3/2/26-2/4/26 Cudos to the cook FOR ALL 4 meals we ate while visiting!!!! The food was FANTASTIC!!! Service from ELLIE was superb!! She was a professional delight!! JEREMIAH rocked it in the evenings! The only disappointment we had was the burnt salted caramel cookie and the freezer burnt ice cream we ordered to go.

We had a really enjoyable dining experience here. The bar offers a solid beer selection, and the food we ordered was flavorful and well prepared. It was pretty busy since we visited on a Saturday, but the staff handled the crowd effortlessly and still provided attentive, friendly service. One thing we appreciated was that even though it’s connected to the casino, the restaurant itself felt welcoming and comfortable for families. The atmosphere struck a nice balance—lively but not overwhelming. Overall, it was a great meal with excellent service, and we’d happily recommend it to others. We’ll definitely be returning next time we’re in the area.

Overall good, I ordered the mozzarella sticks and got the pepper jack burger, and it was good. Food came out quick, service was good. Nothing super unique, but was a good place to eat and good experience.

We are here for a wedding so we stopped in on our first night, the food was really really good. Our waiter was very friendly as well! The only “bad” thing I can say is the drinks are SO strong, mind you the drinks are $12 so you’re absolutely getting your moneys worth but sadly I just couldn’t drink it because it was beyond strong! If you’re into that type of drink, 10/10 recommend!

We were seated promptly, but waited 10-15 minutes for a server to even get drink orders. Our server took our order for food at the same time or we might have never been served. We did not order appetizers, but our food order took 30-40 minutes to come to our table. My wife had a cheese burger and fries, I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf. The food was good, but the service was abysmal. I will look for other options before I try the Tin Lizard again…

I am very pleasantly surprised to do this review. I wasn’t expecting a casino bar/restaurant to have such decadence with their food. It’s amazing – I had the roasted chicken with spring vegetables and it knocked my socks off. I was extremely satisfied with this food choice – I know this review may sound inflated, but I’m honest and I was truly surprised. The mustard sauce is phenomenal with this dish. It’s balanced just right.
So with that being said, it’s also priced at a great price point.
The atmosphere is comfortable and the booth seating is inviting as they line one side of the windows that half encase the restaurant. You’ll have some great river views here.
Bree was our waitress and she was as sweet and nice as they come. She was accommodating and checked on us from time to time.
I would definitely come back here.

I want to start off by saying the food was delicious for the most part and our waiter was super friendly. However, the service was lackluster. We ordered two appetizers that took at least 30 minutes to come out. While the waiter was friendly and polite, I do feel like they were absent during our experience. They only stopped by the table to take our order and to drop off our food and that’s when we had to ask for refills. At some point each of us were waiting for a refill for some time. We didn’t even see them walking by to flag them down except once for refills. It would be understandable if the restaurant was super busy, but it was average, if not a little empty.

Food is good, but the service was not. Waited forever just to get our order taken, drinks were slow to come out and one was forgotten. We sat for more than an hour with dry glasses, trying to get the attention of our server. The robotic servers were an annoyance. It felt like we were supposed to serve ourselves when it showed up at the table, which we did not. A passing server noticed it and put the food on the table. For having such good food, and above average prices, I expect better.

Sara and Sarah were great bartenders. So much fun! Held great conversations with us with a crowded bar while keeping all the other happy also!!!!

Really enjoy the live bands on the weekends. Sandwiches are a little pricey as are plain sodas. Guess it helps with no cover being charged for the live music.
