Breakfast menu

Good steak and salmon! However....we stayed at the Casino hotel on our trip across the country. Stopped in to the Cafe for dinner. There was a long line waiting for a seat. Once we were seated our server took care of us right away. Our chips and salsa arrived and were somewhat of a let down. These were chips right out of a bag and the salsa was somewhat bland. Our meals arrived and both the steak and the salmon were very good, but other than that, mixed veggies straight out of a can, buffet style rolls and baked potato. Also note that being in a casino, the atmosphere is very smoky. The Cafe had a Las Vegas vibe with historical pictures from the history of Las Vegas. Adding on we stopped back in for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. Less Smoky in the morning, shorter line to be seated and the food was very good with reasonable cost and large portions. Deffinately more impressed with breakfast. I had the breakfast skillet with over easy eggs on top. It had potato's, bacon, sausage, and ham and I had them add some cheese. It was very good and I would order it again.

Picture for Reference but a Really Close Match. Just Order It, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!

Came here for a Side X Side Ride with a Big Group & My Mom. Have eaten at Virgin River Many Times and was expecting the usual "Casino Food" It was Right around 6:30 in the Evening and they got us right in, very short wait. We Ordered and Split the Ribeye with Extra Onions. IT WAS AMAZING! As Good as ANY I've Had. It was Served a perfectly cooked medium with an excellent sear on the steak. It was a beautiful cut of meat; Tender, Juicy and FULL OF FLAVOR. Our waitress was very attentive and Brought us Horseradish and Au jus, it was DELICIOUS With Our Hot Steak. My only suggestion is to get the Check out quicker at the end of the meal. We could not have asked for a better overall experience Would Highly Recommend and Will Gladly Return to Support the Virgin River Again. VERY PLEASED. Thank You

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. 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. 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.

Only complaint was the construction was noisy and dusty. 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. We were seated towards the back area which was pretty huge. There were some noticeably broken tables and chairs. The cleaning solution that they use had a strong lingering smell too and it was kinda muggy. Good temp inside though for it being cold at the time. 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. Just the atmosphere itself was outdated.

Ripped seats nice make over

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.

Do they deliver?

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

Please note this Peggy Sue's is not affiliated in any way with Peegy Sue's in Yermo CA…read more The diner has a great 50's vibe and decor the food was good. Just as described o.n menu and portions just right. The service wasn't the best, we had to ask for our coffee to be refilled and the server forgot my toast. We had to flag down someone for both the coffee refill and to ask for my toast. The diner was not busy and I am disappointed that the server was not attentive. You know normally guest are served and then the server checks back after a few minutes to see if you need anything else. Well not the case here.

I hate leaving negative reviews, but after multiple visits, I feel people should know…read more The first time, I was served food with moldy bell peppers. 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.

We went here for our 28th anniversary. We are from Las Vegas, but with most of the buffets closing…read moredown it is hard to find a buffet with hot and cold crab legs. The buffet isn't huge, but the food was good and there are lots of choices. Not bad for the price we paid. The desert bar has the MOST delicious bread pudding that I have had in a long time. Our waitress Michele was EXCELLENT she kept our empty plates cleared and was coming by all the time to check on us. While we were in line waiting to get it, we met 2 other couples from N. Las Vegas that lives in our neighborhood. No, we don't know them, but it was fun talking to them in line. They too were looking for a good buffet. Yes, we will be back :)

Disappointing Visit to Sierra Buffet…read more We arrived at 10 AM expecting to enjoy breakfast, only to find out they had just switched over to lunch. A little disappointed, we decided to give it a try since the lunch items had just been put out fresh. Unfortunately, the hot food was a letdown. Most of the dishes were under-seasoned and surprisingly not very hot, even though they had just been brought out. 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.

My mom had the Hawaiian burger and ate every bite. The fries were also fresh and nice and crispy. My dad had the prime rib and it was cooked exactly how we wanted and the meat was very tender and flavorful. He got it with a baked potato and veggies. My daughter had the beef teriyaki and her steak was cooked as she wanted. The mac salad was diff than I'm used to as they add pineapple to it but we enjoyed it. My son in law did the ribs special and the meat fell off the bones. It was a large portion and he didn't finish it but really liked it. I was actually very impressed and would go back when in Mesquite.
