Fantastic price & recommend you everyone
Cheap, fresh, good service and lively as you'd expect. We go here when we're in the mood for something cheap and have a plan around the Southbank area. Don't count it out because of its location...its worth trying!
Margo's is a large diner located inside the Casino area of Crown that, quite frankly, reminds me of a retirement home dining hall in Florida. The food is all surprisingly cheap considering this is Crown, but the quality isn't fantastic. That is quite likely intentional - they want casino goers to spend as much time within the confines of the casino as possible, hence why they are providing cheap food within the casino area.
We've come here a couple of times for a cheap meal (under $10 - wow right?), and it most likely won't wow you, but when even the food court in Crown charges north of $15 for a meal, we're not complaining. There's a decent variety and you can mix and match, so it's worth coming here just to fill your belly if you're in search of a cheap meal. Just don't lose your money to the slots and tables on the way here!
Been here a few times with the family. Tried their special deal (meal + wine + parking all for $15-20) which included steak (bit dry but brother says this fluctuates), barramundi (not bad), pork (dry, didn’t like this one but the mash was good). Beef pie was meh (would skip this next time). Spaghetti and sticky date pudding were quite nice. No real complaints tbh for the price and value. Also you get crown points if this is ur thing lol.
Went here with a friend for my first Margo experience. Winter special menu, $15-20 for meals. Picked the Rib eye with chips and salad $20, included a glass of wine. Steak was cooked to my liking of medium rare, filled me up! Staff were friendly. The place has a bit of an RSL feel, suited me fine. I was about to catch up with my friend away from all the huddle and bustle of crown! Will be back.

Looking for a decent hot meal on the cheap? Margo's is the the place! I had not been here since the renovations but it's now a lot more open and has a better feel to this venue which is located on the gaming floor inside crown casino.
There are not many places you can get a fresh cooked meal from in crown on the cheap, that's why for a quick lunch stop, this place is perfect.
Of course it's not the best food and of course the portion size is on the smaller scale but you get what you pay for.
Came here with a colleague for a real cheap meal as I was craving a steak and he wanted something seafood but we had already spent a lot of money on lunch over the week. We were able to get a medium-rare steak with chips, gravy, onion rings and salad for $18.50 and fish, chips and salad for $16! We even drank water which they have multiple little water serving stations around the tables.
The food was really good and totally worth the money spent, I will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu out!
Nothing too fancy here. Very basic menu that tastes decent. Quick cheap bite. Worth a shot if you wanted some regular food or coffee and cake.
Margo's cafe makes great coffees and croissants. The pastries and cakes are very reasonably priced compared to most other cafes in Crown. The staff are friendly and quick.
Lets be honest this place might not be the gastronomic mecca of melbourne. It doesn't offer the best culinary experience. Its in a middle of a casino ffs... But, for. $7.50 for a 3 meats course. I seriously don't think you can get a better deal than this anywhere in melbourne.
A cafe situated inside the casino: Unlike other eateries in the foodcourt, busy and packed with people and lines. This place is so much quieter. They have a varieties of desserts, salad and meat dishes. I ordered a chocolate mousse and a latter. The chocolate mousse is very nice, smooth and full with flavour, which I didn't execpt to have in a small cafe inside a casino.
Came across this place was actually surprised I wasn't quite hungry so I ordered nachos and my friend ordered the Parma very quick service and the price is very good considering they are situated at the casino. Would definitely go back.
I must say though Margo's do have a very appetising standard menu too and have a great showcase of fresh fish, meats and coruscation's for you to admire when you walk through to your table. Reasonably priced and good servings were seen coming from the kitchen, so it could be worth a shot for me to go back and see what they really have to offer from there menu.
We had to wait half an hour before we got seated. New Year's Eve, forgiven.
Then, we sat down ordered, 30-40 minutes later, we got our food.
Spaghetti Marinara. Small serve but, quality was very good so, can't really complain.
Porterhouse steak was nice and not over cooked. The size of the steak was very decent too.
Atlantic salmon good but a bit over cooked. Salad and chips were good. Managed to finish everything on the plate.
We all gave them 4/5
Great food, hate the venue. We have been going to Margo's for approximately 12 years now, have not had a bad meal ever, love the promotions they have
We went back since their new renovations, must admit I absolutely HATE it, the colours, are just awful
That being said, I had the $32 rib eye and it was one of the best cuts of meat I've ever had, friend had the porter house which was just as good, thought the sauce was bit average and for some reason I really enjoyed the chips as well
Overall, great service, great food, great price, yucky fit out
Will continue to come back
Had steak and chips for dinner. Steak was well cooked and tender. Portions were huge and staff were friendly. Would eat here again
Great burgers and steak. We came to Crown on a Saturday Night without any reservations, and managed to get into Margo's after trying about 15 other places. The burger was very tasty, as was the steak. Reasonably priced, service was okay, but would come here again
Very impressed with our waiter, if more of the floor staff were more like he who shan't be named.. (cough Patrick cough) this place would improve. Good meal decent prices.
Excellent service. Drinks came within 5 minutes of ordering and entree came within 10 minutes. Mains came after within 10 minutes of the entree. Very speedy and polite service. Parma was great, chicken kieve was dry. Would definitely come here again though.

Great value for money eatery. I eat at Margo's Cafe for breakfast almost daily & the restaurant at least once a week since it's reopening in July, 2013. Value for money the food is very good & almost all meals tried there so far have met my (food critic) expectations Service provision is excellent and friendly staff & for such a large eatery ordered food to table time is very good. As for the decor it's a tad garish, (green & blue should never be seen together). Overall a great eatery for a reasonably priced meal & well worth a visit.

Always good Rib Eye steak. Went back to Margo's after a month, I had a order of rib eye steak as usual. Excellent! Good food before movie tonight.
P.S. parking at Crown was so expensive.
Very pleasant Saturday night dining for 4 at Margo's. 25 minute wait to be seated (no complaints), Courteous staff, very reasonable prices, Yummy food!! Will go back again! :)
Amazing experience. We ordered the Salmon and Spaghetti Bolognese followed by the New York cheesecake which was out of this World. You most definitely need to have the NY cheesecake here, I promise you wont regret.
Staff is very friendly and politr. Food is nice. Dessert selection is poor. The coffees were luke warm than hot. Large latte was all foam and less coffee.
Food was fantastic and very affordable, a big breakfast, croissant, bacon and 2 drinks was under $40. Our server Billy was lovely and super helpful. We would definitely recommend!
Really affordable option in the city, that sells some really good quality food! It's a shame that it's a casino exclusive, I think it would be great for businesses if families could have access to this restaurant too!
Also had a really great dessert option, which was $10 for coffee and cake! Highly recommend! Will continue to go here!
My only criticism is that I wish there was a greater selection of meals that were available!
Located inside the casino area, no bookings needed, pretty casual and laid back. Reasonably priced no frills mains with changing specials. Steak is consistently good for the price, however the desserts we have had here have been average at best, in particular the crumble which was very dry. Stick to the mains and coffee and can’t go wrong.
Wow, good value for money restaurant right in the casino proper. To top it off my pork meal for $19 also covered Casino parking as part of a deal. Well pleased. Will eat here again.
Get a vegan avocado toast here at half the price of the other restaurants . Only downside is constant jangle of pokies in the background and vague smell of disinfectant on the tables. Opens early if you need bite before heading to airport . Baked items looked really good but didn’t get to try them .
