Suncoast has unveiled its petite but handy Quick Bites food court with two initial concepts, Huey Magoo’s and Steak ‘n Shake.<\/p>\n

We know it should be “Steak ‘n’ Shake,” but we are not in charge of everything yet. We can only fight so many fights.<\/p>\n

The food court is one of the few remaining elements of Suncoast’s three-year phased renovation, and guests (largely gambling-focused locals) will be thrilled to have a quick, cheap way to get back to their machines and table games as quickly (and cheaply) as possible.<\/p>\n

We are a Suncoast regular and enjoy the restaurant offerings there, including Du-Par’s and the underrated William B’s Steakhouse.<\/p>\n

However, we don’t always have time for all that.<\/p>\n

The casino’s forgettable Subway and Bagel Corner Deli & Bakery have been MIA for some time now, so there’s been a definite need for some fast-food options. Sometimes, we’d have to resort to getting an $8 hot dog at the movie theater. Hey, when Double Double Bonus calls, we are all business.<\/p>\n

Suncoast (owned by Boyd Gaming) has brought in two reliable partner brands for its food court. Huey Magoo’s and Steak ‘n Shake are also in Fremont’s food court. Note: These are licensing deals; Boyd’s food and beverage team operates the venues.<\/p>\n

It’s not spectacular, but they spent more than they needed to, so that’s something.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Inexplicably, the Steak ‘n Shake at Fremont Casino always has a line.<\/p>\n

Huey Magoo’s success, however, is explicable. It’s delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The Huey Magoo’s name is a combination of the founders’ nicknames. Co-founder Matt Armstrong was called “Huey” by his aunt, co-founder Thad Hudgens and a friend were called “Magoos” by Hudgens’ father.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s mostly chicken tenders, and they’re among the top tenders in Las Vegas. The Texas toast, not so much, but the fries are excellent.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We got up at the ungodly early hour of 11:00 a.m. to attend this media thing, so we’re damned well going to share some food porn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s the tenders part of the menu, but they also have sandwiches, wraps and salads.<\/p>\n

Weirdos get their tenders sauced, normal people dip their own.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Suncoast’s new food court is starting off modestly, but there’s room for more concepts if demand is there. Our prediction is tacos and pizza. Give it a minute.<\/p>\n

Here’s a panoramic shot<\/a> if you’re into that kind of thing.<\/p>\n

The new food court sits where the casino’s buffet used to be, next to the casino’s fancy new high-limit slots room and shiny new cage.<\/p>\n
