UPDATE: Had dinner at the Cafe another night (08/07/2024) Hubby had the turkey dinner and I had the prime rib (cooked medium). Cafe was a little busy but we did not have to wait long to get seated or have our order taken. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The food portion was just right. The prime rib crust was a bit salty for me but it was good. My favorite was the loaded baked potato. Turkey dinner was comforting. Only issue we had was the food was warm, would have liked it a little hotter. Had to eat it fast. We still enjoyed our meal and would recommend the Cafe for your next visit.

Came at around 9am on a Wednesday, and sat immediately. The waitress was very sweet and recommended the CFS, had she not recommended it we would've just split the biscuits and gravy, thankfully she did. To start, we had so got some pastries, the only one I tried was an old fashioned donut, the glaze was very sweet and had a lemony taste, however genuinely a very high quality donut for it being in a cafe. The biscuits and gravy were amazing. The gravy has a different taste to it, almost a chicken...ish? undertone. It's hard to describe, I enjoyed it but it's not your traditional creamy biscuits and gravy. I believe it was thinner, but not exactly runny. The taste is unique but different from a traditional B&G. The biscuits themselves were very light and fluffy, melting in your mouth. The chicken fried steak was the best I've ever had. It beats out Texas Roadhouse (if they hold a good reputation with CFS). The CFS was perfectly tender, breaded incredibly and the gravy complimented perfectly with the seasoned steak. The potato's were incredible as well, and the eggs appeared more than over medium but upon actually cutting them up, they were over medium. Overall, a very nice cafe feel to the place. Nice lighting and amazing service. Not to mention, food came out in literally probably 5 minutes?? Maybe 10? Or maybe we were just preoccupied with our delicious coffee and pastries to realize the time.

I went to the Thunder Cafe today for breakfast before my spa appointment. Edward was my server and he was phenomenal. Not only was he friendly, he was gracious and efficient. My drink order came out swiftly, he double checked that my order was correct and made the entire experience so enjoyable. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs for breakfast. It was all cooked correctly and seasoned very well. While the food was good, I still think that Mr. Edward is what made my experience beyond enjoyable and relaxing.

Food is pretty good. I tried the taco salad which was a pretty big serving size. We ordered to go since it was going to take more than 45 min to be seated. You can order the same menu from dine in to go. Be aware they do not call you name out when your food is ready. You need to check in with the staff to see if your food is ready at the estimated time they provide to you.

Came to Thunder Valley for a slot tournament. We usually eat at Thunder Cafe because of the variety of choices. It is a little loud but what do you expect in the middle of a casino. The food is great every time. Our server today was Thomas. We have had him before and he really is the best! He is very attentive and friendly. Always have refills on hand and makes sure the food is great upon delivery! Now for what was ordered. I personally love the chicken used for the quesadilla or nachos. Today it was the quesadilla and some friend zucchini. Hubby had the egg noodle soup with chicken and shrimp. He said it was really good. If you are ever in Lincoln, stop by to play. I always say play for the comps to buy the food! lol

Their desserts are a tad sweet side so I never really never care for them. But their fruit tart doesn't taste so bad. I always love ordering their sandwiches. They really taste good. Not dry and it has full flavor with the soft but crunchy pickle on the side. I love how they provide so much fries on the side. Very generous amount. It can really get U full! It's not so dry and has right amount of crunch. Their customer service is interesting... either they are aggressive with checking on you while U are about to eat, while U are eating or you get a server who barely checks on U at all and U have to raise your hand and get their attention at times. It's kinda wierd. I wish they weren't like that and have some kind of middle ground. Because I like not getting bothered while I am about to enjoy my meal, so I can enjoy with my mouth full of food but I also don't want to be neglected if I do need any extra assistance. I honestly feel mix emotions when I eat there due to their attentiveness w/their customer service. I think their front entry area is also the same. Waiting for awhile to finally get their attention to get seated or waiting awhile for someone to notice there are people at the front who want to get seated. For the bakery/sandwich area where U order to go, it's pretty fair customer service. I give them a 4 out of 5 stars as well. Their pretty good about providing customer service and also checking in on who is the next in line for take out.

This is always a good option for food when at Thunder Valley, whether stopping in before a show at The Venue, on a dinner break during a poker tournament, or at any time you are there. I like the breakfast options - and that some of them are available 24/7, because who doesn't like breakfast-for-dinner every once in a while. I get the Thunder Omelet and add a side of sals to go over the potatoes as well. There's a nice selection of Italian meals, and the pizzas are excellent. Plenty of burgers and sandwiches - the patty melt is my favorite - and there's weekly specials to give new things a try. The bakery and desserts case is always full of decadent choices, don't pass up on this!!

My mom was going to come to TVC to celebrate what would have been her 58th wedding anniversary (dad passed away in 2017). I offered to tag along and "reminisce" alongside her. Started the visit off with our usual brunch meal at the cafe, service was awesome (as usual) and food consistently delicious. I ended up ordering a pie to go at the front because we have company tonight. I believe his name is Matthew (that's what printed on the receipt but I've never asked), this associate is always so wonderful and friendly. The last maybe half dozen times I've been here, we have struck up meaningful conversation and he has made great recommendations etc. Thanks to him and our servers for making today extra special for us.
