    filet mignon, coconut rice and shrimp 5/5
    David U.

    we have been here a half a dozen times before going to the venue. It has a good selection and we've tried the French dip, turkey dinner, spaghetti, and I've also had breakfast here with no complaints but this time they outdid themselves we tried the special that included a coconut rice, broccoli .filet mignon and shrimp for $39 and it did not disappoint. Kudos to the Chef cause I'll give this a five star. I took away one star only because there were 5000 people coming to see Sebastian Maniscalco and the place was very crowded and this was the first time we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated and also to get our food. Also, we didn't go to Red Lantern because we didn't make a reservation. That is our other go to spot that you can't miss.Btw, the "Venue"is by far one of the nicest places to see a concert or comedian, especially if you have VIP balcony seats

    Cheesecake
    Amy K.

    Delicious! I got the Sourdough Frisch Burger, and it was so good! If you like mushrooms and cheesy sourdough, you can't go wrong with this. The French fries were also really good. Perfectly crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Our waitress was really kind and attentive, and I love that she asked if we wanted ranch for the French fries before our food even arrived. For dessert we got a slice of cheesecake and a banana cream pie. Both were delicious and honestly not horribly priced for being in a casino. The only downside was the casino was crowded and we were seated at the front of the restaurant, so it was a bit difficult to hear each other. But otherwise, great dinner!

    Clam chowder in bread bowl (delicious)

    Went to a show at the Thunder Valley Venue and the buffet was closed due to a private event(wedding) so we went to the Thunder Cafe. We were seated within 10 minutes which was good considering it was crazy busy. Our order came out promptly and the service and food was tasty. I had the clam chowder in a bread bowl, the chowder was creamy and delicious. The bread bowl was soft and crispy on the outside which made it perfect for dipping in the chowder. All in all was a good meal!

    Baked rigatoni with bolognese

    The food here was actually really good and surprisingly affordable. I've been to other casino restaurants and their prices rival that of a fancy Michelin star restaurant with the quality of a 7/11 so I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and price of Thunder Cafe. They have a great array of food from classic Italian food to traditional American food as well as plenty of sweet treat bakery items to choose from. They have plenty of seating but my friend and I took our food to go since we were staying at the hotel. I got the rigatoni with bolognese and it was really delicious. The sauce was flavorful, the noodles were perfectly cooked and it had a lot of cheese which is my favorite part of any pasta. The garlic bread wasn't really garlicky at all but it was still really soft and paired well with the rigatoni. My friend ordered the pepperoni pizza and thought that was really good as well. You can't even tell it didn't come from a pizzeria. Overall, we were both satisfied with our meals and would definitely return next time we visit Thunder Valley. Everyone there is so nice and the service was great,

    Came back a second time to try out lunch and it didn't disappoint. Our server was very nice and friendly and the food was nice and filling .

    Decided to check out Thunder Cafe before attending the Freestyle Explosion concert with another Yelper friend, May A. We actually tried a different spot at first but the wait time was almost 2 hours which would've gone past the concert start time. We got seated immediately in a booth although the place was busy with lots of customers. Clean tables though May had to point out to the server to wipe off her seat and the server was very accommodating.. I ordered the reserve prime rib dinner with baked potato and veges. She ordered the blackened grilled Atlantic salmon with rice pilaf and veges. We shared a small piece of each other's order. The meals were delicious!! The blackened salmon was very tasty and the prime rib was very tender and juicy, plus dipped in au jus sauce. The server was very attentive and courteous checking in often on our requests. Good experience overall.

    Turkey dinner to-go
    Jared H.

    I had the turkey dinner as a to-go order and it was surprisingly delicious! The turkey breast was very moist and flavorful. The mashed potatoes had a lot of flavor and paired well with the gravy and turkey. The cranberry sauce was sweet and had whole chunks of cranberries. The vegetables were very buttery and tasty. The portion was average and would be filling for most people, but if I was very hungry I could probably eat two meals.

    Parmesan Cheese bread + marinara dip
    Jackson T.

    I've been here a few times now with family. Their prime rib is really good, but I feel like the cut is too thin sometimes. I recently ate here and got the parmesan cheese bread with marinara and cowboy burger. The food was good and service was great. It was crowded though since everyone was coming out of a show. My food came out pretty quick and my server brought out my drink refill and ranch quickly. I enjoyed my burger and the cheese bread was great. The fries are seasoned perfectly well also. The cafe itself can seat a lot of people and there are booths and tables that you can sit at. They also have bakery and dessert items in the front as well. You can pay with your comps here.

    Food was excellent. Prime rib was tinder and delicious and veggies were cooked just right. I didn't hear one complaint from anyone about their food. Good service and food came our hot and in a timely manner.

    Service is always sweet quick and helpful I tend to get the salads here the taco salad yum the Caesar salad yum Fav would be Chinese chicken salad fresh light and juicy Also the dessert is next level and big portions Tends to be busy but big enough to not have a long wait Shows there are amazing Tends to be a bit loud but duh it's a casino

    Pepperoni pizza
    Grace L.

    We came here yesterday after finding out our preferred spots, High Stakes and Red Lantern, were completely packed. It turns out a Richard Marx concert was happening, which explained the crowds!The wait here was about 20 minutes, and they texted us when our table was ready. Since we were starving, the food definitely did the job. Our table ordered a Bloody Mary, the fish and chips, a pepperoni pizza, the New York steak with veggies and rice, and the turkey dinner. Everything was just okay, but it satisfied our hunger. Despite how incredibly busy the restaurant was, our server still made an effort to check in on us and see if we needed anything else. It is a decent, reliable option when the casino is packed.

    12/12/25- Checking out from the room and decided to grab a quick breakfast.. So many memories of when we would dine here with family.. Busy but service is attentive.. Went with the all American and the breakfast burrito.. Love all the baked goods..

I enjoyed the topping on my einspanner. I don't know what it is made out of but it is a very thick cream similar to marshmallow fluff. Twin likes to mix drinks so after we both had half she combine the drinks and that was tasty too. We also ordered the combination by me. The bread was very good, fresh, but not super dry or stale. The inside was good, but it needed pate and fat and a little more seasoning. It had a very nice presentation as it came in a little box. We don't live near this place but the next time we are close, I will stop by.

Now, I can simply walk through the building and pick up great salads and sandwiches!! They just Grand Opened on 03/02/2020 - met the owner, super friendly and nice. Her brick/mortar location in Sacramento recently branched off, away from "La Bou" and has now become her own... what does that mean? A lot of their menu items are familiar to La Bou... baguette... dill sauce... YES!! Yesterday, I got the sandwich/salad lunch combo for $11.85 - Salami and Cheddar sandwich with Chinese Chicken Salad. She suggested to pop the sandwich in the microwave for a few seconds to take the chill off the bread. Worked like a charm. They have the little condiment packets on the back counter (mayo, mustard, butter, plastic utensils, etc). It's a lot of bread to filling ratio, but to me, it hit the spot. Your combo even comes with 2 slices of bread - yum! Today, I got the roast beef and again chicken salad. Definitely love the amount of roast beef in the sandwich! $11.85 for a sandwich and side salad is very reasonable to me. Can't wait to try all of their goodies, smoothies, etc. *Note this is a business office cafe - so, no seating - the cafe is pretty much all to-go. Everything is freshly made in the morning and transported over to the cafe from their brick/mortar location - so yes, some items do sell out.

When the weather is nice sitting outside is awesome. It's shaded and pleasant. They do allow dogs to sit outside, and I did witness a doggy disagreement, so if you are dog averse maybe ask to be seated inside. The service is wonderful. They are very attentive and all look like they are hustling. It is a wonderful experience to know that they care about their customers. Drinks are constantly refilled, and they constantly check in on you in a non annoying way. The food is where I disagree with most of the reviews here. My first time there I got the corned beef and hash. The corned beef was great, the potatoes could be so much better though. They need to be crisp and well seasoned, they were neither. Maybe you can ask for them extra crispy? The next time I visited I had a BBQ chicken sandwich. The chicken was kinda dry, the sauce tasted good though. I also didn't like how it was assembled, it seemed kinda tossed on the bun and sent out. They are so busy here, and I wish they would just take a little extra time in the kitchen to make the food as great as the service. This is like a 3.5 star, with the great service and the decent food. Would I ever come here out of choice? Probably not. Would I throw up a big fuss if friends wanted to come here? Nah, I'd go without issue. Maybe I haven't found my meal here yet.
