This is the first time the Mrs & I stopped in for a meal here & I can guarantee we will be back. We went in for breakfast & were seated right away. The waitress was very friendly & we ordered their "Jackpot" breakfast. A standard breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns & toast. She had our meals on the table in matter of just a few minutes. We enjoyed the food & the quiet atmosphere of the clean dining area. But, we were very pleased with price! Only $5.99! And then they gave us a discount for my military service, bringing the price down even more! We will return to Emilia's! We really enjoyed our visit.

Some sources suggest that the name may derive from a Latin word for "rival." They do rival other breakfast spots in very specific aspects.Emilia's Cafe is a nearly 24/7 spot in The Pass, a local Henderson casino on Water Street. We had received food comps from the casino within the past week (valid for 7 days) and decided to try the restaurant since it's the only breakfast option here.The service was okay. They warned us up front that there was only one server for today, so I was fine with the delays. However, a nearby table pointed out that they could've cross-trained other employees to take food orders. That's some food for thought. I also was confused that nobody came to settle our check until asking someone and learning that you had to walk to the register. What is this, a Cali Viet joint?That aside, I did appreciate that the employee who took our drink orders offered lemon with our water, and we were able to flag someone down later for to-go boxes.I was feeling carby today, and that craving earned me some surprisingly tasty and filling bites. I'm starting to think that Henderson secretly has a competitive Biscuits & Gravy ($5.99) scene after a nice experience not too far from here, and this version was delicious too. The biscuits were huge and fluffy, and the white gravy had plenty of sausage bits while not tasting too salty. I also picked up one buttermilk Pancake ($1.99), which was huge, surprisingly thick, crispy on the edges, and fluffy throughout. It's close to being flavorful enough on its own, but I enjoyed adding both the spreadable butter and regular syrup.Savory is not their forte, unfortunately. I tasted a Mushroom Swiss & Sausage omelette ($11.99), and there may not have been any salt added at all. The Swiss was nicely melted, but that's all it had going for it. The buttered wheat toast almost helped the eggs enough, and the hash browns were okay. It's nice that they provide all kinds of condiments on the table, but you gotta have a good baseline flavor profile.The Coffee ($3.49) wasn't too bad, and they even provided refills when you could flag someone down. They also have half n half singles in addition to the expected non-dairy creamer.If you're a Henderson local, then definitely stop by Emilia's to use food comps to load up on breakfast carbs. Don't drive across town, and don't go if you want a decent omelet. Maybe I'll end up trying other things if I have the incentive to return regularly.

I don't like leaving bad reviews but hopefully this will help:I received a $20 voucher for my Birthday from the casino so decided to try lunch here.The server had short hair and glasses and talks broken English. I ordered the Grilled Double Cheese with Fries and a Coke. The waiting took forever and the server spent more time chatting with others, swiping the counter and disappearing then checking on the food. Finally, she brings my order in a take out container and says the wait was long because they made it like Take Out Shouldn't that make it faster?Anyway, I bite into the sandwich and had to spit it out. The white cheese was like rubber. I was going to complain but the server had disappeared again. I ate the Fries and was debating on Desert. She came back and I described what I wanted but had forgotten the title so she brings me the menu and as I am turning the page, she's gone again. Another server came by so I asked to speak to a Manager. She took the sandwich and showed it to someone and they didn't charge me but charged for the Desert, instead. (Sorry if Desert is spelled wrong).What really bothered me is as soon as the other lady helped me, my server came up and stated "You should have come to me." I didn't want to get into it with her and just shrugged and said "It's okay. She helped me." But, the stupid lady came back and said it again, before finally leaving..all annoyed. I did leave some change as a Tip because I didn't want a scene.The girl at the check out said they have had problems with this employee before. I might try again sometime if they get rid of her and learn how to make edible Grilled Cheese.

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.

I received this dirty glass after I made a complaint at the hostess desk when I came in I asked can I use my 20 dollar comp here at the restaurant they waitress denied me for the fact it was no longer October and I had to insist that is was valid as there is no expiration date another person came and said it would work here and the hostess said sorry she didn't know I get seated and they bring me this dirty glasses as revenge or accident? No body knows you be the judge and I had to pay in full my bill !! Do not recommend gambling or eating here at the pass

We decided to go here for lunch. First impression, the atmosphere is nice and clean.The hostess sat us right away. We were greeted by a very friendly server.The menu has all the regular things you would expect but one that stuck out was the fried grouper sandwich. We started with the beef nachos which was huge! It was loaded with jalapenos, olives, churo beans, cheese and thinly sliced beef.Honestly,we could have eaten that and been full.I had that, the wife had the water street hamburger.The grouper sandwich was delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked. She said the hamburger was great. It had a really nice sear on it. Both items came with your choice of sides which seems to be something that doesn't happen that often anymore.Altogether that bill came to $48 which is a great price for what we had.We will definitely be back.

This place use to have the best burger, unfortunately within this past year, they decided to downgrade the size and quality of their meat. This change of meat has impacted various items on the menu including their Hawaiian Loco Moco meal. The menu has not been changed thus causing confusion as the picture shows the old larger full beef patty. I would not recommend an item that uses these sub-par meat patties.The loaded chili tots are amazing! Breakfast is great as well! Just don't order the loco moco! Service is still a 5 star!

Really cheap, probably the most inexpensive breakfast around. You get a very nice portion with 3 eggs, choice of meat and hash browns for 7.99, its the Jackpot Breakfast and I know that if you go during the week super early the same breakfast is like 4.99, its a great deal and very tasty and no waiting. This is our go to when we come to Vegas for a quick vacation, we also love gambling at The Pass Casino, we feel like locals and try and avoid the strip at all costs and love to patronize the local casinos and businesses.

In case anyone can't find it, Emilia's Cafe is inside Pass casino. I got the prime rib french dip. It was good. Just basic coffee shop type of American food eats. The ranch was not tangy and it was bomb. The service was perfect but it's not really busy. The casino is small and not crowded so it was easy for us to find the place.
