| - Was in the mood for the cheap eats on the Strip and didn't want fast food ala McDonald's or whatever else that sucks tourists on a budget in, so we sauntered into the Victorian Cafe as recommended by some friends on Yelp. We had somewhat low expectations, but surprisingly, the food was pretty good and the prices even better. A low key restaurant located at the back of the casino had a very old fashioned vibe with their old red leather booths and knick knacks.
I was surprised that they had a bunch of Chinese food on the menu, but I didn't trust it so I opted for the open-faced turkey sandwich. This dish was basically Thanksgiving on a plate; tender sliced turkey topped with gravy on white bread served with delicious mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, and sage stuffing (which was actually quite good). There was even a small side of cranberry relish. While the bread was the weakest link, everything else was good. The boyfriend felt daring and ordered the sweet and sour chicken...surprisingly, these chunks of breaded fried chicken had a very crisp exterior, little breading, and a good chicken the breading ratio. It definitely beat out the quality you'd get at a chain like Panda Express. Not the best or more traditional dish, but if you're looking for some fried food to nurse that hangover, it can get the job done. Service was incredibly friendly (we had one sassy waitress) and the overall our light lunch was good enough for us to consider coming in here again.
