Many have given Hugo’s five stars, and I am right with them. Best filet mignon I’ve ever had… check. Great atmosphere… check. Excellent service… check. Highly recommended. And the carrot cake is crazy big. Enough to feed a family of five.

The whole experience was amazing, start to finish. The food was great and the portions were huge. And the cocktails were pretty good too. We had the pear martini and old fashion, and the calamari to start followed by the crab cakes and steak. I just wish we had space to try some dessert!

*5 Star Dining AT The Casino* An excellent dining experience from Hugo’s, per usual! Best Crab Cakes and Ribeye in town. *They Are A Part of Gibson’s Steak & Bar* This Staff pulls out ALL of The Stops to ensure you are comfortable, and catered to. They provide a table side education of the cuts of steak available, with freshly wrapped examples. Their steaks are Dry Aged for 2 Months. Shout out to our Waiter Scott who made the start to our evening: Magnificent. *Half Portions Pictured – Forgot to take Pictures Beforehand*

The frog legs and oysters were fantastic, as was the filet for the main course. Awesome dining experience if you’re in the area or going to the casino

Jeffrey was an amazing server. Amazing service, menu knowledge, and sense of humor. Hostess and manager were cordial and friendly. I have only been there once before for a big business dinner. This was a dinner with a friend and we had a great experience. Thank you Hugo’s!!

‘Upscale’ is a great description for this high end restaurant located within Rivers Casino. The prices reflect same but the food was delicious and plentiful. If you are in a hurry this is not the place to try, as you are not rushed making for an enjoyable lunch with friends.

Service here is always spectacular. Noise level is at a minimum in the casino. Customer service is phenomenal, the waitstaff is very knowledgeable on the menu. Hugo’s Frog Bar & Chop House is the best restaurant in Rivers Casino. You won’t be disappointed if you stop by. The food is always consistent and delicious. The menu is extensive, you have a little of everything for everybody. You could get a delicious burger, seafood, or steak. They have a variety of delicious strong cocktails. This restaurant is great for a birthday, anniversary, date night, or appetizers and drinks. You can you use your points from your rush reward rivers card.

I had high expectations. The frog legs seemed a tad underdone. The crabmeat salad seems overpriced. The charred broccolini would have been perfect except for the dry chili flakes sprinkled on top. Frankly, it would be perfect without it. Oysters were good. My friends ateak salad looked amazing. Crème brûlée was humongous and hit the mark.

The service was VERY good and well timed. Unless you are a beef eater; the menu is a bit mundane (to be expected at a chop house I suppose). Also, I would highly recommend making a suggestion on how you want your fish prepared, as both the sea bass and salmon were too rare for my taste. Apps, veggie, and dessert were perfect.
