| - Melrose, contrary to what other reviews have said, isn't the only dinning option in Cowboys Casino. You can also eat at Zen 8 and the Center Bar, which offers you both Zen 8 and Melroses menu and is normally where I choose to eat. I work next door to Cowboys and often need to have a quick meal. Grasslands used to be in the corner where Zen 8 now occupies and was a cheap and fast food option that being the close neighbor of both The Stampede and The Saddledome offered somewhere you can get a fast meal before your event or for employee's who have a tight schedule.
I normally eat at Center bar for lunch when looking for a fast meal as I can order off Zen 8 menu or order something like 1/2 order of Nachos off the Melrose menu, which shouldn't take more than 15 minutes even when busy. The last time I will ever order anything from Melrose happened when granted the restaurant and Center Bar were busy, but I ordered before many of the other people around me. I prepaid at the Center Bar and most of the staff there are awesome, there are some exceptions but that is normal for anywhere. After seeing people served who still had menus when I ordered and it was approaching 35 minutes later I had to cancel as my lunch time was up. Luckily I was given Cowboy staff discount as I think they knew it was going to be a long haul, so didn't get screwed as bad as could of been. I wanted to look the cooks in the eye so went up to where cooks were and told them to cancel my order, I doubt he will care but I didn't have time to wait for a manager as they already wasted enough of my time. The money they made off me will be paid off by my telling countless customers who are looking for somewhere to eat that Melrose doesn't deserve a one star, you can't see the negative sign.
If you have time to waste, Melrose might actually be a good choice as two fellow employees got their drinks, 2 beers each, for free this past Friday due to lengthy service time. I value my time more than anything else so I won't order from them again and will negative advertise as much as I can to dissuade others from having their time wasted as well. I can remember when Melrose used to be a fun place to go and was the heart of the Red Mile, boy have they gone down hill.
