I was excited to try the Roast Beef as I’ve seen the advertising photo for years but I was sorely disappointed. The meat was very tough, chewy, and we’ll, not at all as I had hoped. Fries were very good. My wife got the chicken fried chicken and thought it was okay. Unfortunately we won’t be back. I have to say that the gal who kept our drinks filled was a gem, she was so very friendly and the light in the room.

5-Stars for the service with Lou and the Bus girl who always remembers what I drink. Special tonight was a Filet mignon with vegetables and mashed potatoes . Good meal would’ve given it 5 stars ⭐️ but the gravy was way salty. That’s on the Cooks and seems to be a regular thing for the Diner. 4 stars ⭐️ for the meal $12.99.

You just can’t beat the deals that they have here! I got so much food for such a small amount of money. It was awesome. And they have flavored creamer now! I’m going to be a regular there for as long as they have these great prices and good food. I strongly suggest getting the veggie scramble. Keep it up Baldinis!

Service is very good. Food is not the greatest, but I have no complaints about it. The portions that they serve are pretty big. I like that. It is a diner type of atmosphere, very casual. Even with a newly expanded menu, the price has stayed very reasonable when all other restaurants have jacked their prices sky high.

The selections of breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu at the Empire Diner inside of Baldini’s is wonderful! So many different dishes to try.

“Lou”is by far the most helpful and funny server at this restaurant. He makes every customer feel like they are a part of the family. He is the main reason I love eating at the empire diner.

I hadn’t seen my dad in a while, and he suggested we head over to Baldinis Casino for an early dinner. I hadn’t eaten there before so I said let’s go for it. The diner in is big and able to hold a good amount of diners. Our waitress was prompt, really nice, and once we ordered, popped back with our meals amazingly quick. Dad had a chicken fried steak which he loved. I had a delicious big cheeseburger and fries. It disappeared fast. Service start to finish was awesome. I’d go back there any time again. Liked it way more than I ever expected I would. Good food and good gambling, with mostly locals, only feet away.

It’s a diner. I wouldn’t even say that it’s a high quality diner. The service was exemplary but the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered a grilled cheese and the cheese wasn’t melted. Got a French dip and the bread look like it had been chewed on. Ordered a fish and chips and it was completely burnt.
