Locale Kitchen & Lounge

Food was pretty good, portions are small for the price. Gourmet'ish style. I posted pics of the appetizer, salt and pepper chicken wings....and the entree, buttermilk Fried chicken. The fried chicken.....pieces, we're white meat, a little over cooked - quite dry. The carrot puree was amazing with the carmelized onions. Had to order a side dish for a meal, and had the Tuscan Potatoes...which were also amazing. Service was excellent, very excellent in fact.

Inside Viejas Casino. This place is nice. It has a great wine room, the food was really good. Service was excellent. And if you show your players club card you’ll get a discount.

I've eaten at this place three times since they opened and the food is excellent! The server's are fast, friendly and the place is beautiful. The bar has poker video machines and Jason the bartender makes the best cucumber drinks from scratch! Love this place.

We have been many times and generally love the food , service, and drinks. Last night must have been an off game. Our server was attentive and very pleasant. A new server was training so he was attentive also. My Old Fashioned was decidedly sub par and not up to their usual standards. I spoke to the server and explained, but no acknowledgement or attempt to remake the drink was made. I was certainly billed for it though! We were seated with a fabulous view of the kitchen. We noticed that their practice is to plate empty oyster shells then scoop pre-shucked raw oysters into these shells. I suppose this must be ok, however we thought it was unappetizing. Who knows how long ago they were shucked? We won't be ordering oysters there again. While our visit last night did not meet up with our expectations and the service and food we have become accustomed to at Locale, we will certainly give them another visit. I expect things will not be so disappointing next time.

We stopped in for lunch. The grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup was delicious! I ate a lovely kale salad and french fries. Everything tastes fresh, wait staff was cool, and you can see the open kitchen where the food is prepared. Clean, well stocked place.

Such a beautiful restaurant! The grilled romaine salad and chicken tortilla soup was some of the best tasting soup and salad I have ever had. The biscuits were hot and the butter was delicious . Our server was amazing as well.

The three course menu was perfect for us - chopped salad, salmon and bread pudding great for me. Spouse had grilled ceasar salad, skirt steak and bread pudding also a winner. Wine list very good. Sean our server was outstanding.

Newer restaurant inside Viejas Casino. It's the "farm to table" concept featuring locally sourced items. The problem is that it's inconsistent. Even something as simple as the bread (well toast) they serve - several times it's been so burnt as to be inedible. But my biggest complaint is the menu itself. They try to be fancy and justify the high prices and often miss, sometimes badly. They recently changed the menu though and the Brandt Beef is wonderful. I had the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly and very tasty. A little salty though and I usually add salt to my steak. My friend had the black cod and it was really delicious, practically melts in your mouth. The second time she ordered it the portion was tiny though. Like I said, inconsistent. If I could change it I'd simplify the menu and make it more accessible and lower the prices. There's a reason it's not very busy and the prices, even with the discount you get with a Viejas player's card, are pretty high for a casino.

Amazing food. I was super impressed with the quality and the variety they offer. Me and my husband had a great time. We stopped here for a quick dinner and enjoyed the outdoor patio space. Our appetizer was so flavorful. The wings were crispy and perfect. The steak quesadilla was unique. I really liked the chipotle sauce that came with. The onion rings are to die for! I definitely would compare it to restaurants in Las Vegas.

The ambiance is awesome. Feels almost unreal like you are in a virtual world, but it's definitely real. Effective heaters for thr chilli weather. I got the short ribs. They were deliciously slow cooked. I didn't think the portion would fill me, but I was completely satisfied. Staff is super nice and hospitable. Even if you don't play, this restaurant is worth stopping by for.

Nice restaurant, but it's in a casino so it's a little loud where we sat, but beautifully decorated. Best fish and chips I've had in awhile, not super oily and huge pieces. I was full from just the soup and one piece and fries. The tortilla soup was so filling and flavorful.

Breakfast here was good. Nice and classy. Didn't expect a sports bar to be this nice. The service was great also.

What an amazing experience tonight. Six of us had dinner here with drinks and appetizers for $160. The food was fantastic and the drinks Devine. The service was above and beyond, she knew when to check in and when to leave us to talk. The ambiance is that of a cafe and sports bar. Brittany was our server and again was amazing. If you try this place ask for her area. She kept our glasses full and cleaned up as needed very polite and efficient. We had a French dip, two chicken dinners steak bites, salad. We had the cup of Mexican soup, broccoli cheddar soup and a pretzel for appetizers. The chicken dinner is a great deal and great tasting. Give it try.

I made a last minute reservation for this place for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and they had lots of availability on Open Table. When we walked up, there was a long line and a 30 minute wait. Thankfully, they took us and seated us and I'm really happy we were able to find a seat on the app. I liked the ambiance inside as it felt like a nicer sports bar with plenty of tvs showing Sunday sports. We ordered the sampler platter and substituted the jalapeño poppers for extra quesadilla. We were charged for substituting which wasn't made clear. The platter had wings that needed more sauce, but they were still good. The quesadillas had a nice amount of meat in them and the onion rings were fresh and crispy. The service was slow and we hardly saw her. Our waters were never refilled and it took some time to get extra ranch and sour cream. She brought us out a creme brûlée for my birthday since we were celebrating this weekend. The dessert was great. The ambiance and food were good.

Service was excellent with Marlene she was so sweet & fast she really was busy but made us feel special. She a great has attitude always smiling & hard working We really enjoyed the food here it's very fresh I had a bowl of tomato basil And their fried chicken hot coming out and bought half of it home Then my wife had the chili It's rich in flavor and very delicious and beautiful biscuits too We brought them home it's 3 in a order with whipped butter This Resturant is clean and efficient here We can watch sport with all the high lites or there dinning area is nice too Tonight we were at the sports bar side And because I said to Marlene I'll be back to get dessert if I win big and she said good you'll win we came back. She was happy to hear we're back and gave great service again She smiled even bigger

Nice clean modern decore. We were seated fast. Staff was nice and professional. My cheesesteak sandwich was good and fresh. I will be back soon.

This place was super fun!! The hostesses super attentive and the server was great too. Food options and menu are good. It's VERY sporty - they had the fights on and it was LOUD! They also had a DJ who played the best hip hop/rap of the 90's. Very fun vibe. Easy parking. Decent pricing. Good service. Give it a shot!

Let me start with viejas casino is the best casino in California awesome ambiance ,great service , Great comps for players . Now as far as this restaurant in the casino can't say nothing but good things super nice for a bar and grill . staff is amazing The food is amazing this picture should say it all . I have never waited for a table sometimes when I'm eating I see a Line to eat here but goes by super fast I would recommend reservations online to play it safe . It amazes me how people say they had a bad experience all you have to do is breath take it easy tell the manager . I also encourage people to review this place I see nothing but satisfy customers whenever I'm here. Give them a chance to fix it this place should be 5 stars

I lounged at the bar for a few hours with a couple of drinks while waiting on family who were gambling at the machines. The restaurant is located in Viejas Casino right next to some machines. The Vodka Berry Smash was super yummy but tasted heavy on the vodka pour. For food, I eventually ordered the Southwest Burger with Sweet Potato Fries as my side choice. The burger itself wasn't the best burger I've tried, but definitely good for the price value. The Sweet Potato Fries however were perfect, crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside! Apparently they don't charge sales tax at Indian reservation casinos so the price you see on the menu is what you pay, at least for this restaurant. Because of this, the total check comes out cheaper than any other American grill restaurant in San Diego from experience. The waitress who served us was very kind and got us our food very quickly! Will definitely be open to eating here again if I find myself at Viejas Casino in the near future. It is quite a ways from central San Diego, so I wouldn't drive here just for the food.

We enjoyed a quick bite at Baron Long Bar & Grill, after some fun times in the casino. We began with drinks, a Diet Pepsi for me, and an Iced Tea for my partner. I wasn't that hungry so just went for the Chicken Tortilla Soup. As for my partner, he began with the Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Baron Salad. Following that, he had The Baron Pizza. We had great service, beginning with being seated at a great table. We had made earlier reservations and had asked for a great booth, and we got a great booth!!!

This is one of the small few restaurants open in Viejas. The place is being renovated. We had to put our name on the waiting list. They said 45 minutes. When we got our table, the place settings were still being set up and the person doing this was annoyed at us, the customer, that the hostess sat us down already when she wasnt done setting up the table. Our server is the reason why I even gave this a 2 star. She got our order right away and drinks on time. I ordered the soup & salad, the rest of the party ordered fish & chips, margareta pizza, ceasar salad, and tuna salad sandwich. The clam chowder soup was pretty decent. It had a lot of clams in the soup but potatoes were so cut up without care. Some huge chunks and some small. Tossed Cobb salad was not very tossed. It lacked dressing that even the server looked at it and said, she will bring me extra dressing without me asking. The pizza was so bland. It needed more tomato sauce and maybe a pinch of salt. It was very bland. This is a place that you can go to if you're desperate for food and there's nothing else open that's better.

This is a nice restaurant located inside of Viejas casino. There was about a 20 minute wait for our party of 4. I had the tacos and sweet potato fries. The tacos are small but filled with meat, they filled me up along with the sweet potato fries. Service was quick and the server was nice. The other people in my party all ordered fish and fries.

Was super pleasantly surprised with the food and service at Baron Long! We had breakfast here after checking out and was super impressed. My partner order the breakfast plate and I had the country fried steak. Both were super delicious and came with bread options as well as a special honey butter. The interior is super big and breathable and had a huge outdoor porch I would love to come back and have a dinner date on.

Sisters and I enjoyed a one night stay at Viejas and decided in dinner here to celebrate my one sisters' bday!! Her husband treated us to this fabulous evening together. We were very pleased at this restaurant and so glad we selected it. We got the carne asada tacos for an appetizers since it came in threes for each of us to have one. My youngest sister got a bowl of clam chowder and said it was the best she's ever had. My other sister and I agreed after tasting it. She also got the steak caesar and said the meat was so tender she didn't need a knife to cut it. I got the shrimp fettuccine with garlic bread and I loved every bite. My other sister got pork ribs and it was also very good and tasty. The food made for the best dinner with my sisters. We'll definitely return. The prices were reasonable for what you got and the portions were generous!

I like the food and customer service. They have really good food and a balanced menu. I always come here when I'm come to the casino and it's the best thing going in there. Today I order the salmon with ceasar salad, and chicken tortilla soup that was very delicious. The soup was fresh and hot and tasted so flavorful. The seasonings were good to my liking. The salmon was perfect and just enough for the size. It's only $25.00, but taste like it will be more, very good quality. I do not play about my salmon at all! So this is a plus. Overall, I will be back. They get pretty busy but you can sit at the bar area if seats are available. I will come back of course to try a different item off the menu. They also have good moscato wine, which is my favorite. You gotta try here !

I have been eating at Baron Long for years. There food is consistent and I love their ranch dressing! I tend to order fish or steak when going for lunch or dinner. You can't go wrong with anything on their breakfast menu. The omelets, steak and eggs, biscuits, berries and yogurt are all scrumptious! My favorite part about Baton Long currently is the beautiful new outdoor covered patio area. They have heaters and fans so it's comfortable with any weather. They have a full bar with a bartender so drinks are delicious as well! The staff are all so friendly! I will say give yourself 1.5-2 hours to enjoy your meal here. The food can take 30 minutes or more depending on the crowd. I sit outside and feel like I'm on vacation. Sometimes we bring our laptops and work while we wait. This is a restaurant in a casino so it tends to be busy 24x7. The good news is you can make a reservation on open table and if you have a n Infinity players card you can bypass the line. Yes, there's almost always a wait to be seated. lol

Baron Long Bar & Grill had its ups and downs; unfortunately more downs than there were ups. The restaurant itself is very modern with an open kitchen. They do take reservations and I do recommend in doing so as it was about a 30 minute wait for those who did not make one. The atmosphere was comforting and you have the option to either be seated outside or inside. My first bad experience was with the staff. Unfortunately, I do believe they were understaffed as my table was not prepared when being seated and it took about 10 minutes for my waitress to ask us what we wanted to drink. When we were given menus, we couldn't find any drinks and so we asked her for a drink menu. Unfortunately, the drink menu is specifically for alcohol, so unless that's what you want; you'll be in the dark with what non-alcoholic beverages they serve. It took about 5-10 minutes just for us to receive the drink menu and we used the time to pick an appetizer. Before proceeding forward, I would like to mention that my waitress was very nice and hard working as she was bouncing around table to table, helping guests with whatever they needed. So the waiting time did not bother me much, but when it comes to the restaurant overall I do believe the standards should be raised especially at a popular and well established casino. We ordered the Sample Platter and it is a great dish if you have a group and are needing something to hold you up until the main dish comes out. The Sample Platter comes with wings, quesadillas, jalapeños poppers, onion rings, ranch, and a creamy sauce. The onion rings were thin but had a nice flavor and crunch to them. The jalapeños poppers unfortunately lacked in flavor significantly and were a major disappointment. The quesadillas had a nice crunchy thin tortillas with well seasoned and tender beef that was accompanied by either Mexican cheese or cheddar I'm assuming. I paired the quesadillas up with the creamy sauce they provided and I was craving more. The star of the platter were the wings. I chose buffalo flavored wings and I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but they were the best wings I have ever had in my life. The meat was juicy and plentiful, the skin was crispy and it was all brought together by a mouth punching buffalo oil that was not too spicy nor too oily. I will definitely be coming back for these wings. For my main dish, I ordered the Southwest Burger. It was not what I was expecting and I was disappointed. I requested medium rare and that was what I got. The beef itself was under seasoned and dry, but was thick which I do appreciate. The lettuce and tomatoes tasted fresh. However, I could not taste the spicy mayo except on a couple of bites nor the Swiss cheese. The true stars of the burger were the poblano pepper, cowboy onions, and the bread. The entire burger was just an oily mess and I had to force myself to finish it because I didn't want to waste food. I ordered sweet potato fries with the burger and they were nice and soft on the interior while being crispy on the exterior. If I had known how good the wings were, I would have just gotten those instead of the burger. It could have just been a bad day, but overall my experience wasn't that bad.

The ambiance was nice. I became aware of their decor and upholstery, everything- even the sconces were thought out. The gold on those ten chairs match with the gold on the walls and in these other animal print chairs. It was the same with the other colors and furniture and fixtures. I thought- someone actually put some thought into coordinating this place without matching. They went for a vibe for sure. Initially it took a bit to get some service but once we got going it was good service. I had the fish and chips- a generous portion and well-cooked which says a lot about the restaurant if they can do fried fish well. Nice place, good service, great food. 4.5 stars.

This place is similar to Chili's, but slightly inferior. An average rating of 3.5 stars is fair. Sampler platter ($21). 1) Short rib quesadilla: was ok; lacked cheese, but short rib was tender, 7/10. 2) Asian wings: pretty good, as it is seasoned and the fried jalapeño pairs well, 7.5/10. 3) Jalapeño poppers: was ok, tasted like the frozen ones from the groceries and at Jack in the Box, 7/10. 4) Onion rings: beer battered so these were good and crisp, 8/10. White chocolate cheesecake ($8): was ok, lacked richness, 7/10. The server was perfect. She was attentive & sparked conversation. I'd return here for food & drinks.

Rate should be BELOW a .5! My husband had been here before and he said it was a decent place. My friend made the reservations at 5:30 as we were going to attend a concert at 8 and we were celebrating birthdays!!!! We scheduled plenty of time to get food and drinks. We were seated, and we patiently waited for a server until 6:15. Then we received water to drink and placed our order. "A" was our server. I will be kind not to post her full name. We ordered appetizers , a salad and entrees. The salad came out.....then that was it.... By 7:15 we were looking around wondering where the rest of our order was.... as we watched others around us receive their food!!! Between all this time no one refilled our water and didn't even checked in on us. We finally flagged someone down. Our server came to us and was "surprised " we hadn't gotten anything, not even our appetizer. She seemed frazzled and was trying to "figure out" what was going on. 7:20 our server said dessert on her and food would be covered but we asked could we have beverages instead since we were thirsty. By 7:50 we received the appetizers and then the food to follow. Drinks orders didn't show up until 7:55. We waited well over 2 hours for our appetizers and entrees! So totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!! We were rushed to eat our food and when it was time for the bill, the server has the gall to try to charge us for the salads because we got them early????!!! WTH!!!! The whole freakin bill should have been comped AND at NO time a manager came by to check or apologize to us. My husband was furious of this kind of treatment. The server checked with the manager and they decided to comp the full bill. How awful of service and treatment. We were well above patient and I was feeling sorry for our server, until she had the nerve to give us a bill and charge for the salads!!!! By this time, I no longer had any feeling of empathy or patience. We still graciously tipped her although it would have been extra had she not tried to pull the charge on the salads!! Lol What a disappointment and no regards for our time and their big error!!!! BTW the over 2 yes OVER TWO HOUR WAIT for food WAS NOT worth it!!!!

I made reservations at the baron on Thanksgiving fir 7 family members 3 weeks ahead of time I wanted to give my wife a break from serving and give her the luxury of BEING served We show up Thanksgiving anticipating on enjoying a great turkey dinner and make memorable loving memories! NOT TO BE THE CASE My 20 year old grandson was turned away at the door for being underage! I understand him not allowed to gamble I get it BUT to have a rule that anyone under 21 can not enter a restaurant with their family is complete lunacy!!!!! So my son my daughter in law and grandson could not enjoy their Thanksgiving meal with their family!! Also the food was NASTY!! NEVER EVER RETURNING AS A COURTESY THEY SHOULD OF ASKED US WHEN I MADE OUR RESERVATIONS IF I WAS AWARE OF THEIR HISTORY OF RUINING FAMILY GATHERINGS I MEAN IF I WAS AWARE OF THEIR POLICY OF NO ONE UNDER 21 ALLOWED IN THEIR RESTAURANT IM SURE THEY HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE NOPE NEVER AGAIN VIEJAS!! DID I HEAR SOMEONE SAY BARONA OR SYCUAN?

Professional friendly service for my nephew's 21st birthday celebration with family in a nice, clean, non smoking area. The food was decent overall but my salad had some browning on the stalk, soup should have been hotter than warm and the dessert was the best meal.

James did a amazing job as welll very professional A service to remember the wings were amazing

Had dinner here before a Flo Rida concert on a Friday night. Thankfully we were able to make reservations on Open Table, which was convenient and allowed us to skip the long line of people waiting for tables. Made 6:30pm reservations and the concert started at 8pm, we ate and were in our concert seats right on time. Check in: the check in process was rather confusing. There were two lines. One for people wanting a table (which was a VERY long line). The second line was for Casino Club members, per the sign. It was very crowded around the hostess table so we couldn't figure out where to go to let them know we were there for our reservation. Finally we were able to ask a server and were instructed to stand in the "Casino Club members" line. Unfortunately, several people had cued up in front of us while we were trying to figure out where to go, which added another 5+ minutes to our wait. Once we finally got to the hostess stand we were completely ignored and not acknowledged. She was literally standing in front of us and talking with other employees and the manager. I understand they were busy and trying to sort out tables, but someone could have recognized we were standing in front of them waiting. Finally my boyfriend got her attention and we were eventually escorted to our table. Waitress: Our waitress was awesome. She made great recommendations and made sure we had what we needed. What we had: - I got the soup and salad. What was great is they have a combo you can order so it's a smaller portion, but still huge. I got the cobb salad (delicious) and the Tortilla soup (based off of other's reviews), which I loved. I'd order both again. - My boyfriend got the Pollo Tacos and he'd definitely get them again. He also had the Cesar Salad. - we shared a Caramel budino dessert that was delicious. It was the first time my boyfriend has ever had this dessert and he really liked it. They also had a decent beer list with various size options at a good price. If my entire review were based on the check in process and first impression, I'd give 1 star. Thankfully the waitress and the food made up for the rest of it, elevating our experience to 4 stars.

My sister took me to dinner for my first time at Baron Long. We had a reservation for Saturday January 28,2023 at 4 P.M. As host Christina sat us at a table the manager La Vell walked up to us and told Christina that she has a party of 20 coming in and why did she seat us! We listened as they bickered in front of us. My sister then asked if we should leave. Christina's response was.... "Well how long are you going to be here?" And "Are you going to sit here and drink long?" "The table for 20 is coming at 5 P.M." I then said I do not want to be rushed, can you move us to another table? Christina seemed irritated as she moved us. Bad start for my birthday dinner. The only redeeming factor that night was when the server Patricia stopped by our table to chat and say hello to my sister. Which was nice that she remembered a customer. Patricia was very courteous and friendly! Will I return to your restaurant? Probably not. In closing, the table for 20 never showed up!!

Food and customer service is amazing everyone is very nice the lighting and music is perfect for any date

Ever since Viejas Casino and resort merged the 24-hour Cafe with Long Bar & Grill the wait time has increased but hoping that with the opening of the new grab and go this issue will be resolved. The food was okay but the service lacked, maybe because of staffing issues and the demand for seating. I highly recommend an off menu item, it's the churro ice cream dish. I'm sorry I don't know what it is called but it was delish! Would have taken a picture but it didn't last long enough to make it camera ready.

Recently visited Baron at Viejas. We love Viejas and have been very frequent guests for decades. But this eatery was a failure for us. The place is clean, the service and ambiance were good. However, while the salads were good, and the tacos good, the fried chicken was the worst we had ever had in 60+ years! That it was served at all makes me wonder about the judgment of the cook and the waitress. It was dry, flavorless, and not as good as the green beans served with it. The pieces were also so tiny, shriveled up in fact! Who in the world as a cook would dare serve such "food" in the name of fried chicken? Dry as dust, flavorless. Will not return to Baron ever. Some served food is so bad that it makes you never return to the place for any reason at all. I have rarely had that kind of experience. Viejas management, please quality check that cook for the sake of your business. Viejas deserves far better. I am very sad to give this review of a Viejas establishment. But I love Viejas so much that I have to provide this honest review in hopes that it will be taken seriously by the Viejas management for the purpose of positive change. Thank you for your time. We look forward to visiting the Grove at Viejas which is a far better quality restaurant. I must add a bit of humor to this review in order to reward myself for having been served the worst fried chicken ever by a cook who has poor judgment. NEVER OVERCOOK ANYTHING! You cannot undo overcooked food and it is a sin to waste food. I hope that the cook responsible for having the unmitigated gall of serving overcooked fried chicken never does this again to anyone. If that cook does so, I can only hope that s/he is visited by an entire clan of chickens from a local chicken farm, escape from it, secretly load themselves into a large truck by the hundreds, driven via I-8 to Viejas' wonderful casino by none other than Colonel Sanders himself who has risen from the dead from his resting place in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, unloading themselves from the large truck (leaving the engine on for a quick escape), led by the Colonel waiving his famous cane and smelling of chicken grease, enter the casino lobby past the wonderful guards, through the maze of slot machines and crowds of gamblers amazed at the sight of angry chickens on the march clucking, some in English, others in Spanish, as they hastily make themselves to Baron leaving a trail of loose feathers behind them, perhaps some stopping quickly along the way to visit the spotlessly clean restrooms to freshen up (ladies gotz to look good, after all), all the way to Baron, then to push themselves past the wonderful hostesses, being careful to not lose too many feathers all over the clean floor, quickly to enter the kitchen and find the cook, wherein the chickens jump on the cook by the dozens, taking turns pecking at his/her face and body and as they do the hundreds of other chickens crowd into the Baron kitchen and scream at the guilty cook (some in English, others in Spanish) demanding why s/he utterly wasted the death of some of their dear friends by woefully OVERCOOKING them, effectively rendering them inedible and tasteless. Perhaps at that moment, the Colonel with much frustration steps up to the cook, gently brushes aside some of the chickens atop the cook's face and head, and declares to the cook as the cook is still being abused by other of the chickens: "Step aside you untoward cook, I will show you how to cook fried chicken the right way! Never OVERCOOK chicken!" At that epic moment, the Colonel dons an apron and is assisted by the chickens who also don smaller aprons in frying up the most awesome fried chicken ever... After a long day's work, the colonel and the chickens, being exhausted, drag themselves back into the truck after making themselves back through a grateful cheering crowd, only to find that, the engine being left on for a quick getaway, has run out of gas. But Viejas management, being great at what they do, seize the moment and decide to hire the Colonel and the chickens, and they fry up the best chicken ever, and everyone at Viejas lived happily ever after. And patrons come from all of the globe to enjoy the famous fried chicken at Viejas prepared so perfectly by the well compensated and highly appreciated Colonel and his crew of gorgeous, well-primped lady chickens who live by the motto: "If you are going to kill us, fry us up right!" Then, just while the fried chicken problem was being solved and Viejas patrons were enjoying the tasty fried chicken,...some PETA advocates show up at Viejas and try to ruin the whole thing to most every attending Viejas patron's dissatisfaction.......no respect for a resurrected Colonel back from the dead and now up to his neck in chicken grease, or for the accompanying well-primped lady chickens who courageously and passionately avenged their abused sisters. I hope readers enjoyed this as much as I did. Have a blessed day! Viejas rocks!

Excellent service from Kim, and very good breakfast. Can't remember the name of my dish but excellent.

Becky and I were at Viejas Casino for her birthday and decided on Baron Long Bar and Grill for lunch. It was, for the most part, excellent. Jalapeno Poppers: Here's the thing with Jalapeno Poppers. They s e e m like a good idea. Jalapenos and cheese breaded and deep fried. Right? They get to the table and they are molten lava hot. Hotter than the filling of a Hot Pocket. By the time they are cool enough to eat, they are a congealed ball that you've bathed in ranch dressing. Elote and Crab Dip: This was a delightfully gooey treat served in a little cast iron skillet. Let's face it. Anything served in a cast iron skillet is going to be good. :-) Baron Club Sandwich: Becky said, "This is the best club sandwich that I've ever had". 'Nuff said. Baron Burger: My burger was cooked to an absolute perfect rare. Normally restaurants do not cook a rare burger correctly. It is either raw or medium rare. This one was perfect. Topped with a pile of thinly sliced pastrami, gouda cheese, pepperoncinis and "Baron Sauce" on a brioche bun. Easily in the Top-5 hamburgers I've ever had. The pepperoncinis were a great addition! I'd never seen that on a burger before. Melt the cheese a bit more and it is a Top-3 burger! We most definitely will be back.

I loved the food and service was great Will continue going while at the casino. Wait time wasn't bad at all.

We had the pastrami sandwich on marble on bread with onion rings. It was delicious. Also we had salmon, Caesar salad , wings , and tortilla soup and it was awesome. Got done chili's to go and it was very tasty. Highly recommend especially if your gambling at Viejas casino.

Ate here for the first time recently since they changed over from Locale (which I'm sad to see go because their crab louie toast was amazing!) but the dish I had here was also that-- amazing. The braised short rib entree which was served with mashed potatoes and carrots in a red wine reduction. So delicious and the meat was so tender it pulled apart so easily and literally melted in your mouth. Would def come back again for the same thing. My boyfriend had the deli pastrami sandwich which he liked also! The only negative is that with COVID they are not allowing to go orders or even packing of your leftovers when dining in. So really you are forced to finish your meal or waste food. Every restaurant in the casino is actually doing this currently.

We were pleasantly surprised with how good our food and service was here. Everyone was working hard and everything was very clean. Loved the unique water pitchers! Cameron was a great server and made fantastic suggestions that evening. He was also really fun to chat with. Hope to be back again before we move, but for now- highly recommend!

Met GM Anthony today. Resolved a service issue immediately. Has superior CUSTOMER SERVICE. I will continue to be a loyal customer!

My wife and I had went to viejas to meet up with my mom for dinner and decided to eat here because we didn't want to eat at the buffet and a lot of the other restaurants were closed. The food sounds good on paper my mom ordered wings I ordered short rib quesadilla some Thai brussel sprouts and jalapeno poppers my wife ordered Philly cheesestake with tator tots. The star here was the jalapeno poppers and the brussel sprouts, the sprouts had a good char and were seasoned well the jalapeno poppers were spicy enough and super cheese. After that other then the tater tots cause let's be honest they are not making them from scratch so yea you can't really mess that up. The quesadilla had no flavor and this is the same for the rest of the food except the Phillycheese steak tasted old like the meat had to be used that day it was an off putting flavor and I don't know if they thought the provolone cheese and peppers would bring the show home but they could lnt save that dish at all. The chicken wings were all right I wouldn't go out ofy way to eat here and I would pick the Philly or the quesadilla. The server was great and very attentive but that was about it.

Our server Oscar was phenomenal! He has a kind soul and that comes through in his service. Gave excellent suggestions, was attentive and made us feel welcome and as if he cared about giving us a great experience. Hands down one of the best waiters I've ever come across. Keep being your amazing self Oscar!

Amazing food & ambiance ! Really enjoyed the bread, the dipping butters were delicious too! The sorbet that also comes out to cleanse the palate was great! My first time have these types of course and it didn't disappoint. Wish the waitress was a little nicer but whatever the food was bomb

We haven't been to Viejas in a while. We go on a whim and a friend told me about the Baron. It's around 1 and the place is pretty busy. We order the summertime sangria and viejas margarita to start off with. Both are very good and hit the spot. Both priced at 11 dollars. Ordered the short rib quesadilla and buffalo cauliflower. Also ordered a big piece of cake. I like that they have cheaper pricing for reward members. It was 10 percent. The buffalo cauliflower was decent but could of used the fryer a little bit more. The flavor was good though. The steak quesadilla was really good, wish it had a little more steak though. Cake was really really good! Fresh and very moist. Early reviews talk about the lack or service. Looks like Baron has listened because service was excellent!!! Our server was Maira and she was awesome. Food was 3 1/2 stars out of five. Decent. Service and atmosphere was 5 out of 5 Drinks. 5 out of 5. Value 4 3/4 out of 5. We will be back.

Been here many a times, and service is top notch most of the time. Tonight I decided to try something different and went with the fried chicken as my entree. Yeah, bad decision lol. Chicken was moist and tender but lacked flavor. Like zero flavor. Braised short ribs, filet and the ribs are delicious. If you're looking for appetizers try their Bacon Mac and cheese as well as the wings

Review during Covid Dine in and reservation available Limit to max 6 people per table and can't pack left over food togo. Been here a few times and able to try most of the dishes on the menu. All taste great! That is my go to spot now if i am @ Viejas other than The cafe or Asian spot.

Nice design and decor. I only got the Jalapeno Poppers as I wasn't too hungry so don't have a lot to report on. They were pretty good. Didn't have a bad experience, just don't have a lot to grade on.

Braised short rib the best Nice customer service Angelina and Cameron they helped us both good people thank you guys

The Bar service is horrible. It shouldn't take 15-20 min to order a drink when it's not even crowded. Brittany the bartender has no sense of awareness or cares to help customers. I'm not sure why she is still works there.

Pretty basic bar foods here from burgers, pizzas, salads, and so forth. The sample platter had the perfect amount of appetizers for two people. I especially liked the buffalo wings and quesadillas. You should be able to find an adult beverage on their list that you would like. This may be the #1 option if I dont go to the buffet at Viejas.

Pros: -Yummy "sampler appetizer" !!! Must try can feed between 3-4 ppl -Good menu options Cons: -Food & drinks took forever to come. -My pizza was pretty greasy and very thin... hardly any cheese on it -My mom's pastrami sandwich was cold meat instead of hot ... she didn't like it & she usually loves pastrami. -When you bite into the jalapeño poppers the juice / cheese practically burns your mouth so be careful lol -Waiters don't come around very often A lot of good food options on the menu. Drinks & food both took awhile to come. 10 mins for drinks & 30 mins for the "sampler appetizer" to come out, so they said they would comp us the appetizer for free because of how long it took ( we didn't even ask for it free but that was nice thank you) . Don't come here if you're in a hurry, cause a lot of other reviews also say this place takes forever. But definitely try the sampler appetizer it was yummy !!!!

I brought my fiancé here for a birthday dinner and some family members. The restaurant is very nice from inside and the food is delicious. My favorite was the buffalo cauliflower it has hint of spicy. They have a nice variety of vegan options on the menu and with your viejas v club card you get discounted price on food. The service was great and I will be coming back to try the rest of their menu.
