    I have had some really bad breakfasts experience at this place in the past (terrible ham steak) and a rude staff. I was also denied Chinese food as it was 9:01pm (Chinese menu is removed at 8:45) and was forced (lol) to eat a steak instead (which was actually surprisingly very good for $9. Well seasonned and juicy!). Originally, I wanted to rate this place 1 star but after 3 or 4 meals there, I give it 4 starts and here is why. As I mentioned, the steak deals are amazing. The staff is nice helpful and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though the decor and vibe is really outdated (booth seats are destroyed) the staff makes up for it, they crack a lot of good jokes and are very efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Chinese menu (which I could try twice this year, even at 09:01pm ;) ... I got lucky, the table next to ours ordered Chinese before us and couldn't get their food...) features slightly bland Americanized Asian food but it does hit the spot when you are craving it, especially after a long motorcycle ride. Perfect pairing with a $14 bottle of chilled white wine! The Prime rib is very decent for under $10.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only complaint was the construction was noisy and dusty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our food was tasty and fast. Our server was very nice. I had the Baja omelette. The salsa was quite warm. But, it gave the omelette a nice zing. Ham and cheese omelette was enjoyable too. Now we will go gambling.

    There was a wait due to the special that they have going on. I'm not sure how long or how often the special is, but it was a good deal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated towards the back area which was pretty huge. There were some noticeably broken tables and chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cleaning solution that they use had a strong lingering smell too and it was kinda muggy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good temp inside though for it being cold at the time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My son ordered a burger with fries. He said he enjoyed it. Only thing was he said the fries weren't crispy enough. But I mean, he ate it all lol. I got the prime rib deal. Love how fatty it was and it came out perfectly medium rare. The veggies were kinda like outta the can, so that's one thing that I would want to have improved on. All in all, the meal we had was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just the atmosphere itself was outdated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This is an update photo I for to add. Also FBM (food beverage mgr) asked if I wanted another piece of prime rib but WHY? The first one tasted old, looked good no flavor or spices. Nah I'll pass get someone that can cook prime rib!

    Salt shaker had ALOT of pepper in it. It's supposed to be just salt.

    The food and the service used to be good at the Virgin River Café. But the past year it has gone downhill. I ate there yesterday and ordered the porterhouse steak. It was half the size that it shows in the picture and very thin. My salad was wilted with old lettuce that was all brown. I was scared to eat it. The butter for the biscuits tasted like melted chemical plastic. The vegetables were old, wrinkled and dried out. The side of ranch I ordered to dip my french fries in had a piece of lettuce from someone else's salad in it. Disgusting! The salt and pepper shakers on the table were also disgusting. The salt shaker had half pepper in it. Being that I cannot eat pepper, that was not cool.

    Prime Rib Special

    Food: 4/5 : ordered the prime rib special. Can't go wrong for $12.99 (a thick slice of prime rib, baked potato, steamed corn, and a dinner roll). In my opinion the prime rib needed more seasoning but everyone has their own preferences. So I just added more salt/pepper & it was fine. Service : 3/5 : We waiting 45 mins to get seated, our serve did not approach our table til 15 mins after we got out table. They were short handed so it's understandable but our server was rude & rushing us the entire time. Overall, I would give them a chance again & hopefully it will be a better experience. The prices are reasonable with the amount of food you get. Please hire more people.

    Is there a patio?

    No. This restaurant is inside the casino and as far as I could tell all the seating was inside.

    No you order the food and pick it up at the hostess station

They replaced the meal, but that should never have made it out of the kitchen. On my most recent visit, I ordered a roast beef sandwich. The meat had a strange sticky texture, that I later noticed after 55% completed and later that day I developed severe stomach pain and digestive issues. I hadn't eaten anything else that day, so I was very concerned. To make matters worse, communication with several staff members was difficult because of the language barrier. I had trouble explaining my order and asking questions, which only added to the frustration. A restaurant that's built around the image of a classic American 1950s diner should deliver good food, good service, and clear communication with its customers. Unfortunately, my experiences have fallen well short of that. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements.

I got dirctions from the Yelp app and was soon at the golf club. The restaurant is quite nice. There is patio dining and great views of the fairway(s). After looking over hte menu, I ordered the chili verde omelette. The omelette has Pork chile verde, pepperjack cheese, sour cream, guacamole, topped with pepperjack cheese and chile verde. The sour cream and guacamole are in small cups so you can use what you want. You have a choice of toast. I got rye toast. Butter for the toast is served separately in small plastic containers for those who want dry toast. The omelette also comes with some hash browns. I was served coffee shortly after I was seated and it was refilled once and I was asked about a second refill. It was a wonderful breakfast and made my drive to Mesquite a tasty place. The Grille gets 5 stars especially for the service. My server, Jessica, was delightful and so pleasant. I'm not in Mesquite often, but I would stop here another time for a meal.

The mac and cheese was watery, the fried fish was lukewarm, and the country gravy was basically flavorless. Thankfully, the salad bar and fresh fruit did not disappoint and were definitely the highlights of the meal. Overall, we were disappointed with the quality of the hot items and expected more from a buffet. Hopefully, this was just an off day.
