Johnny Nolon's Casino - Cripple Creek, Colorado

Waited for an hour to get our food. The waitress stopped by to tell us they only had one cook and we should be patient. I got a water, and in the entire hour I sat there it was not one time refilled.

The food when it finally showed up was mediocre at best. I wouldn’t waste my time.

If you come to Cripple Creek for the ice castles get food in some other town. Nothing here but casino restaurants so it’s not super kid friendly.

Our waitress was nice, dang good lady.

With the exception of the fries, everything else was completely mediocre. Why does this place have the WORST signage to find the restaurant entrance or bathrooms? Buy two more neon signs for the upstairs and sell 95% of the 80s style dinginess.

The food... I've had fresh garbage that tasted better than this.
55 bucks for burgers summoned from a soulless abyss, where flavor only exists as a legend. The condiments met an unstoppable force, seasoned with air outside the restaurant, then brought back in to be served barely warm

It's truly an unremarkable spot. We drove past it wanting to give it a shot and it was a brick. Unless you have a thing for crippling disappointment, stick to the Triple Crown or better known casinos for tremendously better food and atmosphere.

My wife and I walked into a few breakfast places and decided on Johnny Nolon's mostly because of the view of the street. We opened it at 8am and ordered a 2 egg breakfast with choice of meat, toast and I chose hashbrowns over pancakes.
When the plate showed up, I was amazed by great flavor and presentation, it was garnished with tasteful citric slices. Wonderful staff, kind and jovial. My wife and I had a great time there and look forward to going back this summer.

This place is not customer friendly. Put my money in the slot machine and it defaulted to $1 bet and would not let me change to 25 cent so decided to just cash out. The employee said I already committed to the bet which ended up being $2 and they couldn’t help me. Said I had to do the bet to get the rest of my money and wished me luck, hope I got sevens. Never heard of having to place a bet before you can cash out if you change your mind due to the cost of the machine being more than you thought, happens to the best of us. Even though it was only $2, very disappointed in this business practice and poor customer service. Definitely would not go to this casino if you don’t want to be taken advantage of.

The casino itself is not one of the better ones in town. However the atmosphere is quiet, most of the staff are friendly and the service is ok here. The restaurant is where you want to be though! The food is fantastic when Mary and Larry are cooking. The avocado burger was cooked by Mary and served within 15 minutes of sitting down. The crispy chicken salad was made by Larry ( it's my favorite thing on the menu ) and was also served within 15 minutes. (2 different visits)

UPDATE: They have a new waiter. He's awesome! He's young but very friendly and the service is so much better when he waited on us then it has ever been in the past! The next time you go in to eat ask for Tyler!

Worst experience. Food was all over cooked, burnt , no taste. The servicer was no where to be seen. The manager has to comp 8 meals before us do to quality.

First off we had to wait a while only one staff member working the floor. We didn't get our steaks cooked as ordered. A manager gave us credit for one meal since I ate mine. First off I wasn't going to wait any longer for my food to be cooked again. Secondly they forgot our soup so our salad came out with the meal. I will not recommend this place or return for a meal either. Was not the meal we had asked for.

The service was terrible for the restaurant, half of the menu was not available. Just go across the street to Maggies if you need something to eat.
