This is specifically a review of the Fremont Casino eatery... not the casino itself, nor the hotel.
I came in here to compare the advertised 99 cent shrimp cocktail to the famous but now hard-to-find $3 shrimp cocktail of the Golden Gate up the street. How could they actually give you a shrimp cocktail for $1? Too good to be true?
Indeed... It's two spoons of micro shrimp over cocktail sauce over shredded celery. Tasty snacking, but not the same as up the street... and the loose celery in your system will come back to haunt you, I found out later.
I also ordered a saimin, to compare to the grill in the Plaza up the street, and immediately regretted it when I saw them unwrap it and jam it in the microwave. All in all, the eatery is meh. Perhaps they're open crazy hours and they might be a godsend if you're drunk or stoned at 4AM with the munchies, but during normal business hours, you definitely get what you pay for... or sometimes even a little less. There's better stuff up the street.
