I wish they wouldn't have closed. The food and service was excellent. Everything on the menu was perfect

Had a great dinner here to use the celebration dinner. Made a reservation earlier in the day for the evening. Checked in early for our reservation and had a table within a few minutes. The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. We ordered the ribeye, bruschetta chicken, Gouda mac & cheese bites, and the carrot cake. Everything was absolutely wonderful! Our waitress was on top of everything. The bread was served quickly to start, it was delicious with the logo marked into the butter. We were served water with lemons right away. The restaurant has open views of the kitchen which is cool. There are also multiple TVs throughout the restaurant which had the NFL Games on. Would definitely come back to try more on the menu and experience the nice hospitality! read more

Using our entertainment dollar on some slots, my friend treated me to dinner here. This is located inside the Harrah's River Valley casino in Murphy, NC. I started with the French onion soup which had a nice beefy flavor. I also split some crab cakes that were pretty good as well with a mild remoulade sauce. Unfortunately, my salmon entree was waaayyyy over cooked! Like dry as a hockey puck! The mashed potatoes were plentiful but could not help that fish. The fried green tomatoes had a crust that was too thick and oddly very bland. I felt bad for leaving it uneaten - should have sent it back but it was a complimentary meal so took my loss. My friend's shrimp dinner was huge, so I ate some of her shrimp instead and we still couldn't eat it all - a massive portion. The service was excellent however so I would give it another shot in the future. read more

I really wanted to like the landing but sheesh. This is my second time here and I really think I'm over it. For one, the calabash shrimp is dry. It's really just fried shrimp. Kind of like popcorn shrimp. Next, the Caesar salad was dry even after I got the extra Caesar dressing. It wasn't great. Next, the garlic Parmesan wings are ok. That was probably the best thing I've had. The cheeseburger was seasoned well. I asked for it with bacon. It came with the burger then bacon and the cheese on top of the bacon - LOL huh? The service was slow but in their defense, there were at least 15-20 tables and we noticed there were only two servers and the kitchen kept having to yell for food runners. read more

So what do you do when your mom says she wants to go out to eat on thanksgiving a few days before the holiday? You scramble! Luckily my husband found that this restaurant was still taking reservations. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Turkey specials were ordered by most of us, so it won't be available if you go next week. But if our dishes where any indication of how the rest of the menu will be than you will enjoy your meal. Turkey was tender, mashed potatoes creamy, stuffing delicious and the pumpkin pie sent me to heaven! So the tradition of stuffed on thanksgiving remains! Portions are huge, we took most of it home. I will wait an hour or two before I pick at it again! Lots of parking, great service. Full service bar and nice wine menu. Inside the River Valley Casino. Steaks, pasta and pizzas on the regular menu. Prices a little bit higher than you might expect. read more

The Landing Cafe - Turkey dinner - New American Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

Food was good overall. Questionable customer service. Bad policies for an all you can eat crab leg special. If you make reservations for their crab leg special, make sure that you get an early time slot or you may be disappointed that you didn't quite get all you could eat. Reservations are made up through 9 PM but you still have to get your initial order and are only allowed to reorder until 10 when the kitchen closes. If there is to be an all you can eat crab leg special, you should be given time to eat said crab legs. Not only be given an hour which includes the 20 minutes to get your initial order out to you. They were more accommodating towards the end with bringing extra clusters but they did cool off before they could be eaten and they were soggy so they didn't really crack well and didn't taste very good. There were also things attached to the bottom of the crab body part of the shell maybe barnacles or something that could have been picked off; picture attached. Regarding the service; waitress was awesome in the beginning. When asked about reorders after the first order came out, was told that the kitchen would be closing soon so she was not sure how many orders we could get in. At that point I asked to speak to a manager to which I was told that they wouldn't really do anything. I did not press the issue. After that the server brought the check before we were finished eating and said that it would be nice to go ahead and take it up since the cashier likes to get out on time. This is while we are eating crab legs and our hands are full of juices. Not good customer service and not very respectful. After that, the server came by again sweeping the floor and saying that they have other duties so it's okay if we are there after closing which is fine but it was said very passive aggressively. This is a casino restaurant where the experience should be over the top and extremely positive; especially for a diamond Caesar's Rewards member. It was not made positive and was my first and most likely my last experience at The Landing Cafe. read more

The Landing Cafe - Crab legs with something extra attached, not very appetizing. - New American Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

I had the black and blue burger with sweet potato fries (pictured). Let's divide this review into the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good. Great sweet potato fries. Good service. Incredibly convenient if you are staying at the casino and only sit down restaurant here. The bad. Industrial dry hamburger. No lettuce or tomatoes on the side. Asked server and she quickly brought sliced tomatoes. Can understand the no lettuce with current ecoli scare. The ugly. Incredibly harsh lighting. Bland interior and undecorated walls. Reminded me of a prison (NO I was not in one, but looked like a movie prison). Summary: Mediocre Applebee's with great service. A solid 3. read more

Less than 1. Awful. Food came out over cooked,took forever to get replacement food until my wife was done,cancelled order to talked to supervisor who was unconcerned seemed offended by my being upset. Then she forced my waitress to charge me for food I didn't get. They just didn't care that I was unhappy. Ruined my evening with my wife. Supervisor was named Cheryl. DON'T Try these guys. read more

The steaks are amazing. My husband always gets chicken fettuccine, add shrimp. The carrot cake is the best I have ever had.

When my wife come to Murphy to go to the casino, we always eat at the landing cafe. You should make reservations ahead of time, just so you have a table ready when you yourself are ready to eat. My wife and I usually get the Alfredo. Her, she gets the chicken alfredo, myself, I get the shrimp alfredo. The sauce is so rich and the dishes are so aromatic and mouth watering. They also give you little pieces of baguette bread(garlic) that are a nice extra piece of sunshine. Very Friendly staff. Depending on how much you play, you can also get the meat comped, if you have enough player points!! Try it, you'll like it! read more

Worst food I have ever eaten. We ordered a ribeye (46)and a filet ($50) and I can honestly say that applebees is like Ruth chris compared to these steaks. It was that bad, on top of the steaks coming out the wrong temp (way overcooked) the filet smelt like soured milk and both steaks tasted awful, and when I tried to send them back, we were told that since their manager had already left for the night there was little they could do. They would not recook our food, not that that would of made the taste of the steaks any better. Eat here if you want to start your night off horribly. I would have rather had McDonald's for my birtbday dinner if I am being completely honest. read more

My husband and I made our first time visit to The Landing Cafe on Sunday 6/12 as we wanted to try something different and what we thought would be a little more upscale than what we have found in the area. We were a little disappointed when we walked in being greeted by the person at the hostess desk as they were not very welcoming. Our waitress seemed a bit distracted possibly overworked, but she did manage to have a slight smile every now and then. We both ordered the special which was a tuna steak with two sides. For the price you do get great portions, however the tuna was over cooked it was like eating tuna out of the can, disappointing. The salad was mostly lettuce, with a few slivers of onion, 3 thinly sliced pieces of cucumber, and 2 small cherry tomatoes . We could give it another try but my expectations were a lot higher. read more

The food has been excellent each visit. The service, if dining in, is also excellent. However, the service for takeout rates from so-so to poor. If ordering takeout, you are directed to a stand past the entrance. The menu is limited. Last night I was the only one standing and waiting to order, as the female staff looked at me, and ignored me. The host told me that she would take my order. She didn't. I left. read more

I wish the atmosphere was a little more softer and intimate. With that said, it was comfortable. The steak dinner was perfect. The service was good and prompt. I have to admit, I wasn't sold on eating there, but I was very pleasantly surprised. read more

Lose quality food and very dim lighting. But the alternative is the food court, so take your chances and maybe you'll get lucky.

I ordered the strawberry, spinach salad, shrimp scampi appetizer and a customized pizza. The pizza and salad were HUGE! I ate half of the salad and took the rest home. The pizza was humongous and really good. I took most of it home as well and ate a couple of slices cold. It was delicious cold too. Shrimp scampi was a good size portion and delicious as well. read more

Outstanding service from the host Jordan and FIVE-STAR service from our waitress Hannah! It was our first time eating here and had the pleasure of using our $100 Diamond Celebration Dinner. We made our reservation with Jordan and he was professional and helpful even when we needed to make changes. Hannah provided the best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. She was friendly, efficient, and filled every request we had! The food, while perhaps a bit overpriced, was delicious and the portions were generous. We had the Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Parm, and Salmon. Our table was tucked away and more than 10 feet from the closes table. EVERYONE had masks and we were asked to sanitize our hands before entering. Thank you Jordan and Hannah for making our night out an amazing experience. We will be back! read more

Arriving to the casino this visit I forgot about the new addition/renovation. It was great to see a new space complete and even more fun to see a sit-down restaurant at Harrah's River Valley. I reviewed the menu online prior to arrival and decided to walk down from my hotel room to try the new restaurant described as a cafe. I don't believe the room had a menu present, but that might be a good way to promote this new eatery. Harrah's really missed the mark on the architecture & design of this cafe. Although the menu boasts aged steak and entrees exceeding the $30.00 mark, this is nothing more than a cafeteria. It is overwhelmingly bright with harsh LED lighting. There is not one piece of art on the wall. Televisions will soon be installed as I see the plug on the walls ready for installation. Elevator music gently plays. The bar overlooks the chef's kitchen. It feels like a hospital cafeteria. Actually, it feels like a banquet hall. From the glassware to cloth napkins, bread service + condiments in plastic containers with lids. The hostess (Alex) was very friendly and sat me at a booth per my request. She even delivered my drink. The menu offers an assortment of items for everyone's taste. I ordered the Landing Burger and replaced the beef patty with chicken. It was delicious! Fries were served piping hot and the staff was friendly. I detail the interior at length because I don't think this would be a destination to celebrate a milestone or host a birthday party. read more

We were first greeted by 3 hostesses, who were happy to show us the menu before we decide to sit down. One of the hostesses were talking about inappropriate personal information loud enough for us to hear. After we were seated our waitress came up to the table immediately. My guest already had a beer from the casino, so she asked if he'd like a water. He accepted. She was very upbeat and welcoming. A few seconds later a another waitress came over to take our drink order. We told her that another girl already had taken our order. The first girl came back with our drinks. She asked us if we needed more time and I said we were ready to order. I ordered the Taste of Italy and my fiance ordered the Filet. He asked what came with it and the waitress said this was her first table alone. She went right to it in the menu and told him what options he had. While we were waiting for our food, the assistant manager came over and asked my fiance if he wanted a glass for his beer and he brought a frosted mug. The food came and the Taste of Italy looked and smelled so good. The filet with baked potato and asparagus looked good, but the potato was not cut in half and the butter and sour cream came in little plastic containers, which seemed odd on a $32 steak plate. The waitress said the steak plate was hot. That was odd to me as well for a steak. With all that weird stuff, one bite into the taste of italy and I was in heaven. The cheese, sausage and pasta were incredible. It was way too much for me to eat it all, but it was so good. My fiance eats steak at higher end restaurants and he said this was one of the best steaks he's ever had. This place is a very new, but the food more than made up for the bumps. read more

We are currently staying at the Casino and just wanted on our first night to have something simple so we decided a burger at The Landing Cafe. Service was good but probably the worst burger we have ever gotten! To top this the Fries were cold. We commented to the waitress our concerns and she basically said "O well". So my advice is eat off the premises. read more

The say it's a ribeye but it's watered down with no flavor meat. Also it's supposed to be 20+ oz but it's not. I do not recommend this place for steak but the apparently have great pizza. I do recommend their desserts... can u say big portions!! read more

We eat here often when visiting Harrah's, I usually order the filet with baked potatoe and salad, I like my steak usually medium rare but order it rare here, their medium rare is not even pink in the center, but saying that, it has always been very good. I have friends that love their pizza, and I have tried their wings which are very good, I give 4 stars due to the limited menu but have no complaints. read more

Food was good. Frequent the restaurant two times. I had shrimp Alfredo and salmon. Both were delicious. Friend had the steak and thought it was good but overpriced for the size. Also had the calabash shrimp that was decent. Servers were excellent and very attentive. read more

We really enjoy our date nights to The Landing. My wife and I usually share a meal due to the size of the portions and we split a salad or app as well. Quality of food is quite high and the service is always good. However, the real treat comes for dessert. Their cakes are AMAZING and absolutely massive. Our personal favorite is the carrot cake, but the others are fantastic as well. We have had the seafood, steaks and pizza and have enjoyed all of them. It's becoming more of a regular now instead of a special night out due to our enjoyment! read more

Our server Michelle was outstanding and offered us delicious suggestions. Went above and beyond getting me an off the menu item - spinach salad with salmon. Was excellent. French onion soup was fantastic too. Manager Nate visited our table, friendly and a nice touch. Convinced us to try an amazing carrot cake even though dinner was already great portions. Will return when in Murphy! read more

First, I must remember it is a "Café" and not what I would consider a "restaurant" and really wish they would put in a nice restaurant. That said, it was not bad, I had gambling points so it was free, but it was good enough I would have paid. They have draft beer (+1), which they have to go get at the bar outside the café. I would give the service a 5. It was around 7 PM on a Tuesday and the waiter was excellent and very helpful. The food came out in short order and the burger I had was really good and I really like the twisty thick fries. For a "Café", I would give it a 4+: clean, service was great, and food was good. read more

We tried the pizza. The crust was good. A little chewy and the bottom was crisp not burnt. The veggies were fresh. The sauce was good. There was plenty of cheese. The server Alli was sweet and attentive. read more

The food has changed since we were there a year ago. Loaded baked potato was horrible-like it was leftover from yesterday and reheated in a microwave. Hard and tasteless. The French onion soup we always loved had changed-the taste was like too much oregano and the cheese topping was like pizza toppings. Key lime pie was great. Probably will not go back. Staff was friendly. read more

The restaurant itself is nothing spectacular. Looks kind of like a Denny's. The service and food was excellent! The ribeye was fantastic!! Definitely a place we will visit again! read more

Well, I want to start out and say that our service was very good, our waitress was efficient and concerned and very active regarding my shellfish allergy. That's why I gave it a one star. She deserved that. I ordered the chicken Alfredo and my partner ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes. I took a bite of my Alfredo and thought..."hmmm, the chicken is cool" the pasta was warm and I figured they just did a reheat on precooked chicken. I had to add salt and a ton of pepper to the dish, as well as Tabasco , just to give it flavor. I pulled the larger piece of chicken out to cut it and it was RAW in the middle. I have eaten raw chicken. The manager came over and wanted to know if he could get me anything else. The answer was a resounding no. I hope I don't get sick from this. He did take my food off the bill, as he should have, he didn't, however come back to the table, nor did he apologize for this horrific meal. The salmon was over cooked, dry and flavorless as well. I would absolutely have to be dying of hunger and everything else on the planet closed to eat here again. The potatoes and blue cheese dressing were good. If you like a little romaine, 2 cucumber slices, 2cherry tomatoes an abundance of red onions...order the blue cheese dressing with it. Didn't take pics of the raw chicken but, ya know. It looked like raw chicken. read more
