Gregg R.

Headline: Surprising Gem in Rancho Cordova. Location: When I think casino restaurant. I don't default to RC but a friend spoke highly of this place so I figure I would give it a chance. Upon arrival, we parked and at first we saw the tiny little wall entrance and my mind immediately went with hole in the wall but around front is the main entrance. The lobby is nice open and airy with a wilderness vibe and springy not the smoky smell I would expect. The restaurant area gives pretty standard restaurant which was a big plus for me. We were seated quickly. Service: Our server was training someone new during the process but I wouldn't have thought she was new. Both of our servers were great and super attentive. It was not very busy but really appreciated the service. Food: This is where I was surprised. The food is American fare but they do have some surprising items like loco moco. We primarily tried the value menu items but they were all decent quality and at 12 dollars for a meal it is hard to beat! Drinks were decent as well and they made a pretty wicked old fashioned. Definitely worth a stop for a quick cheap meal if you are near by!

Prime rib deal for $30! Comes with the salad and dessert!

I've been coming here for years. More for their drinks but I occasionally grab a full meal. Bartenders and servers are the best! They brought back their prime rib so I had to try it out. Currently Thursday's from 5-9pm. Not sure how long this will be around for. Price of the 10oz prime rib with salad and dessert is $30. Not a shabby deal tbh. BUT the prime rib was a bit underwhelming. Asked for a medium rare, yet it felt more on the rare side. Fatty as well, and not evenly cut. They salad portion was great. We weren't given an option for salad dressing, so ranch was what we had. Ice cream was peak satisfaction. Had the happy hour calamari for $12 as an appetizer. It came out quick. The peices were coated nicely, season well and was hot from the fryer. Came with marinara and cocktail sauce. I threw in my favorite part of the meal, the happy hour soft pretzels. It comes with two. Piping hot, fresh, not overly salty. It came with cheese dip and this honey mustard. The honey mustard or whatever sauce they served was really good. I'd come back just for that and have it on my salad. The food items on the menu are new. Added more options and removed a lot of fan favorites too (like the bahn mi fries... boo). I'll always back here. But now with more items, I'll come more frequently!

Raspberry lemon drop - delicious! and beer on tap

If you're looking for a place that has an international menu with great flavor and quality this is the place!! I lived here all my life and passed the neon casino sign off hwy 50 never knowing this hidden gem existed. I ordered the French dip - one of the best I've had. The pho - I was surprised how flavorful it was. I'm Asian so iykyk! I can't wait to come back. They range from loco moco to salmon to burgers and full bar. Please go. Nass was so hospitable. He took great care of us! We will be back soon.

Park West burger with sweet potato fries

The food here was absolutely fantastic. There was one bartender and he was doing an amazing job handling all the drink orders and dinner orders. My food came out in a very reasonable amount of time and my fashioned was very well made. The decor of the lodge is very warm and inviting. Next time I'm in town I will have to eat here again.

Came here yesterday for some lunch and football around noon. Ambiance - it was pretty quiet and laidback. Bar area was kinda dim. Food - got the Diablo sliders. Fries and a mimosa. Sliders was delicious. Juicy. Melted cheese and that habanero kick. It was definitely worth it. Mimosa was standard good. All of this would amount to a 4 stars maybe even 5. The big drop is because of the terrible bartender. I didn't get his name. Younger male. I want to say in his 20s. Light colored hair. He spent more time flirting and joking with one of the female patron. I assume she's a regular since he knows her by name. He barely came around to check in. Refill water. I didn't get utensils till my food arrived. Like 10min after I ordered. Then he started telling loudly about an incident that occurred recently. He said something like a guy fell and hit his head. Was bleeding. And he tried to call 911 but the phone at the bar doesn't work for some reason. And then complained that when emergency crew arrived. They were nonchalant and not rushing. He emphasized that the person was turning blue. Here's the thing. A patron talking like this. Sure. Customers go to bars to vent sometimes. It's expected. But this wasn't that. Why is the bartender venting while working? And not to mention talking about injuries and blood while people are eating. Seriously lacking professionalism and etiquette. Makes for a really poor experience.

Happy hour menu

Bartender Matt was awesome! Great customer service & awesome personality! Definitely made for a fun Saturday happy hour.

Me and hubs came to enjoy some drinks to kick off my birthday weekend and we had a really great time. Honestly this review is for our waitress AMBER who was absolutely amazing and definitely added to the enjoyment of the day! Her energy and general bright affect was awesome and we truly enjoyed her as our waitress! Great conversations, great laughs, and great service! Our drinks were top tear as well. Thanks Amber, keep being awesome!

Service is less than acceptable. The server/bartender saw we came in and sat down in the bar area. There were only 3 gentlemen at the bar and jo one else in the area. Dining area was closed and gaming area had roughly 5 people (slow dY) We were never greeted and after about 10 mins we decided we were not welcome. As we walked out, the server said "have a nice day" I will never come back do not recommend this establishment at all.

Ask the Community - The Lodge

Noticed it's in the casino premises. Is smoking allowed in The Lodge or is there heavy cigarette scent? Is it baby friendly?

The Lodge and Parkwest Casino Cordova is a smoke free facility. In addition, we have several air scrubbers throughout the property working 24/7. The restaurant is kid and baby friendly.

I have two kids there eleven and three I'm dropping off my wife off for an appointment in the morning want to have breakfast there it's saying it's not good for kids don't want to drive far from there?

There was a table full of kids when I went for dinner. You'll be fine

This place is so fun, it's like stepping into a restaurant from my childhood; where decorations are…read morethematic, chairs are comfy, and staff are fun. They have an amazing happy hour menu that goes until 10 Pm. The prime rib tacos were SO amazing, not spicy, so flavorful and the texture of the corn salsa added so much to the whole bite. The garlic fries were fantastic, loaded with chopped garlic (jarred kind), parsley and parm. We also tried the loaded potato skins, they were great but I was pretty full by the time they came so we left a wounded soldier. The tumbleweed onion straws were also fantastic! My friends ordered prime rib, kabobs and the filet mignon and were nice enough to share! The prime rib is served on a sizzling plate with au jus, and was fantastic! The filet was well seasoned and the kabobs were good, although I prefer a little more rare. The appetizer happy hour menu had $6 and $8 items, food and drinks. The howdy beer was $4 and was pretty decent! My friends loved the $6 raspberry lemon drops! Above all of this though, our server was amazing. She worked her butt off for us and really made our visit Amazing. I'm the worst and only caught that her name started with a J, and she'd been there for 20 years. She was so attentive and recommended amazing dishes. I can't wait for our next annual trip, this place just became part of my tradition!

Friday night and the place was packed! The saloon was full, so we waited for a spot in the dining…read moreroom. After about a ten minute wait, we were seated in a dining room booth. Our server Jenna was quick to explain the specials, and made a few recommendations. She took our orders and got us some drinks and an appetizer. Our entrees came a little later and everything was spot-on. I had the ribeye and my wife had the shrimp. After starting with appetizers and salad, we tried or best to finish our main courses but failed. We took what we couldn't finish home in to-go boxes. Thanks Jenna! for checking in with us and making sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend Cattlemen's for a date night dinner, or even a family dinner. (Get there early!)

I've loved Shangri-La since it first opened. The food is always amazing and the bartenders are…read morefantastic. I live in Fair Oaks and this has become one of our go-to spots. I do have one suggestion. I completely understand and appreciate the elevated vibe they're going for--it's part of what makes the place special. That said, I think there may be a bit of a missed opportunity with the bocce ball courts. There are large signs saying kids can't play on them and must stay with adults, but honestly, I come here at least once a quarter and they're often not being used. Given the location and the number of families in the area, it could be interesting to consider adding a small playground in the back. I know that might sound unconventional for a place like this, but I've seen restaurants do this successfully in Europe. What's really missing around here is a place where parents can enjoy an incredible meal and drinks while their kids have a safe place to play nearby. Right now, the only places that come close are breweries. There are almost always families here when I visit, so just a thought! Either way, Shangri-La remains one of my favorite spots.

Perhaps the best we have had on the "mainland". Decent selection of draft beers for some of group. "tezers, we went with daily deviled eggs. This day was buffalo wing. Deviled with spicy yolk. Topped with piece of breaded chicken then drizzled with buffalo sauce. The order comes with three. We were a group of four. Jaden made the order of four eggs. Yeah Jaden and thanks. Also had the brussel sprouts. Yum. Entrees were the baja taco plates the two in the foup loved them. I had the pork katsu sando. Five dollars more for fries. Great about of spice from the gochujang aioli. The radish, cucumber and cilantro balanced it out. Partner had the Shang burger. The great blend of meats and the sauce was perfect. our group was thinking bring a larger group for great outing. Will be back here soon.
