Emilia's Cafe inside the Pass Casino on Water Street is a hidden gem. I understand every situation is different, but I have no complaints. Host, waitress who got my drink, waitress who took my order, and a gentleman who refilled my drink, were all so pleasant. Great customer service! I ordered iced tea, the Chicken and Waffles, and the Jackpot breakfast. Yeah I was hungry. The Chicken and waffles had bacon bits that went perfect with the syrup. Sweet and salty combination is always a plus! The Chicken was fried to perfection. The scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy, the bacon crispy, just how I like 'em, and the hash browns and sourdough toast were a delight. They have a great selection of food, and were pretty busy when I was there. One added bonus I didn't expect, I played in the casino, and got a $10 coupon for the restaurant, so when I gave them my players card and the coupon, they deducted the rest of the bill using my points (which I didn't even realize I had). So basically I got a wonderful meal at a very inexpensive price (I did end up breaking even in the casino, so that's a win for me 🤣). Can't beat that!!!

Came in on New Year’s Day for a quick bite to eat, and I had some cash in my pocket that I was gonna put in the machine. Usually go to the rainbow I decided to give this place a shot. I previously used to patronize the El Dorado and I have not been here yet since they’ve taken over the space so I thought I would go here today. I ended up getting chased out by security. I wanted a half a sandwich and soup. The menu offers this and gives you a choice of a few different deli meats and then it comes with your Standard lettuce, tomato, onion, etc. and then on the bottom it says you can add bacon or out avocado. I don’t remember the price. I think it was 150 or three dollars to add each of those items. So I basically wanted to BLT a half of a BLT and the server was baffled. He told me that I should just order the whole sandwich because it’s gonna be too expensive to bring it in that way. I told him I don’t care how much it cost. I don’t want the whole sandwich. He argued with me probably four or five times told me that I needed to get the whole sandwich because it’s gonna cost too much. I told him I don’t care I have money. I think the actual problem was he didn’t know how to ring it in. I guarantee you this is not an uncommon request and maybe it’s his first day but this is something that can be done. I’ve worked in high-volume restaurants on the Las Vegas Vegas trip for 20 years. This guy can’t even handle a one top and a two top. After basically refusing to accept the order and repeatedly telling me that I needed to order the whole sandwich, I said I was gonna leave. At that point, he had brought me a soda which I took a couple of sips of. Didn’t think twice about the soda, I got up and left. On my way out, I told the elderly lady who was running the cash register that her server was an ass and that he argued with me about what I wanted to eat and so I was leaving. She didn’t mention the soda, which would’ve been the perfect time. I think under the circumstance, they should not charge me for the soda, but I would’ve been happy to pay for it if she would’ve mentioned it. So then I decide I’m not gonna let this ruin my day. I’m gonna put some money in the machine before I go across the street and get some food. As I’m walking through the casino, I see that pretty much every machine has a call attendant service needed type of flashing light on it. Which now I’m starting to see why this place is empty on New Year’s Day. Not just the restaurant. I decide that I will gamble next-door as well as eat now mind you I walked around the casino for a few minutes. It wasn’t until I walked out the door that security rolled up on me screaming talking about I didn’t pay my bill at Amelia‘s. Literally embarrassing me. At first, I said there was no bill because I didn’t remember the soda. And then I remembered the soda so then I was willing to come in and pay for it, but I was furious. I told the security guard all of the above. She apologized profusely. I told her I understand she’s just doing her job. When we got to the restaurant, I saw the old lady go to the server and ask for a check and he said there is no check. So I guess she just decided that 20 minutes later she’s gonna send security after me for a soda. After her server treated me the way that he did. I am now being subjected to being screamed at by a security guard about not paying a bill, which is false. When I got home, I tried to call the casino and no matter what option you choose you end up getting a busy signal. There was no one for me to talk to you about my experience. I highly doubt this place is gonna be here much longer.

My husband and I went to Emilia Cafe on a Monday evening. The place was pretty quiet, 20% capacity. The soup and the salad was very good. For the main dish we choose salmon with veggies it was good. The smoked brisket my husband got was amazingly delicious. From now on our choose will be always brisket at this restaurant. The place is nice, the entire casino got a major renovation recently. The price is unbeatable, main dish around $15. Beer $4, desert $4.

I was in Henderson for a 6-day vacation. I had 3 steaks (different restaurants), and Emilia's was the only one that cooked me a PERFECT medium rare. The staff was very friendly and even notified us that breakfast was still available even after 11AM! The atmosphere was very pleasant and everything looked modern and clean.

Wow!!! AMAZING!!! The people the food the hospitality were phenomenal. Open 24/7 why didn't I think of coming here sooner.

We came for trivia. The questions were fair and fun to answer and the host was efficient. Crowd was nice, but the service was some of the worst I have experienced. The road construction workers do the job faster than the servers here.

Diana is So Awesome!!! We walked in tonight and she knew our order by heart! We don't go there a whole lot so for her to remember us and our order and our extra bacon says so much. Shout out for excellent customer service!!! The food here is great and it is reasonably priced.

I usually have good service here although this last time we waited quite awhile while severs kept apologizing to us that they aren't allowed to seat us and we have to wait for the host who would be back soon. Finally host comes out of the back somewhere and seats us. We got the prime rib which has always been pretty good except for the fact that if you order medium rare it comes out rare, so if you want medium rare the just order medium. The broccoli was undercooked and tasted like garlic. Last time I ate here the broccoli was perfect and tasted like broccoli. I told the waitress and she spoke with the chef and came back and told me the chef put garlic butter on all the vegtables and told me I was the first to complain. I told her it wasn't like that last time I was here, she said they most recently started using this garlic butter on all the vegetables so next make sure to order vegtables plain no garlic butter 🤨 Not everyone like garlic. I do but not on my broccoli, I like my broccoli to taste like broccoli as well as corn and carrots to taste like corn and carrots not garlic. Waitress was great in her customer service and communication with chef and I, her and the food except for the broccoli was good.

This is the first time the Mrs & I stopped in for a meal here & I can guarantee we will be back. We went in for breakfast & were seated right away. The waitress was very friendly & we ordered their "Jackpot" breakfast. A standard breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns & toast. She had our meals on the table in matter of just a few minutes. We enjoyed the food & the quiet atmosphere of the clean dining area. But, we were very pleased with price! Only $5.99! And then they gave us a discount for my military service, bringing the price down even more! We will return to Emilia's! We really enjoyed our visit.

Some sources suggest that the name may derive from a Latin word for "rival." They do rival other breakfast spots in very specific aspects. Emilia's Cafe is a nearly 24/7 spot in The Pass, a local Henderson casino on Water Street. We had received food comps from the casino within the past week (valid for 7 days) and decided to try the restaurant since it's the only breakfast option here. The service was okay. They warned us up front that there was only one server for today, so I was fine with the delays. However, a nearby table pointed out that they could've cross-trained other employees to take food orders. That's some food for thought. I also was confused that nobody came to settle our check until asking someone and learning that you had to walk to the register. What is this, a Cali Viet joint? That aside, I did appreciate that the employee who took our drink orders offered lemon with our water, and we were able to flag someone down later for to-go boxes. I was feeling carby today, and that craving earned me some surprisingly tasty and filling bites. I'm starting to think that Henderson secretly has a competitive Biscuits & Gravy ($5.99) scene after a nice experience not too far from here, and this version was delicious too. The biscuits were huge and fluffy, and the white gravy had plenty of sausage bits while not tasting too salty. I also picked up one buttermilk Pancake ($1.99), which was huge, surprisingly thick, crispy on the edges, and fluffy throughout. It's close to being flavorful enough on its own, but I enjoyed adding both the spreadable butter and regular syrup. Savory is not their forte, unfortunately. I tasted a Mushroom Swiss & Sausage omelette ($11.99), and there may not have been any salt added at all. The Swiss was nicely melted, but that's all it had going for it. The buttered wheat toast almost helped the eggs enough, and the hash browns were okay. It's nice that they provide all kinds of condiments on the table, but you gotta have a good baseline flavor profile. The Coffee ($3.49) wasn't too bad, and they even provided refills when you could flag someone down. They also have half n half singles in addition to the expected non-dairy creamer. If you're a Henderson local, then definitely stop by Emilia's to use food comps to load up on breakfast carbs. Don't drive across town, and don't go if you want a decent omelet. Maybe I'll end up trying other things if I have the incentive to return regularly.

I don't like leaving bad reviews but hopefully this will help: I received a $20 voucher for my Birthday from the casino so decided to try lunch here. The server had short hair and glasses and talks broken English. I ordered the Grilled Double Cheese with Fries and a Coke. The waiting took forever and the server spent more time chatting with others, swiping the counter and disappearing then checking on the food. Finally, she brings my order in a take out container and says the wait was long because they made it like Take Out Shouldn't that make it faster? Anyway, I bite into the sandwich and had to spit it out. The white cheese was like rubber. I was going to complain but the server had disappeared again. I ate the Fries and was debating on Desert. She came back and I described what I wanted but had forgotten the title so she brings me the menu and as I am turning the page, she's gone again. Another server came by so I asked to speak to a Manager. She took the sandwich and showed it to someone and they didn't charge me but charged for the Desert, instead. (Sorry if Desert is spelled wrong). What really bothered me is as soon as the other lady helped me, my server came up and stated "You should have come to me." I didn't want to get into it with her and just shrugged and said "It's okay. She helped me." But, the stupid lady came back and said it again, before finally leaving..all annoyed. I did leave some change as a Tip because I didn't want a scene. The girl at the check out said they have had problems with this employee before. I might try again sometime if they get rid of her and learn how to make edible Grilled Cheese.

If you read nothing else, read this: They have the best cream of mushroom soup that I have ever had! Maybe the best soup I have ever had. We had signed up for the Pass Casino rewards and each of us got $10 towards food at Emilia's. Two of our group had Oct birthdays so they got an extra $20. We were allowed to all use them as a group of seven, which we appreciated the way they made it easy. I had the pastrami Ruben sandwich and my wife ordered the Rib-eye. My sandwich was great. I was glad I ordered the tots. Her ribeye was very well prepared. She had a baked potato and some green beans and of course that amazing soup at the beginning of the meal. The service started great when the bust person offered up water, coffee and other drinks. When our waitress came over to take our order, she was great and friendly. I can't wait to come back.

I received this dirty glass after I made a complaint at the hostess desk when I came in I asked can I use my 20 dollar comp here at the restaurant they waitress denied me for the fact it was no longer October and I had to insist that is was valid as there is no expiration date another person came and said it would work here and the hostess said sorry she didn't know I get seated and they bring me this dirty glasses as revenge or accident? No body knows you be the judge and I had to pay in full my bill !! Do not recommend gambling or eating here at the pass

We decided to go here for lunch. First impression, the atmosphere is nice and clean. The hostess sat us right away. We were greeted by a very friendly server. The menu has all the regular things you would expect but one that stuck out was the fried grouper sandwich. We started with the beef nachos which was huge! It was loaded with jalapenos, olives, churo beans, cheese and thinly sliced beef. Honestly,we could have eaten that and been full. I had that, the wife had the water street hamburger. The grouper sandwich was delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked. She said the hamburger was great. It had a really nice sear on it. Both items came with your choice of sides which seems to be something that doesn't happen that often anymore. Altogether that bill came to $48 which is a great price for what we had. We will definitely be back.

This place use to have the best burger, unfortunately within this past year, they decided to downgrade the size and quality of their meat. This change of meat has impacted various items on the menu including their Hawaiian Loco Moco meal. The menu has not been changed thus causing confusion as the picture shows the old larger full beef patty. I would not recommend an item that uses these sub-par meat patties. The loaded chili tots are amazing! Breakfast is great as well! Just don't order the loco moco! Service is still a 5 star!

In case anyone can't find it, Emilia's Cafe is inside Pass casino. I got the prime rib french dip. It was good. Just basic coffee shop type of American food eats. The ranch was not tangy and it was bomb. The service was perfect but it's not really busy. The casino is small and not crowded so it was easy for us to find the place.

They offer a nice dining coupon for veterans, the atmosphere is very comfortable, staff is smiling & you can feel the happiness as you are greeted with a friendly smile. I ordered hot chicken wings, My son ordered the shrimp tacos special! I will be back a local fan scrumptious I dine here alone often in comfort, great caring staff! Ernie was a very nice server!

Really cheap, probably the most inexpensive breakfast around. You get a very nice portion with 3 eggs, choice of meat and hash browns for 7.99, its the Jackpot Breakfast and I know that if you go during the week super early the same breakfast is like 4.99, its a great deal and very tasty and no waiting. This is our go to when we come to Vegas for a quick vacation, we also love gambling at The Pass Casino, we feel like locals and try and avoid the strip at all costs and love to patronize the local casinos and businesses.

Headed out to Emilia's for the first time to get some breakfast and was extremely impressed. It's located in Old Town Henderson on Water St. inside the Pass Casino. Restaurants are getting so expensive these days and yet Emilia's remains extremely reasonable compared to other diners/breakfast joints. We had the Corned Beef Hash, and Ham Steak breakfasts. (All come with Eggs/Hash Browns/Toast). The CBH was "canned style" but was crisped up and delicious and NOT greasy which was a welcome change from other places. (Nothing worse than ordering CBH and having it arrive soggy and served in a pool of grease - yuck!). Not here though - prob some of the best "OG" CBH we've had, to be honest. My bone-in ham steak was advertised as a full pound and it truly was a generous portion. I don't typically order this and please don't tell my mom (I'm Jewish and it would kill her) but I was happily surprised to note that it had both the delicious char taste and marks from the grill and more importantly, it WASN'T salty!!! My over-medium eggs were on point, and my daughter's scrambled were remarkably buttery and light. Those are definitely the "go-to" next time. I might order the hash browns a bit crispier next time but they were fine. Great, friendly service, and TRULY an excellent find. So why the 4-stars and not 5 you might ask? Well, I know it's not the restaurant's fault per se but if I'm being dead honest, the entire casino/restaurant reeked of smoke. Not the worst ever mind you and on the scale of 1-10 where being completely smokeless is a 1 and Frankie's Tiki Bar is a 10 (as in, smells like they haven't changed their air filter in 40 years), Emilia's and the Pass Casino come in at about a 4-5 in terms of ashtray ambiance. Definitely not the worst, but very noticeable if you're sensitive to such things. Will definitely be back though - overall, it was a great experience, and so nice to pay around $30 for breakfast for two (with drinks) when so many other places are in the $40-$50 range these days.

Old school diner in Henderson that is located inside the Pass Casino. Came here twice and love the old-school vibe. I like how they offer soup or salad with your meal and the prime rib is pretty enjoyable. This place is also open 24/7 so you can come anytime. It's a little hidden spot that I like to visit and enjoy if you love old-school diners. They also have pretty tasty deep-fried onion rings! But I do love how large the baked potato is. The soup is different daily so just ask the server and maybe try something new. But if you do come here get the prime rib and be sure you are hungry.

NOT happy! A simply breakfast cost me $45.! The hash browns were made in burnt oil and NOT edible. The sausages were greasy NOT edible! 3 of the 4 jams/jelly had High Fructose Corn Syrup! The 4th was SUGAR FREE but had artificial sweetener which I do NOT NOT NOT eat. WORSE YET the breakfast included pancakes or waffle or French toast ..... the syrup HAS HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! Which I would NOT eat so I asked for a topping substitute such as gravy syrup which Sabrina happily brought me and when the bill arrived I was charged $5.90 for the gravy which by the way was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I brought this to the attention of the waitress and the $5.90 REMAINED ON MY CHECK!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I am REALLLLLLLLLY NOT HAPPY about this! I have eaten here before and this place has SLID DOWN to NOT acceptable ... as a former Henderson resident. FURTHER MORE WHICH IS WORSE YETTTTTTTTTTTTTT there are too many homeless eating there!!! Pardon and forgive me but I do NOT want to seat myself at the table next to or with my head back to back with a dirty hair appearing filthy homeless person!!! There went sitting at the first 3 table Sabrina wanted to seat us at surrounding the first homeless man eating at Emilias! NEED I GO ON!!!!! I feel JIPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS.....The butter was ODD! I had the food wrapped to go after eating the bacon and a piece of bread of that $12.99 breakfast to give to animals but left it in the hotel room to be tossed as I would NOT give that horrid food to any of God's creatures!

This is a small cafe in the Pass casino. I came here Monday around 1pm, and got seated right away. If you are a Veteran, make sure to stop at the Players club and mention it. They have a generous discount program for veterans. Thank you for supporting our veterans in the community. We tried Bagel with lox and steak nachos. The food came out fast, and the portions were generous. For nachos, they use their chili. It was good and would have fed a family of four. Nothing fancy here. This is a place you want to stick with the diner staples. I would come here every week if I lived closer. This place has $3.99 breakfast special, you cannot find it any where. The Pass casino also has 50% off bar food on the game day. I have to come here to catch a game next time.

Came to this wonderful place this evening. I was greeted with friendly staff who helped me select my pizza. I ordered a Sicilian cut "who's your papa" gourmet pizza with banana peppers. All the ingredients are fresh. I was amazed watching the owner create this delicious meal. For dessert I will have the tiramisu which is only made Friday-Sunday. My new go to place for quality pizza. Awesome staff!!

An okay place in The Pass Casino. Emilia's Cafe replaces the cafe in the former Eldorado. It's open all day and night of the year. Basic cafe food. There's breakfast items that seem the most popular. I ate here early in the morning after a late night of gambling. It didn't have that much good on the menu. This isn't a vegetarian friendly place. Best options are offered at breakfast. The food is okay but it's overpriced. Best thing was the orange juice. It's $3.50 for a glass. There's no free refills. Bagels are about the only breakfast item without meat. It's $3 for a pretty typical one. This comes with cream cheese or jelly packets. It was okay for a hangover. This doesn't make for a good meal. Also the service is slow even if they aren't busy. It's like they get surprised when there's customers. The meat eaters here seem to like the brisket but like everything else this is overpriced and portions are a joke so don't expect much and it won't suck as much then.

I wanted to try something different and Emilia's had some ok reviews. So I came here for breakfast not realizing it was inside the Pass Casino. This place is open 24 hours which when I saw that I should have guessed it was inside a casino. I ordered the ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and wheat toast. The coffee was actually really good... the food did not come close to meeting quality. The hash browns were undercooked and greasy like butter made the hash browns soggy and gross. The omelette was ok, but had way too much cheese and barely any ham. The service was slow... waiter did try his best but the restaurant was not busy at all. I heard another couple near me that their order was burnt and wanted a redo. I had to wait up front for 15 min to pay my check... so to say the least... I won't eat here again. You get what you pay for that's for sure.

Not open 24 hours anymore. Closes anywhere from 9-10pm. They're adding rooms to the casino, good luck with that!

Cute 24-hour diner inside The Pass Casino on Water Street. $2.99 early bird special is 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon or sausage, hashbrowns and toast. Really can't beat that! It wasn't greasy nor burnt nor undercooked. Everything came out Just Right! At 7:45am on a Friday (12/31), this place had a handful of folks there but was not busy by any means. The cafe looks like it was recently given a full renovation / face lift. It's airy and bright and welcoming. I like the decor and color schemes. It's fresh. Service was very good and quick. We will definitely be back when the hubs needs to put more money on his betting app. Side note: The casino was not dark and smoky like I expected an older casino to be. It had remnants of smoke lingering in the air but it was not pervasive. (Note, I'm sensitive to tobacco smoke, so I notice it.)

Honestly a sleeper spot on water street, I'm sure people living in the area know but Emilia's is a true classic diner. Fast service, great food, friendly staff & over a great place to eat with the family. Their biscuits and gravy is hard to beat & probably the best I've had ! You get the true classic Vegas Casino diner vibe and there's usually never a wait. Love this place very consistent.

Many thanks to Emilia's at The Pass! Chef Josh did an amazing job on a catering order for 75 people!!! Egg salad, chicken salad & cucumber sandwiches & two amazing desserts! Staff was sooo professional, easy to work with, and friendly! I would use them again in a minute!

My first visit to Emilia's Cafe inside the Pass Casino. We both ordered the Water Street Classic burger which is a half pound burger. On my first bite I knew this was a quality burger with a flamed broiled taste. After praising the burger, I learned Emilias uses only fresh never frozen beef. The service was prompt and everyone working @Emilia's was friendly. The restaurant is clean, open 24/7 with all day breakfast and a large varied menu. I left surprised and impressed.

Service was HORRENDOUS and the "Manager" was spineless and useless. After waiting 15-20 minutes for a table, reasonable for 6:15 on a Saturday evening, waitress promptly greeted us and returned with our beverages and a dinner salad. Then it took in excess of 45-minutes and close to an hour to receive our orders of a Club Sandwich and a French Onion Salisbury Steak. No special requests. How long would it have taken if extra mayonnaise would have been requested on the sandwich? To add insult our meals were brought out on the same large tray with meals ordered by a table of 4 that was seated 20-25 after the same waitress had taken our order. Save your time and money and go elsewhere - runaway fast. Would have identified the staff by name but neither waitress or Manager introduced themselves by name.

I don't know why this place isn't packed I've been here eight times to eat so far. Everything has been good a few items like the bacon cheeseburger sliders any of the hamburgers prime rib and a ham steak breakfast is amazing other things are all very good nothing has been terrible. Service is friendly but they definitely are lacking help there's always just one waitress and one helper.

Poor service and they almost never get an order correct, so sad, it used to be a great place. It all changed about 6 months ago, now this place is garbage.

Wanted to love this as they have closed the diner in the rainbow casino. Can't say I did. Place was pretty empty and yet the service still manages to be bad, glad I brought a book Options more upscale than images but that's just words on a menu. Never received my salad. Ordered the brisket and it tasted good, but just three thin slices for$15. Maybe we will try again, probably not

No complaints from me in regards to Emilia's Cafe! Completely renovated diner, completely renovated little casino, and prices that can't be beat make for an enjoyable experience! I tried the BBQ Bacon Burger and was beyond impressed! The burger was huge, extremely tasty, and cooked to medium rare as I requested! The bacon, crispy onion straws, bbq sauce, cheese, lettuce, and tomato made this a knife and fork job! The fries were outstanding and cooked extra crispy just as I had requested! From the pleasant staff, new interior, and fair prices on the new menu, Emilia's is an excellent choice for a low key diner style night!

The smoked brisket my husband got was amazingly delicious. From now on our choice will be always brisket at this restaurant. The place is nice, the entire casino got a major renovation recently. The price is unbeatable, the main dish around $15. Beer $4, dessert $4.

We got there at 830. Placed our order at 8:35. At 8:50 watched the server bring food to another table that arrived after us. At 9:05 it was evident that the two cooks havent even started our order. A french dip & rueben sandwich should not take this long. This place was better when it was Mary's Diner. The menu sucks now sucks too.

Such a great place for breakfast. Especially since the rainbow club has such a terrible overpriced menu for lackluster food. Ernie who was our server was amazing and the reason I will keep going aside from the food. The other servers however, kind of just wander around.

All restaurant locations are really tweeners and this one pushed heavy 4.6 and a half....located inside the Pass Casino in Henderson and always think I am goons get the old smoke smells but based on another review and thankfully they were correct don't get that smell here...We t on a Wednesday early with the majority of patrons senior citizens but they have a diamond here.. Bang for the buck and they don't ask that many bucks from ya...I am on a Chicken Fried Steak roll two good ones in a row and this was less than 10.00 ... WOW... Great price and a full plate...o our server Ernie was also on point and he and Michelle the only two on at the time had full control of at that time 9 tables three that were 6 and above so they were hoppin but my coffee cup never went past half...See those Nachos... Wow... and the guacamole and Pico that came as sides to the quesadilla were as I liked with a lil bit of umph...inexpensive quality meal... That will bring me back in the future....

The service is very slow. It took about 5-10 minutes until the hostess/cashier acknowledged us. Then, it took another 10-15 minutes until our server took our order. My chicken and waffles were good, but not worth the wait. My husband ordered a corned beef sandwich. His bread was cold. We probably won't be eating here again.

My friend Tim and I drove down to Henderson so that he could get his coronavirus vaccine.We then went to the Pass Casino and decided to give Emilia's Cafe a try.Our main food server was Rosemary and our beverage server was Brianna and they were both nice and pleasant.I had a meatloaf sandwich special and my friend had some breakfast items.We were both very satisfied with our food.The meatloaf and the french fries that came with it both had a very good flavor that made the meal extremely enjoyable.It is a pleasant laid back atmosphere in here.I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this place.I will come here again the next time I am in this area.Try it.You will enjoy it.

I was at this restaurant recently with friends after worship. I was craving pancakes so that was what I ordered. They were AMAZING! The best that I have ever had. I ordered 2 and they were really big, so moist! I will be back often just to get the pancakes. I ordered a side of bacon too, it was limp and not crispy at all. Next time I will ask for crispy bacon. Try their pancakes, you will not be disappointed. I usually get their breakfast special which is 3 eggs, 3 bacon, hash browns and toast for a really good price and it is also VERY good.

Food is decent for a casino cafe. Recommend the salads and sandwiches. Breakfast food is average at best.

Went this morning to try their breakfast with the wife. Sat down right away (not busy) and after wiping off the coffee on the seat from the previous patron. Then as we waited for the waitress to take our order the waitress took the order of two other tables that came in after us. There was 3-4 waitresses standing around talking not doing nothing. We left and went next door to the rainbow and it's much better service. Won't ever try the Pass again..

Located in the new Pass Casino on Water St. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning and found a very nice restaurant which looks great when you first walk in. The menu looks good with reasonable prices. Our waitress took our order but forgot to deliver our drinks before our breakfast got to our table. The corn beef hash with poached eggs was okay but the potatoes were a little too greasy. My bacon was crisp but the portion seemed to be a little small. The coffee is very weak. The restaurant has a lot of potential and we hope it succeeds but they need to get their food up to their competitors on Water Street.

This place is ridiculous. We waited over 45 min for our food and still never got it. People around us that ordered way after us kept getting their food and we were fed up so we left. The waitress never told us an update on why our food was taking so long. We ordered two breakfast items. It wasn't busy at all. We also had to wait forever to get a refill on our coffees. Whoever runs this place needs to step it up and get on their employees. We will NEVER be back.

I was there on 12/25/21 for dinner. The place was busy, the service was outstanding. I ordered a New York steak, the waitress informed me that the chef didn't like how my steak turned out, so gave me a smaller one to enjoy while I wait for my new steak to be done! That is amazing customer service!!!

This restaurant is a little jewel hidden in the back of the Pass casino...it has pretty booths adorned in a light sky blue and the murals on the walls are cute and whimsical. The chef that has been there each time we have eaten there is excellent! He makes a fabulous flounder that is coated with egg and topped with a delightful sauce. This is my favorite dish, however I have had other dishes that satisfied my discriminating taste buds as well. The service is exceptional and very friendly. They make you feel at home and welcome. One server in particular is Remily and we LOVE her!!!! She was gregarious, kind, inviting and was very sweet. Remily loves her job and it shows! We were so impressed with her open armed friendly welcome and how she handled our visit was impressive. It's servers like her that makes it worth coming back and who represent the restaurant with A-1 service. We look forward to going back VERY soon!!!!!

We enjoyed our dinner, having the New York and Salmon and very good salad. Just wish the cooking staff and the waitress staff could get along without arguing with one another. Need another system for when food is ready to serve, instead of cook yelling "order ready". We will give it another try as the food, atmosphere, and the price was all great.
