Read moreThis was one of those visits where you and the missus are laying in bed and it's about 2 in the a. M. And neither of you can sleep and both decide that table mountain is too far to travel so 500 club be the next best thing.... Not exactly..... Looking forward to eating because I've heard the food there is rather exquisite so first thing I order: fettuccini Alfredo. To my disappointment, the waitress returns to inform me that they ran out of fettuccini Alfredo, yes, that's correct, THEY RAN OUT. I then proceed to order chicken strips, there's no way such an item can be absent..... WRONG! I'm now 0 for 2, it's not looking good for me... Third time's a charm, right? I decided to then play it safe and ordered a basic chicken sandwich that my 2 year old son could've made... Verdict: nothing special about it. On to gambling.. . I guess the gambling gods felt bad for my bad luck with the food they decided that they'd let me walk away with some change in my pocket. I sat down to play 3 card poker and it was my girl and I playing for the first time and an empty table. Some might expect a dealer with a unnecessarily rude disposition with little to no patience for a couple of noobs such as us.... Well let me tell you, not only was the dealer informative and more than willing to help us learn to play but towards the end he was actually rooting for us to win and win we did! I believe we walked away with about 200$ up. Aside from the bad luck on food choice, I'd say we had a fun, eventful evening and didn't have to go far for it. Like the new location (I know it's been here for a while but that goes to show u how long it's been since I've been to 500 club lol) highly recommend this place for any avid card mongers and for those of you that are slit machine fanatics, I suggest you not come here looking for any action cause it's clear those are absent from this monument to consumerism and is strictly a card based gambling temple. Will definitely be...
Read moreThis was my second time eating dinner here. Although I didn't really enjoy my meal the first time around, I will usually give a place a second go of it. First, it was as if we were invisible.. There were approx 4-5 wait staff congregated at the end of the bar, laughing and having a great time, meanwhile we couldn't get drink service, a menu, or eye contact for God's sake. It has to be 10-15 min before we were acknowledged. The experience went downhill from there. The service throughout the meal was awful. The first time I was here, I had the pork chops which were just ok.. This night I had New York steak, baked potato, veggies and a salad. The 6oz advertised steak, looked more like a 4oz, 2 of which, was 100% fat.. it was completely cold and blood rare. Secondly, the baked potato, which I was so looking forward too, was not only ice cold, (wrapped in foil)but it tasted so old and was hard... The butter wouldn't even melt. Very disappointed. The veggies were also very cold but ok. The green, hum drum, reg dinner salad, was the big highlight of the night.😳 My bf had biscuits and gravy, along with eggs etc. His meal was also ice cold, but he said it wasn't bad. Keep in mind, this is coming from a man who will eat cold, three day old pizza, and be happy. 😂I left so mad, and imagine that, hungry, as well.. Never again..I have never complained about any meal in my life, so know, I'm not being picky here at all. I told the waitress about our meals, and all I got out of that was an, "Oh, sorry". No compensation whatever. So many reviews are completely opposite of mine and that's a bummer bc I really was hoping the first time we went was just a fluke. MGMT needs to do something about the staff.. Very unprofessional and can be somewhat rude and short. The card room was a bit better.. The dealers were, for the most part,...
