Augustus Cafe

the worst food ever… no wonder this hotel is filing for bk… regular bacon & eggs breakfast for two…$ 54.00…Cold toast, greasy bacon and bad tasting sausage… go to Denny’s right across the street. please…oh.I forgot. we had to put a stick under the table legs to keep it from rocking and spinning around… and this is a 5 star Hotel???

Wouldn’t Serve this to Royalty!
My goodness! For $ 58, you would expect a decent meal. (April, 2011) I ordered the chicken sandwich with potato salad and my husband had the Cuban with black beans. Nothing fancy, nothing hard to cook, just good solid food after a day of walking the strip.
Honestly, this was absolutely the WORST chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. It was dry, overcooked and had alfalfa (not sprouts) on it, which was bitter and revolting. (I never start taking apart sandwiches to pick things off of them but I couldn’t tolerate this and took the green stems off.) I love chicken sandwiches but this thing just did not fit the bill. It also had avocado on it — which I love, but they’d failed to add even a touch of salt to them so they were tasteless. And, I should probably mention there wasn’t a spec of any kind of sauce on the sandwich — no mayo, no mustard, no salad dressing, no honey mustard, nothing! Which added to the overcooked dry meat effect. It was awful. The potato salad was made with real mayo (nice touch) but was greasy and had a weird texture. Made me wonder how long it’d been unrefrigerated. Didn’t finish it either.
My husband was non-​plussed with his sandwich too. He simply said that «we can make better at home». And he didn’t eat much of his beans which looked gross — of course black beans aren’t the most appetizing bean on earth served all soupy in a white cup. Oh well.
We could have had a better, more satisfying meal if we’d gone to McDonalds…
That being said, the service was fine, although being what Caesar’s Palace is, we felt a touch underclass dining here. It was at the end of a long day and we were tired and looking forward to a good meal. We felt really screwed by the end of this dining experience. What a disappointment.

I have eaten here a bunch of times and I have to say that I’ve never been impressed. I have always found the staff to be basically rude and in a hurry to turn the table over. They don’t like it when you stay too long so make sure your having a fast breakfast or lunch meeting when you eat here. The overall quality of the food is fine and if your on your way back to your room after a night of gambling fun its an ok alternative. If you have time go somewhere else. Las Vegas has tons of great restaurants. I’d suggest Denny’s across the street as a much cheaper alternative.

I came here last summer. My girlfriends and I were originally suppose to go to Serendipity3 but the line was too long. We were really hungry so we roamed to Ceasar’s palace since it was next door.
We checked out the menu and it was pretty pricey for a café menu. I’m too used to Corner Bakery prices. Luckily, my girlfriends and I love sharing!
This place was completely empty during Mid day, we were the only ones there. From what I remembered, their service was slow. slow on a slow day? Weird.
We ordered the Reuben Sandwich. Came with Fries and pickles. I forgot how it tasted like but I remember it tasted really good, everyone enjoyed it. I even came back home to Cali and ordered the Reuben sandwich, it definitely did not taste the same =[ We also ordered this burger, from what we recalled, it was pretty good. totally forgot what it’s called though. =/​a little useless for even typing that lol.
but I’d come back here if I was around the corner.

During my stay at Caesers I woke up one morning wanting a traditional breakfast. Being that I dont cook my breakfast usually consist of a Del Taco breakfast burrito and an apple. Well, breakfast options are pretty limited at caesers so I decided to come here.
The food is ok. I had the Omelet which came with hash browns and toast. The omelet was nothing to brag about. It was over cooked. Eggs were not lite and fluffy. To top it off it cost $ 15. But this is to be expected in Vegas.
Overall, nothing great or memorable,. Just came here out of convenience.

I saw the cuban sandwich on the menu and had to try it! Oh well I have had LOTS better for half the price. I guess I paid to watch people take pictures with the statues! for all of ceasars glory, I expect better, much better

We came here after the Cher concert and we were HUNGRY! We decided to order a couple of appetizers and we went for the Chicken Quesadilla and the Spinach and Artichoke Dip. When they brought out the food I thought there was a mistake because the Quesadilla was the SMALLEST thing I have ever seen in my life. It looked more like a taco… for $ 12.00. The dip was good but it is served with garlic bread and not chips… so you are left with extra dip and nothing to dip in it. Chips would have been better. We got the crème brûlée for dessert and it was tiny as well. Overall, it was pretty pricey for such small portions.
On the plus side the café is really cute and I loved the ambiance of this place. We also received really good service and that’s why I’m giving this place three stars instead of two!

I’ll start with high praise for Maryam who was our waitress. The food was DELICIOUS (we had a french dip and pancakes — late night carbs!!) and Maryam was INCREDIBLE, efficient and friendly — even at 2am. She told us that she had been with Caesars Palace for 22 years and she loves her job.
This was so much better than the Palazzo where there aren’t any restaurants like this, especially anything that is open after 10pm.
We were glad to be staying in the Augustus Tower after stumbling upon the Augustus.
The next time I’m in Vegas I might make a special trip to the Augustus — even if I’m not staying at the hotel.

What can you say about the standard las vegas casino café except that this particular one puts out some above average food (for a café). I think you have to watch what you order because its often hit or miss. We ordered a couple of burgers between medium rare and medium and one came out perfect and one was closer to medium well. You guessed it… I was the one that got jacked with the medium well one (it ended up tasting like well done — and for premium burgers — that means dry and tough).
The french onion soup is delicious here and its FULL of onion. You won’t forget that its french onion soup as each bite will give you your fair share of ‘em. I have had the prime rib french dip here and the reuben and both were good when I have gotten them in the past.
The three stars is because there are so many other over the top good places within Caesars — so if its the quick and easy meal or late night drunken meal that you are looking for… this could be your place.

You can tell that they use high quality ingredients here.
–The waiter was rude and impatient. I don’t know what I want to order the moment I sit down, come back later and please stop giving me attitude
–The horseradishy mustard sauce that comes with the onion ring appetizer is spectacular
–The onion ring appetizer is huge and could be lunch on its own

expensive grave yard food…
Had the barely soup and it was too salty to finish and that cost a pretty penny…

I had a late breakfast here, it was decent but pricey for what I got.
I had an omelet with mushrooms, ham and cheese, potatoes and toast.
The omelet was large and pretty good, the potatoes were heavy and greasy and the toast was… toast.
Service was fairly good and the food came reasonably quickly.
I did get a tummy ache, probably because I didn’t stop eating the potatoes when I should have.

Okay, so we ate here the first time mostly due to its close proximity to our room and our extreme need for nourishment. They are open 24 hours and their menu is pretty extensive for such a little place. We never waited in line and the hostesses were friendly. The wait staff was a little spotty and the same person never came back to our table until it was time to bring us the check. It was hard to know how to tip for that, but we were so full by the time we left that we hardly cared at that point.
We ate at Augustus once for breakfast and once for lunch. I can honestly say that both times it was wonderful. For breakfast, I had a Belgian waffle (complete with Caesar’s Palace stamped in the middle!) and hash browns. Typical morning after drinking fare. The waffle was fluffy and the hash browns were just salty and greasy enough to hit the spot.
For lunch, I had a chicken Caesar salad and was not disappointed. The bright star of this meal was the side of fries I got. Delish!
So, we were happy with this little café being so near our room’s tower. We basically fell out of the elevator and stumbled in here. Pretty awesome!

Having not planned on Guy Savoy being quite as expensive for bar bites as we thought, we popped in here for dinner instead.
This place is around $ 13-​$ 25 for entrée, and $ 9-​$ 16 for appetizers.
The portions are HUGE! I mean EPICALLY huge!
We ordered normally, Appetizer for the table. Either two appetizers or an entrée per person for main eating. We could have easily ordered ²⁄₃ less food and still had left overs.
Best Free Bread Bowl-​Pretzel bun, cheesy bun, zucchini bread. All warm and delicious.
Whopper Milk Shake-​To die for. Balanced candy + milk shake perfection. Comes in oversized glass for maximum calories.
Onion Rings-​Mountain of Beer battered, pipping hot, perfectly salted, oniony goodness. Came with great dipping aolis.
French Onion Soup-​big enough to swim in. Not overly salty, good onion flavor, high quality cheese and croûton on top.
Crab Cakes-​Liked the avocado citrus salad with the cake. Went together great. A bit to dense though. Could have done with one not two cakes.
Clam Chowder– A little bit off. Definitely too sweet.
Prime Rib– Came with so much fat it needed lipo. But other than that, this half a cow looked fantastic.
Service was good, though unusually slow. Good thing we left early for dinner, since we would have been late for our shows otherwise.
This is some solid and GIGANTICALLY portioned Vegas eats.

came here at around 1:00 for lunch and it was pretty empty. The service was sooooooooo slow! we were all starving so it probably seemed even slower than normal, but damn! it took forever for our waitress to take our order. At least she apoligized multiple times. I had the clam chowder in a soudough bread bowl. It was pretty tiny and i barely got any soup inside. My guy friend ordered the same thing and finished it in one minute haha. for $ 9 i expected a little more i guess. The prime rib dip was ok. nothing too special. On the menu is says something along the lines of melt in your mouth thinly shaved prime rib, but it was more dry than melt in my mouth. Their fries are really tasty though! I couldn’t stop eating them, and I’m supposed to be on a «no fried food diet.» I couldn’t resist =X
The bread basket they gave us after we ordered was really good. They had a good variety of onion cheese roll, zucchini bread, and pretzel rolls. All were equally good especially the first two! I would come back if i stayed in Caesars and wanted some grub after my hangover =D haha

Seemed pretty much like standard upscale coffee shop casino fare. Sure, I’ve had better meatloaf for less than the 19 bucks it cost, but when the grilled cheese is 15 — that’s just what it takes to get some grub in yer belly. And I was pretty much ready to eat the table by the time we got there — the meatloaf was extremely superior to that.
The pretzel bread that came out before the meal was AWESOME. The aforementioned 15 dollar grilled cheese looked amazing and got rave reviews. They took care of a big group pretty effortlessly (we waited maybe 5 minutes max for a table to be set up, and beyond that I got my water quickly and was having too much fun to remember if the food took a long time or not), and while I wouldn’t make a special trip back here, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. And I would probably try that epic grilled cheese.

Augustus Café is like the homely, old high school friend that’s always willing to hang out. If you’re staying at Caesars Palace, it’s always open and even during slow times, the Café still gets moderate traffic.
The problem with ol’ Augustus is that I have never had a great time with him. He’s comfortable, that much is true, because I know him well. They serve pretty much your standard American fare with a few random outliers (most of which are Italian).
Augustus is really no fun. Be willing to wait in line here. I had the Caesars VIP pass that let me cut in front of all the sad folks who have been standing in line for a good 45 minutes. I truly did feel bad for these people but, hey, Augustus and I go way back.
The service here is fair at best. It gets insanely busy in the restaurant. I’m not looking to constantly hold hands with the server but throw me a bone here. At least think to refill my water before I struggle to wave you over for 10 minutes.
The only redeeming factor is that Augustus is there for you when you need him and he’s surprisingly dapper in the morning. I will say that the one thing that Augustus does well is breakfast. If you can beat the breakfast rush, they have some pretty high-​quality items going on.
If you’ve got another option, take it, otherwise prepare for a meal version of watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

This little café is conveniently located right next to the Caesars Palace lobby. So if you are leaving Caesars Palace or just coming back to the casino and don’t want to go exploring to find a place to eat, this may seem like an okay place to stop. The restaurant itself is kind of like a little café. The overall look reminds me of many hotel restaurants (such as a Hilton, Marriott, etc.).
In terms of the menu, the lunch and dinner menu feature a lot of comfort food items like pork chops and chicken pot pie. I’ve never been here for breakfast. I had the crab cakes, which weren’t that good. The pork chops looked better than they tasted.
I’m not the biggest fan of Las Vegas food. At the very least, Augustus Café does offer a slightly cheaper sit-​down alternative to the other overpriced Vegas restaurants. The food though definitely could be a lot better here. Maybe their breakfast would be worth a shot. By the way, the service was not that good (they forget about us and entrees did not all come out at the same time).

We came here after a night of partying at Club XS. The service was not good– we had a table of 6 and the waitress was the type that tries to memorize your order and not write it down. Of course, 2 of the dishes came out wrong.
I had a terrible turkey reuben. You know the food is bad when you’re drunk and you still don’t enjoy it.
I know 24 hour cafes usually aren’t very good, but we had a much better late-​night grub at the Bellagio café the night before.
