Lucille Malone's @ The Gilpin Casino (Must be 21+) - Black Hawk, Colorado

If I could give this restaurant 0 stars I would. We started by waiting over an hour for food to come out. Once it came out, the food was ice cold. We let them know after taking a bite of prime rib and they put the meat back into the au ju that was in the back after taking a bite and let us know that.(completely unsanitary and disgusting). The meatloaf was also ice cold. However, the banana pudding was great. This was just the food. The staff was also rude. The only good part about our experience was the bartender down at the casino who was the only friendly one in the building. If I were you I’d take my money and eat bar food at a different casino as the bar food tasted better than what looked like was a nice restaurant.

After a day of casino hopping we decided to drop in for dinner. Seated right away, friendly waiter, good menu, we were both happy with our meals and even happier with our bill. Without a doubt the best and cheapest meal of our trip.

One of the worse days. Playing at my favorite casino and be presented with this nasty food. I ordered a cesar salad, and right after I wanted to order my so thought delicious meal. When I tried to order, I was told new rules are you can only order one entree. I was not aware my salad was an entree The waiter didn’t care if I was aware or not. So then I ordered my chicken wings, uncooked, fried to reflect hell, and when cutting through it, blood was gushing out ugghhh… nasty. Do not recommend this place at all. And the salad, well … you can just see from the actual pics.

I have no clue why people have rated this place so high! It literally is one of the saddest restaurants as far as ambiance. Upon entry, the carpet alone made me want to follow Lucille herself right off the second story balcony (will get to that at the end). Looking around the place at the customers, I felt like I was at a 1970 church revival. The menu was expansive, and the special was a $12.99 prime rib with two sides. I decided to go for it even though a prime rib should never be under $20-30 in my opinion or I will assume something is severely wrong with it. My friends reminded me it's a casino so they are trying to draw people in with cheap prices. Fair point. Speaking of friends they got the surf n turf and the hamburger. Listen. The prime rib was actually slightly better than the cheap price. My friends said the burger was "fine" and the surf n turf was "below average".

Server was super nice and apologetic for the few things that he forgot and we had to remind him to grab for us. We took a piece of cheesecake for the road. As we were leaving, I asked my friends who Lucille Malone was I wonder, and the lady checking us out had the story. Lucille threw herself off the balcony after her man got run over by a wagon and died. And the lady let us go to the balcony where this happened! Lucille, honey, no man is worth jumping off this balcony for ... but that carpet ... oof maybe that's why she jumped. I'm basically giving this place two stars for the history alone!

Oh, and the cheesecake when we go back home? Ugh no. Not good.

Don't check it out, Blackhawk.

Was seated and then never got service. Tables seated after received service. Multiple servers walked right past our and didn't even greet or acknowledge we were there. What was it about us that you all thought we didn't deserve to be waited on. We're regulars and locals, so I really don't understand the treatment. We left after 30+min of watching parties seated after us be waited on while we were ignored. Seriously what was it about my wife and I that warranted treating us lesser than others? Why did we deserve that level of discrimination? Called to speak with a manager, was connected with Dave, who immediately transfered me to a voice-mail without even listening to me. This was some horrible customer service.

Burger is good...
I wish they had good gravy for chicken fried meats and biscuits, but it's not... it's weird.
Servers definitely hate their jobs. You can distinguish the new peppy employees from the old grumpy ones. Water cups are usually dirty (I bring my own drinks now) Salad was brown, limp, and sour. Fries always come out cold (you shouldn't make these until the rest of the food is almost done). Honestly, we only go when we get free comps... we make it work...

Like many people, I swung by the Gilpin to grab a bite at Lucille Malone's because of it's interesting history. The staff was great and the food and drinks were priced perfect! Would have no issues going back.

Super nice server food was decent and reasonably priced.
