    Eclair was delicious

    Went here for the eclairs and they were Amazing! Service is and always has been great! Give them a try if in Laughlin.

    A good value, as far as hotel food is concerned... we bought an early dinner there on Thanksgiving Day (we don't follow the typical routines). The bagels for the sandwiches were tasty...appropriately dense, chewy, and soft. All the vegetables were cool and crisp, and the staff was attentive. The desserts...OMG. We got the chocolate cake, and a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie...the best I've ever had.

    Food here is decent. Prices a bit high. Service is always slow. If you're in here, consider getting something that is pre-made from the coolers on the left or any of the bagged goodies. They don't give receipts. They don't issue order numbers. Heaven forbid you and someone else have the exact same order because they only call out the items, and its left up to customers to duke it out as to who it actually belongs to. Sandwiches average $9. Wraps average $8. Bottled water is $2.25. Best deals here are the trail mixes & bagged chips.

    This place is next to the pool at the Tropicana Casino. The prices on the food are good to fair going rate. Nothing is cheap or a deal but when your dripping wet getting out of the pool and want something good or decent this is the place for you. They have two girls working there but the are young and very slow. They need to be trained in using the cash register better and they have me a small cake into this box for a sandwich and chips or something. The dinning are is a bit dirty and needs someone to clean better.

    Everything bagel with Nova lox. Sooooo good any time of day!!!!!!!!!

    I really wish this Cafe was open 24 hours a day!!! I really like this little cafe. I stayed at the Tropicana for 4 nights. I stopped into the poolside Cafe at least twice a day. They have wonderful Bagels, salads sandwiches, fresh fruit, coffees, tea, donuts, soft pretzels, plus a plethora of other snacks. Not just pool food. Oh no. This is good stuff. However, the staff isn't very smart. Here are some examples: I asked for hot tea and was told they don't serve hot tea. I explained that I was pretty sure that they serve hot tea because my head was only a foot away from 5 jars with tea bags in them. So I explain that to her. So she stuck her head around the corner and asked, do we sell hot tea? I was flabbergasted. The other example would be when I ordered the bagel with cream cheese and lox and they asked me what else I would like on it I replied onions. When I got it the onions were on the side in a paper bag. Why ask me what I want on it if you're going to put it on the side. They're also lose that * because they don't have capers. You've got to have capers!!! Everyone that works there must be new. If they were all trained better that place would be awesome.

    Quite surprised by freshness great bakers A+++

    Fast, convenient, fresh. Coffees are great, albeit a little expensive compared to Starbucks, but quality was just as good.

    On our last encounter here, things did not go as well as before…read more We were assigned a very grumpy waitress. In my Belly Buster Special both Sunny Side Up Eggs were a little runny, and the Ham Steak was a little tough. Hash Browns, however, were well cooked. Diane liked her Sunrise Breakfast, but noted that her medium-sized Pancakes were thicker than most are. Prices were Breakfast Specials were very inexpensive.

    Could I Give Minus Stars? This is THE WORST restaurant I…read morehave ever been to. Ever. The sad part is: if you can EVER get seated, and EVER get your food, it's actually great. And if what now I was reviewing, was the food I would give it many stars. But what I'm reviewing right now is the abysmal wait time to be seated, and the even worse service or lack of, that you get once you are seated. If you are brave enough to give this abomination a try, good luck to you. You have been warned. My husband and I went to eat at that café on a Friday at 2:30. It was after lunch, before dinner and the restaurant was relatively empty. We walked up and there was one gentleman in line before us. This should be easy, right? After about 10 minutes, the cashier walked over, asked the gentleman how many in his party ....he explained there was one, and she said follow me. A good 15 minutes, went by with us being ignored by every server, and every cashier ....a total of about 7 people ignored us. maybe more. By this time, there's a good 10 people in line behind us waiting to be seated. Now, for some odd reason, a lone woman came along and stood adjacent to the line. we were in ..... along comes a cashier, who I guess decided she was going to be benevolent, and asked the woman how many were in her party, she answered "1", asked us how many were in our party. We answered "2", and proceeded to take us both to be seated. Ignoring the fact that the people behind us had been waiting a good 15 to 20 minutes longer than the lady next to us that just walked up, but , whatever.... There was about 25 tables occupied, and about 10 servers. A good ratio of server to Diners.. They sat the lone woman first, and gave her her menus. Then they sat us next to her at the next table over, and gave us our menus. After about two minutes, a server appeared, took the ladies drink order and disappeared. Very swiftly the server appeared with the woman's beverages, took her food order and walked away. And there my husband and I sat, wondering what sort of thing was happening here. No drink order taken, no food order taken. My husband said we will give this five minutes to see what happens, after 10 minutes we got up and walked out. And I wish I could tell you, that this is unusual. And it was a bad day. And they were short staffed. But it wasn't. The restaurant had plenty of servers to diners, plenty of cashiers. They just do not care. And what this restaurant needs to turn it around, is to fire each, and every person that works there. If I were the general manager, or I was the food and beverage director, I would fire everybody in there from server to cashier. You could probably keep the cooks. I have no idea if they're quick or good or not because I rarely get my food. This needs to be turned around. And Until somebody steps up and puts a stop to this, this terrible, terrible service will be allowed to continue. Because I wish I could tell you this is the first time we have gotten this type of service. Or lack of service. But this same scenario, or something similar to this scenario plays out each and every time we give this ridiculous restaurant a try. There is always some stupid issue, never with the food, but always with the service personnel. My husband and I are epic players, meaning we are the highest level of card holders at this establishment. And so in theory, they should be taking better care of you, but we get the same abysmal service that anyone else does. Go anywhere else, and I mean anywhere and do not waste your time with this ridiculous place.

    We came in to town for a birthday weekend get away , from California. Always enjoy trying a new…read morebreakfast place and we rely on reviews to choose. Coyote Cafe is definitely a LOCALS favorite and certainly didn't disappoint us. The Waffle was so so good. Breakfast potatoes and their hash browns were "Amazing" Portions are healthy in size and delicious. In our group we had, Breakfast burrito , Waffle, Bacon and cheese omelette. The bread that is brought in for the toast and sandwiches is thick and really really GOOD! Get the Sourdough or white bread with your meal. We wanted to buy a loaf to take home, because it was so good. Not a bad thing to say about anything at Coyote Cafe. Customer service was ON POINT and so very friendly. Wish we had more photos. Didn't even take a photo of our food before we devoured it.

    Giving a three star rating only because of the ladies who were working there were great, otherwise…read moreit would be a 1 star rating. I ordered the ground beef patty, over medium eggs and hash browns. Fb patty was cooked right but flavorless and my over medium eggs were cooked over well. Yolks were fully cooked. I love my yolk runny. Husband ordered the sirloin steak medium, as soon as he cut a slice off he noticed a foul smell, I smelled it also (spoiled meat) and it was bad. Plus it was cooked well done. Upon further inspection of the "sirloin steak" we noticed it's actually a ground "sirloin" steak. Looked like my ground beef patty. Luckily hubby never ate a bite of the spoiled ground meat. Thankfully the nice lady there took the bad meal off our bill and apologized. But it's really sad that the servers have to keep apologizing to the customers for the bad food and false advertising of a sirloin steak when it should be the owner taking responsibility for his negligence amongst other things I won't get into. It looked like the cashiers had to apologize to two other customers before us too. NOTE TO OWNER: If you going to serve ground meat than specify on your menu "Ground Sirloin Steak". And make sure it's not going bad. People get sick eating rotten meat.
