Yet another place to eat at Fort McDowell. The $2.99 breakfast
special drew me in. 2 pancakes, 2 scrambled eggs, 2 strips of bacon. There was
a waiting list so they take your name and number and text you when a table is
available. Pretty smart so you can go spend money gambling rather than wait in
line for 20 minutes.
When the table was ready, we had to weave around a lot of
tables/chairs to get to it. The hostess handed us their breakfast menus. When
the waitress came over, she said something like “do you know what you want to
order?” but in sort of a discourteous manner. I said yes, the breakfast
special. “Do you have your club card?” Yes. Then she handed us index cards with
the 3 specials handwritten (with poor spelling, the other two options had
sausage & home fries or country fried steak), asked what we wanted to
drink, and walked away. Not the friendliest person I’ve encountered.
Took a little while for her to bring the waters, then we had
to wait for the food. I didn’t have high expectations for a $2.99 breakfast,
but I thought they’d at least be able to get it out quickly. Wouldn’t they
rather have people out in the casino spending money than sitting in a café waiting
for food? When it finally came out, the guy that brought it over was friendly.
Much nicer than our grumpy waitress.
As for the cheap breakfast, I’m pretty sure the pancakes
were just frozen pancakes and the syrup was pretty thin. The scrambled eggs
were not especially mushy/liquidy, but also not well done (though I did not
request this). The bacon strips were small, but hey that’s what a $2.99 special
looks like! At least the check came quickly so we could leave cash and weave on
out of there.
