Running Creek Casino

Fun night here starting with our prime rib dinner which was delicious and we had a good server who also brought us drinks. On the way out I played a 10 cent machine and hit a sweet jackpot then we immediately left.
On Fridays, you can go to the buffet for 19.95 which includes prime rib or get the prime rib dinner for 9.95. I didn’t feel like overeating and making myself sick so we opted for the dinner.
The place looks like s big tent from the outside but doesn’t seem like that on the inside.

$ 10 for a prime rib dinner! It was well cooked and came with au jus, creamy horse radish, yummy veggies and potato of choice (I had a baked potato). It was a really generous portion, too. Service was friendly and quick. :)

Their slot machines break in the middle of play and they won’t refund you. Absolutely no decorum at all when it comes to how they handle their players. Save your money.

I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere, even though it’s in a casino, is really nice. The food is always consistently good. The prime rib dinner comes with fresh veggies and a side of potatoes or rice pilaf for under $ 10. Kid meals are $ 5 and sodas are free! You don’t pay tax. I love their chicken Marsala, their fresh garden salad, daily fresh made soup and their chocolate cake. The staff is always very friendly. Where else can you eat like this with two adults and a kid for around $ 30?

I will give zero stars for the Wild Fire Grill in this casino. My husband, brother in law and his girlfriend attempted to eat here on Valentine’s morning for breakfast. We were seated after 20 minutes though over have the place was empty, we then waited another twenty for water and to put in our order. Another hour passed by when I inquired about our order, it was brought immediately, well three out of four plates that is, it had been sitting under the light waiting for the fourth plate for about twenty minutes. My bisquits and gravy tastes similar to how alpo smells, my husband and the other girl with us ordered corn beef hash and eggs with hashbrowns. It looked like jerky and there were no hashbrowns, the fried eggs looked like a hockey puck. My brother in law never got his meal. The service was awful. The food was awful. I will not return to this restaurant.

Went in on a Friday night for the prime rib dinner and apparently the restaurant side doesn’t want your money. Tried adding an order of Caesar salad and was told you can’t add anything on. So you are going to refuse my money? Don’t expect much if you go here. They also took away machines and replaced them with even more of the cartoony penny machines. Never win more than $ 20 over what I spend, but mostly leave losing $ 20. I wish they would put in more nickel and quarter machines. Honestly, Robinson Rancheria has better slots, though the food is worse there. Come to Running Creek for the prime rib, then spend your money gambling at Robinson Rancheria.

Went looking forward to a buffet only to find out it’s just two days a week for a few hours. However, the prime rib special is a steal for only $ 10. Great service all over from what I saw. The casino is clean and there were plenty of machines to play. Blackjack was limited to one table on a Thursday night with people waiting for a seat. No poker to be found in the private three table poker room.

This review is about the restaurant Wildfire and the buffet on Friday nights — Not worth the time and defiantly NOT worth the money! Staff was nice. They now charge you extra for the seafood that used to be included in the price!!! So now you pay $ 20 for prime rib and $ 8 for 1 pound of crab legs. Which is about 2 oz. of meat!!!
Worth the money — NO!!!

Liking the «Wild Creek Buffet» for $ 19.95 an all you can eat in which includes «prime rib, coconut shrimp, made to order pasta, and host of fillers with a awesome desert menu this Running Creek Casino dining spot is full proof.
The set up of this dining experience earns it four stars, has nothing to do with the food whatsoever, once seated, one has to leave the dining room to gather food that I dislike.
A good friend has saying, «there’s crushing it, and there’s buffet crushing it»…
When Running Creek’n it… be prepared to face a mountainous portions…
Just remember this only available Friday nights from 5:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m.

We just went for Sunday’s Special: Prime rib steak for 8.95 and It was surprisingly good! The meat was tender, juicy and flavored. The mashed potato was creamy and delicious. The portion was big too. It was so good that I definitely will go back.

Been here a little over a year ago for the buffet and they had crab legs, korean short ribs, and shrimp cocktail. We also were served rolls at the table. However they only offer sad clams, mussels which were ok, and fried and coconut shrimp (can barely taste any coconut). As we were checking in I asked about the optional seafood tableside that they mention on their website and advertising for the buffet. I was laughed at and told they stopped that a year ago. False advertising at its finest. The buffet is filled with salads, pasta, some random asian food, the limited shellfish, and prime rib. For $ 20/​person it isn’t worth the money. The prime rib dinner is $ 8.99 and seems like the better option as the prime rib was the only good thing on the buffet and you get rolls brought to your table as well.
When we got up to grab another plate of food in an attempt to make the buffet price worthwhile they began clearing our table. We got back just in time before they were giving our seats to someone else! They finally brought over our place card to notify the staff that the table was still occupied.
The waitress was friendly and attentive which was a plus.
The casino is filled with penny machines and I couldn’t find any of the traditional one lined nickel or quarter machines which was disappointing. Only played a few machines before deciding to just cash out and leave, they weren’t giving out any wins enough to stay and play longer. They had non smoking machines but they were nearby the smoking allowed machines rather than in a separate room which defeats the purpose.
I’d only go back to have the prime rib dinner but not for the buffet or gambling.

Clean, well lit, very friendly employees and security. Happy and welcoming environment.
Bathrooms are super clean and well maintained. Sportsbar is great. Wildfire restaurant is 5star for Lake County, with excellent food, above n beyond waiters, great deal on prime rib and best pizza in county. by far.
For what it is and its size, its dialed in and perfect.

I don’t usually like casino food. One reason you have to walk through a smokey casino to get to their restaurants. I had my birthday dinner here with 3 others. It was a very good experience. The service was on spot, and moved forward from the greeting, the seating, the drinks, the order taking, the first course, the dinner and the dessert, with bread refilled and tea refilled in a on spot manner. GOOD SERVICE.
The meal I had the salad made from heirloom tomatoes and the mozzarella with balsamico and pesto was sooo excellent. Never have a enjoyed an appetizer. Caprese was the name. I had a Delmonico blackened Steak which was good and tasty as well. I had a thick piece of chocolate cake which was delicious as well. Not a lot of good places to eat in Lake County, so this ones a keeper. Will try it out again. i wonder if their buffet for seafood is good? Will have to give it a try.

Had dinner here tonight for the first time. It was very good. Our server Sue was great.

Good slot games here, the main complaint I would have is when they give you the perk «free cash» there are a lot of games you cant use it on, other then that had no complaints about this place, also won money on the slots here!

I went there for the first time to eat, i attended the grand opening and that was alot of fun. now i just had lunch with my cousin and we had a great lunch! I eat at great places and the calamari was probably one of the best ive ever had, the rib app was great as well were our salads. we’re going back to try the fried chicken and i;m taken my other half for the upcoming seafood buffet next week. thanks Running Creek and nice staff!

I agree with everyone who has submitted a review about the restaurant — it is awesome! The prices are incredible and what is even better is the quality of the food, impeccable presentation and friendly service. I have gambled here many times and everyone is friendly and the machines are up to date and new. I was there this past weekend and they were having great raffles as well and the casino was busy, but there was plenty of places to play. It also must have a good venting system because it does not smell of smoke like most other casinos. Can’t say enough good things about the casino. Definitely worth the trip!

This is a review of the Wildfire Grill inside the Running Creek Casino. I don’t know where they got their chef, but, they made one heck of a hire. The menu is very nice, with a good variety of fish, fowl, and beef, as well as some wonderful-​sounding gourmet pizzas. The quality and presentation of their food is outstanding! I chose the lamb chops, and they were fabulous.
The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. We highly recommend you stop in for a meal.

This is a review of the Wildfire Grill, which is the restaurant inside Running Creek casino.
I’ve been here a number of times already and was very pleased with each visit. They’ve got a nice menu that includes gourmet pizza, steak, fish and all the regular things you’d find at a nicer place. What you’ll be surprised at isn’t necessarily the selection, but the quality and the pricing.
I’ve gone and just had their $ 5 salad which, logic dictates, would leave me wanting a meal. Not in this case — the $ 5 salad had fresh greens, caramelized walnuts that tasted as if they had done them themselves and other treats that you would never expect for such a bargain. The salad is huge.
Lately I’ve been going for the $ 15 porterhouse steak which covers a good portion of the large plate. On the side are nicely-​prepared veggies and you get a bread basket too. The deal with this is that you get $ 5 in gambling credits with this steak reducing its effective price to $ 10. For a decent steak!
The restaurant doesn’t smell like smoke at all despite smoking being allowed in the casino and it’s beautifully decorated — probably the nicest looking establishment in the whole area. The staff is very friendly and is prompt and the restaurant is even open ’till 11 — that’s later than any other place in the county I believe.
The Wildfire Grill is absolutely worth a gamble, even if gaming isn’t your thing. I would call this a sure bet.

Opens May 25! Grand Opening Celebration on June 1^st!
