Caesars Café was one of those places I avoided like the plague, I went once when it was under a different name, and I had a «why would I bother» attitude. There were plenty of other choices, and I didn’t want to waste my time here. But after a failed attempt to eat at Deep Blue Café down the road(they don’t feed you to well when they’re closed), and a quick drive around to see that most other local places are closed on a Monday night, we settled for Caesars. On top of being open on a Monday night, they also have an all you can eat pizza and pasta buffet for just $ 12.90. Kids eat free. It wasn’t our type of thing, but a lot of people seemed to be enjoying it. Instead we picked from the specials menu, a Mediterranean lamb tasting platter and a reef and beef. Both meats were cooked perfectly, and the meals were far better than we expected, but they also didn’t blow you away. With the lamb platter things like slightly too dry bread, cheap tasting olives, and an overly garlic yoghurt sauce meant that it was a perfectly nice meal, but just not something to rave about. It seems they have people in the kitchen who know their stuff, but perhaps not the best quality produce. The place itself has that real $ 9.90 café feel. It actually wouldn’t have seemed out of place with a giant kids playground A la Wiggley Worms or Play and Fun. But it’s a great place for families. There’s plenty of room so you’re not all squished together, and if the kids end up making a bit of extra noise no body really minds. One of the fun things to do is try and spot the famous faces morphed onto the gladiator mural they have along one all. So far ones we’ve spotted include Tom Hanks, David Duchovney, Osama Bin Laden(seriously), and a possible Mark Twain. Caesars is nothing special, but it won’t be the worst meal you’ve had, in fact it might actually be quite nice.
