We had a very good visit this time to Zeffer's Cafe in there Sahara. There was about a 10-15 min wait, but the hostess was suer friendly and worked with staff to seat everyone as quickly as possible. There is free self-parking at the Sahara. On this visit, we got the classic eggs Benedict, the honey blue berry pancakes, and a mimosa. The eggs Benedict had a thicker, fluffy, and moist muffin. There was a sufficient amount of Hollandaise sauce, and the eggs were poached well. The accompanying hash browns were a bit thin, but thick enough so that you got the fluffy inside and crispy outside that they are supposed to have. They could only be improved by being slightly thicker and being more buttery on the inside. On this visit, both the eggs Benedict and the hash browns were superior to those we had the day before at the Grand Lux Buffet in the Venetian. The honey butter pancakes were indeed thicker than your typical pancakes now-days. There are about as thick as pancakes used to be made about 30 years ago before cost cutting hit most restaurants. They came pre-soaked in syrup, which is how pancakes should be eaten, although you may want to ask for the syrup on the side if you want them less sweet. They had real blue berries both on top and cooked inside. They were quite good. We also got a side of turkey bacon to eat with the pancakes, which was much needed--thank you "Man vs. Food" TV show for teaching us to eat bacon with pancakes to enjoy them better so as to break up the starch. Either the eggs Benedict or the pancakes alone would have been sufficient to share, but we really wanted to try to pancakes. ZC's mimosas are canned rather than Prosecco poured into OJ at the restaurant and it was pretty strong. We go an OJ and poured the mimosa into it, which made it taste great with all the sugar in the OJ. The restaurant was pretty full and moderately loud on this visit. Our server (and the.hostess) were super nice and the only service we received at the Sahara that was friendly and excellent so far on this visits--front desk was cold to rude on check in and Chickie & Pete's was poor service. Overall, Zeffer's has provided good food and service on two visits and we would return and recommend you give them a try. read more

Zeffer's Cafe is located in the Sahara and overall, I was pleased with this restaurant, which specializes in breakfast and lunch. The ambiance is bright and cheerful and the service was very good. I went t with the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with French fries and I will say that overall, it was pretty good. I would definitely recommend Zeffer's Cafe and overall, I will give it four stars. read more

Got you -- Vegas brunch girl version: Came here for brunch and it was really good. Portions were solid (you definitely get your money's worth). The bacon was cooked just right, the French toast was fire, and even the eggs weren't too seasoned soo just needed some salt and pepper, It did start getting busy, but thankfully my group made reservations so we didn't have to wait. If you're coming for weekend brunch, I'd definitely recommend reserving ahead because this spot fills up fast. Overall, good food, good portions, and a nice brunch vibe. I'd come back. read more

Really enjoyed my visit here. The Caesar salad was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The ambiance is also a highlight, with a nice, comfortable atmosphere that makes it a great spot to relax. The only downside is that the prices feel a bit on the higher side for what you get, but overall it was still a great experience and I'd come back. read more

Stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Located inside the Sahara Hotel/Casino on the strip. I kept it simple with the grilled cheese and tomato soup, and it really hit the spot. The grilled cheese was perfectly toasted with melty cheese, and the tomato soup was warm, flavorful, and comforting.... exactly what you want for a casual lunch. The café itself is clean with a relaxed vibe. Service was friendly and efficient, making it an easy and enjoyable stop. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying bite that feels a little comforting and familiar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'd happily come back again. read more

Ordered breakfast takeout twice from this spot while staying at the Sahara. Quick service and very tasty. The chicken fried steak with gravy, hash browns, and cheese eggs are pictured in my review. I wasn't the biggest fan of the hash browns (bland and plain). But everything all together was really good. The gravy was amazing and the chicken fried steak was very good quality (no weird pieces or bits). I enjoyed their breakfast! read more

Went here twice during a business trip and the food did not disappoint. We have this $25 credit and i used it for this restaurant to try it out. Food was pretty good. Ordered chicken and waffles for breakfast one day and then steak and eggs the next. I prefer the chicken but both were delicious! read more

We've been coming to Zeffers for years for our annual Las Vegas trip for pancakes. The chocolate chip pancakes have always been a highlight for us with 3 large fluffy pancakes and ample! chocolate chips. Wait times can be long on weekends but typically are pretty quick off season and during the weak. Service has always been fine. Unfortunately they changed the recipe since April 2025 and now I'm not sure what they are, but they aren't traditional pancakes. It looked more like a fried cake. There are 2 and they are 1 inch thick but they no longer resemble pancakes vs an actual cake. They had far fewer chocolate chips and didn't even come with syrup (although maybe they are fried in syrup? Who knows!). You can see the difference in the pictures. I wish they'd change the recipe back...we will be going elsewhere for pancakes after many years of Zeffers. read more

On a Tuesday morning at the Sahara, this is your only breakfast option besides Starbucks. I ordered to go - coffee ($7!) and the Seasonal Fruit Plate ($16). The hostess stand was super pro and super friendly. The fruit was a small, sliced, pithed orange, six slices of honeydew, six slices of cantaloupe, about six blueberries and a strawberry. It was beautiful but after enjoying the $5 fruit cup next door from Prendi's, this felt like too high a price. It was very fresh and pretty. read more

I was out early and I walked into the Sahara hotel and casino, my first time being here and I found Zeffers. I was hungry so I figured let me check them out. I ordered the chicken and waffle which to my surprise was not like I thought it would be. First of all it was pretty big and in vegas more for the price I was paying. Second it was not like many places, served with some wings or drumsticks. It was a chicken large cutlet. I love the waffle, the chicken. Was good too, it just had alot of breading. My mimosa was delicious. Very enjoyable. I'd come back. read more

Located in the Sahara Hotel. We were seated and met by our server. The breakfast menu is basic with no dietary restrictions options. The avocado toast I added salmon. It just needed more flavor. My husband had a basic eggs, toast, frozen potato breakfast. It's the sunrise meal of breakfasts. The restaurant was really quiet to be right outside of the casino. It's almost as if you get away from the sound. Noted it was a weekday. We did not stay at the hotel. read more

If you're staying at Sahara , Zeffers is worth the stop for the practicality. If not, it may not be worth the trip granted how many other great brunch options there are in Vegas. After checking out of the Sahara, my girlfriend and I had afternoon flights and we didn't have enough time to track down a brunch spot in Vegas before hand so Zeffers was our best option. The food itself wasn't horrible. It's average. I ordered a steak and eggs and it wasn't too memorable and my girlfriend's French toast was what you would expect from any diner. The food itself is a 3/5 The service was quite fast, getting us seated quickly and having our orders in without much of a delay. They were courteous to seat us at a spot that gave us room to put our bags down to the side which was nice. Overall 3.5/5. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here but a decent option if you're staying at the Sahara. read more

It's ok. Giving 4 stars. It's inside the Sahara before you enter the casino. $21 for an omelette comes with hashbrowns and toast plus pancakes or $5 more you can get French toast. Service was just ok. My waitress Alexis wasn't the friendliest. Received a dirty glass of water, so check your glasses and silverware. If you want a quick bite to eat and you're in the area, it'll hit the spot. read more

Solid spot with very good food and a welcoming vibe. Dishes came out hot and flavorful, and the portions felt generous without being over the top. Drinks were balanced and enjoyable, and the space itself was comfortable for a relaxed meal. Service was attentive and handled a small issue with one item quickly, which I appreciated. That said, a couple of details could be smoother, especially around communication and consistency on the plate. Nothing that ruined the experience, just some room to polish the edges. Overall, it's a dependable choice when you're nearby and definitely worth trying, even if it's not quite flawless yet. With a few tweaks, this could easily become a go-to regular. read more

Disappointing!!! For a breakfast Cafe inside the hotel I expected more food and better service! Came shortly after opening at 6AM and there was no line to get seated. Plenty of servers around yet they were too busy chatting with each other than attending 3 customers they had. Ordered the simplest thing in the menu: two eggs, two pork sausages and fingerling potatoes, with wheat toast. After reviving it, I felt it might not be much food. Also I only got one slice of toast. I made a comment to the server - only one slice of bread and I was told yes. Not offering more etc...for $22 come on guys. Eggs and sausage were good - potatoes not so much... Lastly - I finished my meal and wanted to pay there was nobody coming around as servers were busy socializing. This took a while. I contemplating leaving and finally told host to go and get my server. Otherwise cute interior... read more

Let me start with service first, It was great! Joseph was our server 5 stars, great personality, super friendly, and he was on it. He made sure we had all we needed before we could think to ask. Here's our order- Steak and eggs - A nice size rib eye and eggs with potatoes. All of it was great Eggs Benny - Not a traditional Benedict, but it was great! (I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR BENEDICTS) The asparagus was so fresh and not overdone. The hollandaise was great, the eggs were perfect... This restaurant is located right inside Sahara Casino. I definitely recommend Zeffers and we will definitely be back. read more

This is the primary breakfast spot in Sahara other than Starbucks. It is one of those only open at breakfast places. That was good I was staying several nights. I really only wanted bacon. I am not a huge breakfast person but if you are then you may like some of the unique things you can get. I think you can also get lunch at breakfast but I could be wrong about that. The burgers frankly looked delicious that others were getting. I wanted to keep it simple so I got two eggs over medium and 4 bacon crispy. The eggs over medium were too runny and the whites were undercooked but I just mixed them all together and didn't complain. The bacon was cooked to perfection for what I ordered and how I ordered them. The service was attentive truly... and I was seated immediately. The dining room was clean. Overall this was an ok spot. If you are staying here it is good ... Not to go out of your way for though. read more

Service: great! Friendly and gets food out quickly. I ordered to-go first time and dined in the second time. The to-go order was ready within 10 minutes and took about 20 minutes to bring out food when dining in. Cleanliness/environment: very clean. The decor is beautiful. I love the seats! Super comfortable. It's inside of Sahara hotel. The best part to rate... Food: I will admit. I was not impressed with the french toast for the price. It was edible and the fruit was good that was on it, but there are other places I would rather get french toast. I think part of the reason is that I got it to go maybe? So I recommend dining in to get it. Most of the reviews write this is one of their best items. I didn't get it the second time I went. The turkey bacon that I ordered on the side was flavorful but nothing special. The second time I went I ordered the chicken and waffle!!!! Now this is DELICIOUS. It comes with a a spicy syrup that's unique with a little spice. It's a sauce I've never tried to before on chicken and waffles. They do have regular hot syrup that comes with the chicken and waffle also. It's a reasonable portion for the price. Get this! Do I recommend Zeffer's? Yesssss read more

I stayed at the Sahara during my trip in Vegas and went to Zeffer's Cafe twice, and was very impressed, as I don't normally have hotel restaurants! The first time, my friends and I split the fruit plate and I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich which came with a brioche bun, ham, eggs, and fingerling potatoes. The second day, I ordered the avocado toast. I thought the portion sizes were big and definitely a spot you can order multiple dishes and split with friends! Everything was really good. All of the fruit was very fresh as well! The service at the restaurant was pretty quick given how many people were there. read more

There was one draw I had to those restaurant and that was the Shrimp and grits. If I go to a restaurant and that's on the menu, I don't have to consider anything else. These were great! Huge shrimp and a good size serving of creamy grits. So many places can't make a good grit, this was not one of those places. I also ordered a mimosa, it didn't look like a mimosa, it looked like ginger ale, I could taste the alcohol it just didn't look right. My server was so nice, she continuously checked on me even though all I ordered was shrimp and grits and a mimosa and I was a party of one. We talked a bit about staying hydrated while in Vegas. I left very full and happy. read more

We stayed at the Sahara while recently in Las Vegas and Zeffer's Cafe was an easy place to get a quality full service breakfast before starting our day. Both mornings we found the service to be good. My first morning I had the breakfast burrito and the second morning I had the french toast with an added side of bacon. Both were good but if I could only reorder one it would be the French toast. If you are staying at the Sahara give this restaurant a try for a nice full service breakfast at the hotel. read more

Reviews were great so I had to hit takeout here after my workout but before my flight :) Shrimp were massive and well cooked. Grits were very underseasoned and were missing salt and butter. Consistency was good. Large portion and food was ready on time up front. Probably wouldn't return as I'm pretty selective on what I order for takeout in Vegas haha. And the lines here can be very long in the morning. Like Starbucks, pumpkin spice latte in the winter long. read more

Went on a Tuesday morning. A couple people in line, but we were basically seated right away. It's a cute place. The server was nice and polite. The food was a little slow to come out, but otherwise the service was good. We got an iced tea and coffee. Both were a bit disappointing. I got the chicken and waffle. Presentation was cute. The waffle was the best part. Fluffy and crispy. The chicken was disappointing though. It was a little bland and also on the sweet side because of the breading. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito. It was a little soggy, but otherwise looked good. The meat ended up saving the burrito by providing some good flavor, but the salsa it came with was just bland. Overall, it was a bit disappointing and I wouldn't go back. The quality was good, but the flavors were lacking. read more

Located inside Sahara. We were looking for breakfast this Friday at 11:30am, thinking we may not find any that late. As we were coming down our room, we came across this beautiful café so we went right in. Luckily, there was no wait and were seated immediately. I tried their "Breakfast Sandwich" and my husband tried their "Chicken and Waffles", both very satisfying and exactly what we were craving. Their coffee is very good also. The restaurant is clean, with nice decor and comfortable seating. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Shout out to our server, Jaime who was extremely attentive and kept our coffee cups filled, making sure we were good our entire visit. Overall, we had a great experience here and will definitely return. read more

During my first visit to Zeffers at the Sahara, I enjoyed the avocado toast with poached eggs, which was fresh and well-balanced, paired perfectly with the country fried steak with sausage gravy--rich and satisfying. The ambiance was delightful, elegant, and clean, creating a warm setting, and the service was very attentive and welcoming. I also sipped on a well-crafted Bloody Mary and a delicious cappuccino. Now this place was so good to me i decided to go again as i skipped them one day and regretted it. However my return visit was equally impressive. I indulged in the signature chicken and waffles, with perfectly crispy chicken and delightfully fluffy waffles paired with warm maple syrup, and the zeffer's breakfast skillet, which was a hearty and flavorful mix of fresh veggies and eggs. To top it off, I treated myself to an expertly mixed espresso martini that complemented the meal beautifully and had to try the server recommended mule which to my surprise was completely clear ! phenomenal job guys. Overall, Zeffers offers superb breakfast options with consistently excellent service and a charming atmosphere. I'd rate it 4.3/5 stars. read more

This spot is hit or miss in terms of food and service, but it is 20% overpriced either way. Our first breakfast was decent. I had an omelette, which was generous and the waiter was great. Fast forward a few days and my partner bought a "Hot Chicken" sandwich for lunch. He took one bite and said it was overly spicy / hot. He asked me to try it. I love hot and spicy food - but something tasted off about this sandwich. He brought it back and they gave him attitude. They defended the recipe and the host said "everyone knows what National Sauce is." No they don't - because neither of us had encountered this particular brand before... Assumptions, are just about the worst thing you can do in terms of hospitality. My partner did not ask for a refund, but they did give him another salad. The bigger issue is that they did not acknowledge the fact that for some people this menu item, may be unclear. The menu says "national style" sauce. It's funny that they're not even using the actual sauce. This gives me a clue as to why the sandwich wound up being so hot. Food manufacturers spend a lot of time on one thing, recipe consistency. It's nearly impossible for restaurants to do the same.. read more

They are situated in the lobby of the Sahara. The cappuccino and latte were really good and the temperature was good. We ordered two eggs Benny and taste was quite good and portion. Service was good and friendly BUT they MUST hire more people to clear the tables. There was a long lineup outside because the hostess was unable to seat people inside because the tables were not cleared/setup. Thats a big issue since we don't want to be wasting our time to eat breakfast with so many options in Vegas. We gave up waiting the first two days to go the Starbucks next door but my better half really wanted to give it go so we waited and waited. It's a shame I gave them a 3 instead of a 4/5 star since service and food was good! I have no patience for the long wait when so many tables were "open". Management take note to correct this ! read more

Stopped in for breakfast, there was a little bit of a wait to be seated but not extremely long. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming, I loved the partial booth end we were seated at, there was lots of room to feel comfortable (I hate being seated at a 2-person table with nowhere to place my purse!) I ordered the burrito, it was delicious! I should have ordered it without the tortilla (I asked if they had corn tortillas but they only have flour.) I just scooped everything out, it was so tasty!! Would definitely order it again. My husband got the 2-egg breakfast and said it was so good, he didn't need to add any condiments to any of it. They even got his crispy-bacon request right on the money! It's a little pricey, but it's the strip, so that's to be expected. Paid $60 (including tip) for two breakfasts and 1 glass of OJ. Thought about deducting one star because my water was never refilled, but server was very nice, so I'll let it slide... this time. Lol read more
