Pulled pork sandwich
Savannah R.

So wifey and I wanted to try something new rather than a 5 normal places and we were looking around on Yelp and came across this bar! Walking in the vibes are it, very beach forward themed smaller restaurant area and decency size bar with keno machines. The bartender is friendly and super welcoming. Everything is decorated so cute as well. We sat at 2 machines, got cards, and your first 20 points you get $20 freeplay so that's a bonus. The machines we are on are keeping us on our toes. The menu is a decent size we ordered the pulled pork sandwich & the French Toast & both were BOMB. The flavor on the pork was amazing and the sweet roll French toast was just sweet enough. Would highly recommend and we will be returning. 06/03 10:00 PM

Dive bar vibes yet super clean and spacious. Bartender was super friendly and patrons were fun and conversational. Tons of TVs showing all the live sports games, 4 electronic dart bards, a pool table, and about a dozen beers on tap. Chill reggae music playing making it a great spot to do some work or hang out for a couple drinks. Happy hour has good drink and food specials.

Served me the smallest wings. Two fit in a sauce cup

Went there for sports. I'm not calling it game night because they do have trivia. Ordered the $15 dollar wings. These were the smallest wings I have seen in my life. The cook actually thought it was appropriate to serve these to us. Tasted good but look at the picture. Place was empty but only had one server.

Solid. Was gonna go to a familiar but delicious spot for my birthday but woman showed some videos and the menu sounded yummy here so we came. Wasn't super busy, we were greeted when we walked in. Jessica was fabulous! Knowledgeable, attentive, kind and funny. She was able to answer every question we had about the menu and her recommendations were spot on. We did the 3 for $20 app platter w surfboards, potstickers and Rangoon. Delicious! Everything tasted fresh and the house made marinara and ranch were amazing. Lots of things on the menu were appealing but I ultimately did the garlic noodz w shrimp and woman did the piccata. Jessica knew the piccata was lemony and that the noodz paired better with the shrimp than meatballs and she wasn't wrong. They could've put a couple more shrimp on but given what they charge it's probably on par. My food was good but it got better overnight. The garlic set in and the bread was amazing!!! They had a lot of things on the menu I'd come back to try. I'd also come back for Jessica's amazing service. She really made the visit. The place itself is spacious and we had our pick of tables. Naturally I did the VIP one in the corner. It was made for royalty lol. Lots of screens and one had cute animals and bloopers. They had another announcing upcoming events at tavern and what the different days specials are. Great food and experience. Jessica said they got busier after the video came out so they schedule staff to accommodate. The waits were reasonable and we had a great experience.

Nice little hole-in-the-wall gaming bar with a great vibe! Everyone was friendly when we walked in, and the atmosphere felt really welcoming. We only gambled this time but definitely want to come back and try the food. I can't remember our bartender's name, but she was the younger woman with light brown hair working this past Monday night--super friendly and an excellent bartender!

This my spot! It's clean, friendly, and completely smoke free. They offer a great selection of food and drinks, and the burgers are bomb! Trivia every Wed is a lot of fun too

I love coming to the tavern, the food is always good, the staff is super friendly and I always have a great time participating in trivia on Wednesdays.

Spaghetti and meatballs special
Robert B.

We went on a Thursday night to catch the spaghetti dinner specials. Pulled up thought the spot was a bit sketch but cool. Rolled in and found the interior to be pretty cool. Our server Jaimie, with two i,s in her name was awesome. She pretty much was the entire staff. Now the spaghetti. Normal boiled noodles and canned sauce. The meatballs were two formed and fried balls of hamburger. Not much for spice. More reliant on the sauce. No garlic bread in sight. The martini was good. The shot of cinnamon whiskey was generous and the 805 on tap was nice and cold. The price was also very nice on everything.

All of the food for the $50 Buffet AYCE, right in front of their restroom :)
Emily A.

We had really disappointing experiences. Just look at the photos and ask yourself if this is worth a $50 buffet: boiled chicken, salad, fries, sausage, beans... Everything was bland and cold. It was shockingly bad, even Golden Corral does a far better job. Yes, the price includes unlimited beer, but realistically, how many beers can you drink to justify a $50 ticket when the food is this poor? And FYI, it's unlimited cheap beer, soft drinks like Coke or tea aren't even included. I expected them to maintain at least a decent standard, but this was truly unacceptable. It feels like they cut corners in the worst way and ended up driving customers away. They don't host buffets often, so this should have been a chance for people to sample their dishes and want to return. Instead, it did the opposite. You genuinely feel like they just wanted to rip you off and didn't care about your experience at all.

Bathroom Designations
Bernard S.

12 former employees from the old MGM Grand/Bally's slot department met at The Tavern. Mario (?) put together tables and chairs. We had pizza and drinks while talking about old times. Rap music although not appropriate was not too loud. Appreciate the effort to accommodate us. Bathroom door displays very unusual.

Moved the corn over to see how much grease and butter it's sitting in.

Sometimes the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" really does hold true. Just take a look…read moreat this steak and lobster! Hands down one of the best steak and lobster meals I've ever had in my life, and the fact that Herbs & Rye offers half-off steaks during their daily happy hour makes it that much better. The quality of food you're getting for the price is almost unbelievable, especially in Las Vegas. Everything about this meal was phenomenal, from the perfectly cooked steak to the lobster. It's the kind of dinner you find yourself thinking about weeks later. My only complaint? I can't come here more often! Reservations can be tough to snag, but that just tells me everyone else has figured out how incredible this place is. Between the intimate atmosphere, fantastic food, and incredible value, Herbs & Rye is one of the best date night spots in Las Vegas. There's a reason this place has earned such a great reputation. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Dined here on a Saturday night; 6pm reservations. Overall it was a bit of a mixed bag but somewhat…read moredisappointing in regards to the food flavors. We had been to Herbs & Rye a few times in the past just for cocktails and I can't recommend enough the bar service. Excellent quality ingredients and knowledgeable mixologists who are happy to customize any drink to your taste. The restaurant interior is a cool speakeasy vibe. It's bustling but in a good way. For dinner we had a party of three and we started with the French onion soup, the wedge salad and the beef sliders. The soup was very bland - it was in dire need of salt and the cheese was not flavorful at all (it was maybe a mozzarella or some other melty application?) It needs to be a greuyere or something else with a kick. The salad also was in need of seasoning. The ingredients were good quality but the dish was overall bland. The sliders were ok - the horseradish sauce was a welcome bit of flavor. For entrees we shared the blue cheese pork chop, the filet and the cacio y pepe pasta with sides of creamed corn and sweet potato tots. I ordered the pork chop medium and unfortunately it was served well done (and as a result very dry). The flavors were ok but the garlic mashed potatoes on the side were also extremely dry. The filet and pasta were fine - nothing to write home about. The sweet potato tots were probably (and sadly) the highlight of the meal. Clearly homemade and very fresh and tasty. The creamed corn was way too loose and as a result lacked very much flavor. We finished with the dessert platter which presented each of the menu desserts but in a smaller portion. The only item I cared for was the apple bread pudding. The rest of the items weren't prepared properly. For example the crème brûlée custard was overcooked and broken and most of everything else was also overcooked and dry. Because this is an independent locals place we really wanted to love it but I just can't recommend it for a dinner. Cocktails yes; food no. On the bright side the service is excellent. Our server Victor took great care of us and the food runners and bussers are awesome. Dinner for three came to $239 before tax and tip which included three glasses of wine and one cocktail. If the food preparation was just a little bit better it'd be one of the best values in Vegas.

When you live in Las Vegas, visiting friends frequently ask, "What's your favorite restaurant?"…read moreIt's a tough question--Vegas has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to dining. But after about eight visits, Sparrow + Wolf has become my answer. The folks at Michelin seem to agree: they recently included it in their guide. Like many of the best restaurants here, S+W is tucked into a corner of a nondescript strip mall in Chinatown, west of the Wynn. The dining room is small, dimly lit, and elegant without a hint of pretense. No tablecloths, just solid wood tables. The atmosphere feels more like a lively dinner party than a stuffy restaurant, and the focus is squarely on the food. It delivers. Chef and owner Brian Howard's approach is modern American cooking with global influences, particularly Asian. Before you even walk in, the aroma of wood-fired cooking draws you toward the door like a siren song. Sharing dishes is the best way to experience this place. The menu changes frequently, but there are a few dishes whose removal might inspire me to stage a protest outside. So I'm skipping down the menu to start with my favorite: Bánh Cuốn ($21): Ground duck, wood ear mushrooms, and habanero wrapped in delicate rice sheets and served in a coconut sauce that will have you reaching for a spoon. Three pieces come to an order, but you can add a fourth. I love this dish so much that I frequently order it twice. It captures the care and attention to detail that make the food here so special. Two of the "snacks" deserve particular mention: Isaan Sausage ($7): Two slices of Thai fermented pork sausage made with garlic and rice, served with gem lettuce, perilla leaf, green mango, and nam pla (fish sauce). The sausage's tangy, slightly sour flavor makes for a terrific opening bite. Wood-Roasted Dates ($7): Three dates on a skewer with lamb belly bacon, pistachio, goat cheese, Aleppo pepper, and honey. Sweet, salty, smoky, and rich--the perfect tease for the meal to come. Another dish in the "don't ever take this off the menu" category is the Oxtail Hummus ($19), with crispy chickpeas, curry oil, and naan. A generous portion of meltingly tender oxtail sits in silky hummus. You'll want to put that naan to work and leave nothing behind. Snapper Tostada ($26): Raw snapper tossed with salsa macha, fermented strawberry, and toasted sesame, served on a blue corn tostada. It reminded me of a Peruvian ceviche, with its own distinctive combination of flavors. Wonderful. For larger plates, two stand out: Coal-Roasted Dry-Aged Dorade ($65): Served with calamansi, serrano pepper, and koji butter, the whole fish arrives split and filleted. I'm running out of adjectives, so let's just call it somewhere beyond delicious. Mishima Ranch Zabuton ($58): Steak lovers, this one is for you. Zabuton is a richly marbled shoulder cut prized for its tenderness and buttery flavor. Here, it's wood-roasted, served with puréed potatoes, and finished with a delicate Panang curry. I could not stop eating it. Brian is also a sommelier, and the wine list is extensive and interesting. Refreshingly, the prices don't start at $150 and climb from there. There are plenty of excellent wines at reasonable prices. The cocktail menu changes regularly, too. One current standout is "Fat of the Land" ($19): Las Vegas Distillery gin, pandan, lime leaf, jasmine-steeped coconut milk, and melon. Oh, and this review will also serve as my request to bring back the "This is the Way" cocktail! Then there's dessert. You have to try the Vietnamese Coffee--and no, it's not a drink. Coffee ice cream, Maracaibo crémeux, black Okinawa sugar, and condensed milk espuma. You'll be scraping the bottom of the dish to get every last bit. The service is warm and welcoming, completing a meal that keeps me coming back. If there were a sixth star, I'd leave it.

Overall enjoyable dinner. The server was helpful with describing the dishes and aiding us in our…read moreselections. Dishes can be shared family style for a 3-4 people depending on appetites. Beef carpaccio was a modernized twist to the Vietnamese dish. Recommended. Oxtail hummus was a heartier dish and good contrast to the lighter carpaccio starter. Oxtail was decently tender, braised in a savory sauce. I liked the combination with the hummus to balance. Roasted cabbage - I always get roasted cabbage and this one didn't disappoint. Whole Dorade - flavorful, gental citrus sauce that complemented the white fish. It was deboned and filleted, making it easy to eat. Lamb was excellently prepared as well. Hard to pick between this and the Dorade, so go with what you're craving or just get both - you won't regret it. Honey cheese plate with triple cream Brie was worth it. The grilled milk bread goes very well with the spread. Recommended. Baked Alaska - fun dessert flambéed in rum table side. It was way too sweet for my taste. Others at the table disliked the bitterness from the burned rum.
