"I really wanted to like Jerry's Coffee shop, a relic family owned casino off the beaten path, I was hoping to find a hidden gem tucked away. \n Atmosphere I would rate at 3 (the smell of fried food lingering in the air just doesn't do it for me).\n Service was solid 5, our waiter was beaming with enthusiasm, was attentive and prompt. Cashier was a sweetheart and very polite. \n Now the food- that's where everything fell short. A solid 2.\n Prime rib specials at casino coffee shops aren't a novelty, Jerry's is no exception, offering up slabs of meat ranging in size and price. \n I went for $13.98 special 8-10 oz cut. You get garlic bread (don't eat bread, but it looked like garden variety buttered bread and my party didn't care for it), soup or salad (I went with salad minus dressing. It came out laden with cheese shavings. Doh!).\n You get a choice of rice, potatoes every which way or white rice. I wanted vegetables, so I looked through sides to see what's available, in case I could strong arm the waiter into loading my plate with broccoli instead of fries.\n No such luck. Only garden offering is listed as \"vegetable garnish\". I pictured twisted orange rind and wilted kale and deflated my hopes. \n I inquired anyway, and waiter politely told me no vegetables were permitted to find their way to my plate in lieu of potatoes. \n I went with fries, steak cut variety, completely unseasoned, by the taste of it. \n The meat itself was medium rare per my request, but had more inedible gristle and fat than I've encountered in prime rib at any other coffee shop or buffet in Vegas. I had to surgically remove easily half my portion to get to edible morsels. \n My party had steak and lobster special at $19.99 and didn't have anything outstanding to share about the meal either. \n Sorry, Jerry's, maybe other offerings on the menu are better (like Mexican or Greek sections), but prime rib was a flop. \n Not that I seek out coffee shop prime rib often, but Downtown Grand overs a nice cut at $9.99 with all the vegetables I want. No soup or bread, but I can deal. \n Don't see myself rushing back."^^ . "2"^^ . . "3"^^ .
