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!
James I.

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
Sal H.

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.

Salmon green beans jasmine rice sauce

The food was delicious the salmon was sautéd with lemon pepper, the sauce was amazing and at the end we decided to try the sizzled cookie on a skillet with ice cream which was to die for. Service was extremely attentive and friendly as well as a nice calm vibe to the restaurant. I would definitely recommend and come back!

Prickly Pear Margarita and a Classic Margarita
Jenelle G.

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!

The exterior of building
Julia M.

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

A Great Breakfast Stop After a Hike in Auburn! We came here…read morefor breakfast during the week after a hike in Auburn. We had just finished the Lake Clementine/Dam hike and were very hungry afterward, so we headed into town and ended up at Mario's. First of all, Mario's is a very pretty space. I loved the black-and-white aesthetic and the simple but thoughtful décor. There's bar seating, booths, and tables both inside and outside. Parking is plentiful, so that's definitely not an issue. I started with a regular latte, while my cousin ordered a chai latte. My latte was beautiful and served in a very original, deep, low cup that I absolutely loved. It was delicious and just perfect. Unfortunately, the chai latte wasn't really to our liking. It didn't taste much like chai to us--it had a strong cinnamon flavor and a combination of flavors that made it difficult to tell exactly what we were drinking. So, the chai was definitely not our favorite. For breakfast, I ordered what I would call their breakfast sampler, with eggs, bacon, and hash browns, which also came with a portion of French toast. My cousin ordered their Monte Cristo sandwich. My eggs and hash browns were amazing, and there was plenty of bacon! I chose all bacon, and it was thick-cut, smoky, and cooked to perfection. The plates here are HUGE, and the portions are definitely abundant. My cousin's Monte Cristo was their lighter take on the classic. Instead of being deep-fried, their version is dipped in batter and cooked, which makes it a little less heavy. It looked beautiful and had plenty of ingredients inside, but for us, it was just okay. We've definitely had better Monte Cristo sandwiches. Now, the French toast... WOW. This was easily my favorite part of the meal. The bread had this delicious cinnamon-sugar coating on top that took it to another level. Add the soft, fluffy butter and maple syrup, and it was absolutely superb. That French toast alone would bring me back! I also appreciated the nice, cold ice water that was kept at our table throughout the meal. Service was super nice and pretty quick, especially considering how busy they were. I also loved how many options they give you to customize your meal. I could choose between different types of bacon, sausage, or turkey, and my cousin was able to customize her sandwich and ended up choosing cottage cheese to go with a healthier, higher-protein option. They also have sweet potato fries, regular fries, and plenty of other sides that you can substitute depending on what you're looking for. The ambiance was great, everything was clean and well maintained, and even the bathrooms were in good condition. Overall, this was a very good breakfast experience. Not everything was a home run for us, but the service, atmosphere, generous portions, customization options, and especially that French toast made it a place I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area. And after a hike? Even better!

Everything was incredibly fresh: crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, onions, pickles, generous slices of ham and Swiss cheese, all piled onto a bagel baked fresh that morning. The Super Onion Bagel is my favorite because it's topped with red onions baked right into the bagel, giving it amazing flavor in every bite. What really sets this place apart isn't just the food--it's the hospitality. This is a family-run business, and they genuinely make you feel welcome every time you walk through the door. They remember their customers, greet everyone with a smile, and truly appreciate the people who support them. That's something you don't find everywhere. After more than a decade, the quality, freshness, and hospitality have remained consistently outstanding. Rancho Cordova is lucky to have this local gem. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just don't forget to grab a Super Onion Bagel!

Drink recommendation: Summer Breeze Mimosa The restaurant has a large outdoor patio, although the fans didn't seem to be working during our visit. Restrooms were clean and well maintained.

I do not recommend this establishment for several reasons and they are as follows:…read more1. The food was mediocre at best. 2. The ambiance was OK. 3. The service staff was not well-versed regarding the menu. 4. Negligently -the menu omitted food allergens. On October 17, 2026 @ 12 noon, My friend and I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict. Unfortunately and unbeknownst to me, they do not use authentic/genuine crab meat for this dish but do for the other crab dishes they offer. I have a severe soy allergy and as a result I experienced swelling in my hands, fingers, wrists, and feet for days. To combat the swelling and inflammation, I had to take multiple rounds of 600-800 mg ibuprofen for multiple days. The inflammation was so bad that I was hobbling on Sunday morning and I could barely lift anything with my hands. I consumed two hard boiled eggs so I could take 800 mg ibuprofen that morning. I spoke to Nick, the manager of the site, Sunday (18) and Monday (19) following the incident, and he told me that he was going to pass this information to the upper management. I waited until Wednesday (21) to call back, but another manager, Devon, was on site. At least he was sympathetic, but still no call from upper management. I also tried to send an email to upper management to the email that was listed on their website, but to no avail. It bounced back. As a result, I called the Sacramento County Department of Health and spoke to Mustafa. He told me that someone would call me the following Monday (26) or Tuesday (27). I received a call from Emily T. from the Sacramento County Department of Health after the site inspection. Evidently, since they are not a franchise and have less than 20 sites, they are not mandated to cite food allergens. She also stated that Nick said that the wait staff needs to be re-trained. In summary, I believe that establishments should clearly state on the menu food allergens. At least the wait staff should announce them to prevent future adverse reactions. Furthermore, I am never returning and will tell my friends and family not to go either.

Rex Tip: Explore beyond your usual order and try something new from the dessert case/ menu they never disappoint. And if you sit outside, don't be surprised if a few chickens wander by your table! They're part of the Fair Oaks culture and charm, and honestly, they're pretty cute. Just plan your visit because they close early: 5 PM on weekdays, 6 PM on Saturday, and 3 PM on Sunday. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex
