What User likes about Mgm Restaurant:
A group of around 26 of us had pre-booked at the MGM. We arrived around 11:45 but could not get drinks until 12:00. No problem as we needed to go through the menu and lunch specials. I had a western omelet and my wife a soup and sandwich special. Both were good and cheap as well View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Mgm Restaurant:
I had a supper and a breakfast. The fried oyster dish was interesting, though the veggies tasted very old and were too few. Same problem with the breakfast, I had a western omelette and again there was an old flavour permeating the dish. View all feedback.

Found the cost a bit high and felt crowded. Not pleased with the service as it was uncaring and very slow. but the live music made it all worth while.

MGM Restaurant offers a nostalgic dining experience with friendly service. While the decor is dated and some dishes lack flavor, the burgers and rings are praised. The music adds to the vibe, but some find it too loud. The eggs benny is hit or miss, but the house salad shines. Overall, it's a family-friendly spot with reasonable prices and great service. It may need updating, but it has a loyal clientele who appreciate the consistency and quality of the food. A mix of reviews, but worth a visit for classic diner fare and a warm atmosphere.

Old style diner that could use a good cleaning and updating. The eggs benny was a good portion size but the potatoes could have used some proper seasoning. Look...
