    They recently renovated this place since it seems like most of the bad reviews were before 2022. I like the new interior look and the food was pretty appetizing. If you're planning to get a plate of food from the snack bar, I'd suggest just going here since their menu has more food choices and the pricing is almost identical. I would definitely come back and try their prime rib and entrees.

    I've been meaning to do this for a long time. This was from The Broiler at San Pablo Lytton Casino last night. When I got here, it was packed on the Casino floor. I didn't expect it to look like that inside, it's posh, slightly elegant, and I really like the high ceilings in here. There's nothing more All-American than a Cheeseburger. I went with the Casino Cheeseburger with a medium cooked Classic Angus Beef patty, all the fixings, Swiss Cheese, I added an Avacado, and French Fries. This Cheeseburger reminds me of a Steakhouse Cheeseburger, like somewhere at an old Black Angus Steakhouse. The Bun was like a Brioche, very gourmet. What did it was the Avacado. The Fries were on point, crunchy, and I really liked how it was served in this neat Basket. They get some points for originality. This was one hefty Cheeseburger, and it was oh so good. I was thinking this was going to be a 3.8-4.2 stars, but I give this 4.3 stars.

    Eh it's an ok place. For someone drunk looking for a Asian food at wee hours, this place will do. Selection of asian food is of course limited. They also have American food. I ordered shrimp scrambled egg on a fries rice, but it came out looking like porridge! Not what I was expecting. In order to make it palatable, I added some lemon, some soy sauce, and hot sauce. Waiters are attentive though, which is good. Oh btw, for a place that offers Asian food, it's a disappointment that they do not have CHILI OIL and a REAL soy sauce. Since this is inside a casino, the place is like an ashtray, so expect to come out smelling like one. So, if you ever come here, don't wear your nice clothes...you know, those clothes that can still be recycled cuz they are not so dirty to be thrown in the laundry yet.

    We chose from the Breakfast options (salmon served with hard boiled egg and bagel w cream cheese). They have a large menu with lots of options at good prices. We chose to share this dish, so only my half is pictured. It will definitely fill one person up if they aren't sharing. Tip: Jus get your free drinks on the casino floor rather than paying for drinks in the restaurant area. Also, coffee is $2 but free on floor. It was our first time here. If we are in the area, we would come again.

    Wow. I'm really surprised by all the sucky comments below but then again.. they are pretty old. Well, I must say---the San Pablo Casino's Broiler restuarant really won my heart over. No, I don't enjoy inhaling cigarette fumes but I had a very good first and second experience. Their sweet potato fries with sweet aioli sauce is amazing! Their clam chowder is very, very good and I've had my share of clam chowder in my small lifetime. Their caesar salad was great the first time but unfortunately failed the second time because it was too salty. The service is really good. Maybe they read the below reviews and thought--"Hmm, we should improve". You get freshly baked buns served hot with creamy butter spread while you wait for your appetizers and entree meals. I will definitely be going back. I wish all the other folks who like this place would Yelp it so it doesn't look like the Broiler sucks because it doesn't! At least, not anymore!

    Last Saturday after losing $40 on the slots I came here for dinner as I had no desire to gamble inside the casino again. I needed to get the bad taste of losing in my mouth. I had a small dinner that consisted of two dishes: 1) casino sampler and 2) catfish with black beans over rice. The sampler had a decent portion of chicken wings, chicken fingers, and popcorn shrimp. In addition there were different types of dipping sauce (honey mustard, tartar sauce, ketchup, and salsa) that was provided. The main dish, the catfish, is similar to Chinese seafood stir fry dish. The catfish is diced, breaded, and fried. A black bean sauce, that you normally see at a Chinese restaurant, is added on top of the catfish. I liked the moistness of the catfish however by putting the black bean sauce on top of the breaded catfish the breading becomes soggy not crispy. Overall the catfish dish was a light, pleasant dinner. I enjoyed my time at this restaurant than Casino San Pablo.

    Our food was delicious

When maps directed me to here, I was shocked. Stepped in there was 1 party so I said great its not busy.

Alan came around and handed us menus and since my little one is into chicken or country fried steak, its the first thing I asked him when he greeted us.

I…read morereviewed yelp to find something close that maybe we hadn't tried, and I found Mely's with the amazing rating of 4.3 stars. We've lived in Hercules for over 30 years and are creatures of habit, so it was nice to venture the 10-minute drive to San Pablo. We were not impressed by the exterior strip mall building, but the interior of Mely's is very cute, homey, and clean. (I even peeked into the kitchen since the door was open.) I wanted pancakes, but got waffles instead since W ordered the blueberry buttermilk stack. We both had a side of eggs, his scrambled and mine sunny side up. The eggs were delish; mine in particular was perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy edges, a beautiful, silky, runny yolk, and no uncooked whites. The blueberry pancakes are so good! Of course they are huge and I ate some of them in addition to my waffle. We could have split just the pancakes and been perfectly happy. They cook berries inside the homemade batter and top them with a house-made blueberry compote. Maple syrup and soft butter on the side. The waffles are crispy outside with a light, airy, center, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I had strawberries on the side (+$5 !!). Since I ate some of W's pancakes, we took half the waffles home. W had a drip coffee--no decalf available so I had the fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a large glass so I took half of that home, too. The coffee was nothing to rave about, but it was coffee. Service was friendly and efficient--there is only one cook and one server, and it seems several of us arrived at the same time on this Sunday morning. Overall a wonderful find that we will return to so we can explore more dishes. We saw omelets and Benedict's come out that looked amazing! Plus, I want to try the dinner menu, which also looked pretty amazing.

As a Richmond local, I've spent a decent of time chasing real good beer and comfort food around the Bay, and this place delivered. We started with my favorite cucumber salad and a couple Fieldwork IPAs (the regular West Coast IPA, not hazy). Then came the fish & chips. Honestly, fish (unless it is extraordinary) doesn't usually get me excited, but this was the standout. The batter was light, crispy, and steaming hot, with two good-sized pieces of fish per order. Add lemon and malt vinegar and it was game over. The fries were great, too, but the fish was the surprise. In fact, I liked it so much I ordered a second plate. At $28, it's more of a treat than a habit, but when I find great fish & chips, I'm all in. The setting doesn't hurt, either. Sitting above Point San Pablo Harbor with the boats gently rocking below is about as relaxing as Richmond gets. Then Los Bahianatos!! started playing cumbia and completely won over the crowd. Before long people were happy & dancing and sticking around longer than they probably planned. Good beer, great fish & chips, live music, and a waterfront view. Hard to complain about any of that.

Grilled asparagus/ pickled radish/ the basic onion/ bell pepper. No salad, no Guac, no sour cream. Back to the service- we returned the Chicken only to get $5 off the bill.
