Sourdough Cafe

3 star rating for me simply means average. I stopped here for breakfast on sunday and I got the Arizona toast combo for $ 8.99. Now I already know better to stay away from the menu items that are highlighted with a shadow box around them or bold letters or «Managers favorite» as these mean highest profit margin items for the restaurant. Oldest trick in the book and it gets consumers glued to the items like this because they pop out on the menu. I’ve done it before on my menus too… guilty (lol). But I was really in the mood for some french toast which included 2 slices of bread cut in half so actually 4 triangles, 2 of the smallest eggs that can probably be sold on the market, 2 small shriveled up bacon strips and a snowball size clump of hash browns. Oh and typical across the country that any french toast order that is paired with eggs, no toast comes with as you already have a bread in the meal with your french toast but for those of us «egg dunkers» we need ADDITIONAL toast for this. Upcharge is expected so I got the sourdough and it was good. Entire meal was decent but nothing that deserves an extra star. I’d stop here again to try other items for sure. Not giving up on the Café !

The glass is half full. They removed my review because I reviewed it under Arizona Charlie’s, the casino-​hotel in which it is located. On the flip side, they ( Unilocal HQ) notified me, thus I can do a cut and paste.
I’ve only been to the Sourdough Café once and, hot damn, I remember it. My friend who lives in Las Vegas goes here fairly regularly and still gives me favorable reports. I remember how good and plentiful the food was.
For the sake of brevity, I’ll review Sourdough Café like this:
Great … breakfasts … + … strawberry … shortcake … = 4 words
1 star … + 1 star … + … 1 star … + 1 star … = 4 stars

This is only for the RESTAURANT portion of the establishment… called the Sourdough Café.
Again, a «local» and a friend of hers found this place and took me there.
It’s a little dumpy and not in a very inspiring area. What they lack in this department, they make up for in the food and VALUE. They had this incredible breakfast offer. It was an awesome breakfast that I had outside typical breakfast hours. We also split a strawberry shortcake. Unbelievable.
So much of Las Vegas’s hinterlands are vapid, and transiting from my friend’s place to Arizona Charlie’s made me think, «It better be good.» It was.

Edward fixed everything that went wrong. Minus one star because Robin still messed things up, but Edward was such a doll. First visit here went fine. Second visit was a to-​go order that was taken by Robin. Most of what swayed our decision to buy here was me raving about their homemade chicken noodle soup. I had it on my first visit here and since my friend was feeling a bit under the weather, I told him that he should try some.
She handed us the bag and drinks and we headed back to the room. We noticed that the soup was missing when we started emptying the plastic bag. I sent my buddy back to get his soup. He said he talked to the same lady and she insisted that the soup was in the bag. Ok, we made a $ 30+ order, and all I’m complaining about is missing soup. In the end she insisted it was there, and did not give the soup to my buddy even though I sent him down with my receipt, ID and the cc I used.
I called downstairs when he got back to my room and told them I’d like to return the entire order for a refund since I am unable to get my soup. Megan answered the phone and said she couldn’t authorize that, but she would have her manager call me back. In the meantime, we sat there with food getting cold because we were waiting on the word for it being ok to return. I was surprised that Megan actually did have Edward call me back on my room phone. I asked if he would authorize a return of this now-​cold food for a full refund. He said we can walk back down again and get the soup. I said that would have been nice the first time, but it was already denied to us. Since my one friend was already feeling sick, he said to just leave it as is, but my other friend decided she was ok to walk down and pick up the soup, so I sent her. I didn’t feel like going and I felt like if I did I would be yelling at someone.
My friend comes back, and not only did Edward throw in an extra cup of soup, he sent up some dinner rolls as well. When I was on the phone with him, he did offer dessert, but we declined since we had been to the buffet earlier and were still feeling the guilt. It was nice that he sent dinner rolls up, though… went nicely with the soup and no visible boogers & c*m. (Y’all seen that South Park episode, right?)

I come here about once a week and have their breakfast farmhouse special $ 3.99 (2 eggs, links /​bacon, toast or biscuits and gravy; a dollar more for steak or ham). I am always happy with the food and service there. Thank you!

Tl;Dr SourDon’t Café.
I remember my grandparents taking us here when we were younger. I knew they had a prime rib special, so we drove down here Saturday ½/​16 for lunch.
Atmosphere– Very country-​ish. They were playing country music, and country décor was scattered all over the walls in this place.
Service– Our server, Pedro, served us, but that was about all he did. He was in a grumpy mood and it showed. We asked him what kind of soda they had, and he told us to ask the busboy, wtf. The bus boy ended up being a better server than he was! We wanted to leave a tip for him, but we couldn’t find him so we asked the girls at the front if we could put the money in an envelope for him. We explained that he was much more helpful than Pedro, and they didn’t seem surprised. Apparently they have this problem with him a lot. I don’t understand why you would want your business to suffer because of one shitty server.
Food– I ordered the men’s cut (12oz) prime rib dinner. It came with salad, rolls, veggies and mashed potatoes. The prime rib was dry and nasty. It was very chewy too. The veggies that came with my meal were cold as well as the mashed potatoes. The rolls were warm though and the salad was decent. My boyfriend ordered the chicken fried steak with eggs, hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy. We also ordered chili cheese fries to share. We asked that the fries come well done, and of course when they arrived at the table they were not. We told Pedro so he went back to the kitchen. He then came back and told us the chef said that the fries aren’t crispy because the chili and cheese on top make them soggy, wtf! We asked for them to just bring the chili and cheese on the side. (The cheese is the liquid nacho kind, my favorite.)
Overall– Shitty service that they are aware of, crappy food. I won’t be back.

Cheap breakfasts but they get you with the beverages! Steak was dry and scary looking. Eggs and hash browns were good!

Located inside of Arizona Charlie’s Casino.
$ 4.99 steak and eggs– you can’t go wrong with this deal, it is a bargain. The eggs were good and so were the hash browns. The steak was fatty around the edges, so I just cut it off and then it was ok.
Large restaurant, they can accommodate big parties.
Be prepared to wait in line (maybe 20 mins or less when I went on a Saturday morning) if you aren’t a premier member.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve been here. We used to live right behind Arizona Charlie’s and every weekend we would have breakfast here. I felt like remembering the old days so I decided to stop by. I came by myself and was seated almost immediately. A nice woman came and took my drink order. After that another waiter came and asked if I wanted anything. I told her that they are getting my drink already and in a snobby way she replied «are you not going to eat? I’m here to get your food». Came off very rude. I order Steak and Eggs, well done.
The food came out very quick, about 5 minutes or so. The Steak definitely wasn’t well done. As I cut into it, it was very pink and chewy. Had to pour A1 sauce on it just to get a bit of flavor. Definitely wasn’t what I remember. The service was horrible, didn’t even get checked on the see if I needed anything. I don’t know if it was just because I’m sitting by myself or what. The only time the waiter came back was to drop off the bill. Definitely not coming back, I’ll just stick to South Point for my steak and eggs for now on.

Been here about every 2 weeks. This place has great and fast service. Definitely tends to an older crowd, so it’s great for a more peaceful dining experience

I don’t live at home anymore so when my parents invited me to go to a place we used to go to all the time I was excited. This place used to be so delicious.
I showed up 10 minutes later than everyone else. I got a 3 meal course. Onion rings were soggy and wasn’t crispy at all. You’d be surprised with how much better it could be by leaving it in for another minute. Wasn’t eatable. I got some burger (the only one for the 3 course option) and it tasted like frozen patties from Walmart. They asked how I wanted it and said «medium» but these were so thin it’s impossible to do so mine was well done. Disgusting. Didn’t even have the texture of real meat. The fries were just your normal fries. The steak used to be an actual steak but looking at my parents plates it didn’t even look like real steak. Just some floppy meat. Soup was still good as usual (never disappoints as an appetizer) and it took the waiters a long time to realize that my drink was completely empty. I understand that I showed up later than they did but it took my food 20 minutes to come out and everyone was already done eating. Wtf? Done coming to such a cheap restaurant. Thanks for ruining traditions.

Best steak and egg deal I’ve ever found anywhere in America! Lived in vegas from 06 – 09 and went here often. Moved back a month ago and have been here twice. The servers are kind, the vibe is comforting, and the food leaves you with money in your pocket to gamble (or buy dessert… or whatever). It’s perfect! Don’t forget to leave a big tip for your server!

Been to this location about 3 – 4 times. This last time I went I got good customer service. Even though it’s Wednesday it was pretty busy but the line was moving quick.
Didn’t get our waitress name but she was kind didn’t rush us. The only thing I don’t like about coming to places like this is the smell of smoke. Other than that the prices are great, decent customer service, and fairly quick.

The service was slow. The coffee was not good at all. Either it was old or just plain old cheap coffee. After we ate our meal we ordered dessert. I stacked up all our dirty plates on one side of the table so the server can just pick it up. Well, unfortunately, the server gave us our dessert and didn’t even picked up those dirty plates.
I was very disappointed! You would think that they would at least clear the table before placing our desserts on the table. But no, we have to eat desserts with all the dirty plates on the table.
The food was just ok! That’s expected.

Oh Sourdough Café. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… um nevermind I don’t even know where I was going with that one.
The other day was the first time I tried the prime rib. It was a surprisingly a really good 12 oz. men’s cut prime rib which came with a soup or salad and a side for like $ 14. For some reason I thought it was just as good maybe even a little better than the prime rib I had from a steakhouse earlier and it wasn’t because it was cheaper. I don’t know how to describe how a prime rib should be besides it looked and tasted good and blood wasn’t running all over the place. I’d definitely order it again. Do yourself a favor, if you’re craving prime rib get the men’s cut, they had a prime rib and shrimp special for like $ 10 but the prime rib just wasn’t the same. Ask my mom who got her prime rib and shrimp plate after a couple of men’s cut prime rib plates were brought to the table. haha.
Just like almost every Vegas casino café has a menu that highlights a cheap steak and eggs deal or various late night deals. Sourdough Café is no different. Here they offer a decent sized cheap steak, forgot how many ounces, a couple of eggs, and hash brown for under $ 5. I use to come here pretty often for steak and eggs back in the day back when it was cheaper, it’s still pretty cheap. It’s not the best or cheapest in town but if you’re craving it and you’re in the area you might as well save some gas money.
It’s not a fancy place, it’s kind of old, and a lot of the food is standard but I like it. 3.5 star.
Oh yeah they also have all you can eat spaghetti just incase you were wondering.

They have great specials!
If you’re looking for a cheap bite to eat then look no further, Sourdough Café has great prices and decent food. You can save a few cents if you obtain a players card.
I always order the steak and eggs special which costs $ 4.49 with the players card, normal cost is $ 4.99, that’s a whopping savings of $ 0.50 cents! Haha
Like I said, the food is decent, the steak isn’t thick, it’s actually pretty thin but still delicious, seasoned right, juicy even when it’s cooked well done. My eggs over medium are always cooked to perfection, hash browns are okay, they’re a bit oily, the meal comes with your choice of toast (white, wheat, or sourdough) all buttered up. I strayed away from the steak and eggs once and ordered the pot roast, it was very dry so now I stick to what I know is good.
The café itself is clean, the service isn’t the greatest. We were seated promptly and the bus person brought our waters out right away. The waitress took our orders quick as well but she brought out our food and we didn’t see her again until she brought out our check. She checked on the table next to us various times but we were invisible to her, she asked the table next to us if they wanted to have dessert before she brought out their check. We weren’t even asked that, what if I wanted some dessert? Lame. Maybe I should have spoken to her in Spanish since she was more attentive with her Spanish speaking customers.
After your check is brought to you, you go up to the cash register to pay. The cashier was very friendly so kudos to her!

4am hungry and tired. Casino 3.99 breakfast.
This is a decent ace to eat. Clean and service is great the few times I’ve been in. One night (Monday’s maybe) they have pot pie that’s good.
Get your players card for the decent pricing.
Eggs over medium came out Perfect! Thanks!
Sourdough toast delicious and crisp.
Ham steak delicious
Hash browns crispy goodness.
Can’t go wrong with those breakfast specials and definitely enough food to fill ya up.
Water comes with lemon

I’ve only had breakfast at AZ Charlie’s Sourdough Café but every time I come to Vegas I make a point to come for breakfast. The $ 3.49 Farmer Special is a bargain and the Steak and Eggs too. Food is hot, fresh and tasty. Service is good, waitstaff is has this system down. I love that you get a carafe of coffee, so refills are easy.
Yes, the place could use a remodel, but I really don’t mind eating in a dated restaurant if the food is good and the price is this low.
Be sure to get your ACE play card in order to qualify for the deals.

It looks like I should have read my last review before ordering the same meal almost three years later in the café that never changes. The shady characters still lurk here in this 24 hour coffee shop and most specials require you to flash the standard players card. The breakfast deal with the card only saves you a whopping 50 cents, so it does not seem to be a large deal. OK on this trip, I stayed away from the bar and had no pancakes. The potatoes and eggs were both improved and the whole meal really almost felt like a normal breakfast except that I was dining at 10pm. For $ 3.77 out the door it really is a Vegas throwback, just like this casino.

If you’re on a budget and HUNGRY you can get big portions of food for less than $ 5 here, it’s better than going to Denny’s.
I came here for the $ 4.49 Steak and Eggs, which is available ²⁴⁄₇ unlike South Point and you don’t have to be 21 and over to get the deal BUT you’ll need the ACE PLAY card to get hooked up.
The Steak and Eggs were HELLA BOMB or was it because I was fucked up? Hmmm. The steak was noticeably bigger than the one in the Coronado Café in South Point.
Arizona Charlie’s on Decatur is closer to my apartment and my cheap hungry ass would sometimes wait till midnight to head over to South Point, which is like a 30 minute drive away. Even when times can get tough, I’d rather eat here than live off ramen noodles. I will be frequenting this place from now on and they also have $ 2 domestic draft beer and you don’t have to wait for happy hour!

This place is located in a pretty low end locals casino but with that said it’s a fun spot for a quick & hearty breakfast. It’s also super cheap! They have a fully stocked bar so having some cocktails with your breakfast is always a good idea. The menu has a little bit of everything but I think the breakfast options are the tastiest. Service is always great as well!
