We have gone there for years to eat, and always loved it. But they have cut their menu down to nothing. And I mean nothing! I know they are trying to do their best amid problems with less staff. But this is just crazy.

Service suffers at times but the food is usually above par.

The Grille is your standard coffee shop turned stylish as Gold Dust West casino strives to present its only restaurant as being upscale. After-all when you hear it's name “The Grille”, do you honestly think of a coffee shop? I certainly don't. But I am digressing, you want to know about the food.

Most times I have eaten here it has been for breakfast with the occasional dinner. This particular review focuses on their breakfast items. My personal favorite is their pancakes eggs & choice of meat (ham bacon or sausage). I recommend their ham as it is usually grilled enough so you get that charred taste that makes meat so delicious. Their thick cut bacon is also a good choice as it meets expectation and is both meaty and flavorful. If you arrive at an odd time of day, you can still get breakfast items as they are served 24 hours a day, but I suggest that you keep clear of the pancakes outside of normal breakfast hours. If you are determined to have a hearty breakfast let's say at 3pm I suggest their NY steak and eggs.

Having been to the Grille many times over the years, I have experienced top notch service to, wait till your old and gray service. It's a potluck to be honest. You never know what to expect for service, but overall the service is acceptable. With a moderate turnover in wait staff, it is hard to find that personalized service you can expect when you request your favorite server.

It pays to have Gold Dust West's their gold rewards club cards at one of the two highest levels as these members receive priority seating at The Grille and substantial discounts for the food and drink.

The parking is relatively easy for casino dining with not that far to walk through the casino to find the restaurant. Many casino's make you walk through the casino to get to the restaurant, since they want you to gamble. After all it is a casino with a restaurant attached. It was a shame when they permanently closed the doors that allowed patrons to directly access the restaurant from the parking lot.

I should note that their website has two menu's listed on their website, but oddly enough the breakfast/lunch menu is completely devoid of breakfast items. A bit of an oversight, and bothersome for those of us that like to view the menu before deciding to eat at a particular restaurant.
