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

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

I woke up on Sunday and decided I needed a milkshake. It was the only thing in the world I wanted…read more I looked for places near me to get one, because I didn't wanna make it myself and this restaurant popped up. I have thought about trying it for sometime, and Sunday was the day. I got my person off of his computer game and we drove down to a decently busy drive through, so we decided to go inside as we wanted to review the menu anyways. The restaurant was clean and cute, almost set up like a little diner. THIS PLACE HAS EVERYTHING. or at least every fast food type item I wanted to see on the menu. We ordered chicken strip basket, a jalapeño burger, a chocolate shake and fried zucchini. There was at least 40 other things on the menu that I wanted to order, but figured this was a solid order for our first time. There was a little confusion with the cashier over the jalapeño burger, but I refuse to dock stars for a cashier who looked like they were still in training. The important part of the mix up, was the chef came out to clarify exactly what we wanted, so it was never really a problem to begin with. That chocolate shake has been living in my head rent free ever since, because it was perfect. The jalapeño burger (we ended up with 3 patties instead of two, per the menu confusion) basically brought tears to my partners eyes because it was so perfect. And they actually season their fries!!! I would give 6 stars if I could. Don't sleep on this gem. Whether you would call it a drive in or just fast food it is AWESOME.

We've had Burger Shack on our list for a while. We love stopping by old school drive in type burger…read moreshops for a no frills, just good food experience. We stopped in later in the evening for dinner and got the mushroom cheeseburger combo ($12.99), the Pastrami Cheeseburger combo ($14.99), cheese curds ($5.99) and fried okra ($5.99). They gave us our drinks right away and they have the nice crushed ice that's like tiny pebbles. It's always a treat when a spot has this ice because it's tiny and crunchy and not offered a lot. The food didn't take too long and came out on a tray for our dine in experience. There are plenty of booths here and during our visit there were a lot of other people enjoying meals in small groups and couples. The food was hot and fresh and the fries were nicely cooked crinkle cut fries. The fried okra as good, but needed a bit more seasoning or sauce to dip (we had ranch). The cheese curds were great, hot and the cheese was perfectly melty. My husband got the mushroom cheeseburger with just mushrooms, cheese, pickles and added bacon. He said it was a good burger and satisfied his craving, but isn't something he'd specifically seek out. I got the pastrami burger with everything on it and thought it was delicious, but the pastrami was a bit overcooked and dried out so the texture was a bit hard to bite through with the burger and I found myself eating the pastrami separately from the burger. There's plenty of parking here and they have a drive through. I heard the milkshakes are great, so if we stop by again we'll try one.

My husband is loyal to the Smoked Whisky Burger, while I somehow end up ordering a different burger every time because there are too many good options to commit to just one. 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. They are always involved, support local families and organizations, and fine ways to be part of the community rather than simply operate a business in it. They are wonderfully kind people who also happen to make some of the best burgers around. We will happily keep coming back; for the food, the beer, and especially the people.

So you go to the cashier to order, the list of burgers is formidable. It takes a while to decide but I settled on the Mushroom burger one of my favorites to try on a new burger place. This more than made the grade with delicious sautéed mushrooms with Swiss cheese and of course the great Parmesan fries. I will definitely come back here even though it is a good distance from my house. The prices are pretty good for what you get ,I Give it a hearty thumbs up.

Our order-- Western Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries & a Peanut Butter Shake Old Fashion Melt with Fries & a Strawberry Shake Ranch for dipping The lady at the window was friendly. The food came, & honestly, it didn't look very promising. However, the humble, no frills appearance belies yumminess that delivered in that greasy spoon kind of way that satisfyingly hits the spot if that's what you're craving. The taste breakdown-- Fries--crispy & hot, unevenly salted, but overall good Western Bacon Cheeseburger--the mister really enjoyed it, thought the patty tasted "meaty" Old Fashion Melt--the patty size doesn't match the bread size, but it means you get some buttery bites of toast, the cooked red onion added some sweetness & still some crunch, the acidic mustard cut through the fattiness of the meat & rich cheese, surprising flavor payoff from the sum of its parts Ranch--really thick & creamy like sour cream, had a nice tang, very mild & not very herbaceous, taste reminded me of Boursin Strawberry & Peanut Butter Shakes--great flavor with a thick, drinkable texture We would stop by again for some indulgent eating.
