    Been wanting to try this place for a while and we finally did today. We shared the chicken fried steak and eggs. It's a ridiculously large amount of food. A huge ribeye steak cooked to perfection with delicious gravy, hashbrowns, three eggs and toast. We shared and we could not finish it. Can't wait to have our leftover chicken fried steak with breakfast tomorrow. So lots of orders coming out and they all look delicious too. We ate at the counter. Service was good.

    We heard so much about Sky River The Breakfast Corner that we decided to stop in for Breakfast. We both ordered the Denver Omelette (2) that came with hash brown and were happy that we did. The Omelettes were huge and stuffed with veggies and ham. We will be back.

    Now normally, in my experience, casino food is always mediocre. Food to just help you get energy and go back out there and hit that unbelievable jackpot. NOT HERE! This casino offers not only genuinely decent lounging and esthetics to the building, but they didn't even hold back even a little bit on their food. They have some amazing chefs that cook your food to perfection. Seasoned perfectly and with abundance too. I've had many and I mean MANY dining experiences and this breakfast counter is by far the best. It's a very small menu, but with a small menu, they can really lock it in with each plates seasoning and detail. Job well done! (Steaks medium rare please! :D)

    Chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and buttered sourdough toast.

    I had a hankering for chicken fried steak in the evening and decided to give The Breakfast Counter a try. They're located in The Market section of restaurants inside Sky River Casino. Parking can be challenging at times due to the busy nature of the casino. There was no line and I ordered the chicken fried steak, a side of gravy, and a fountain drink. It comes with your choice of toast and I chose sourdough. They use ribeye steaks for their chicken fried steaks. They serve Pepsi fountain drinks. I sat at the counter and my order came out a short time later. The chicken fried steak had a nice crunch to it which I like. It was a bit bland and there were a few pink spots that might bother some folks. The hashbrowns were a little cold. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. The toast was perfectly toasted and had a generous amount of butter which I like. The portion was huge and I didn't eat about a quarter of it after gorging myself. I think this would have been a much better meal if the steak batter was seasoned with some herbs and spices. The person who took my order was pleasant enough but the person who took over for him didn't engage with me at all and just stood at the counter staring into space and conversing with coworkers. Better customer service similar to a diner would likely result in better customer retention. I might give them another try in the future but I'm not rushing back.

    Breakfast is served. NY strip and eggs; chicken fried steak (gravy on side), with over med eggs.

    Arrived with no expectations bc this is a 24-hr walk up breakfast food counter. Being my birthday, I was in the mood for a good chicken fried steak, and the reviews brought me here. Service was efficient and friendly. They take your name when you place order, so just find a seat until your name is called. It's located inside the Sky River Casino, so expect CASUAL. After a short wait we picked up our food. Order was nicely presented/plated and I was happily surprised by the portion size. Hubs and I ended up swapping proteins bc there was no way I'd be able to finish! I asked for gravy to be served on the side due to countless times gravy has disappointed me in the past, so I decided on a contingency plan. Turned out the gravy was actually good; just needed a few shakes of pepper. My chicken fried steak was huge and crispy! my over medium eggs were cooked perfectly , as were hubs over easy eggs. Our butterey sourdough was perfectly toasted and evenly buttered hashbrowns were well cooked, altho a little more crisped would have been spot-on. All said, I was delightfully surprised at how much I enjoyed my breakfast, and yes, I will come back when I'm craving a nice hearty breakfast.

    Chicken friend steak, ultimate southern comfort.

    I was sad to see the hot chicken place replaced with The Breakfast Counter, but once I had a chance to try it a few times, I'm pleased we have this option when visiting Sky River. The chicken fried steak combo is not cheap but with a $5 discount for Zone 50 it provides a big portion for a reasonable price. The chicken fried steak was very good and sizable, and smothered in rich gravy. Plenty of hash browns and they make it crispy the way I like it. They slather the butter on the toast which is decadent but I like. Finally the eggs were made perfectly as I requested. I also had the steak and eggs recently and although the steak was pretty small, it was cooked perfectly when I asked for medium rare. The hash browns, eggs, and toast were just as good as with the chicken friend steak plate. The steak was also well seasoned and seared, and was tasty without any added seasonings or sauces. Finally I've tried the (Count of) Monte Cristo sandwitch, and while it was decent, I felt like it was something I could make fairly easily at home. I love the concept of breakfast served at all hours, rise and shine!

    The Breakfast Counter, inside The Sky River Casino, 1 Sky River Pkwy, Elk Grove, CA 95757, opened up around February of 2024 and offered something no other restaurant at the casino provided. 24 Hour breakfast AND it is great! Located in the food court area, there is a counter, but you can sit anywhere in the court. The ambience is adult only, as you have to be 21 to enter the casino. You place your order with the cashier from the menu, which has a large selection of breakfast items. I had steak and eggs with hash browns, toast and shared an omelet, biscuits and gravy, and a pancake. Everything was cooked to perfection by the chef using quality ingredients. Even the coffee was very good. The cashier was really polite, nice, attentive and checked on me often. I was really pleased with the experience and will definitely visit again.

    Good food. Good staff. The best part is the chef special. It comes out perfect everytime

    Had the Jackpot for breakfast it included well portioned crispy hash browns, 3 eggs a patty and some tasty fluffy pancakes enough for 1 hangry or suitable to share for two. Ate at their bar which was very welcoming and had nice decor. Service was a bit slow for it not being busy but overall it was a good experience.

    Wow! Saw this place on tv and the dishes they presented looked amazing. The camera did not embellish as they really do look this good in person too. Quality is perfect. I haven't had this good of a gravy in forever! It has seasoning and is just the right amount of thickness. Not gloppy at all. Don't just win at the table, win at The Breakfast Counter too!

PROS: Service was friendly, we told them we were excited to try this place for the first time and they explained how everything was put together. The establishment is clean and has a seating area for dine in. The meats were juicy and tender, not dry like I've had at other places. The rice was seasoned well. The salad added a great way to cut through the meats and rice. Everything was delicious and we will definitely return with some changes in HOW we order. (Less sauce and crispier fries). Advice we received from one of the men working there... the bowls will get you stuffed and the gyros will be perfect. He was so right, however, I did order a lot. Mixed platter & chicken platter: 9/10 needs less sauce (but this is my opinion) in the future I'll order sauce on the side. Loaded fries: 6/10 everything was good, the fries just were supposed to be the main attraction and they weren't. I will order this again though, and ask for the fries to be double fried extra crispy Mixed Gyro: 9/10 everything was perfect.

The people here have honestly been some of the nicest people I've met. When I say this "Sandwich Spot" is the best, well I've been to a few in town and they all kind of miss the mark, but this one doesn't. The bomb sauce is a must and they don't skimp at this location. My two favorite sandwiches are "The Pride" and "The JFK" with bomb sauce on Dutch Crunch. The inside is meaty, saucy and has the right amount of greens. It's been my go to since 2018/2019 for sandwiches if I can catch them when they are opened. Prices haven't really inflated which is nice to see and the inside although small is cozy. Traffic in old town gets pretty bad so the best way to get here is usually from Elk Grove Florin Road the making a left onto Elk Grove Blvd and it'll be on the right side. If you come in from the other direction you may be stuck in the median for a while. The only real downside is the hours during the weekday, so it's best to go during the weekend or if you live close by, visit during lunch during the weekday.

Anyways, the first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean the place was while still being inviting. Some places end up feeling extremely sterile when they're on top of cleanliness, but this place struck an even balance. What may have also contributed to this is how friendly the staff comes off right when you walk in. I ordered a Jersey Shore's favorite sub at the behest of my boss with all the things (I could've gone off script, but I wanted to make sure my experience was exactly what he wanted me to get). I also got a giant size since I usually put down a footlong. Now that I'm on the other side of the whole experience, I wouldn't recommend eating the whole thing in one sitting. If you're with someone who has similar tastes as you, split it with them. I will be enough. They don't skimp on the freshly sliced meat, and the veggies, while there isn't as much variety as I'm used to, are very fresh. There's a "juice" you get when you order something Mike's way, which is an eponymous way of saying everything on it. I'm not 100% sure what makes up the juice, but it brought about a nice flavor, which was probably more prominent because I decided not to get any mayo or mustard. I think the place is decently priced considering how much they give, and I'm keen on trying their chicken Philly next time I come in. However, this experience on its own wasn't enough to really convince me that I should prioritize this place over other sandwich spots.
