    Chicken Marsala
    Jaynar S.

    We came for the Thursday $18 Half Rack Ribs special. Unfortunately, it was not worth it. My wife had the Chicken Sandwich which was also not good. The chicken breast was poor quality and dry. It's obvious its a precooked/processed piece of chicken that they just simply heat up. My salad was old and soggy. Because it's Halloween season, I guess they figured tons of super-giant spiders on the wall would be appealing while eating. Friendly service, however both our cloth napkins were dirty when we arrived. We were contemplating on trying their Saturday steak special, but now we feel this place is only good for cocktails and drinks.

    We tried the Steak & Lobster special last Saturday (only available on Wednesdays and Saturdays), and it was pretty good overall. My two daughters (ages 9 and 12) each ordered one as well, and they really enjoyed the lobster. The steaks were just okay, not premium quality, but honestly, for the price, there's not much to complain about. The only downside was the wait. We arrived around 5:15 pm but didn't get seated until about 5:35 pm, which was a bit longer than expected. Also, it's pretty far from the strip. I mean... far. Tip: If you prefer better-quality meat, you can upgrade the steak for an additional charge.

    I did a to go order of the Mediterranean chicken wrap a jc side salad and a side of guacamole. The tzatziki was bland. I think it was missing dill maybe. The guac was amazing. I should have got a chicken wrap with guacamole if that was an option. The wrap was actually too much food for me so I saved the salad for later.

    Visited John Cutter on Wednesday for their dinner special of steak and lobster. We arrived at 5:30 and were lucky to obtain the last booth. All of the remaining tables were high top. Service was prompt by our server Brooke. My wife and I each ordered the special and upgraded to Filet Mignon Steak. The steak and lobster were 6 oz. each. Our side dish was the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes. I was skeptical of the food because of the very reasonable price steak and lobster $25 or upgrade to any streak cut for a total of $45. The food arrived in a short time and it was perfectly cooked. The lobster was tender and served with melted butter. The steaks were cooked medium rare and well done exactly as ordered and both were tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. Brooke checked on us several times during dinner. The upgrade to the Filet Mignon was a great choice. We also signed up for the loyalty club and received a $40 discount on our bill. John Cutter has specials on other nights and we put them on our return list.

    My husband and I finally had time for a date night after a long, hard week. We were in the area and my sister had recommended this restaurant several times, so we gave it a try. It's a small, quaint bar/tavern. We were greeted pleasantly and seated right away. We sat at a booth that had a very pretty chandelier hanging above us, TVs had the baseball game on...so far so good! Our waitress greeted us and asked if it was our first time there, we said yes, and she explained their specials , including a steak and lobster dinner for $25! We ordered two beers (they have an extensive selection, but they're only bottles, no draft) and we also ordered two appetizers...the potato wedges and the "2 soft pretzels". For our entree, we went with 2 of their specials, and asked for the steaks to be cooked medium well/well..just so there isn't any pink inside. Beers came out. Then the pretzels...when the server set the plate down, I felt embarrassed that my husband ordered them. They were the frozen "super pretzels" that you get at little league snack shacks. They basically microwaved them according to directions, slathered with butter and salt, and served them for $13! On their website they show a plate with 2 golden and crispy pretzels, not tan and rubbery. My husband was starving, so he let it go, and ate some until our entrees came out. The plate looked good! Decent sized steak that looked well seasoned and a small lobster tail. I gave the lobster tail to my husband as I don't like seafood, and cut into my steak. It seemed as if it was cooked to the right temperature, so I go to put the first bite in my mouth, and I smelled something odd. I thought perhaps it was the chilli oil they put on top, so I took the bite. It had no type of seasoning flavor, just a strange almost gamey taste. I put some salt on it and tried to take a few more bites, but I could tell that this was an old piece of meat that was spoiling. It had a sour smell and taste. Meanwhile, my husband cuts into his and it's way undercooked, and he asked the waitress for it to be cooked longer. I asked my husband if his steak had the same smell and he said no, it was just mine. When the waitress returned again with my husbands steak, I politely told her something was really off, maybe if she just wanted to smell it she would see instantly what I was talking about. I explained I wasn't boujee when it comes to steak, it doesn't need to be anything fancy, just not have spoiled. She said she would ask the manager what he could do. I'm grossed out at this point, embarrassed, and disappointed we couldn't have a simple dinner together. The waitress came back and told me the manager would take care of my steak but charge me for the lobster tail, since I gave it to my husband. I said ok reluctantly, thinking really? I didn't eat any dinner! When we got the bill, I was charged $16 for my dinner(the lobster tail). So essentially the manager took $9 dollars off of our bill for my spoiled steak dinner getting sent back. My husband did not eat his steak either. He was grossed out and even with them cooking it longer, it was still raw inside. To top it off, plastered all over the restaurant is a loyalty club you can join and "get $40 off of your bill TODAY" I went through all of the sign up steps, showed the waitress after receiving our check and she said I could only get $20 off, not the $40 that I was literally holding in my hands. That doesn't seem like loyalty to me...it was very misleading and gives you the taken advantage of feeling. The manager didn't come over to apologize for my dinner being foul, or hey sorry this was your first experience I hope we can make it right in the future, nothing. It's unfortunate and like I always say...word of mouth in this town can make you or break you. You have to treat everyone the way you would want your family to be treated, and you'll have so much success! As someone who was born and raised here in beautiful Las Vegas, it pains me to have to give a local business a bad review...but at the same time, these local businesses should have more pride and be held to the standards Las Vegas' dining scene is held to.

    Just recently returned to this restaurant. The food, service, and ambiance is still great. Their Grilled Salmon Salad was Delicious!!!

    The food at John Cutter is consistently good! Tried the shrimp tacos and they were great! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and has a fun atmosphere. The real draw are the servers! They're friendly and fun to be around! All around great experience!

    Do not go to this place, just don't. Service is terrible, even when there is no one on the place. The servers are super rude, I don't know if it's because of the incident they had with the camera, but this place is terrible. And let me tell you something Al's Garage is the best! Seems that John is the bad little brother of this enterprise. Do not got here, they are the worst, but Al's Garage is the BEST! I guess the "camera situation" lowered the customer service

    Can't beat a steak and lobster special on Wednesday and Saturday for $25. Especially if you're eating clean. Upgrade to any cut of meat for $45 total. Dined around 8:30-9pm. Chill atmosphere. Different age ranges of customers. I wasn't expecting the best steak and lobster at this price, but it was what we expected. Not great, but not terrible. The salad and asparagus were both delicious. Our server was super sweet too. Ate outside on the patio. They have a spicy chicken Caesar wrap on the menu. Heading back for that next time.

    The vibe and atmosphere here at John Cutter is relaxing and social. The music also has a low laid back island, reggae-ish sound. The bar area is nice and the alcohol selection is pretty large. I brought my friends here from Houston and honestly, I am waiting to see how good the food is once it gets to our table. Its actually my first time here but Ive eaten at Als garage right next door and it was so delicious!! This spot should be just the same. Standby for an update... Okay, so, the update.... The salmon and asparagus was delicious. The caesar salad was just ok. Hannah, our server, was the best. She has a good vibe, she was also laid back and helpful with all of our orders and she was very professional and polite. Thanks to Hannah for serving us today! The restrooms are nice and clean which is always great.

    Ask the Community - John Cutter

    Do they still have Sunday 1/2/50% off deals?

    I think so Go to their Website or Google Again I thought is wasn’t very good

    Is Tuesday $7 burger special all day?

    Yes...7am to 7am.

    Are the specials available all day?

    Yes

    Is $19 steak and lobster everyday?

    No it's Wednesday and Saturday.

    Is it kid friendly?

    Yes, however the hostess staff is terrible and rude. Our waitress was awesome.

    Is the gambling area separated from the dining area? Is smoking allowed inside the restaurant?

    They have the typical video poker games at the bar area but no smoking allowed.

    With this pandemic going on and customers like myself not feeling comfortable eating out, why doesn't your restaurant offer take out on the specials? I feel this is a time when you should allow your specials to be available to go?

    Do you need to make a reservation?

    They only accept walk ins now.

    Do you still do half priced steaks on Sunday?

    Yes

    Let me start with saying the views were absolutely beautiful and created such a relaxing atmosphere…read morewhich was perfect for a nice dinner outside. The food itself was delicious and clearly well prepared. One thing to note is that the dinner menu does not offer many options for more selective eaters, but the staff was incredibly accommodating. We were able to order a burger and fries even though it was not on the menu. We also appreciated being able to order calamari and an affogato, which were also off menu. Overall, between the stunning views, great food, and flexible service, it was a really enjoyable dining experience. I've been here a few times and I'm never disappointed. My girlfriends and I had a great time.

    I recently visited Americana Restaurant in the Desert Shores community and had a truly memorable…read moremeal. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting -- the dining room feels elegant but relaxed, and if you can snag a seat with a view of the lake, it's absolutely worth it. We started with a couple of appetizers that were beautifully presented and flavorful, and the entrees didn't disappoint either. The menu offers a nice balance of modern American cuisine with some creative twists, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I ordered lobster of course and hubby had steak. Service was attentive without being overbearing -- our server checked in just the right amount and was great with recommendations. The pace between courses was perfect, making the meal feel leisurely and enjoyable. Bonus points for the Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys -- a fun option if you're looking for a weekend treat. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want a nice dinner with a view, this place delivers. Highly recommend! Will be returning soon :)

Started with the Somm wine flight on a Thursday night. 4 wines chosen at random by the sommelier. First off, great idea! Second, they were delicious choices. The menu is mostly filled sharables grouped by vegetables, proteins, etc, and we shared two entrees as well. -Whipped Brie with honey and blackberry. Ask for extra bread, you will want to finish it. -Macatie mushrooms in garlic sauce. Star of the night. -Tagliatelle + scallops. Good and fresh, but a bit disappointing as the scallops were tiny instead of large...felt like a frozen bag was added -Shrimp w garlic and chile. Wow! Just wow. Should have asked for bread here, but I was too full to add bread. I could have licked the plate for this garlic chile sauce! Great service. Atmosphere is smaller restaurant with tables close to each other that offer a view of kitchen or window. Despite table proximity, noise was manageable enough to have conversation. It was fun to seek Kay, co owner energetically checking in on every table. Will be back!

    I've been fortunate enough to enjoy several meals at Ada's, but this was my first visit (on…read more4/29/26) to their new location in downtown. To be honest, my party of two had already imbibed a flight of beers at CraftHaus across the street AND eaten a basket of their loaded tots, so we were kind of already full before we decided to pop on in for more food. - Whipped brie with blackberry and honey: smooth, dare I say light, sweet, creamy, served with triangles of toasted brioche... this was a delightful dish. We ended up running out of bread so the waitstaff generously brought us another round. - Lemon pepper pork ribs + house ranch: GET THIS! I was kind of stuffed by the time this dish came out, but the ribs were FALLING OFF THE BONES and the ranch was the perfect dip for them. SO freaking flavorful. - Mick's royale with cheese: I am a huge fan of burgers. The waiter confidently told us there isn't a better cheeseburger in town, and I think he might have been right. It was GIVING everything one would want in a hearty burger. Meaty, juicy, crispy edges, cheesy, saucy. DELICIOUS. I can't wait for my next visit, except next time, I'll make sure not to pre-eat beforehand! ;D
