I was in Vegas for a couple of days and wanted to get off the strip for some food. So my wife and I drove to Henderson and stopped at the Second Chances Tavern. The ambiance as we walked in was laid back and the place was very clean. When we got there, we had two people greet us and get us drinks promptly. We ordered the Philly Egg Rolls, which were amazing! The exec chef came out and chatted with us a for a bit which was cool and he was very friendly. Will definitely be going back on our next trip to Vegas! read more

The food is phenomenal. Everything I have tried has been delicious. The Steak salad was incredible! The various options of sports games to watch are definitely a big draw! Allison provides the best service. She is always kind and helpful with everything. read more

The sign says "everybody deserves a second chance" well I don't know. In the restaurant biz you really gotta put out that Wow factor on the first visit to get people to come back... So yeah first time and we stated this to our server Naveah. We sat close to the bar. We were approached and ordered drinks. Brunch basics. I said I understand this is the home of the Championship Bloody Mary (2025 Hammers Bar Contest) yes it is. I ordered it and well it was pretty basic, not bad, not spectacular but that's okay! We ordered an app, Coma Rolls, took a while to come out and we expected to get entrees at the same time, nope app came first-good. But it came minus the Turkey Gravy. When we got the servers attention and asked she went to the kitchen and returned to tell us the chef said that it wasn't ready yet and would take another 20 min.?? Did we want White Gravy? No fine food comes out looking great. My Salmon Salad, when she proudly stated it was Sushi Grade Salmon I was sold was really overdone The remainder of the salad was very enjoyable. My wife asked for a Club Lightly Toasted- no problem. It was Super Toasted and hard to eat for her. Also the menu said House Smoked Turkey, sorry but this is sliced Deli Turkey from a supplier. The Strawberry smash was really hard to drink due to the chunks of muddled strawberry in the bottom of the glass and the slim straw. Would have been better made from fresh purée and a bigger straw. So you are probably thinking I am being picky. Well perhaps but when you go out a place really needs to make your visits memorable in order to get you to come back. Not saying we won't but... No Wow Factor! read more

Well, I don't drink at all.... BUT a friend and I stopped here for a quick lunch . The vibe here screamed "friendly neighborhood restaurant". The menu had quite a few different options including some specials. The service was quick, and personable (Brownie points!) The Philly cheese steak eggrolls with some creamy "A-1" sauce was uncommon and savory. In a good way. The Burger i had.......OMG it was tasty and i enjoyed every bite. Burgers are everywhere in this town, but it's hard to find one that's genuinely...good. I saw that they did have a happy hour that looked pretty decent. I'll stick to the food and leave the drinking to the professionals! read more

Another late night visit and I was excited to bring my friend to experience how wonderful the food is. The staff is always friendly and everything is homemade. I ordered the chicken and vegetables with rice bowl which was incredible! The chicken was cooked very nicely and with tons of flavor. Due to the time of evening I'm glad it was not a very heavy dish. But we did have to have the coma roll as usual! Great job everybody! read more

Went for the first time last night. What a wonderful experience. Met Jimmy, one of the owners who greeted us so warmly that we knew we were in for great time. When we said it was our first visit here Jimmy took time to give us the history of Second Chances. He walked us through the menu, his pride in their scratch cooking came through as well. We had drinks first, never feeling rushed. We both ordered burgers, one with fries, one with tater tots. As Jimmy checked on us we learned more and more about Second Chances. All in all, great drinks, great food, terrific service and enough TVs to see any sporting event being televised. We are glad we came and will come back enough times that we become regulars. read more

I believe I got food poisoning with my order on Saturday. My husband and I both order appetizers and I added chicken to the nachos. I started vomitting around 2am followed up with "D" I am requesting a refund on my order. I tried to find an email on your website to keep this off of yelp. Since you will not take any responsibility, I will put in a credit card charge back. The nacho's was all I had eater for the day, so it was 100% the nachos. L.Rossi read more

What's not to rave about this place ? The atmosphere is wonderful. The bartenders and staff are extremely personable and make you feel like you are home, whether you sit at the bar or in the dining room. It's a great 'Cheers' atmosphere where you get to know your regulars and staff. You become part of the family. I have had the pleasure to meet the owners of the Tavern and they are wonderful. They go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. They support the community, and just completed a school drive that was for schools supplies for the upcoming year. The food and menu is a chef driven collaboration of outstanding flavors and ideas. Daily and weekly specials are outstanding. From what this place was before, to what it has turned out to be now, is tremendous and outstanding. It's a place my wife and I bring our friends to and enjoy everyone's company, beverages and a huge assortment of menu options to please almost anyone from simple burgers salads and steaks to creative pasta dishes and specials. If you haven't gone there yet, you are missing out! Trust me, from someone who has been in the food and beverage industry for over 30 years, this place has done it right! Congratulations on all your hard work and recent successes and we look forward to more experiences and seeing your continued success. Football season is right around the corner and I know they will do it right for everyone! The machines pay out nicely as well. That's always bonus, but we go for the atmosphere, conversations and the food first! You can gamble any where. read more

Was greeted nicely when we walked in. Our waitress Allison was awesome. Very nice and led our way to great food. We had the Mozzarella sticks which were very good and Chicken Parmesan for dinner. Plenty of food and was very good. We will be back. read more

I'll just start out by saying that this was the first time my wife and I have eaten here. But certainly not the last. We live just down the street and decided to try this out. The greeting as we walked in was very casual but we didn't go unnoticed. One of the bartenders acknowledged us and said just go ahead and sit wherever you want. We picked a booth so we could watch the multiple TV's, FIFA World Cup. We got seated and then greeted by our waitress, Alyssa. I have to say in full disclosure that I looked at previous reviews and looked at the menu. So I already had a good idea of what I wanted to try. I selected the steak salad and my wife wanted the salmon salad. Alyssa asked how I wanted my ribeye steak and of course it has to be medium rare. OMG, when the food arrived, it looked amazing. And I'll say right now that I'm sorry that I didn't take a pic prior to digging in. I had to try my wife's dish. I've had a lot of salmon and cooked it a lot. But this one was so good and so moist. Not dry and flaky at all. And my steak was cooked to perfection. Like my wife told me, "I've never seen you eat that much salad, ever" We both finished our meals. We didn't want anything heavy, but we wanted to get our fill and get our money's worth. We got both. And as a bonus, Alyssa was always checking on us. Very attentive and we never felt forgotten. And she had multiple tables. It didn't look like an overly busy night, but it was definitely a good sized crowd. The music was ok, not my taste but was not terrible. The vibe was really good. Like I said at the beginning of this review. This was our first time there, but definitely NOT OUR LAST. read more

Heard good things about saw the amazing pancake choices so came to check it out. However we didn't end up with pancakes at all. Guess we will have to try again. Very clean restaurant. Amazing huge windows looking down into Vegas. Friendly staff. Mariah was our sever and she was awesome! Gave me a great recommendation for my wings and they were great! The mister had a smash burger. Yummy! We met the owner Justin he is running a great place. He checked on us a few times as well. Just enough that it wasn't too much. Always a nice touch when an owner is there and approachable. Great happy hour items and VGK and NFL specials. We will have to come try soon! And patio area so you can bring your dog too! read more

We walked in and sat ourselves, waitress came right over and greeted us. We ordered and the food came pretty quick, presentation was awesome. I got the turkey club and my guy got the Chiquillas breakfast. Food was very tasty! And the whole vibe there was super chill, sports on tv, not too loud tho but the music being piped in was really good! Found myself dancing along and not wanting to leave. From where we sat we could see the strip and mountains just an amazing experience! read more

Okay, so we're back being regulars on Sunday after church--even though the place changed everything. No breakfast after church because they stop serving at 12. No smoke protection Glass divider between the bar and restaurant. Big TVs blasting sports everywhere Menu completely different Nonetheless, our favorite waitress, Karen Pratt is still there treating us as VIPs. So, we're back. read more

This place was killer. I'm conflicted, I'm trying to be a skinny legend like Mariah Carey, but I absolutely love my sports. This gave me the best of both worlds, I got to have a healthy meal, watch all the games, and enjoy the good old company of Hendertucky. Karen was an awesome server, who was friendly, and acted like a Sherpa guiding us through the menu. Everything was stellar, didn't have a bad item read more

I enjoyed the food, it was a little expensive ($17 for a chicken Caesar salad). It seemed a little smoky so a better air system should've been invested in. Take out orders are a little unorganized. read more

The food is delicious - atmosphere casual fun! I had the Prime Rib Sandwich which was quite tasty and tender. The sub roll was warmed and perfectly soft (unlike the brick hard sub rolls served elsewhere). Mariah (Moriah - not sure of name spelling) was absolutely a great server. Provided information on events and food specials at Second Chances. She executed exceptional service and graciously welcomed us newbie's to town. Kudos read more

OMG! Just ordered food to go and it was delicious! The portions were huge and not what I would expect from a tavern. Whoever the chef is did amazing. I would definitely order again, especially with limited choices in this part of Henderson. Service was great too, I had a drink while I waited for my food and bartender was so friendly and attentive. read more

Finally a restaurant in the area focused on food quality. The menu is simple and good. Casual dining done well.

Delicious food, the chef is great. Scratch kitchen. The service is always great and we love them all but Alison always goes over the top ! But really of the staff is great and they always working hard. It does allow smoking but it's not overpowering. I highly recommend this place. read more

Second Chances Tavern - Salmon Signature Salad - New American Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

This was honestly a concerning experience. I ate here recently and experienced severe vomiting and diarrhea shortly after. Another person who ate the same meal later had the same symptoms. When I called to inform them, the response felt very dismissive rather than taking the situation seriously. I understand things can happen, but food safety and customer care should be a priority. I hope this is properly looked into, as I will be reporting it for review. read more

Love this place the food is awesome. The service is excellent. I usually come in when Hayden is the bartender and he takes care of me and makes me feel like I'm the only one at the bar! read more

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, and every single person in our group couldn't stop raving about their meal not one miss across the table. The feel and ambience of the tavern were spot-on: warm, welcoming, and the kind of place you instantly want to settle into and stay awhile. The service was excellent from start to finish, and what really stood out was seeing the owner actually in the establishment, checking in and making sure everything was perfect and that guests were enjoying themselves. You can truly tell this place is run with pride and care. Great owners, incredible food, amazing atmosphere. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough and will absolutely be back! read more

For those who have not yet eaten at the Second Chance bar and restaurant, you are missing out at a great spot. We have eaten there six or seven times. I don't say this very often. The food has been great!. Prime Rib on Wednesdays, brisket on Fridays, their own mix of hamburger everyday, great chips. Excellent service. Met the chef on father's day. Great personality and this man can cook. Take a chance. Go there. Dale and Mary dare you to take a chance. My friend are glad they did read more

First time at this establishment. The waitress was super friendly and very helpful. The ambience is nice and comfortable. The food we had was delicious . We will definitely be back. read more

Had lunch there yesterday. Amazing BYO burger, great flavor and a half-pound patty. Done perfectly and with toppings of your choice. Service was great as well. Atmosphere was great, sports bar feel, but also a great view of the Las Vegas valley. Very nice. Definitely coming back!! read more

Several weeks back, I did a delivery order of two Smash Burgers and fries. They didn't do well in transit and got soggy from the steam, but the flavor was good! So I decided we needed to go TO them this time and have two Smash Burgers and fries fresh off the grill and on a plate. All I can say is WOW!!! The best burger my husband and I ever had!! And even though I like to dip my fries in ketchup, these fries were so good that I didn't want to taint them with it! Our server was super friendly and attentive, too. I asked her about the bone-in filet they offer and she raved about it, so we'll definitely be coming back more often to try that and more of those Smash Burgers! Wonderful restaurant in the Lake Las Vegas/Calico Ridge neighborhood! read more

After having a really bad experience at flowing tide pub, we walked into this bar and I'm so glad we did! Hayden was our bartender and he was so sweet! Sweet enough to let me vent haha!! Not only was he a good listener but his service was 10/10. The food was also was absolutely delicious! Hayden recommended we tried the elote and so glad we did!! It was ssooo good!! And his margarita was to die for !! I'll definitely be a regular from now on! read more

We love the staff. They are friendly and efficient. The food and drinks are excellent. A very fun atmosphere

Excellent food and service! Absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was fun too! Lots of tv, indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks to choose from and sitting outside offers a great view! I highly recommend it! We had a variety of different plates , appetizers, mains and desserts, and they were all delicious. Great portions and great presentations. We drove across the valley to go there and it was worth it. I highly recommend it - definitely a 10/10. Enjoy! We sure did. read more

Food was great and priced well. Service never left us wanting. Jimmy was our server and was second to none. My girl ordered lobster bisque. Incredibly flush with lobster and I don't mean scraps. Big chunks. I had chicken wings and they were cooked perfect. Nothing dry about them. Kudos to the cook. Bartender, I think owner along with her husband lacked nothing. We hope for the best in success for them and these two have turned that property around totally. I'm sure they are nervous , as anyone would be, regarding " I hope we made the right choice doing this". Rest assured, They made the right choice Get over there and reassure them that this business will work. It will be worth your time, efforts and money. read more

We went there a week after opening. Beautiful space! We started with the brisket fries, delicious! Generous porion. I had the cheeseburger with tots (tots are the best choice!). It was perfectly cooked on a potato bun. Wife had the same thing minus the bun. Our server Karen was very nice and did a great job. The owner came by and asked this how everything was. We appreciate that. We like friendly neighborhood places like this. We will be back. read more
