★★★☆☆ 3.0 C. Wise · May 2025

We decided to try it again after reading reviews that they've done some updates and change things. To us it's still the same my husband got the classic breakfast his was good but as you can see from the picture of the toast is really burned. I got the grilled cheese sandwich added bacon absolutely horrible you could tell from the pictures that the cheese is not melted at all the Bacon's not cooked enough cuz it has all these stringy fat things in it. And what made it worse is these gorgeous looking french fries got placed in front of me that were Stone Cold

★★★★★ 5.0 Herndon Family · Oct 2024

The hot pastrami sandwich had more flavor than any sandwich should have, yet it was amazing! The coleslaw was not as good as we hoped, but the french fries were crispy and delicious. The steak sandwich was tasty. There were too many tomatoes, but that's easily remedied. If I could only order one thing over again, it would be the butternut squash macaroni and cheese! That was phenomenal. We ate at Rita's the day before, and it was not remarkable, but The Cafe is definitely somewhere we would return. The service here was really great; the staff is friendly and communicates well.

Hungry from gambling or being at the pool? This cafe is located inside the Harrahs SoCal resort. They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. You have a lot of choices for you to sit down and enjoy. Prices are a bit expensive, so make sure you sign up for awards card to get a discount or use your casino points. There is no kids menu, but there is plenty of stuff to enjoy. it’s not the greatest food here at the resort, but it will do. The staff is amazing.

[Photo Update] (Positive) 12/25/25 [Photo Update] (Positive) 12/24/25 ***EXPERIENCE 2*** (Neutral) On this visit to the Cafe our server was very pleasant. I ordered a Patty Melt, and my mom ordered a Grilled Cheese. When my mom ordered, she specifically told our server that she wanted the cheese extra melty. I also ordered a Pepsi which the server brought right away, which seemed like a good sign. When the food arrived it looked great. The bread looked like it was grilled perfectly. When I took my first bite I was amazed at the size of the patty, it was extremely thick. Most Patty Melts have thin little patties. This one was not only thick, but it was beefy and meaty, and cooked just right. As good as it was, something seemed off. The meat was so good I didn't even notice the cheese or
