Cafe Aquarius — Restaurant in Laughlin

We walked up, the only people in line. However, some customers were on their way out, and they had to pay before leaving. Unfortunately, the same person that seats you is the person that was checking people out. No problem, we can wait a minute. But then, another couple came up to pay, and then another, and another, as we stood there, me with my cane, waiting to be seated. She was very slow checking people out, and didn't seem to care one bit about us having to wait a long time. Finally about 10 minutes later, we were seated. There was an empty table with a beautiful view, and I had asked if we could sit there. She rudely said no, the table hasn't been wiped down yet and you would have to wait a long time. Just sit here, seating us at another table. We immediately ordered the $1.99 shrimp cocktails. They aren't too bad, but the shrimp are very tiny, little bay shrimp. The celery and sauce were good additions. She ordered a New Mexico style breakfast burrito while I ordered their $5.99 shrimp basket special. The shrimp were a little bit overcooked, and over battered. The hush puppies were nearly burnt, hardly edible. The fries were forgettable. There was a lot of gristle in the burrito, and the bacon tasted more like ham. Not terrible, but not great either. The interior was nice, I just wish we could have got a better view of the river. They didn't seem too excited that anybody was there, acting too busy to...

1/5 Stars for Cafe Aquarius in Laughlin – A Culinary Crime Scene Oh, Cafe Aquarius, where do I even begin? I walked in hoping for a cozy breakfast and a decent steak dinner later, but what I got was a plateful of regret and a side of existential dread. Let’s start with the steak—ordered medium-rare, it arrived so overdone it could’ve doubled as a hockey puck. I’m pretty sure it mooed in protest as I tried to cut it, only to realize my knife was fighting a losing battle against what felt like petrified leather. I asked the server if the chef was mad at cows, and they just shrugged. Iconic. The breakfast was a whole other tragedy. The eggs? Imagine someone tried to scramble them with a grudge—dry, rubbery, and somehow tasting like sadness. The sausage was a mystery meat so greasy it could’ve fueled a tractor. I took one bite and my stomach sent an SOS. The coffee was the only thing that didn’t offend me, but only because it was too busy being lukewarm and forgettable. The vibe? Like a diner that time forgot, with waitstaff who seemed to be auditioning for “Most Apathetic Service of the Year.” My water glass sat empty so long it started growing its own ecosystem. Save your money and your taste buds—eat literally anywhere else in Laughlin. I’d rather chew on my shoe than return to...

Filthy 🤢. The table was only half wiped down with a dirty rag. We watched it being "cleaned." The menus were visibly dirty and nasty to touch. Food was served on plates with dried on food from a prior meal (not ours). At first I told my husband it was just his juice from his steak. Once I went through several of my fries, I found a dried yellow smear of something like mustard. We had nothing around us that was yellow. While waiting, and waiting some more, I took a napkin and wiped at his plate. Nope, not juices. Dried crud and it was on over half the plate. His plate also had dried stuff on the bottom. My water glass had dried brown stuff on the inside and so did the replacement. We didn't finish and they didn't charge us. The food we ate wasn't great. The gristly thin steak was sort of properly cooked. The veggies seemed to be a cheap frozen overcooked rubbery mushy mess. The baked potato was okay, but very small. The french fries were actually awesome until i discovered the dried on yellow stuff under them. Our waitress was friendly, but the service was slow. Do not recommend and will...
