I don't know if it's just me but ever since they remodeled the cafe, the service has been quite bad. I've been jammed into a very small table which should be for one when I'm with another person, servers don't pay attention to the drinks when they run out, and you can't get anyone except for your server to do anything for you because "it isn't my table". They all have the look on their faces like they hate to be there and might get canned soon. I ate there and couldn't get my server to come back with my check many times, and nobody else will take my comps/coupons except for the server I had.

There used to be a manager that would always be there, older white guy but I haven't seen him around much. He probably was the glue that held the place together and maybe he left?

One the other hand service from a couple of the servers are top notch as ever. I can't remember their names but it's a young Asian girl and a Portuguese (maybe?) guy who are extremely good at keeping drinks full and letting me know about the updates of my food.

As always the food is cheap, good, and filling. I just wish they had more menu options as I eat there pretty much every other day, and the BBQ would be open earlier because I always miss it since I show up before it opens or after it closes. I recommend any Vegas visitor to try the BBQ at least once, I think they open at 4pm-11pm.

Also now I am hooked on their Root beer. Also free along with other beers if you are gambling at the bar.

Good stuff. I think its the Vanilla extract!
The Brewmaster's philosophy is to make beers that people like to drink, rather than all these microbreweries that brew exotic beers that tend to appeal to a narrow market.

And you can count on CLEAN delivery lines to the taps... the brewmaster holds the patent on the device that cleans them.



PS: I think the BBQ is 4 to 10. Not sure.

I think that remodel was prompted by a Closure Order from the health dept that really embarrassed the casino.

Hmmm..... Is the EI Café bad enough now that I should rescind a recommendation I gave to a friend who will be out in Vegas for the Memorial Day weekend ?
There's emptiness behind their eyes There's dust in all their hearts They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Tell him/her to wait for the BBQ to open at 4pm

Just went to the BBQ in a month or so, still great, top notch service, and ribs to die for. Avoid the karaoke bar during prime time, you can't pay people to stop singing.
