| - After a night of gambling, the BF and I decided to grab a bite to eat. Decided to come to the Grand Cafe as it was about 1ish in the morning and the oyster bar line was still out the door and not many food places open.
As you walk up to the entrance, you're immediately drawn to the desert case (okay? Maybe I'm immediately drawn to it, lol;p) filled with donuts, cup cakes, pies and more. We waited a few minutes and immediately seated at the bar.
The hostess handed us the menu, 3 different ones to choose from; a late night menu, simple breakfast and burger options which were really inexpensive, a Chinese menu and their regular menu. The gentleman took our drink orders shortly after we sat down as we looked through the menu.
The restaurant wasn't too busy but 10 minutes in, it started filling up and it looked like their were only 3-4 waiters trying to get everyone settled in.
A few minutes later, our waitress comes over to see if we had questions and to take our order. I ordered the Rueben Sandwich, Garlic Parmesan Fries and a bow of chicken noodle soup. My BF orders the fish and chips.
My soup comes out first, and it was actually pretty good. I loved the chunky noodles and veggies but What I loved most about this soup was that they actually had lots of shredded Chicken. I mean come on, I had lots of chicken noodle soup but no chicken, lol!!
Our entrees come out and they looked both very delicious. My Reuben wasn't too bad. What I liked was that they weren't stingy with the meat, lots of meat, and the sauce was good but I wish I had more. The bread was toasted on the top side and when I picked it up, the bottom side was soggy. Bummer! Which then made it a little harder for me eat because every thing was falling apart. Garlic fries weren't bad, but have I had better ones...sure I have.
My BF's basket came with 4 pieces of fish and about 6 pieces of fries shrimp. I tried a piece and the fish seemed a little mushy for me. He also wasn't too happy about it either and ended up having more of my sandwich.
As we were eating our meals, a delivery guy comes in with two stacks of boxes as tall as him. My BF and I sat there wondering, hmmm, what are those boxes? So we start naming off a bunch of things we think it is...so when we went to pay at the counter they had them on the counter and my boyfriend looks. He turns and says, Carl's Donuts?? I'm like what? Huh? No? So I look, and low and behold Carl's Donuts from downtown, score! We ended up getting 2 donut twist, chocolate Popper and a cheese danish.
Twist, good! Chocolate Popper, good! Cheese Danish didn't even give it a chance. By the time we got to try it, it was hard. I don't think the we got were the fresh ones.
Overall, staff was friendly but they seemed a little short handed that night. As for the food, I think that there are certain things that I will not be ordering, however, I have been here before and I know they do have better tasting menu items, so I'll stick to the ones I like.
