Service rather slow. My meal was good, but my friend’s pizza was extremely salty. I tried it after he complained and practically started to pucker. Limited sports-grille type menu, but not that much worse than other 24/7 coffee shops on the Strip.

This buffet was good, but not great. I think Excalibur’s Roundtable Buffet was much better. I would eat here again, but since Excalibur is right next door, I’d rather go back there.

Like most Luxor dining options (except perhaps Steakhouse and Fusia) this place has had it’s ups and downs. It’s been going down since the previous owners nearly gave up on the Luxor property to focus almost exclusively on Mandalay/THEhotel instead. It hit rock bottom around this spring, but after a month of hectic moving around for renovations, it seems to have sprung back up again. Food is up to the quality I used to expect, and service is close but no cigar. Now, along with Excalibur’s cafe, one of my two picks for 24 hour dining at this end.

Biggest drawback? The glasses your drinks come in are especially tiny; so if you’re parched, head to one of the neighboring hotels or be prepared to be quenched only at their discretion.

This is actually a pretty good place to eat. You sometimes have to wait a bit during peak eating hours, but the line moves pretty fast. The food is pretty good and the prices are quite reasonable. I have eaten here more then 10 times and cannot remember getting a bad meal. The breakfasts are always good and for dinner try the prime rib. It is juicy and flavorful and a good value for the price. Always expect large portions of food. The service is also very good.

Beware of the buffet a the Luxor. It is quite average and for the cost, not worth it. The food all tastes the same..not bad, but not too good. But it is better then the Excalibur’s.

I have stayed at the Luxor many times. Although their buffet is abolutely bad, the cafe is quite god for the most part. It is situated in an open atmosphere adjacent to the casion floor so you can sometimes observe the floor action if you get a booth close to the edge. You won’t hear any screaming from slot players however, because few seldom win anything there from my observations. I have had their prime rib a few times. Always tender and cooked medium rare the way I like it. Large portions of good food and it is hot when it arrives. Prices are decent too. Staff usually friendly but on occasion they appear to be understaffed.

Good, quick service even when crowded. Great place when you don’t feel like a buffet or going “fancy”. Good selection.

It is just like a Denny’s inside the hotel. The prices are reasonable. The portions are large and a great place for late night, especially after the clubs and gambling. I like the chicken fried steak, it is my favorite.

We had our first meal in Vegas here – we had just come off an 11 hour flight so we were very tired and just seemed to come across the Cafe! The food was not spectacular, but good, especially portion size. The service was poor, the waitress was grumpy and not terribly helpful. We also had breakfast here a few days later which was much better than the evening meal and the service was much better too. I would eat here again, but wouldn’t go out of my way to visit.

A good place if you want a quick bite. Decent food, reasonable prices and the waitresses were attentive, and very helpful with advice about what to see and do in Vegas.

Awful, Awful, and Awful.
I came here at 1am in search of some coffee and I was told by the hostess that we would have to be seated in order to get our to go order!
It took them 15 minutes to seat us in a virtually empty restaurant.
When we finally ordered and I got the coffee and the bill each cup was $2.83! (a small cup) To top it off it was like tasters choice but WORSE if imaginable.
I felt very bad for all of the waitresses there because I’m sure they have to put up with a lot of abuse.
I always try to give a smile at every restaurant I go to.
In the end I would recommend going anywhere else to eat on the strip. There are many many other 24/7 restaurants that are tastier and cheaper and surely a much better atmosphere.
As for the coffee in Las Vegas, don’t bother. It’s all awful.
If someone out there gets a good cup, tell me so.

Preferred the food here to the so-so Pharoah’s Pheast buffet. It has good service and a nice, casual coffee-shop atmosphere. A good place for lunch. I had a ruben sandwich which was very good. One other had a huge Caesar salad, and the third person had a Monte Cristo which she said was the best she’d ever had.

Greasy food. Open 24 hours but I’d head next door to Mandalay Bay’s Raffles Cafe for some better late night food.

You will love the Monte Carlo sandwich. We were all pleased with the quality of the food.

Service was terrible
My steak was boiled & my buddy’s fried shrimp had to be out of a box. All in all a totally forgetable
dining experience.

I’ve been to Vegas 3 times in the last 2 years, twice at the Luxor, and have always have had good food and good service from the people at the Pyramid Cafe.. From steak to sandwiches, it’s ample portions, good food and very reasonably priced.

i visited 3/30/01. We had breafast and basically the food was utterly disgusting. EVERYTHING was soggy and the orange juice was colored water. Try the buffet or better yet take a short walk to Mandalay Bay’s choices

When I ate here I wasn’t feeling so well so I can’t be totally un-biased.

Pretty good food… No major complaints.
