Cimarron Valley Casino - The First Review!!

Well this is our first official breakfast review!  This week we went to the Cimarron Grille at the Cimarron Valley Indian Casino.  It's located at Cimarron Casino, 821 W. Freeman, Perkins, OK 74059.

One of the tough things about making breakfasts sometimes is the early morning start of 7am.  This morning I thought I might actually be early since we decided to try out a place in Perkins, but at 6:30 I got a text from BJ saying he was already there waiting for me, thinking that we had switched times to 6:30.

Well there is a lot that can be said about eating at the Cimaron Valley Indian Casino.  From the outside it looks like you are going into a giant aluminum barn.  On the inside it's the typical casino with a small restaurant.  It is safe to say that the ambiance is not why you choose to eat here.  It feels like you are eating in a combination of the Double Deuce from Patrick Swayze's Roadhouse and an elaborate bingo parlor.  I half expected Swayze to come out of the kitchen sipping his typical cup of coffee.  It was slightly worrisome that for a place with about a dozen customers in the entire building whose average age was probably 70 there were a significant number of security guards.  I was slightly worried at one point that the little old ladies at the table next to us might light up the joint after the got gravy on their steaks that they wanted on the side instead. 

BJ and I each ordered the Breakfast Special which includes coffee, eggs, hash browns, biscuit, and basically what amounted to a chicken fried steak with gravy.  The food and coffee are served on a styrofoam plate and cup with plastic utensils, but for $2.99 who cares??  The food, somewhat surprisingly was pretty good, and the service was above par.  The food was fresh, and although the steak was probably of the pre-made frozen food variety it was still pretty good.

As mentioned in the original post our goal is to rate the restaurant based on both food (best of 5 pancakes) and price (best of 5 $$ signs), and an overall rating.  I'm still looking for an app/graphic to make it a bit more interactive, but until then it's just good old text.

Ratings:
Food: 3.5 of 5 pancakes
Price: $ (out of 5)
Overall: 4 of 5 cups of coffee

The food was decent and it's impossible to beat the price!  It's also 24/7!

Next week I think we are going to try one of our previous restaurants that we went to before starting the blog.
