| - Eating here is probably the worst decision you could make downtown, for a variety of reasons.
My wife and I went on a weekday near lunch and it was not too busy. We quickly placed our order and sat down. We ordered a sandwich, the American Breakfast, and some chili. Oddly, the American Breakfast was served almost immediately, while the sandwich took another 3-4 minutes to come out, and finally the chili another 3-4 minutes after that. What restaurant brings out food for one person and makes the other sit there for several more minutes for their food? This is not something a restaurant should do.
In any case, the amount of food you got is very small in comparison to what you pay. The $11 American Breakfast comes with what was either one extra large egg or two small eggs. The bacon was very small, super thin, and almost entirely fat -- you'd get better/more bacon on a McDonald's breakfast sandwich. On top of all this, they put it on a tiny plate and unceremoniously put your toast (which is unbuttered, and no butter is served!) on top of it. Want to put jam on your toast and still have it on your plate? Nope! See my picture for more details. $11 for this is a complete rip off. The sandwiches are a tad cheaper at $7-$8, but they come without tater tots and if you added them on ($3 for an order of 14 normal-sized tots) it is again overpriced.
The chili came with sour cream, for some reason, so neither of us would eat it. Pretty much everything else on the menu actually lists what comes with each item, but not the chili for some reason. The cashier never asked us if we wanted onions, cheese, or sour cream in our chili, but at least I'll accept that the former two items are standard additions. As of this writing a Google search for "chili" shows 230m results, while "chili -"sour cream"" gives 229m results. Yes, let's list the exact ingredients in a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich (bacon, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese), but not list the major components of the chili, one of which happens to be relatively rare. Seems like a good idea!
Although we haven't had all the menu items, a cursory look at other prices on the menu indicates they tend to be way too high. $3.50 for a soda, $3 for a bag of chips that can be bought from a nearby casino gift shop (meaning they're already overpriced) for less than half the price? From looking at the other reviews, I'm at least the 4th person out of 14 reviews that say the food is overpriced, and in some cases, outrageously priced.
Now that Las Vegas Club is closed, Golden Gate lost Dupars, and Mermaid's is gone, Plaza has more of a captive audience than ever before when it comes to hungry patrons, but this place fills absolutely no niche. Everything on the menu can be had cheaper & better at Hash House a go go, the coffee shop, Zaba's, Subway, or McDonald's -- all of which are less than a 60 second walk away and inside Plaza as well! Even if you do want a standard sitdown breakfast and didn't want to go to Hash House, you could walk over to Binions, Four Queens, The D, or Downtown Grand and get better food, more food, and cheaper food than here.
I like all of the food options at Plaza aside from Brightside. Given the type of food they serve and the poor service, poor quality, and poor value, I can't see this place lasting long unless major changes are made to the menu and prices.
