Kitchen 44 — Restaurant in Newcastle

I occasionally go to Kitchen 44 with a friend who likes to spring for food for me, if I hang out with her whilst she gambles. So, what I have noticed over time is that the prices on the menu here keep rising, while the options gradually shrink. I mean, if I'm not mistaken, things like a chicken fried steak platter with two sides, run about $14.00, and the Chef's salad (which is what I typically get) runs about $9.50. The Chef's salad is nowhere near being worth that! On a trip to Kitchen 44 a couple of months ago, I got the salad, which, in my experience comes with three condiment cups of dressing. In this particular instance, I was given two of the cups of dressing, which, really wasn't going to be enough (and I'm not a huge user of dressing). So, I requested another of the cups of dressing, to which the guy behind the counter said "Sure, but I'm going to have to charge you for it". This hadn't been the prior practice, and I didn't want to have my friend - who was already being kind enough to get me the salad - absorb yet another needless cost, so I just told the guy to forget about it, and I went on to eat my - slightly drier, but good - salad. I didn't complain about what happened in this instance, simply because it would have been silly to do so, but I kept it in mind. And yes, I have been to Kitchen 44 a few times since...I get the salad, as usual, and guess what? I get three condiment cups of dressing EVERY TIME, without asking. The guy who was giving me a hard time about the dressing that night? I don't know, but I haven't seen him since. The bottom line being, that Kitchen 44 is a decent place to eat, as long as you can handle the prices for food that is basically diner-type fare, and if you can handle the occasional staff member who is a little on...

Located right inside New Castle casino...I was searching online for a new lunch spot for a date with my Love on a lazy Sunday afternoon and came across this place online not knowing that it was actually inside the casino... I'm not a smoker so I was hesitant that the restaurant would be smoky inside... But, they had a pretty good filtration system that did a surprisingly good job... The menu isn't large, there's still plenty of really good food choices. Homestyle cooking and super delicious!!! It was nice, we had a table to ourselves in the back corner... We ordered, found a table and someone brought our food out to the table when it was ready... I'm not sure if children can eat here because you have to walk through the casino to reach the restaurant... Do give it a try, you won't be disappointed......

Usually a great experience but this time the lady behind the counter, Lindsey, really needs to work on her customer service. She acted like she had no interest in being there and was getting visibly upset over some of the smallest things and was throwing attitude towards multiple guests before me. She got so annoyed that at one point when having an issue with a transaction she threw her hands up in the air and yelled for Sherrie and said someone needs to get up here. Sherrie came up and resolved the issue quite easily and it was an error on Lindseys part. If this girl is working the counter again the next time i am in i believe i will just walk out and leave as noone should be treated that way nor should anyone have to watch...
