Centennial Nco Club - Fort Bliss

We went for Father's Day Brunch.I couldn't have imagined how much food there was.There was a carving station with au jus.The entree dishes were Carne asada, chicken fajitas, sliders, ham and cheese sandwiches, bacon, sausages, crepe, French toast, waffles, and I'm leaving out some. The sides were steamed vegetables, fruit salad, pasta salad, mashed potatoes, past salad, French fries, shrimp cocktail, scrambled eggs, biscuit and gravy, etc. I could go on and on.While you were waiting, kids got their faces painted for free. You were seated in a gorgeous ballroom with elegant decorations.The waitstaff made sure our mimosa glasses was filled to the top at all time. The place was kid friendly. The food was great. We almost needed rolled out. Reservations are required for special events.

This review is only for the Dining Room experience, and after it re-opened for lunch on June 22, 2020 after being closed for three months. Unlike having some options such as salad only, salad/soup buffet or main daily-themed full course buffet with salad buffet, it now only offers a cafeteria-style main course serving line. Drink choices are either bottled water or canned soft drinks. You can ask any of the staff persons circulating the dining area for seconds or any additional items you wish since you will not be able to return to the serving line, so it's still de facto all-you-can-eat lunch for $10.25. Daily menu theme has not been changed, so Monday is Asian; Tuesday is Mexican; Wednesday is German; Thursday is BBQ; and Friday is Soul Food (perhaps the most popular day). Lunch is from 11 am to 1 pm. Dining area seating is less than what it used to be due to maintaining proper distancing among patrons. Seating is up to four per table. You have to keep your face mask upon entering the facility, use hand sanitizer, register your name, and then proceed to the serving line maintaining distancing. Just follow the marking on the floor--it's one-way traffic so that you can avoid running into other patrons. You have a choice of taking your food out, or dine-in. Obviously, you can take your face mask when you sit down to eat. I enjoyed my German food on Wednesday (photo). I will probably start making this place my regular lunch option as I used to come here before it closed for COVID-19 precautions almost three months ago.

Well, in one short sentence, the food sucked. We went to a ball last night. The food served was probably some chef's idea and I say chef loosely) of fancy food. The plate consisted of: 1 piece of boiled chicken, slathered in Dijon mustard and covered with walnuts. 1 piece of what looked like last week's roast at the DFAC covered in a brown sauce with mushrooms mashed potatoes, and those were the only item on the plate that had any appeal a spoonful of shredded, boiled vegetables. The cake? Standard tasteless, too much sugar frosting on some dry cake. Awful. I am glad I don't have to go here too often, cause, man, at the rates they charge, it's awful.

All I have to say is, the nachos, get the nachos! The Samuel Adam's pub is a plus. Beer on tap as well as a pleasant atmosphere!

The place stinks as soon as you walk in. The food is mediocre and the price is above average.
