We came for trivia. The questions were fair and fun to answer and the host was efficient. Crowd was nice, but the service was some of the worst I have experienced. The road construction workers do the job faster than the servers here.

Decent for the price...just do t expect TOO much. That's the best way to be let down here. Cheap weekday breakfast is pretty darn good. Overall the food is fair, and the staff are mostly friendly. Beware of two things: Ordering over easy eggs, and expecting the dinner staff to give a F%@$! 30 minutes and counting to order a patty melt and there's 1 other table here...

This is a small cafe in the Pass casino. I came here Monday around 1pm, and got seated right away. If you are a Veteran, make sure to stop at the Players club and mention it. They have a generous discount program for veterans. Thank you for supporting our veterans in the community. We tried Bagel with lox and steak nachos. The food came out fast, and the portions were generous. For nachos, they use their chili. It was good and would have fed a family of four. Nothing fancy here. This is a place you want to stick with the diner staples. I would come here every week if I lived closer. This place has $3.99 breakfast special, you cannot find it any where. The Pass casino also has 50% off bar food on the game day. I have to come here to catch a game next time.

If you read nothing else, read this: They have the best cream of mushroom soup that I have ever had! Maybe the best soup I have ever had.We had signed up for the Pass Casino rewards and each of us got $10 towards food at Emilia's. Two of our group had Oct birthdays so they got an extra $20. We were allowed to all use them as a group of seven, which we appreciated the way they made it easy. I had the pastrami Ruben sandwich and my wife ordered the Rib-eye. My sandwich was great. I was glad I ordered the tots.Her ribeye was very well prepared. She had a baked potato and some green beans and of course that amazing soup at the beginning of the meal. The service started great when the bust person offered up water, coffee and other drinks. When our waitress came over to take our order, she was great and friendly. I can't wait to come back.

Service was HORRENDOUS and the "Manager" was spineless and useless. After waiting 15-20 minutes for a table, reasonable for 6:15 on a Saturday evening, waitress promptly greeted us and returned with our beverages and a dinner salad.Then it took in excess of 45-minutes and close to an hour to receive our orders of a Club Sandwich and a French Onion Salisbury Steak. No special requests. How long would it have taken if extra mayonnaise would have been requested on the sandwich?To add insult our meals were brought out on the same large tray with meals ordered by a table of 4 that was seated 20-25 after the same waitress had taken our order.Save your time and money and go elsewhere - runaway fast.Would have identified the staff by name but neither waitress or Manager introduced themselves by name.

They offer a nice dining coupon for veterans, I stopped in for breakfast alone, The atmosphere is very comfortable, staff is smiling & you can feel the happiness as you are greeted with a friendly smile. I ordered a basic breakfast it was cooked to my perfection I was happy to get crunchy bacon not dripping in oil (was perfect) my meal was scrumptious, I will be back a local fan now!

The service is very slow. It took about 5-10 minutes until the hostess/cashier acknowledged us. Then, it took another 10-15 minutes until our server took our order. My chicken and waffles were good, but not worth the wait. My husband ordered a corned beef sandwich. His bread was cold. We probably won't be eating here again.

Not open 24 hours anymore. Closes anywhere from 9-10pm. They're adding rooms to the casino, good luck with that!
Diner style place with quick service and friendly staff. Cheap and cheerful

Came to this wonderful place this evening. I was greeted with friendly staff who helped me select my pizza. I ordered a Sicilian cut "who's your papa" gourmet pizza with banana peppers. All the ingredients are fresh. I was amazed watching the owner create this delicious meal. For dessert I will have the tiramisu which is only made Friday-Sunday. My new go to place for quality pizza. Awesome staff!!

Headed out to Emilia's for the first time to get some breakfast and was extremely impressed. It's located in Old Town Henderson on Water St. inside the Pass Casino.Restaurants are getting so expensive these days and yet Emilia's remains extremely reasonable compared to other diners/breakfast joints.We had the Corned Beef Hash, and Ham Steak breakfasts. (All come with Eggs/Hash Browns/Toast). The CBH was "canned style" but was crisped up and delicious and NOT greasy which was a welcome change from other places. (Nothing worse than ordering CBH and having it arrive soggy and served in a pool of grease - yuck!). Not here though - prob some of the best "OG" CBH we've had, to be honest.My bone-in ham steak was advertised as a full pound and it truly was a generous portion. I don't typically order this and please don't tell my mom (I'm Jewish and it would kill her) but I was happily surprised to note that it had both the delicious char taste and marks from the grill and more importantly, it WASN'T salty!!!My over-medium eggs were on point, and my daughter's scrambled were remarkably buttery and light. Those are definitely the "go-to" next time. I might order the hash browns a bit crispier next time but they were fine.Great, friendly service, and TRULY an excellent find.So why the 4-stars and not 5 you might ask? Well, I know it's not the restaurant's fault per se but if I'm being dead honest, the entire casino/restaurant reeked of smoke. Not the worst ever mind you and on the scale of 1-10 where being completely smokeless is a 1 and Frankie's Tiki Bar is a 10 (as in, smells like they haven't changed their air filter in 40 years), Emilia's and the Pass Casino come in at about a 4-5 in terms of ashtray ambiance. Definitely not the worst, but very noticeable if you're sensitive to such things. Will definitely be back though - overall, it was a great experience, and so nice to pay around $30 for breakfast for two (with drinks) when so many other places are in the $40-$50 range these days.

Emilia's Cafe inside the Pass Casino on Water Street is a hidden gem. I understand every situation is different, but I have no complaints. Host, waitress who got my drink, waitress who took my order, and a gentleman who refilled my drink, were all so pleasant. Great customer service! I ordered iced tea, the Chicken and Waffles, and the Jackpot breakfast. Yeah I was hungry. The Chicken and waffles had bacon bits that went perfect with the syrup. Sweet and salty combination is always a plus! The Chicken was fried to perfection. The scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy, the bacon crispy, just how I like 'em, and the hash browns and sourdough toast were a delight. They have a great selection of food, and were pretty busy when I was there. One added bonus I didn't expect, I played in the casino, and got a $10 coupon for the restaurant, so when I gave them my players card and the coupon, they deducted the rest of the bill using my points (which I didn't even realize I had). So basically I got a wonderful meal at a very inexpensive price (I did end up breaking even in the casino, so that's a win for me ?). Can't beat that!!!

Diana is So Awesome!!! We walked in tonight and she knew our order by heart! We don't go there a whole lot so for her to remember us and our order and our extra bacon says so much. Shout out for excellent customer service!!! The food here is great and it is reasonably priced.
