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

Whomever is their chef or whomever creates the menu items needs a raise! (lol). I love their pretzel sticks & pimento cheese here. I crave it when I'm not eating it. Haha. They do a phenomenal job with the menu here & the staff are always very friendly and attentive as well. I am not sure if they still do it (I haven't checked in on it for a long time) but a while back they had trivia nights. I went to a few and they were so fun! They had actual entertaining questions that people might actually know the answers to. Just a fun thing to participate in :-) The only slightly negative thing I could say about this establishment is that can sometimes get pretty loud in there because it's a small restaurant with a bar attached so sometimes (well, often) drunk people talking loudly at the bar can be annoying if you're sitting at a table close to the bar. Other than that small thing, everything else is great! :-)

The gentleman working the bar was attentive, friendly, and clearly knows what he's doing. Every drink was incredibly well-made, creative, and delicious. You can tell there's some real thought and skill going into the bar program. The vibe is also fantastic. Cool, laid-back decor with some awesome portraits of a few absolute GOATs on the walls--Dave Chappelle, Anthony Bourdain, and others. Definitely gives the place some personality and makes it feel like somewhere you actually want to hang out. I didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but I cannot wait to come back for the veggie burger. If the cocktails are any indication of the quality coming out of the kitchen, I'm expecting to be very happy. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and clearly a place that knows how to do things right. Already looking forward to my next visit.

We were seated on the darker side of the restaurant, while the other side seemed a lot more lively and bright, but it wasn't a big deal. We really enjoyed most of the food! We ordered the ribeye, Dakota chicken, chicken wings, and a side of fries. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the Dakota chicken, but my husband really loved it. The ribeye was delicious, and the rice that came with it was really good as well. The complimentary salad was fresh and tasty, and the bread was nice and fluffy. The beans, however, were probably our least favorite, very bland and lacking flavor. Funny enough, the chicken wings were the highlight of the meal for both of us! They were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Our server was also wonderful, very attentive, friendly, and quick to bring anything we needed. Service definitely made the experience even better. As far as pricing goes, I didn't think it was outrageous, especially since the portions are pretty large. The one thing that felt a little steep was adding the shrimp scampi. I believe it was around $13 for only about 5 shrimp, which seemed pretty pricey. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back if we lived closer!

The food was solid, the service was good, and then came the Old Fashioned…read more $14 for an Old Fashioned... and they served it over crushed ice. I'm sorry, but at that price, I expect a proper large cube slowly melting into my drink--not something that looks like they scooped ice out of a snow cone machine. A $14 Old Fashioned deserves dignity. It deserves respect. It deserves one big, beautiful cube. Crushed ice? Disgraceful. The drink was basically an Old Fashioned on a budget wearing a $14 price tag.

We've never been disappointed. The rest of the food is just as good, and they always have a great selection of beers on tap. But what really makes Famous Burgers & Brew special is the ownership. Eman remembers us every single time we come in, and that kind of personal connection is becoming so rare. You can also tell how much they genuinely care about the community.
