“Stopped in for a late lunch and witnessed the GM, Philip, handle an erratic and aggressive customer with calm and utmost professionalism. He apologized to us for the incident, although clearly he was not responsible for that person's rude behavior. We had delicious sandwiches and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. We WILL be back!“

“My wife and I just moved here from Dallas, TX now living in Carlsbad, we purchased tickets to see Killer Queen tonight, we got to the Casino early to have dinner and sat at the bar at Rank and File, the service was fantastic, super friendly staff and attentive. I believe the bartender nick name was Avi or Avaranza? Sorry can t remember anyway super nice and took outstanding care of us. His recommendation which we took was the Pot Roast and my wife tried the Cheeseburger along with a few Woodford on the Rocks, everything tasted fantastic and honestly better than we thought it would be at a casino! WE Will Be Back Again! Thanks for great service and food.“
