Sterling Spoon Cafe

Been here several times over the years.
I can’t complain with free food and good service.
It just depends when you get in.
You never know what type of crazies you’ll run into as this place tends to attract them– probably because of the price point.
I enjoy their deuces wild deal which is only $ 2.99 with a players card. It works well for me when I receive a dining credit and free play.
Servers are fast and friendly and the place is clean.
I’ll be back for sure.
Thanks for keeping me fed and providing great food at rock bottom prices!

I came here twice during my trip and the service was awesome but what really caught my offguard was this black woman waitress named keai (I think that was her name). She was working the whole floor and provided us with the best customer service I have ever gotten at a diner. It was 3 am but she was working hard. She even gave us to go cups of water because she said the desert air can dehydrate you. She is a angel and should be recognized for her amazing work

I will never go back to this place ever again after seeing a cockroaches running around and jumped on my friend. Food is cold which o ordered prime rib and baked potato. The only best thing that we got was the bread rolls. We notified the server about the cockroach and said. Oh yeah it’s cleaning day tmrw. What cleaning day tmrw.

The fact that I can’t give this place 1 star us unacceptable. Where should I start? How about with the 3 inch long cockroach that walked pass the ledge? When we told the server his response was «oh today is cleaning day». I guess this cockroach is acceptable then. Then this fearless SOB crawled up my leg causing me to do a jig in the middle of the restaurant.
The prime rib which was advertised by the waiter as «fresh» was completely over cooked, past well done, and had less flavor than a piece of leather. The baked potato was so cold that after 5 minutes of letting the butter sit on it, the butter was actually harder than when I put it on the potato.
This place is a joke. I’ve never been more disappointed in a meal decision in my life. None of the employees here care which now makes sense as to why the food tastes like $h’t.
I wish I would have eaten the cockroach now, probably would have tasted better than the crap they served me.

Ok after coming here for years out last day in Vegas for breakfast on the way out of town I think we are done. After it changed from Terribles to The sterling spoon, the service is horrible. As we waited to be seated and watched the hostesses cleaning tables completely ignoring us. I asked to be seated. I was told were cleaning tables right now. Mind you there were many open tables available. Finally she seats us we wait for another 15 for a waiter to take our order. The food is not as good as it was before. No more good biscuits and gravy now it’s like two small biscuits. Instead one large one that use to take up the plate oh for the same cost. By far the rudest folks I have met in Vegas as servers. You have to walk through a wall if smoke to get upstairs, that they try to cover with cheap perfume.

Rgis restaurant is inside of silver seven casino off the strip. It’s a small casino but they have all the ammendaties. I like coming here to eat. Foods are generally cheap but really good and big portions. Definitely worth your money. And they open 24 hours. Good breakfast at thrifty price.

I used to come here all the time for the late night specials, however things change and sometimes for the worse. We decided to stay because they already took our drink orders. The whole entire menu changed. Steak and eggs is $ 12.99 and most definitely not worth it. Head over to Tuscany’s café next door to get your steggs fix for less than $ 5. I ordered French toast and it was a great size but it came out cold. My boyfriend got the steak and eggs anyway because I told him they had great specials and since it wasn’t there anymore I felt bad, so I told him to get it anyway. Not that great either. You can head to south point’s café for steak and eggs for less than $ 5 too. Plain and simple, the food isn’t worth the price. Wouldn’t be coming back here anymore, sorry! Nothing great about the selections.

It’s 4 AM, you and your buddies (hopefully not driving) are worn out, tired, a little drunk still from the club, and are looking for a great place to grab a bite. Well sterling spoon café is the best place to head to.
I found myself in a similar situation with my pals and we saw some kind of advertisement that said «$ 5 steak and eggs».
All 10 of us went there at 4 in the morning and all ordered it. Such a great place. Simple, delicious, and convenient.
On top of all that, despite all of us being a little half drunk, and semi-​loud and obnoxious trying to figure what the hell we were doing/​ordering, the staff was very very friendly and actually quite fun as they were joking in with all of us.
This will forever be my «after party/​after club» spot in Vegas.

Disappointed… we came in because we saw a huge billboard advertising $ 5.99 ½ lb. burger and endless fries!!! When we tried to order it, the server said «we no longer have that special»!!!
We mention that it’s still being advertised outside and throughout the property!
She said, «yeah but you can’t order anymore»!!!
Ask to speak to a manager, but she claim no one was available.
We decided not to order the burger special and went with our standby order of the deuces special. $ 2.99 pancakes, eggs, and bacon!

Cheryl our server great.
Management is trying to fix the issues.
No, I don’t work for them. I just have a… «history,» long and storied.
We’ve been coming here for years.
This was a café at the old terrible’s and when they switched the ownership to the new silver sevens, many corners were cut and the quality took a deep hit…
They switched management and the current manager moved from the Harley Davidson Café to here.
After the kitchen overcooked our steak three times in a row, the manager completely comped us and asked for another chance.
Today we were surprised.
The menu? Focused on America’s style food. No more Mexican or Chinese.
What’s there is better quality though, and we realized they nailed our food perfectly this time.
Cheryl Coleman was great too and made sure the steak was done correctly as well as checking on us several times.
The funny part is she gave us a card asking for a review while I was typing this. They want me to put a review on their site but Unilocal is above all where most look so I’ll put one here instead.

Been coming here for the last 12 years since it was Terribles Hotel & Casino. It has been going downhill ever since, and now it’s a TRAVESTY!
Here are the IMPORTANT points to know before EVER considering this establishment as a food option.
1) They got rid of their Chinese & Mexican food menu items completely.
2) They increased their menu prices effective January 2016 by 30%; and decreased their portion sizes by 50% effectively at the same time.
3) Their food now tastes like garbage low grade DOG FOOD.
4) No longer does the NEW management give a care about their customers whatsoever!
5) If you complain about your food or service experience, expect a loud and embarrassing visit from their SECURITY staff. I witnessed two different tables on different visits get accosted simply for being upset over their food and service received. Their security officers are not only loud and abusive, they will threaten you right out the door!
6) It’s truly a shame that such an originally fun and tasty restaurant; has now become center stage for providing SUB-​STANDARD service & food.
7) BEWARE of the newer manager during days, as he will talk about customers behind their backs.
8) If you are looking for a good dining experience with fantastic food and value, head over to Marilyn’s Café at the Tuscany Hotel or Ellis Island Café; as they are both just a short walk away from this DUMP!
Note to Silver Seven’s Management: If you want this restaurant to ever come to back to it’s former glory. I suggest that you look back to when it was the «Bougainvillea Café» under Terribles management. At that glorious time, this restaurant was always FULL of customers, had fantastic food, service & value along with a HUGE menu. It also had great Chinese & Mexican food menus with extensive options. The ONLY way you will succeed moving forward is to go back to your ROOTS! Otherwise, you may wish to consider simply CLOSING your doors and making your entire upstairs one GIANT LOW VALUE BUFFET instead. ALL of your REGULARS are officially now GONE & will NOT be back! Good luck with that!

Overall, this review is only on service due to a horrible serving experience. If I could I would give this place lower than ¹⁄₅
Service = ⁰⁄₅
Coming here on a weekday there were hardly any customers but service was still slow. We were seated quickly, but the time it took before we ordered was about 10min, and there were only two other tables, with only parties of 2. After they took our orders, we than sat at our tables for 30 minutes only to have a waiter come out and us one of the items we ordered is «out of stock.» I understand that you can run out of items, but it takes you 30 minutes to relay that message to us??? Whether or not it was a miscommunication between the waiters and the chefs, that’s elementary basic bull**** that shouldn’t happen at all. Not only that, we had the grace of watching other parties come in and get their food served to them as we continued to wait.
Now after waiting one hour nothing has come out, and there’s not even update on our food? Yah, I’m done with this place. You can take your «finished food» for however good it tastes and give it to your God damn shitty waiters and chefs. No diner or patron should ever have to experience a wait that long for some basic diner food.
From reading the other reviews here on Unilocal,it seems like the manager is trying to «help» well, I hope that manager is actually doing something because as far as I know, that manager is doing a horrible job if service is mentioned several times in other reviews and it’s only saving grace is the cheap food for when people are hung over.
Save your money, go elsewhere, unless you’re here for cheap hung over food because it seems like that’s the only reason to go to this place.
Food = Can’t even score.

Steak sandwich 3 stars. Would order again. Patty melt 4 stars. Service: waited 4 minutes no greeting to be seated. Drinks, gal forgot. We had to get up and ask after 10 minutes then she forgot half. Server– no Hello just ARE U READY TO ORDER. SHE a as pretty efficient. Atmosphere dark, basement feel. Watched 3 dirty tables sit our entire time (hour) while most staff chatted.

We came here after seeing advertisement for T-​bone steak dinner for $ 9.99. The catch was to sign up for players rewards card. I saved $ 3. We came on Christmas day and it was busy. The food came within 15 minutes and no problems. The steak was everything as advertise and expected. It came with my choice of vegetables and mash potatoes. My partner got the chicken fried steak with salad and mash potatoes. This place caters to a older crowd. Also sort of old school type of place.

$ 3.00 bud light bottles, excellent crispy French fries and a good sized juicy veggie patty burger. I have no complaints. Service was at a very good pace and the servers were friendly.

Came for breakfast and ordered the Deuces Wild special: 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and choice of 2 bacon or sausage. I chose bacon. Pancakes were fluffy, bacon was crisp and my eggs were cooked to my specifications. Coffee was better than expected. It could stand to be a little stronger, but at least it was not too weak. Overall, I had good service, decent food & coffee all for a great price! I will be coming back to Sterling Spoon Café! I came back less than a week later & tried one of their burgers. Not the best burger, but it was still good n juicy! The crispy fries were not disappointing at all! I tried their chicken tenders which came served with crispy fries, carrot & celery sticks with ranch dressing to dip. They were decent, but the strips are a decent size so I got full off of two chicken tenders and took the rest home.

I’ll start saying the positive, the promotion for steak and eggs was really good, the food was just what I expected. And then, the service was slow, it took a long time to take the order, the server was a nice person but I just think he choose the wrong words, because when I ask to change the hash browns for French fries he said «that’s why the food is just 6 bucks you can’t change anything». For me that was just bad. I ask for a cheesecake and I think is really overpriced, 7 $ for a piece? That’s too much.

My wife and I go to this café fairly often despite our first visit was rather a distasteful visit. I’ll start by saying the positive, the food and prices are worth the visit. At the price yo pay you get a great meal that is cooked to order. Very good.
But overall the wife and I stared noticing a common factor to our visits there and we have the bad experiences. The manager on duty. When he’s on duty the staff working that shift seems like they have no training or procedure.
Tonight the wife and I went there and the hostess was nice and friendly but moves like a snail and takes her time when setting the tables and coming back to seat the next customer. It took long enough I was not sure if I wanted to stay and wait. And when you do get seated and order your drinks don’t count on seeing the drinks for about 5+ mins. When the bus girl came out with the drinks she obviously did not know her table numbers or short term memory may be a factor. She came to us and asked if we ordered drinks yet. I said yes, we’re waiting on two pepsi. She replied, oh, these are yours then. No biggie, we thanked her and left it alone.
After that we noticed that the 3 girls that were seated and ordered after us got their food first… well at least 2 of 3 plates. The third girl had to wait… quite a long time cause it was after we got our food and was a ¼ ways into our meal. Doesn’t seem efficient and rather not good service. I think people go out to eat together, not separately. Now our burgers come with endless orders of their really good fries. But when I ordered my next round the table behind us got them even though the lady asked the bus lady why was she getting another order. Again, they did not know the table numbers.
Finally I asked the waiter where the fries were and asked for the manager. He came back with the fries and walked off like everything was fixed, so I reminded him again, where’s the manager. Not gonna lie, I did use the f word when having to ask again, my bad on that one. Finally the manager came as I was paying the bill and my wife told him I asked for him and I was paying the bill, she said he walked off mumbling. Unprofessional. When he did approach me he was very defensive. So I told him all I need is his name and the server’s name. He asked why and I told him every time he’s on duty we have bad experiences. I then again said I just needed his name. He ignored it and diverted again rebutting with his defensive side say, «Oh, so like that? Don’t give me the opportunity to correct something, just straight to corporate?». I said yup. ***Note: You want to correct the customer’s experience, answer his question the first time to give the customer a sense that you are capable of listening first.***
He still did not give me his name. Once he realized that I was not willing to talk to him he asked if I would like to speak with anyone else, perhaps security. Now keep in mind besides my low key quiet and calm voice using just one abusive word the whole time I was calm and quiet about everything, now he threatens security? I’m trying to figure out on what grounds did he feel that was justified. In either case they were not called when I replied, «And for what reason do you fell I need to speak with security for…» I paused, looked at his name badge and called him by his name then looked into his eyes awaiting for his answer. That was a wrap on him. He left. I still went and left a $ 2 tip, the minimum I feel anyone should get even on bad service. And I left. But I went back to get the cashier’s name since she witnessed his pathetic attempt to be intimidating. As I approached the manager was talking to her. Now instead of making a second attempt to correcting his mistake, he walked off before I made it to the counter. Sad.
In conclusion, the food and prices are great. On days this manager is not on duty the staff and service is a good 9. Worth a visit, just don’t expect the service to be what it should be. Sorry, but I do not mention names as this is not personal nor would I directly attack someone and they are not present to defend themselves or tell their side of the story.

The steak was flavorful and tender. The baked potato delicious with lots of butter and sour cream. The salad was fresh and crisp, and the ranch dressing very good. The roll was warm with soft butter

The worst service ever! The waitress did not provide correct information regarding menu options, and when we questioned our bill, the supervisor thought it was a great idea to argue with us, raise his voice, and make a scene. This was our first time there, and we will never come back. If I could give a negative rating, I would!

I don’t like waiting this long for my «perfectly» cooked New York strip. Sit time until now is creeping up on 35 – 40 minutes. May change review after food comes out if it’s delicious. So far I’ve had cold rolls, dirty plates, and coffee that taste a bit old. Hey it’s Vegas maybe I should be drunk right now to not care. The only thing I like is the seemingly nice waiters and waitresses, but it doesn’t change the fact I’m hungry.
Updated: grossly undercooked eggs. Yolk runny egg whites just as runny, New York strip came out dry and overcooked, and my favorite thing I ate was the country fried steak that my friend let me have a bite of. Waiter was fantastic w/​what he had to work with. Just a sad night eating this food I hope I don’t get sick.

Unlimited fries. 5.99 burger? When you’re thinking cheap and greasy, look no further.
Not the most dignified; but that’s not what you were after anyway is it?. This isn’t your typical yuppie tourist joint, however it is just a block removed from the strip and can help make up for all that loot you lost :-)

I am still salivating over the prime rib! I dined here because my cousin saw this place had AYCE fries when you order a burger, which according to him was delicious. His girlfriend had AYCE spaghetti and meatballs which was ok. The service was great, our server was awesome, prompt and friendly, he even spoke Spanish (he didn’t look Latino). Sadly I do not remember his name.
Finally got to order the prime rib (medium rare) with coleslaw and onion rings accompanied with aus jus which was so rich and dark. The prime rib was thick cut, at least 1 inch thick, it was huge. I can only imagine the 14 oz! I started to cut the prime rib it was so tender and when I took a bite it was like butter. So tender and tasty. The best I’ve ever had! The coleslaw was missing something which I can’t pinpoint but was a bit tart, hinting some sort of horseradish taste. The onion rings were delicious, crispy, but juicy at the same time. Props to the cook who made the plate of heaven!
And let’s not forget the price, $ 12.99! You will not find that in L.A. sadly, totally recommend it and the t-​bone steak and hamburgers. You will not be disappointed. I wasn’t so I came back the next day not knowing if I would get the same quality as the day before, but it was the same! Well worth the second visit.

I can’t believe I have not posted this restaurant before. It is one my go to places whenever I am in town. I love the old Vegas style midnight «breakfast» or not deals. When the kids were younger, they loved coming here because they had the option of a rack of spare ribs, NY Steak or a Sirloin all for $ 9.99. I dont think they have that special anymore but they had a half rack of ribs and chicken wings for $ 7.77 posted on the marquee.
Really, I like the breakfast specials. I think they call it the Deuces wild for $ 3.99 if you are not a player card member, $ 1.99 if you are. The waitress’ there are awesome. Everytime! I forgot our gal’s name but she wanted to know if we wanted ToGo cups for our coffee. She is like that every time we come. The other waiter/​waitress are great too.

This is a great spot if you are trying to save money, but would like some delicious food! We stopped in here after a fun night out in Vegas (great hangover food). You can order a lot of food and not spend more than $ 10.00. They have a variety of options too. The biscuits and gravy were delicious and bacon was cooked to perfection. I ordered the melon of the week, Cantellope, and it was not very sweet… But it happens. The service was great — our server was very attentive.

Perfect hangover breakfast. Vegas knows how to treat it’s patrons right!
Food was a little greasy, but that was kind of the point of the breakfast.
Price was perfect. $ 2.99 for bacon, eggs, and pancakes? My kind of meal!

I’ve had years of experience with this place. Don’t let two stars fool you, I love this place. I don’t love the place because it has amazing food or great customer service. It’s because every time I come here, it’s an experience. There are a ton of wack jobs that come here. I have to give it two stars because it’s not a good restaurant, but it’s a fun experience.
I was used to this place when it was the Bougainvillea (sp?) café when the casino was still Terrible’s. The main draw to the restaurant back then and still to this day are the midnight special. You can get NY steak and eggs for $ 6. You can’t beat that. You really can’t. One of the few places that are still doing consistently cheap dinner and late night food. The NY steak is decent, was cooked medium rare like I had asked. Needed some seasoning, but for six bucks, I added some A1. Their eggs and toast were adequate. The hash browns were soggy, so you can pass on that.
The customer service is abysmal here but it’s not due to the restaurant being understaffed. There are 20 people running around at all times. There’s no rhyme or reason as to who waits which table. We were seated and it took about five minutes for anyone to ever greet us. We put in our drink orders and then a minute later, we had another woman try to take our drink orders. The food came out in a decent time and the service got slightly better throughout the night, but it’s really sub-​par.
Plus, there’s just a ton of characters there. There was a guy drinking a pitcher of mountain dew by himself who had to shout to get someone’s attention. In the past, I’ve seen people choking on food, fights almost break out, waiters spill food all over customers. The place just has that juju about it.
If you need cheap eats after midnight and want an impromptu show with your dinner, you should check this place out. Not for those who don’t enjoy weird stuff to happen around them while they eat.

I arrived shortly after midnight for the overnight special and was able to get a table right away. The restaurant is nonsmoking and on the second floor so it’s away from the main noise and smoke of the casino.
The food arrived in less than ten minutes and was just as I ordered: New York strip steak, two eggs with hash browns and toast. Everything was delicious and for $ 5.99 it was a real bargain.
The sever was attentive and afterwards the manager stopped by to make sure that everything was in order. Overall it was a pleasant dining experience. I would recommend this place for an inexpensive, filling meal!

Graveyard specials, biscuits and gravy for $ 1.99. Eh, ok. Biscuits were hard and gravy was watered down, both canned. There were two wait staff, so water was not getting filled and felt forgotten, but at 2am or so. Much better graveyard specials in town, but I was staying at the hotel and been drinking so I had to make it work. I survived. Drunk cheap food in an attempt to sober up.

Sterling Spoon Café? What does that mean?
Definition of sterling (n)
Bing Dictionary
British currency: the currency in pounds and pence used in the United Kingdom
of sterling silver: made of sterling silver
admirable: admirable or valuable
Just wanted to make sure the definition I know did not change. They sure as hell dont do British currency. Unlike the definition, this place is not admirable or valuable. Yes they have certain meal deals that are good and cheap but the service or lack there of completely cancels out any specials they might have. I havnt even mentioned what I ended up getting and it was not good at all.
So I get my player card downstairs and proceed to go up the escalator towards the café. Wait time to sit down was about 10 minutes which was not bad at all.
Unfortunately everything went downhill from there.
After getting our drinks from the drink person, we all knew what we wanted to get already without even having to look at the menu. After about 15 minutes, our server finally got around to taking our order. Originally I wanted to get the Half Rack of Ribs and 10 Hot Wings for $ 7.77 deal with player card but the lady said that was over and it was now Steak n Eggs for 9.99. That’s stupid because just earlier one of my friends said that they saw the 7.77 deal advertisement on one of the cabs. Even still she would not honor it and acted like we were wasting her time. It was obvious that she did not like her job. The bad vibes I was getting from her almost made me want to get up and leave.
So I ordered the Prime Rib special for 9.99 since I saw somebody receive their order earlier. From that point on it seemed forever for our orders to come out. When I got my order, it looked decent to begin with but when I took my first bite the meat was bland and luke warm like it had been sitting out. Dipping it in the au jus that came with it helped a little. The onion rings that came with it were already soggy. How does that happen when she just brought it out? The mashed potatoes tasted like card board. Fail.
Besides the bad service and bad food, the main thing that really bothered me was the smoke factor. The whole time we were there in the café, all we smelled was cigarette smoke like a whole group of people were sitting next to us smoking one cigarette after another.
In closing, to reiterate my experience in a nut shell, bad food, bad service, bad ventilation, and just overall failure in ambience. I am definitely not coming back here no matter what food deals they have for getting treated poorly and the possiblility of getting lung cancer.
