The Gallery Cafe

I came here recalling the old days of $6 prime rib deals and gargantuan desserts for $4 or so. This place was never exactly inspirational, but the quality was still pretty awesome given the price range, and it used to be my go-to stop on long drives north. Sadly, it seems those days are over. I have had worse service, but it was still frustrating slow considering that I was trying to get back on the road. The website promises that "every order comes with a smile", but they must have given my smile to the wrong table. The food was edible, and that's all it really deserves. I had a pastrami sandwich in some weird pretzel bread, while my sister gnawed on a dried-out French Dip.

For those looking for a much better I-15 pit stop: Peggy Sue's 50's Diner, 100 miles to the south in Yermo. You can't miss the signs...

Where to go when you get hungry at Primm casino? NOT HERE. I have been to this cafe several times, each time forgetting that this place completely SUCKS! Part of this is due to the good restaurants around it always having a 45 min wait.

The staff here is ridiculous. We stand at the door like idiots for at least 5 min to get seated knowing that a server has acknowledged our existence, while 2 waiters stand around the cash register RIGHT NEXT to the door just chitchat away like middle school. They give you menus and resume ignoring you until one of them is finished chatting. And might I add, the manager not only allows this behavior of the staff but acts like the ring leader of this circus.

Then there is that shy server (probably the newer workers), who works his ass off cleaning all the tables that all the other waiters fail to notice needs cleaning.

Food is decent for what it's worth. But if you wait for more than 15 min for your food... stars begin to drop, FAST. I see that some people order their food, leave the place to gamble for 20 min and come back just in the nick of time to catch their food. Think I'm exaggerating?? I probably saw 3 tables like this.

I am glad we got Sela as our server this last time that I went. This woman is genuinely sweet to all her customers and actually works for her tips. So if you don't see a little old lady working, DON'T EVEN BOTHER

We stopped on our way home from the Strip and the one thing we really craved was a nice steak dinner.  We weren't sure where to go so we decided to check this place out based on casino employees' recommendations.  

We check in at the front and the host lets us know that the kitchen is a little behind and it might be a 30-40 minute wait. He was very nice and allowed us to wait inside at a table despite the delay.  We only waited 10 minutes and we had drinks and our order was taken.  Our server was pretty cool and we got our food within 20 minutes.  

Okay, the food: I thought it was pretty normal late night dining fare.  The steaks were okay and the sides were normal (mashed potatoes or fries, side of veggies).

Overall, we were pleased and left with full tummies. I thought the prices could've been a bit lower for the quality.
