    Not sure if we came on a bad day but we went for breakfast on a Sunday, we waited to be seated for 15min and even though it was not busy. Then after getting seated it took about 20 minutes to get our food, we we both had steak and eggs for $9.99 which was a good deal.. My hash browns were cold, but steak was cooked correctly..

    Tucked away near the west side of the casino, right by the entrance to the hotel guest rooms. It's easy to miss if you're not looking, but convenient if you're heading in or out of the hotel. The menu is relatively diverse, spanning Breakfast, Mexican, Asian, and Global cuisines. They also offer an express lunch deal for $20, which includes a starter (Caesar salad or soup of the day), an entrée (choices like cheeseburger with fries, pan-seared salmon, or spaghetti Bolognese), and a dessert (Lily's chocolate chip cookie). We came specifically for the steak and eggs, once advertised at $9.99 but now $14.99--unless you're a player's club member. The steak was under cooked and lacked any real flavor; we had to rely on A1 sauce to salvage it. The build-your-own omelet (bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and chicken) tasted as expected--like basic eggs with the listed ingredients, nothing extraordinary. Overall, don't expect anything to wow you here. Very slow during our visit. There was only one hostess and one server managing the entire diner. It took 10+ minutes for someone to take our order, and about 30 minutes before our food arrived. They seemed overwhelmed, and it was during off hours. Small diner space, seats roughly 30 people. It gets busy fast, and wait times can vary due to limited seating. The area felt cramped and noisy, likely due to the casino foot traffic. While smoking isn't allowed inside the casino, the diner still has a noticeable tobacco smell, which could be off-putting if you're sensitive. If you're in a rush or looking for something affordable and basic, this spot gets the job done. But if you're expecting standout flavors or quick service, you might want to explore other options nearby.

    Inside the commerce casino is this tiny little gem where you can get a delicious steak and eggs breakfast for just $9.99. Comes with two eggs made to order. Hash browns. And toast. The hash browns, eggs and toast are nothing to brag about. The steak itself (I ordered medium well) was actually pretty good. If I had to say so, I'd say better than Norm's and IHOP steak and eggs breakfast. The girls at the diner were amicable and attentive. I could eat this breakfast every single day if I had the time to do so. Will Definitely be back.

    Man I'll be honest, I was really surprised how good the breakfast food was. That breakfast egg with the hash brown and bacon is maybe top 10 I've ever had. The hash browns are light and fluffy but crispy at the same time. Very nice thick cut bacon with a strong smoky apple wood taste, and the whipped butter is creamy. The sour dough toast was a little too over done like burnt but it's fine with the butter, made it soft. For $3 a taco it's expensive because I could go down the street and find a mom n pop taco truck for half the price but it's the convenience. The pork and beef tacos are very good, authentic Mexican street tacos. Generous amounts of meat for sure and thick cut so each bite is a generous bite. Wide open bites with the tangy salsa. You have to ask for the salsa it doesn't come with it so I asked the pick up counter for it. The fries and the chicken shawarma was good but I've had better. Fries were decent, needed salt or maybe a dash of Mediterranean spices on the fries, they were boring but it was crispy. The chicken shawarma, so do not cut it in half like me, I did and when you pick it up, it falls all over the place like falls apart so big chunks of chicken fell on the hotel floor which is a waste, I paid for $1 extra shawarma sauce and $1 ranch sauce, it did not come with it and it needed extra sauce because of how dry the chicken is. The vegetables are the main show because it came with soo many so it's a healthy option to eat. Overall meal was good but next time I'll skip the shawarma.

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate. The ambiance had average loud noise level since it is small on the inside, however they have plenty of outdoor seating which is where we sat. Even though there are other Mediterranean places close to me, I can see myself going to this location because of their expansive menu.

If you can get…read morehere without a car, or have someone possibly keep driving around the block until you pick up your food, would be the play. The parking is a premium with them sharing a lot with other businesses. If you do decide to eat here, it's a small place, two tables at most. With all that our of the way, even on my first visit to this restaurant, the gentleman behind the counter treated me like I was a regular. That made a huge impression on me. No nonsense at all. I had to order the oxtail because I saw good meaty (thick) they were compared to a lot of places I've had oxtail from. The sides I chose were corn and Greenpeace. They were generous with the portions and I was grinning from ear to ear. I had to tell the gentleman behind the counter how I appreciate that his oxtail axial had a nice amount of meat and not mostly bone. He told me he butchers it himself and makes sure his customers are treated right. Just writing this made my mouth water and I really should make another trip back.

    I technically didn't go pick up my food as I ordered online and my niece picked it up…read more But she did not complain That parking was annoying. So you order online and they send you an email and a text which is very convenient. As you can see from the pictures the hot food is ready to be served. Kind of like fast food Chinese food takeout I ordered fried catfish nuggets, the mixture of cabbage and greens, dressing aka stuffing & Black Eyed Peas. And my niece ordered a pineapple drink Which she loved. The complimentary cornbread could've used a lot more seasoning. But my food was yummy. The catfish was soft and I could taste the mealiness grit of the cornmeal. The Black Eyed Peas were flavorful as were the greens. The dressing aka stuffing was forgettable but I'm a Stovetop fan tbh. I am going to return to try their liver, but I think that's made only once a week. The price was average. I actually called over the phone maybe three times to ask questions and the staff was extremely professional and polite. Sidenote each call the phone was ringing a lot which tells me they were busy. will recommend for sure !
