If I could rate lower I would! This place is overpriced and terrible service to boot! Our server, Cinthia, short Asian chick, glasses, poor attitude, bad body language, has to the worst server ever! She rushed us from the time we sat down, and got defensive when I complained about a cold appetizer. Not once did she apologize or thank us when we were done. In fact, we saw more of the busboy than we did her. We won't be back mainly because of her, but the prices are way too high for a place like that has poor service. You'd get better service at the Coco's down the street, seriously.

if you've ever been to Cornish Pasty in Tempe this place has that same shallow feel to it with diners pretty much sitting right next to the cooking ad the waitress having to turn sideways to get past the cook near the cooking area, which gives it a communal feel. It is not a big place, the counter has about 10 or 12 seats but it has a classic diner feel. The menu is limited but that also means one short order cook can service the whole restaurant. I also like that it has a mirror on the back wall which makes the place feel larger and they have these classic old bar stools and white diner coffee mugs that seem to the universal symbol of "hey buddy, you are eating in diner, deal with it!" I had a half order of the biscuits with sausage gravy and a side of eggs, scrambled. I found the biscuit to be wonderfully fluffy and not overly crumbly and the sausage gravy, I thought it rocked with nice large chunks of breakfast meat in the gravy. As for the eggs, they were good. I tend to like them soft scrambled, but you have to cook them slow and not really time to do that sort of cooking with one cook. Oh, and they provide a nice little side of fruit as well as a garnish. I had a few fresh raspberries, some thin slices of melon, as well as orange, which sort of livened up the plate and gave it some color. Things they might do better, instead of asking me if I want more coffee just fill the cup when it gets low. Maybe a personal preference but nice to always have the cup refilled, even without asking. In addition, the country potatoes are done in a fryer. I would recommend they do a batch cooked on the grill with say, some fresh rosemary and onions, like they do at Matt's big breakfast, it would add a more home cooked feel to that item and they could possibly rip out the fryers and do something else with that space. Once again, personal preference but something to consider. As Peggy mentioned in her prior review, probably not the cheapest place. I would say for breakfast, if you get coffee, you are looking at $12 to $15 with tip but the food is good and I expect it will be a popular local spot. I just don't think any other place on Mill has that classic diner feel so another success for Robbie Fox, who has transformed his section of just off of Mill into a pretty cool place. :-)

We like being a bit off the strip at this hotel. The rooms are spectacularly modern and comfortable. We particularly like staying in Palms Place for the more condo feel and just walk over to the main casino at the Palms. We always make a stop at Little Budda inside the casino and have gone to a hilarious comedy show as well. The pool is cool in that you can rent loungers above the main area that have little mini wading water just steps aside. Super cool. The deal was good to stay and we liked the chic decor. It's Vegas.

Really likes this place. Sure its a Casino and I really dont gamble or drink (at all). But I was meeting a friend that I had not seen in a couple of years with my wife and its at the halfway from where we both live so it made a convenient meeting point. Had a little trouble finding it inside as there are no signs but asking someone proved fortuitous and away we went. We met up, had some tea and hit the buffet. Great food. I had some Duck, Pasta, Spinach Salad, Prime Rib. Definitely went off my diet for this one. The place was spotlessly clean and the server super attentive. The only drawback is that we got a bit rushed out at the end of the lunch hour as they were setting up for dinner. Hey I hadn't seen my friend in years, lots of catching up to do. But all in all this is an excellent place for lunch and probably dinner as well if their lunch is any indication. Desserts were great, had a peanut butter pie that was fantastic. The food fresh and colorful with great flavor and not too many sauces or overdone. Do yourself the favor and try it out. Definitely worth the drive.
