Worst meal I've ever had at Empire grill! My steak was paper thin so no way I could even get it medium rare. Absolutely no taste even after adding salt and pepper. I was so disappointed! My daughter had the special and it was so over cooked the chicken actually snapped in half! And to top it off waiter dropped off our food and didn't come back once till he brought the check. When we complained we were told there was nothing he could do about it. I fell like the past few times have been sub par food. Please do better!

Good food fast.. I love Calvin, the cook! He’s been there forever. He knows exactly how I like my food and he’s so nice. I wish they still had the chili cheese fries though.

This place has good food at great prices! The staff is nice and offer great service. Only complaint is their coffee is terrible. It has that burnt acidic taste.

The only reason I’m giving this restaurant 2 stars instead of 1 star is because of the excellent wait staff. We didn’t have to wait long at all for our food or drink orders, and our drinks will refilled before we even realized that a refill was needed.
On the other hand, the food was sadly under par of even cafeteria food. The menu suggested entrees come with a dinner roll and vegetable upon request. I asked our waiter what the vegetable was, expecting a choice of a medley or a green vegetable, but his response was “corn.” Corn? That’s it?
When our food came out I noticed that my husband’s mashed potatoes were smooth, perfectly white, and in a perfect ice cream scooped plop. Flashbacks of grade school came to the forefront of my mind.
Then, I took a bite of my salmon. It seems that the restaurant was contracted with the Gorton’s company, because my salmon looked and tasted an awful lot like the Gorton’s frozen salmon that I used to buy for myself during my college days. And the word “awful” is used purposefully.
As for the atmosphere, I have to admit that the booth we sat in was really comfy. Unfortunately, the stench of hard living too easily wafted in from the casino.
Finally, the payment. Again, our waiter was on the ball with the check, which we very much appreciated. However, don’t be fooled. Just because the food was inexpensive doesn’t mean it was a good value. I would have gladly paid more for better quality food.
Maybe breakfast would have been better?

Not kid friendly. Even though google says it is

Kid-friendliness: NOT kid friendly, as you must be 21 to enter the building (including the diner).
There's no more "legendary" cheap good breakfasts here, they send everyone away and don't even open til 1000 or something now.....huge waste of my time!! 👎
Parking: Almost impossible to pull a 40ft Class A in and out of there, insane curbs everywhere, five point turns necessary to get yourself back out, and the only large enough spaces to maneuver in and out of and park, are all blocked off with Handicapped, about twenty of the spaces, which go completely unused for the most part, bad location, bad parking for some driving a full sized vehicle 💯👎

It reminds me of how I remember restaurants when I was young. The price of drinks are pre-pandemic. (Under 4 dollars for coffee and soft drinks)

Food was fine for the price. The atmosphere felt dated, but I don't know if that's intended, it could be.
The service was mediocre, and the woman who seated us had an attitude. Because of these things, I searched reviews while sitting in the restaurant.
This is a reply I came upon by the owner. It is incredibly unprofessional, but the vibe matched the owner's attitude on the reply. It's rare to see businesses talking down to its customers, but this one has no problem with it.
Not recommended.

Obviously, to get to this location you have to pass through a casino that smells like giving up on life. The food is typical dinner fare, which was what we were after, wanting to experience this post of Americana. However, the staff were extraordinarily kind. One wanted to stay there despite the odd odors just to enjoy the company of these lovely people. I'm not being sarcastic (well, the last sentence).
