chips which is unique. I always switch out the Jalapeño sticks with sweet potato fries or more mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks come with an excellent marinara sauce. The bread bowl is a full miss for me. There is probably three tablespoons of soup in it and the entire bread is about the size of a large muffin at Costco and so overpriced that Disneyland's is a much better value. The casino basically has 4 concept restaurant with their own kitchens but you can basically order from any of them and robots will drive them over to you or a server will go pick it up and bring it to you and put it on one tab. The current ones are Pho (Vietnamese), Sora (Sushi/sashimi/hand rolls), Luyixian (China/Taiwan inspired Chinese food), and here American grill. I ordered Sora's Nigiri set for $45 on one of visits and while the sushi was incredibly fresh it is really not worth it. Not enough sushi and too much filler like edamame. French fries here sometimes gets subbed with normal fries but they generally always have sweet potato fries, and some of best seasoned fries all around. Their fries as on is cheaper than Mcdonald's small fries. When you come in just find a table and sit down and someone will come to you with menus and such. Service here is incredibly good. Shout outs to Sarah, Iris, Victoria, Miguel, and Christian. You all make our visits like a mini vacation and we have such a great time. Never thought eating at a casino would be so much fun. There is so much other food to try. Will be back to try it all soon! Trust me this place is that good!

This restaurant is located inside Augies Bar & Grill, and their menu consists of mariscos and Mexican food, although they offer wings and fries. Today, I came with a friend to witness the Dodgers win and see Shohei Ohtani hit his 51st home run and steal his 51st base. The ambiance was calm for this Thursday afternoon, but the music Playlist was on point. The bartenders were beautiful as always and attentive to our needs. After a couple of cold Pacifico beers, my friend and I got hungry and decided to order some aguachiles verdes and two tacos governador. Our order took a little longer than expected (Approximately 20 minutes), but we understood because the owner had barely opened his restaurant when we ordered. The aguachiles came first because they were not hard to prepare and looked delicious. Unfortunately, I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of my plate midway through. The plate had a good amount of shrimp marinated in spicy lime sauce, slices of avocado, red onions, cucumber, and about 3 to 4 tostadas served inside a plastic bag. Overall, this plate is perfect to satisfy your appetite temporarily. About 10 minutes later, the tacos governador plate came out with a slice of lime and a sauce that is hard to describe, but it was really good. The taco was cheesy and had plenty of shrimp for the traditional tortilla. The type of salsa they serve it with complements the governador and is delicious. In conclusion, I will continue to come here because of their sports ambiance, cold beers, beautiful bartenders providing excellent customer service, and Mariscos Los Laras serving delicious food.

I can see how service can be a hit or miss…read more I can see how the customers can be sketchy or perfunctory or unusual. But I didn't see that on a Thursday night during the NBA Playoffs / Dodger game. Initially there were very few servers, so we had to go to the bar to get a bucket, however towards the end of the night, it started to fill up and more servers came, and we had a great time chatting it up, and got out drink orders with more flow. Ambiance? Dive bar. Like The epitome of a dive bar sans pool table. They've got the juke box playing hip hop and Banda/Corridos, big speakers so you've got to almost yell to have a conversation, was a little disappointed they weren't playing the sound from the game. Surprisingly? Great food. Tacos were good, the Aguachiles was very good, especially for the price! It's got some heat. so be prepared (ask for it not hot if you've got a low tolerance.) Great citrus punch, quite a lot of seafood. All in all It's a great dive bar, with some beautiful servers, however the parking situation is very, very bad with patrons just double parking. I had to park in the neighborhood a block down, and when I left there was a gentlemen passed out next to it. But I guess that's Southgate for you! I would stop in maybe, but its not somewhere I'd recommend to go again.

There are about 6 talented bartenders who work the bar and each of them bring a unique portfolio to mixology. Let's get back to Amanda! One of my friends who was visiting from Hawaii found Amanda on social media and asked that I take her to Kuduowl to experience this unique mixology. We were greeted warmly by Amanda and she explained the concept of the bar and the drink options. All were absolutely beautifully crafted and served! Delicious! I had a drink a few years ago (Sloe Gin Ramos) and not many bartenders know how to make it, nor do they want to take the time to make it. Amanda and Chris jumped right in and made it (takes 10-15 minutes to make). It was delicious and the preparation was a show! Loved it. All bartenders, servers, and bar backs were working in unison, like an orchestra. You could tell they all enjoyed their jobs and coworkers! It made for a beautiful ambiance. The bar welcomes everyone - from old to young, from gay to straight, and a rainbow of diversity of ethnic backgrounds! This has to be my favorite bar in Southern California! Bravo Amanda & team!

My bf gets the enchiladas suizas, delicous as well but the birria tacos are my fav.

He was a sweetheart the one person doing its job vs just seeing who's going to throw cash @ them or get tipped by big spenders (nothing wrong with that but come on) Then after I finish my drink , a bartender lady asked me if I paid my bill I sarcastically answered no that's why I'm leaving. She proceeded to ask the waitress who looked my way like 3 times not ever acknowledging me if she served our drinks . She nodded No. Then she came back and said she didn't charge you I said no she didn't and I said first it takes you 5 songs to attend to 1 drink now you're questioning if I paid "PATHETIC " so sad bad service, bad attitude except the bar back !

We pointed out that there were currently people in the restaurant wearing sandals. Management told us that the rules apply after 7pm. It was currently 7:30, so they denied us entry. In the process of this convo they let a woman wearing flip flops in. When I pointed that out the security said "it is part of an outfit" - they should add that to their list of rules... Clearly they are able to make exceptions for people that look a certain way, and not for others. We had a party of 15 inside; they charged them 10 for water without mentioning to them that there is a cost. Overall, while I understand that rules are rules. It is clear that the security and management only make these rules for certain people.
