Food quality an service / Binions cafe

Have been coming to town for years an an really disappointed this trip.

Went into eat at Binions last night at the cafe an the food an service were terrible. 3 out of 4 orders only had a few bites taken out of them an weren't eaten. Country fried steak was the chewiest chunk of meat I've seen, Fish an chips honestly wasn't as good as frozen Mrs Paul's , an the hangover burger had to be a frozen freezer burnt burger......after waiting 40 minutes an the place was only 1/3 full. After talking to cashier , and I think a manger all we got was "Sorry". 
I don't expect perfection in this case but at least care enough about your business an customers to try an do things right.......

I've given up on that place. Magnolia's at the Four Queens is better, but dear God, their prices have zoomed skyward. Quite frankly, downtown has become a food desert. While there are still some decent places to eat, the prices there are Strip-style insane.

 

That's why when I'm visiting Vegas, I eat all my meals at Emerald Island or Rainbow.

 

BTW that place upstairs at Binions, I forget the name, is pretty good.

I have had great meals at Top of Binions Steak.Magnolia,s as well.I agree with Kevin Rainbow is worth the drive.Steaks I usually share with my son.Most steaks in Las Vegas are 16 oz or more.

Thanks for letting us know Jeff.  We have only been going there for breakfast the last seveal years, and has been decent.  But there seems to be some turnover there and it has not been that good


The cafe at Binions used to be good many years ago but seemed to go way downhill when they moved it (maybe around 2015 or so?).  Everything is low-end frozen crap now.  Whiskey Licker Up is even worse.  Benny must be turning over in his grave.

I ate at Binions Cafe last weekend and was happy with their Food, Service, Price, etc.

3-Egg Omlette with HashBrowns and Toast was $16.

(2 Choices ... try Ham & Bacon)

They accepted BOGO LVA coupon ... and gave me 50% off.

 

 

Pulled Pork Sandwich special for $7.77 comes with French Fries and 20 oz Soda.

They let me switch Fries for ColeSlaw because I wanted to eat some veggies.

Ask for the BBQ sauce on the side (instead on on top ... too much for me).

 

Not smoky in there, plus I won on the Slot Machines 

 

 

Normally two trips per year, breakfast or lunch. Have always had good service and no complaints about the food, looking forward to next trip.

I miss the hobo stew

Market Street  cafe at the Cal is the only downtown casino diner  I go to anymore.    

 

Honestly its getting to the point where I go downtown for the matchplay hit-n-runs and not much else.
