Love their burgers and liver and onions platter. Those are my favorites and please don't change them.

Treesh our server is great he very nice and very attentive so friendly. Got our orders in very fast and got our food out in decent time. Food was well cooked sides were yummy I like the potato cheesesy soup not much of the tomato soup base. My steak was well seasoned and cooked... Ambiance very smoky from the casino. But the food and service is worth it even with long wait. read more

Surprisingly solid eats at a small local casino? Count me in! Emerald Island Grille, an Irish-themed spot with American food, is the 24/7 restaurant of Emerald Island Casino in Downtown Henderson. It piqued my interest that they take coupons from the casino which you can earn by signing up for their players' club. Upon gambling enough to earn their welcome gift, which was a bunch of coupons, I picked up a same-day voucher at their players' card desk and redeemed it for the Breakfast Skillet (listed at $9.99). With home fries-style potatoes, a scrambled/omelet-like egg canopy, melted cheese, bacon bits, and diced onions and green peppers, this is a really hearty breakfast. Just dig in and keep going until you're either done or feel like maybe you need to save half as leftovers. My choice of side with that breakfast was the biscuits and gravy, and it wasn't the best. The gravy came out a bit lukewarm and the whole thing was a little undersalted somehow, and the portion is smaller than you'd think for a cheap dish. I tried the toast instead on a separate visit, and it was not as mediocre. Oh, and the wedge of watermelon was fine. The casino started mailing coupons to me for free select entrees on specific calendar weeks. This week, they had a Blackened Fresh North Atlantic Salmon Asian Salad (inexplicably priced at $7.00). The protein was a very nicely cooked salmon filet with a decent level of blackening. The bed of mixed greens was fresh, the sweet citrus-y dressing was good, and the tiny mandarin supremes were a fun pop of flavor. If they'd offered maybe some sort of baguette slices instead of just crispy wontons, it could've been a more complete entree. I still liked it though. As with restaurants at other nearby casinos, checks are provided at the table but settled at the cash register near the exit. If you have a player's card here and gamble, you can earn some sort of points which you can use as payment. Waitlist is on paper and is overseen by a separate employee around that area; I've had waits ranging from 0 to 30 minutes. I'll likely be back to Emerald Island Grille regularly as long as they have food promos, or maybe even for their specials of the day if anything sounds interesting. It's affordable and convenient enough as a local option for folks on this side of town. read more

The drinks server and busser JORGE shines head and shoulders over the other employees.

Delicious food and reasonable prices on top dishes, but very busy and high turnover of diners really keeps wait staff running.

Okay , I'm back , I tell it like I see it . I ordered the TBone steak , it was damn good ! Perfectly cooked , good vegetables. The salad was very good! A good meal , thank EIG! Work on the Fish and chips please! FYI, the Fettuccini Alfredo sucked , no flavor I thought she said vegetables in the fettuccini, the asparagus was a nice touch if the sauce would have had flavor, yo Chef Bumpkiss , add some salted butter , add some green onions, a little sour cream goes a long way duffus! Yes I saw what looked like Parmesan cheese , still it had no flavor ! Wtf , where's the pepper? read more

This isn't better than Outback or Black Angus, but it's much better than the South Pointe Casino deal. Considering the cost and what you get, it's not bad at all. I ordered the steak and lobster with mashed potatoes, and another with fries (the fries were excellent). The food was cooked well and tasted amazing for the price point. The shrimp cocktail exceeded my expectations--thumbs up! The house salad was below average, so I exchanged it for soup. The soup was decent, though my kid loved the salad more than I did. LOL. Overall, it's a great deal! For $24.99, you get steak & lobster, an appetizer (shrimp cocktail), and soup or salad--amazing value! One of the best deals in town! read more

We wanted to try this place since it's close to the ice rink. Food was reasonably priced. They had a lot of awesome specials but they started at 11pm and we got there at 10pm. We really liked the garlic bread basket with the marinara sauce. I got the sampler and it was good. The onion rings had a bit too much breading for me though. I got my wings with no sauce and they were yummy. The service was excellent and they kept coming back to check on us. So yes, we got plenty of refills on coffee. read more

We had some time to kill after finishing some errands so we decided to stop in for a quick breakfast since it's right around the corner from our home. We were expecting a diner menu, and were seated pretty quickly after we checked in. The restaurant is actually super spacious, there are two split areas for seating. The only thing I noticed was the tables, booths and 1/2 booths are extremely close to each other so there isn't much privacy. We ordered the The feast, coffee and soda The service, food and the ambiance was honestly subpar. The food didn't taste hot, or fresh, the bacon was burnt at the ends, we didn't get much service after receiving our food, so we had to flag anyone down for refills. Also, they give you a slice of watermelon with your food. I mean it's a great deal, but I'm picky over certain things, it's placed right on top of your food. It weirds me out when food does that! The entire food was an assembly, kitchen style feel, and I will not be back. Maybe their lunch or dinner options are better, or if you're hungover the breakfast will get you through. However, if you're looking for taste and a fresh breakfast, I do not think this will satisfy that read more

Long time resident of Las Vegas but had never been to the Emerald Island before. CROWDED is an under statement. Twenty minute wait for a table. Everyone cordial and friendly. Server: Elizabeth. Amazing! Low cost of prime rib dinners. Clam chowder excellent. Shrimp appetizer too. Steak so large, took half home. Not related to restaurant but won money on video poker machine while we were waiting for table. Food and service so good that I plan on going there soon. read more

Very nice! You have to walk through a smokey Casino to get to the restaurant (which is a negative). The restaurant is open to the casino (no door blocking the smoke from the restaurant); however, we sat in the back and it was VERY nice (no notible smoke). The prices are GREAT! And the breakfast was really good. It tasted better than it looked. If you are looking for presentation this isn't the place for you. If you are looking for good food at a decent price you should give it a try. read more

I've been here a few times now, and the food hasn't disappointed me yet. I always get some sort of steak just because the price is totally worth it. My husband tends to get something on their daily specials. This day, we also got coconut shrimp for an appetizer, which was good. The only complaint I do have every time I come to eat here is that some of the hosts in the front aren't very nice. Some make me feel like I'm bothering them when I'm asking a question. The servers do make up for the hosts attitudes. The servers that I've had were very respectful and helpful and a lot more cheerful than the hosts. The restaurant is a bit tight, but if you don't mind that this place is definitely a go-to. I will always go back here whenever we go to that side of the town. read more

So...craving some good cafe food with coupon in hand, we traveled to Henderson for lunch. Upon arrival, we found out that Tuesdays are half off for seniors 55 and up and military..so we did not need the coupon after all. Just sign up for the players club and then they will give you a voucher for half off a meal..up to 7 dollars, so you can pick something 14 dollars and below and get half off....well that is most of the whole menu..so SCORE! I ordered the Cobb salad that was HUGE..I could only eat half. Hub ordered the open face Turkey sandwich..loved it! This is an old school establishment, but super cool ...and the prices will make your mouth drop.... Both our meals were under 12 dollars for both because of the coupons.....unreal!!! read more

Missing out on business not taking phone orders, would be awesome to order and pick it up versus coming in and waiting

Great food and great value. The Friday special is really good. The service is sometimes slow but normally worth the wait.

This place is located right inside the Emerald Island Casino. The food is very good, the prices are very reasonable and I found the service to be friendly and attentive. The only negative is that the restaurant is somewhat small and cramped and it can be noisy. It also gets very busy here, so you might have to wait for a table. I did have to wait for a few minutes the time I was there and then got seated at a small table in a crowded area. They have a number of daily specials and it looks like everything there is quite tasty. For the money you really can't beat it if you are willing to deal with these issues. read more

We've been to the casino before but this was our first time trying the Island Grill. The area to get into the restaurant to get your name on the list for a table is a bit tight and not real clear when you have people waiting to be taken to a table and those waiting to get on list for table. We waiting 20-25 minutes, not bad. We placed our order with a very nice waitress. The noise level in the restaurant is loud, we could hear what the guy on the other side was getting at the grocery store. Our food came out in a good amount of time. The soup was pretty good, my wife has the filet and I had the ribs. Both were very good. We've read some reviews and to me most reviewed this like they were at some elegant restaurant, it has a diner vibe but the food is better than a diner. Check it out. read more

One of our favorite places to eat. Very few things on the menu we have had and didn't enjoy. We both strayed from our normal meals and were not disappointed. I had the filet tips and egg breakfast. The meat was left over from yesterday's steak meals I'm sure but it was still tasty. He had the brunch burger. Service was top notch as always. Servers are hostesses are always so friendly even when they are busy. The decor is unique and it's our fav hole in the wall place. read more

Honestly, the food was better than expected. We had received a free burger combo for joining Club Jewel. Hubs was going to pass but I was like "hey, free is free!" The restaurant is larger than it looks; there are two rooms. We were seated in the inner room, which was a good thing because even from the inner room, the smoke from the casino was pretty prevalent. Hubs ordered the bbq smoked beef ribs and I ordered the burger combo (of course!) His order came with a side salad and I was surprised that it was mixed greens instead of just iceberg. My burger was cooked a perfect medium with oozy cheddar cheese and the fries were nice and crispy. The combo came with a free drink, too! Hubs enjoyed the ribs and said the side of beans was tasty. Our service was friendly. Emerald Island Grill is not fancy and we thought the food was good bang for your buck. However, the cigarette smoke is difficult to deal with. The casino is very smoky and we thought the restaurant would provide a respite from it. Even though we were in the back room, it was still pretty bad. If the ventilation was better, we'd go back. read more

Normally, I love this place, but I was walking in today and there was a cook that fell on the floor because they don't have the proper mats down!!! This place makes bank they need to spend the money for proper mats in the back of the house in the kitchen. It's very important and this employee was scared that he was gonna lose his job. He's like I just gotta walk it off and get back in there. I just gotta walk it off and get back in there. Yeah I can't lose my job he says. and then I asked another employee about the mats in the back and then employee says yeah the mats suck. Oh my goodness. And the Manager lady of the back of the house with the bun older lady she's really cranky. I think she needs to retire because I don't like think that she loves her job anymore... I heard her on the CB thing talking shit about the guy. I just saw out front that fell in the back of the house and she's the manager of the back of the house. wow another employee at the restaurant tells me the maths in the back of the house are very slippery. Even if you have nonslip shoes on it's very slippery and a lady fell not too long ago in the back of the house. i've been here for a total of four minutes and now this is for employees. I've told me about the mats in the back that how slippery they are and how they need to be replaced.!!! I feel like crying. It breaks my heart because I kinda like this little casino, but not if they treat their employees like this!!! Nowadays it's hard to find people even to show up for work. The employees that you do have you need to take care of them!!! I'm biting my tongue not to mention what happened two weeks ago when I was here :-( read more

I have been curious about Emerald Island, but never made the time or effort to go visit. We heard about their great food, especially breakfast, so we decided that we had to try today! As we arrived, we were expecting a "rinky dink hole in the wall" place, but it's hidden jewel! Pulling in to park, there was already a lot of cars. Found a space and went in. The place is small, but very nice and the machines here are very up to date! We came for breakfast, and the restaurant, Emerald Island Grill, was pumping! Got us on the wait list, waited 5 minutes and we were seated! They have a large menu, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, 24 hours a day. We took our time going through the menu, and eventually ordered the steak and eggs (9.99) and the Breakfast Feast (10.49). Very inexpensive for the amount of food they serve! Pictures attached! In short, very reasonable prices, large amount of food and great service. read more

Been coming here long before they added on to the restaurant. Food is usually good and portions large. Have bought some pieces of cake but were old and dry, so I quit doing that. BBQ night is amazing. I usually have to eat dinner late and service in the late evenings (after 8 or 9pm) is consistently friendly but bad. Slow to take order, slow to get food, slow to get refill, and slow to get check. Service during regular hours is always good. read more

If you're looking for a truly "Old Vegas" style coffee shop, this is the place. How I never ate here before now is a travesty, especially as a Vegas local who loves a good deal. This place was crowded with older folks and locals looking to get their bellies full for a low price, and it did the trick. There are daily specials, so be sure to ask. The regular menu is extensive and priced more than reasonably. You can get things like a $9.99 burger, fries and drink special every day, and the daily specials were fairly priced too ($13 pot roast dinner, $15 shrimp fajitas). The atmosphere is very old school and comfortable, with friendly and efficient servers. Our waitress was over 60 and looked like a career Vegas server, the kind that wears super comfy shoes, has a pencil tucked behind her ear, and calls you "honey" and "sweetie." Absolutely phenomenal service, and it added to the overall vibe of the place. We started with a chicken quesadilla, which was better than I expected. For just $8.99 (!) it was large enough to share and was stuffed with chicken breast , onions, peppers, and cheese. It was really tasty, sort of like a melty fajita. I wouldn't get an appetizer again, because the dinner portion sizes were massive. I'm a big eater, and this was a mountain of food. I ordered the lasagna dinner ($10.99). It came with two large slices of garlic bread (over-toasted and a little burned, which was a bummer) and was loaded with cheese. The lasagna was homemade, and it had those crazy delicious crispy edges that had baked in the pan. I saved those for last, and it was perfection. Really, really delicious. My friend had the 12" pastrami sandwich with fries ($12.99) and added a dinner salad ($1.99). The sandwich he was served was MASSIVE, piled high with meat. He went crazy for it and said he can't wait to come back. The fries were (surprisingly) quite sad and not even worth eating. You'd think an old school diner would have killer fries, but these were nothing special. The salad was such a cheap addition that I'll probably get one next time. It had artisan style lettuce (not just boring iceberg), a few cherry tomatoes, and croutons. Simple and to the point, but fresh and tasty. Sodas ($1.99) are cheap and they offer free refills! This is far from a fancy establishment, and I get the feeling that it gets very crowded during popular senior citizen mealtimes (I would avoid 4-6 pm, peak Early Bird hour)! We dined at 7:30 on a Tuesday night and got seated immediately. Don't let the location turn you off, or you'll be missing a good, solid, Vegas diner. This place is now on my regular dining rotation! read more

First I'd like to say the staff and service is EXCELLENT! Loved the charming atmosphere. BUT the food lately has been below par. Yes, it's super affordable but I guess you get what you pay for. Then there's the ANNOUNCEMENTS for open tables. REALLY! do they need to announce over the casino speaker system which is SUPER LOUD, "Bill your table is ready in the Emerald Grill. Bill your table is ready in the Emerald Grill. Thank you". Too many words people! There is only one place to eat. I don't think anyone would be confused as to where to go when they hear their name called. And they always say it twice. It's even worse when there are multiple parting who's tables are being called. And the, "Thank you" at the end is also unnecessary. Those announcements were SO LOUD and annoying that we left. read more

Another great find. Really tasty food at old Vegas prices. Always heard about this place and finally got a chance to get out here. We heard it was popular so we decided on an early dinner. Even though it was only 5:30 on a Wednesday night, the casino parking lot was full and there was already a 30 minute wait list for two. It happened to be BBQ night so we ordered the three meat combo and also the lasagna which we heard was very popular. The portions were large and the food was delicious! The brisket was so tender and flavorful, one of the best I've had in a long time. The pork ribs were also very tasty and fell right off the bone. The chicken was also very good, but a tad drier than I prefer. They give you BBQ sauce, but you don't really need it. Mac n cheese side was super creamy and delicious. The lasagna was huge and they don't skimp on their delicious sauce. The wait staff was also super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu! read more
