    Fried fish platter
    Jennifer J.

    Great restaurant! Super nice staff. Excellent menu. Clean bathrooms & restaurant. The fried fish was lovely, light & crisp. Loved the sweet potato waffle fries. Corn nuggets are pretty good. Cream corn is decent. Thanks for a great meal!

    Great food & great service! Hidden spot that's worth checking out! I would try the dessert!

    Delicious chicken livers, fries with a cat head biscuits!

    Service was very good, Chicken livers were cook perfectly, not dry and overdone like most places. Sides were very good also. It's just a little hole in the wall restaurant serving up excellent home cooking

    Very good service. Average food. Good, wholesome, salt of the earth kind of breakfast. We came here exactly when they opened and they were prompt. Our server was very nice and I really hope he gets to realize his dream of working in SpaceX at some point in his life. My everything bagel sandwich was very good. The hash brown was a little oily. The French toast was pretty good too. The all-american breakfast was decent but the portion felt small. Pricing was ok. Lots of parking outside.

    Omelette

    Alright breakfast! Nothing too special but still good! I was pleasantly surprised! We always eat at Cupboard Cafe for breakfast in Clayton but decided to branch out and try something new. Sadly our server was very odd but he was trying. I had the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich on an everything bagel, which also comes with avocado. The sandwich was great and tasted very fresh but I would probably get it without avocado next time. The breakfast potatoes were alright but not what I'm used to. They were hard to eat because they were kind of just a mess of soggy potatoes. Overall, I enjoyed Sunday Cafe, though, but Cupboard Cafe still reigns as the best breakfast in Clayton.

    I had the Brisket dip. It was amazing. I only have a pic of the cookie   because I ate it all!

    The brisket was amazing. I got the brisket dip. Yadi got the pulled pirk sandwich The food dog on the cookie is okay

    Avocado Omelette

    Solid country meal. My omelette was excellent. The pancakes are massive - I'd definitely recommend the extras in them, and know that you will take them home or waste a lot (which they feed to chickens!). Short wait but worth it overall. Nice people.

    Country fried steak and eggs over easy.

    Hi! Looking for a place to make reservations for a group of 8 during Thanksgiving week? Will you be open, have indoor seating and take reservations? We will be staying in Waterfall. Thanks!?

    Hi! We will be open every day. You did not specify the date or time of your visit so I can't confirm the hours. We do not take reservations as we are a small place but usually don't have long wait times. We currently have indoor and outdoor seating.…

    Three stars pertain ONLY TO THE HOTEL part of our trip…read more Will we ever return to the philosophy that the customer makes everything possible? The hotel staff I encountered from the front desk to the valet exuded the feeling that I was there to serve them not vice versa. I asked for housekeeping to clean bathroom and let fresh towels and the front desk clerk told me to phone them from my room. I returned to my room (which was 700 steps away) and picked up the receiver on the 1980's style desk phone and punched the housekeeping button. I remained tethered to that 24" cord (no base speaker) for 30' and was then disconnected. I went back down and talked to a very nice young lady at the valet desk. She listened and then went to get me a housekeeping manager. Five minutes later the manager arrived and after hearing my requests, advised that the phone does not connect the dialer to housekeeping...it just rings and rings until it times out. This is not how I managed my business over my 50 year career. Now...the rest of the grounds including the casino were WONDERFUL and a treat to be there. We loved it. Just unfortunate for the one item described above. If you are going there, and, you need Housekeeping, ask to talk to them while standing at the front desk. Remember to tell them your needs and for how many days you want these needs to be addressed. You must not assume.

    Disclaimer: I was here for work. I was not here to gamble, although I did play some games. As I'm…read morenot a gambler, I don't have a strong frame of reference here to judge the casino. I thought the environment was fine. However, I do have opinions about food and hospitality. Overall, I thought that Harrah's was alright. The food was good (Although the market was overpriced), but the hotel room left a lot to be desired. I'm going to bring up the conference food as part of this evaluation, and I was overall, very happy with every meal I had while there. Zero complaints. Good quality, flavorful, good variety. If you're booking an event, the in house team at Harrah's does good work. My hotel room was on the west tower and felt a bit run down. It was quite warm when I came in, although turning the AC on full blast rectified that issue. What I couldn't rectify was the rubber seal on the desk falling off, and two handles on the chest of drawers having been removed by someone else. It just felt like there was a lack of attention to detail. More annoyingly, for a 3 night stay, at no point was my room ever cleaned or the bed ever made. I'm not saying it needs to be cleaned from top to bottom, but I'm very certain that no staff members were ever in my room during my stay. If they only clean the room on request, why bother having do not disturb signs? I had dinner twice, and breakfast once at Gordon Ramsay's market. I thought the items there were fine, but very overpriced. 4 dollars for a Chobani Yogurt that you'd pay 1.39 for normally, for instance. And that's before Tribal fees. My meals were pretty good though. Pizza, and fish and chips. Overall, this isn't a bad place to stay, and as someone who doesn't spend a lot of time gambling, the casino floor had a certain charm to it. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but if you don't mind a subpar hotel room, the rest of the stay will be perfectly nice.
