| - This review and rating pertains only to DuPar's Deli in the rear of the casino. Apparently DuPar's now operates all the food service at the Golden Gate Casino. The snack bar had long been famous for its 99ยข shrimp cocktails. A couple years ago the price went to $1.99. It's a decent size shrimp cocktail served in a glass sundae cup with a tangy seafood cocktail sauce. The shrimps are small and bland to the point of being almost tasteless. But then, how can you complain much when you're paying only two bucks?
The shrimp cocktail is certainly the big draw here but the snack bar, now Dupar's Deli, does have more to offer including a small selection of sandwiches. So I wander in after midnight when most of the decent eateries are closed and order a coned beef sandwich on rye. I see the deli guy at the counter take a clump of cold, pre -sliced corned beef and drop it into a small vat of heated water. Now everyone knows that if you put any cured meat into hot water, the flavor is leached away and diluted into the water. I should have just walked away but I was hungry and didn't want to search for another place to eat. Then I see the deli guy slabbing some mustard on the rye bread and I tell him to go lightly. That doesn't stop him from inundating the bread with more mustard.
Finally, he asks me what I want to drink. I tell him '"water, just a glass of plain tap water". He then tells me that local health department rules prevent them from serving tap water to customers because of contamination and pollution issues. That's why they can only offer bottled water. I respond by telling him that nearly every other restaurant in the city serves plain tap water to their customers upon request. And besides, I'm sure if the local water supply was contaminated, they wouldn't be permitted to use it for cooking, dishwashing or any other culinary purpose. He shrugged his shoulders and told me, "I'm just an employee here. That's what they tell me to say."
For $8 the sandwich was crap, Just like the line of crap from the deli clerk. It's really my own fault for not walking away when I saw the amateurish way they prepared the sandwich. But there is no excuse for a business that instructs its employees to lie to the customers.
I've stayed here, dined and gambled here in the past. But this time, Golden Gate, you really left a sour taste in my mouth.
