I honestly don't think this place is as bad as everyone says....granted I came here out of desperation as I was trying to recover from the most hideous hangover. BUT on other occasions I found it not to be so bad as an MGM guest. Let me explain...
Visits 1 & 2: Had a $50 food credit as an MGM guest soo after a night out at Studio 54 and a pretty good buzz, the philly cheesesteak sandwich & the fajitas were a gift from God...it totally helped that we didn't have to pay for them. But really...they tasted good.
Visit 3: Recovering from the worst hangover. My bf & I were staying at the Signature and by principle would not order from room service bc everything was over $20 practically. So I dug deep and mustered the strength to go down to the MGM Grand to get some dinner. I wasn't in the mood for anything in the food court so I decided to go to Studio Cafe. I ordered the club sandwich, chicken noodle soup, & orange juice which came out to around $26. I must admit it on the pricey side which I whined about for 5 minutes to myself. But the food wasn't that bad. The Club sandwich was pretty legit and was more than enough to feed one person. It took me 3 meals to finish the whole thing so I was pretty happy overall. Didn't try the chicken noodle bc it was for my bf...but I assume it did its job.
All in all...not a first choice by any means. BUT if you are staying at the MGM and need some takeout or don't want greasy fast food then I would say you should at least take Studio Cafe into consideration.
