M. Dares Casino Food

Image
By R.
Today, we have a special report from faithful (and intrepid) reader, M. on the Riverside Casino:

Today I rolled the dice and had lunch at the Riverside Casino. Thai Curry Chicken Fried Rice was highly recommended to me by someone....that I can only assume doesn't eat out much. I mean the guy raved about this dinner and I just don't get the hub-bub. But they do have pad thai and I'm a sucker for pad thai so I might actually venture back one day.

Their parking lot is packed lunch & dinner hours and I mean PACKED! I don't feel I have solved the mystery is it food or the card games?

On a positive note, the service was fast. You will not get a seat at the Baccarat table - that area is non-stop action from open to close, but the restaurant portion has plenty of open tables if you go before 1pm.

The place is open 24/7 and serves breakfast, lunch or dinner anytime. No website. The place does not smell like smoke - it had a recent remodel and is decent. And I have easily three portions of food for $10. Once I picked out the pineapple [The Power Womon and M. will not be dining together anytime soon] it was edible. Spicy, but edible. My lips are on fire; the photo of the shake at the Iceberg nearly drove me to Utah!


The Riverside Casino has Thai menu? Bizarre! Thanks for the report, M., and congratulations on making it out alive - T2 has avoided the place like swine flu - believing it to be the origins of the Green River Killer. I mean, this place looks like the perfect spot to sit around a baccarat table, eat fried rice and get obsessed about prostitutes. I'm just saying.

Wondering about a restaurant in Tukwila, but don't dare try it? Let us know by responding to this post, and we'll get you a review - one way or another.

Ate there once and I would go back, it was suprisingly good and the service was amazing. I had mongolian beef and the hubby had the pad thai. It was 3 portions easily.

Tummy Tukwila, your mission - should you choose to accept is to slather on the sunscreen, bust out the sunglasses and give us a Tummy Tukwila run-down of the best patio dining options in the area.

As you dine around the area during lunch thought you might want to have these coupons and special offers. Check out the awesome deal for lunch at Zoopa! Their prices are already pretty reasonable. http://www.seattlesouthside.com/RnRmarathon/

Tummy Tukwila - where are you? Are you starving in the compound? Have you all boycotted restaurants and are brown bagging it?

The Jack Shack

By R.
We've all been either too busy or too lazy to write about our lunchtime adventures, but know this - we have had lunches - some were fabulous, others were sadly disappointing (Mali Thai) and at least one was down-right scandalous (Joey's). So to make up for the long absence, I'll thrill you with our adventure to: Joeys (their apostrophe is missing, not mine)... Even though I was warned , I had to see it for myself. Joey's is Cowboy Ugly and the Pussy Cat Dolls Lounge all rolled into one, great-big southend jack shack. To get the full effect, we sat in the bar where all the waitresses are 1. Former female strippers, 2. Current female strippers, and 3. Really know how to sex up an entree so you'll want to buy it. At first, I was overcome with the smart, sleek interior design. I felt like I was at The Parker in Palm Springs . The architecture is open and modern, the colors hip, and the booths are sleek. I was so busy ogling the fabulous design that I didn't even s...

Lunching with the Enemy

By R.
I know it's unusual, and maybe even a bit on the unholy side, but B and I had lunch with the Bird Killer today at Taco Del Mar. Lunching with the enemy is not usually something I would even consider, however, we did get to ride in his so-called "premium-luxury sports car for young, aggressive males" although, the car was neither premium-luxury (I think that description expires after 10 years, BK), nor was he young and aggressive since he's pushing 40, and it took us 20 minutes to get back from the Southcenter area, which is usually only a 10 minute drive. He also demonstrated how to wrap a baby in the "Mummy Swaddle" using a bottle of hot sauce and a paper napkin, which was both weird and amusing. So at least lunchtime entertainment was different from the usual, and all of this makes for semi-interesting blog writing. The Taco Queen is still MIA, though we're starting to think she has been dethroned and a new, Evil Taco Queen is standing in her place. Al...

A Fondlin' Frau

By R.
B and I visited the Pita Pit today. The scene there was the everyday usual: Frau Farbissina yelling back meat orders, line cooks scurrying around fulfilling requests, brown lettuce. At the register, Frau asked if we'd ever been to the Pit before. How long will it take until she recognized us? I mean, really - how many times do you need to patronize a place before the people who work there recognize you? I ordered the tuna pita because I wanted to hear Frau yell it back to the line: bringoutthe tu-NAH!, but instead, she whispered it to a passing line employee: bringoutthetuna. We should have known right then that today was going to be different. The visit went from annoying to awkward when I went to use the restroom. Frau gave me a key to the bathroom door which was shaped more like a swizzle stick than a door key. She warned me that it sometimes gets stuck, but I figured, how hard could it be? I pushed the stick into the hole (this is where it starts) and Frau began to shout inst...
