This will be your best option here at Harrahs especially if you have more than one person in your party. There are seasonal options depending on the month and season of the year. The most popular item tbh is the garlic shrimp pasta and it makes sense because it hits every time you are craving it. The burger is pretty good here too. As someone who is on a salt restriction, I usually just ask things for no seasoning/no butter if I can, and they can usually accommodate. The service can depend on the rush, so don't be too quick to judge based on it. They can be short staffed at random times, but honestly they are really kind and considerate people who love serving others and easy to talk to and love. We haven't had troublesome workers ever. The ambiance is like a moderate to teeny bit fancy diner-esque type of place. It is pretty chill in here. No dress code vibe. People have come dressed up for Mother's Day brunch vibes or in swimwear with covers/tank tops with board shorts and their floaties from the lazy river. When I'm in the mood for wings, I get naked wings with sauce on the side. Their blue cheese dressing is delicious. The wings are naked naked like no salty flavor or anything which I can appreciate a plain palette/canvas so that I can go as liberal or not with sauces. They are quick to refill your cups/coffee. :)
Stayed at the resort and checked out this place for lunch. They have robots that play music while they run your food to the table! They serve breakfast all day and have lunch/dinner options. A little pricey, $20 each, but good sized portions. Sandwiches can come with tater tots or truffle fries. My BLT had lots of bacon so I felt as though I got my moneys worth. The turkey club is stacked with extra bread. The fries don't really have a strong Parmesan truffle flavor but were cooked really well! I would eat here again if I stayed at the casino.
The wasn't that bad we order a chicken salad and chicken pasta with mushrooms. The service was a little slow overall but okay. The ambience inside was average noise since it's inside the casino. Overall I would go again and try different items.
Came to have breakfast here at the café and surprisingly it was really good for a casino restaurant the food had really good taste and we got really good service.
This is our go to breakfast spot at Harrah's. If you are a Caesar's rewards player make sure to bring your players card, as you can use your points to pay. Great variety of choices for breakfast and lunch. You can choose from regular burger fries type meals to healthy choices as well. We chose a healthy california scramble and fruit. But if you choose to load up on tater tots they are really good as well. The line can be long as prime time, and sometimes it takes a bit long for service, but overall the food is great and sometimes if you are lucky it will get delivered by a robot!
3.5 stars This Harrah's casino is really lacking in dining options. The Café is a tier above the fast casual offerings and is way more affordable than Hell's Kitchen. Honestly, it gives diner vibes. Though they do offer a myriad of menu items, we stuck with pretty basic things: -chicken fingers ($16): golden fried chicken tenders with dipping sauce -turkey club ($20): roasted turkey, bacon,tomato, lettuce, mayo + your choice of cheese Honestly, everything was pretty solid. They also use beer battered fries which I really like. Overall, both entrees tasted like room service in the best way possible. Good, but not great and a little relieved that it's not overpriced.
Service was very good from Chandidapa "Chida". She is very polite, pleasant, and always smiling. Ambiance was great and the food was terrific with Father's Day special which was Veal, mashed potatoes, and vegetables.
Went harrahs again to pu gift. Ate lunch. Burger and Cobb salad great as always. Excellent services. Recommend
The café at Harrah's Resort & Casino in Funner, CA is clean, nicely decorated, and has a welcoming vibe at first glance. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the setting. Service was good, but definitely not great. Our server was polite but came by at least three separate times to ask if we were ready to order while we were still reading the menu which made us feel rushed. Then, once our food arrived I don't think we saw her again until she dropped off the check. It felt like we were being hurried along without much attention afterward. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich ($20), which was a letdown. The chicken was slightly burnt on one side and really burnt on the other side (the thin side) and tasted overcooked. The "hot honey" seemed to be a mix of Sriracha and honey, which didn't have much flavor beyond heat. They also added a green chili aioli, which I would normally be excited about, but it just didn't pair well with the rest of the sandwich and there was too much slathered on. My friend got the steak sandwich and said it was good, while another friend ordered a burger and added mushrooms, which cost an extra $5, bringing her burger to a jaw dropping $25! She said it was just okay, not worth the price tag by any means. All in all, the café is a decent place to grab a bite if you're already at Harrah's and don't want to leave the property. But if you have any other dining options available, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Overall a disappointment.
Me and my wife come here a lot before but I didn't get the chance to review the place. As far as i can remember, their food for me was just average, from the taste, the preparation and the service. Kinda more like an ihop and denny's type of food. So we stopped coming here for years. A couple of weeks ago, we got a chance to stay in harrahs again for 2 nights,, one morning we decided to come here again and have some good 'ol american breakfast. We had the avocado toast with sausage and the berry explosion french toast. We loved it! Portions are really big. The staff are really friendly here and the place is really clean.
Yes, the food here is expensive but Caesars rewards members can use rewards credits to pay. Service was great, as the employees were nice & attentive. The cafe was not busy at all on a Sunday night. We were immediately seated in a booth, and our meals arrived shortly after ordering. My son had bolognese pasta, hubby had the frisco burger (which I had a bite of, and was delicious!) and I opted for the fish and chips and shrimp. It was all freshly fried without being overly greasy. Our meals were tasty, portioned perfectly, and definitely hit the spot after an afternoon at the pool.
This place is actually surprisingly pretty good! Ambiance is a diner vibe and the service is very quick and kind! The food was actually great especially after a day of swimming and gambling their brookie so delicious i would highly reccomend it along with the loaded tots with steak!

okay -- here's a funny/snarky version: Rincon Café at Harrah's is like the casino's way of saying "technically we have food." Not good food -- just... food-shaped objects you can consume so you don't pass out. And the hours? They have a sign that says they close at a certain time -- but that's more of a concept than a commitment. It's like they spin a wheel in the back: "will we close on time tonight or will we close because one employee got bored?" let's find out. You can literally walk across the floor thinking you'll get a sandwich -- and they'll be like: "oh yeah we closed 45 minutes ago... because vibes." So if you want reliability or flavor: this is not your place. If you want to gamble on whether a restaurant is open inside the casino that's literally about gambling -- have fun at Rincon Café. read more
The Cafe inside of Harrah's Rincon Casino and Resort provides a menu full of breakfast, lunch and dinner all rolled into one. Given the limited food options inside of Harrahs, The Cafe has a menu that can accommodate a wide variety of food preferences. The portions are a good size considering the prices I found to be on the higher side as you have limited options in the area of places you can dine. On this first time visit, I opted for the Rib Eye cooked medium rare which came with Mashed Potatoes and vegetables. The steak was decent as its no prime cut of beef but nonetheless palatable. Service was great as the staff was attentive and they even had those serving robots helping out the staff. The Cafe is a great dining option if you are looking for classic breakfast options, salads, and meat centric dishes. read more
The service and ambiance is great. I wish I could say the same about the food. The skillet is ordered containing something additional was not pleasant. It appeared as a hair. My server Noe dismissed it as something part of an onion. Oh well. I sent it back and requested it to be made again for take out. I tipped Noe nicely and paid at the counter. Such an unfortunate situation, but I am willing to give the Cafe another try. read more
Sandwiched in between the promotions desk and KJ Chinese Restaurant along the north wall is The Cafe at Harrah's. Every time we passed by, this place was full of people, and for good reason! Service was superb and came with a smile every step of the way. At a glance from the outside, we thought it was a pretty small restaurant with very limited seating, but after being checked in and led to our table, we realize that there is plenty of room. Traditional American diner and cafe cuisine is offered on the menu here with quite a few options. Keeping in tradition with being located inside a casino, the prices are higher than your local cafes, but when compared to the other restaurants here, this is the best value for your money. The portions are decent and will fill you up. We opted for the High Roller (eggs your way, bacon or sausage, hash browns or tots, toast and two pancakes) and the Big Country (country fried steak, ham steak or corn beef hash, eggs your way, hash browns or tots, and toast). While there wasn't anything really special about the High Roller other than being really filling and quite tasty, my wife LOVED her country fried steak. I was struggling to finish my meal because of the tots and the pancakes, then opted to take the rest to go, but the Big Country was perfectly portioned for my wife. One of the highlights of the meal was the robot helpers that were driving by on their own to each table with their respective orders. The servers still come to hand you the food off of the robot, but it was very interesting watching it move back and forth. The missing star is unfortunately due to the open access to the casino. While the visibility is there to attract hungry casino patrons, it also attracts the smoke that plagues the rest of the casino. There's something about getting ready to dig into a perfectly cooked egg and sausage breakfast, but getting hit with a wave of cigarette smoke at the last second that diminishes the experience. Payments are collected at the exit at the cashier stand, and I believe you can use your casino credits/points towards your meal. read more
I had breakfast with my dad at this cafe located inside Harrah's casino. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. We both had the country fried steak and eggs. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the gravy complimented well together. The hashbrowns were crispy on the outside the way I like them. Our server, Eric ( I think), was awesome. I will definitely return here for breakfast . Keep up the great service. It's appreciated . read more

This place is inside of the Harrah's Resort. This is the August Special (Aug. 2023). Fried steak on top of spaghetti, which I thought was OK. I asked for a side of Parmesan cheese and they have freshed shaved! Yum, defintely added to the flavor. My hubs got the Prime rib, which he loved. Decent size, cooked correctly, and the mashed potatoes were yummy! We also shared a breakfast one day! Chicken fried steak & eggs. Delish! Really appreciated that they stayed open later than any of the other restaurants in the resort, since there really isn't much else around! :) We had great servers both times we ate here! No complaints!!!! :) read more
The steak and eggs were ok. The eggs and hash brown were good but not the steak. Definitely not worth $30+. The to go service was good. The ambiance was like a diner. Food was to go and we've eaten here before. Other choices were better from previous dining experience. read more

Breakfast is always good here; great options to choose from and consistent in quality. THE FOODS | - Build Your Own Omelette: Turkey sausage. Mushrooms. Avocado. Swiss cheese. Tater tots o'brien. Sourdough toast. | The ingredients chosen are fresh and sufficiently portioned for the omelette size. I typically use the sourdough toast to pile on sections of my omelette and devour it like no one's looking. The red and green peppers are a nice touch for the tater tots and gives it a slightly sweet taste. WOULD I COME BACK? | A resounding yes! Their breakfast game is on point. read more

I've been to all the fast/casual restaurants at Harrah's SoCal, and The Cafe is my favorite. Fast friendly service. Robot is amusing. The garlic butter shrimp pasta is off the charts good!!! The vegan "funner fried rice" is delicious but came with overwhelming garlic chunks. I'd definitely order it again, just would request minimal garlic. read more
Convenient food with lots of options on their menu! They have a wide variety of American diner foods such as breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, finger foods. Very much so overpriced and food is not all that great but the good thing about it is you are able to use your credits to pay and their sauces are generous. read more

My go to restaurant when I visit Harrahs. They have a lot of options on the menu and you can use your Caesar rewards card here to pay! Every entree is a different Reward Credit to redeem. I often get their garlic shrimp pasta with sun dried tomato. It is sooo good and a comfort food for me. It goes for 2,700 RC points. I take it to go when I head home as well, it's that good!!! I look forward to this dish whenever I am here. My cousin had their reuben sandwich, which is good as well. He raves about it. So far I had ordered their Buffalo wings, it was crunchy and had flavor. The Turkey sandwich I ordered was a big sandwich and it came with condiments. Their garlic bread is a must try, great portion, crunchy, perfectly toasted and smeared with delicious garlic butter. Overall all the entrees are huge portion. It's a decent size restaurant. They are open 24/7 which I love. The only thing is that they don't offer to go at the moment but if you sit down you can ask for it in a To go container and they will charge $5.00 plus 18% tip. It's so worth it for me though. Give The Cafe a try next time you visit Harrahs. Friendly staff, service and atmosphere. Whatever you ask for extra crush peppers, napkins, utensils. They will hook it up! read more
Located in Harrahs casino. Staff was very friendly. Ordered the BLT sandwich. Did not expect it to be that big. Was 3 layers. Sourdough bread, turkey, bacon, lettuce. Was very tasty. I ordered a Mac n cheese on the side instead of fries. It was very rich and creamy and delicious. A nice meal to have before starting your gambling adventures. Also I've never seen a robot serving food, that was very cool to see for the first time. Highly recommend. read more

Came up to Harrahs for a comedy show and needed to grab dinner. Hells Kitchen and the Cantina were booked so we decided to come to the cafe. Not only did we do dinner here, we also had breakfast here the next morning. For dinner I had the turkey club sandwich with the parmesan tots. The sandwich was ok, the turkey for some reason tasted dry, there was not enough mayonnaise on the sandwich but the tots were amazing!! My friend had the chicken breast sandwich and said it was good but she loved the tots the best. I'm telling you it's all about the tots lol!! Service was ok, refills on drinks were very slow and the bread of the sandwich made my mouth so dry, I was drinking my soda so fast I desperately needed a refill but couldn't get one. In the morning we had breakfast here, I had the Denver omelette which was really good and chose the tots over the hash browns lol! Again the service was just super slow and idk why because the place was not busy. Overall it was what it was...an American cafe. read more

We've eaten here almost a dozen times, so it's about time for a review. Casino based cafes don't seem to get a fair shake and, for the most part, they are surprisingly good. We were most impressed by the Cafe at Aquarius in Laughlin and now, by the Cafe here at Harrah's Southern California. The menu is quite extensive from sandwiches to prime rib to the occasional market available fresh fish (in our case, swordfish). The breakfast is good and hearty, the sandwiches filling (if not a bit salty) and the clam chowder downright delicious! The eggs Benedict was okay. The poached eggs were poached well (not in a good sense), meaning it was a solid yolk. The hollandaise sauce was a little too little and the hashbrowns were overcooked. The French toast was typical but watch out if you order a la carte... My wife ordered 2 eggs to go with her side of French toast and the eggs alone cost $10.00 ($5.00 each). The sausage and biscuits were dense and peppery (black pepper spicy, not hot peppers spicy) and interestingly cold on one side and warm on the other... The prime rib was good, about par for a cafe. The prime dip sandwich was salty and messy. The au jus spilled and soaked the bottom of the French roll, however, the meat was tender. The grilled swordfish, on the other hand, was a very pleasant surprise. It was thin, no doubt why the price was so reasonable, but not dry and not salty. It was quite good and was presented better than I expected. The clam chowder was just excellent and not from a can. It was creamy with an almost buttery finish with small bits of clam and very few potatoes. I really liked it and will get it again. So why does this mediocre place get 4 stars from me and Hell's Kitchen only 3? Expectations. I knew going into this cafe that it was just that, a cafe. But, I was more than pleasantly surprised, especially with their swordfish. As for Hell's Kitchen? I expected a mind blowing experience from a Gordon Ramsay chain and got salty food and dish I had to send back and no linens on the table and a loud, bar type of ambiance. One I expected less and got more and the other I expected more and got less. Here's to expectations... read more

This place is located inside the Harrah's casino and resort. The food prices are going to be higher since you are at a casino and we used our comp dollars which is 100 credits per 1 dollar. I ordered the BLTA and my wife go the pasta. Overall I enjoyed the sandwich. Service was good. I saw the robots go by and help out which is a fun experience. Not a bad place for a casino restaurant. read more

Nothing special or out of the ordinary. Our party ordered various items, we had about 12 people in our party. It's standard breakfast. The service was good, waiters and waitresses were very attentive and accommodating. The steak was well seasoned and did come out medium rare as asked. Hash brown was cooked to extra well done so it was nice and crispy. They have various items on the menu so there should be a little of everything for everyone. read more
I have never had a bad experience whenever I choose to dine here. Customer service is exceptional, foods always hot and fresh bursting full of flavor. I'm not a breakfast eater but on a rare occasion I do love trying something from the morning menu. Eggs Benedict is truly a weakness of mine coming from someone who doesn't actually eat breakfast. When paired with tots o'brien it's a match made in heaven. The flavors tickled at my tastebuds from the perfectly poached eggs over thick cut Canadian bacon. While I devoured my food, my partnered consumed his custom made omelet within minutes. While I'm usually here for late nights or dinner the breakfast selection is fairly simple but very delicious. I'd also reccomend trying out a cup of chili or their Mac n cheese as well. read more

I was so happy to see a "Veggie Favorites" section on the menu at this café inside the casino! We ordered the wild rice bowl and the Herbivore burger. The rice bowl was packed with fresh veggies and herbs--super tasty, though a bit watery. The Herbivore burger offers a choice of the Beyond burger or Gardein chicken patty; we got the chicken with a side of tots. The burger was grilled to perfection, with a taste and texture surprisingly close to a real chicken patty. It didn't come with sauce, but the veggie toppings kept it from being dry. If you're in this casino, this spot has vegan options you can pick from. read more
Good place to eat while at Harrah's. They have a lot of options to chose from. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich with a side is Caesar salad, it was delicious. My husband also enjoyed his food and beer. The portions are good and the prices are reasonable. I'm sure we will eat here again when we visit this summer. It's very convenient.... They open early and close late. read more

I actually have eaten here quite a few times over the years and have always been satisfied. The wait can be awful at times, but to be expected during busy times like breakfast and weekends. Since this is a casino resort, there are not many other options to eat at. Coffee is always hot and plentiful. This time I had an omelette and it was very good. My hash browns were extra crispy as requested. Lots of jams and butter were provided for my English muffin. We shared the banana split as we have done in the past. It is yummy, and if you like ice cream, I highly recommend. The crispy caramelized bananas are delicious! And it's huge for the price. Service is friendly and efficient. I will be back. read more

Boy, did this place hit the spot! My wife and I are staying at the hotel for our anniversary and we had dinner here tonight. Maria was our waitress and she was outstanding. You'll be lucky to have her wait on you. She makes you feel comfortable without being phoney. The place has a cool vibe.. The food rocked! My wife had the fish and shrimp with chips. She loved it. I had the Ruben and I was so satisfied. The parmesan fries are addicting...be prepared. Truly, this place isn't really expensive and we plan to go back for breakfast. ....oh!...The coffee. My wife had coffee and I tried it...it was the best coffee ever. Seriously. "The best Jerry. It's the best!" Harrah's is really awesome. We always love staying here. I always joke that I want to live here. read more

I had to review this spot because the rating was low and after eating here I didn't feel that was fair. My experience was great so I had to share. My boyfriend and I came here after watching Mike Epps do a comedy show at Harrah's. The wait was short and the service was excellent. Our server was on it and very friendly. Everything came out quickly and was really delicious. I like the blue lights they have on the walls. I would definitely come back. read more

Surprisingly they have really good food! We came here because the buffet was closed. Had it been open still we would've never come in here. The service was quick and there was a large table to accommodate 9 people right next to the entrance. Before we sat down the hostess made sure we're aware of the 20% automatic tip for our large party. I tried their shrimp pasta and it was so delicious! The plate was still hot when it was served. The pasta was al dente, the shrimp portion was very decent and they tasted succulent and plump as well! Oh and their toast was so buttery and crunchy. Husband had the boss burger from their December special and he said it's good, but missing some sauce so he had to ask for bbq sauce. Their fries were battered and delicious too. Overall great food and service. read more
