We went to meet wedding clients for happy hour to discuss scheduling their wedding. Our server was quiet but polite at first. We ordered our drinks which he brought quickly and we were pleasantly delighted. He gave rushed us to take our food order and went off to put it in. We began small talk about the small town we moved to speaking about the lack of job availability, so I opened my own business. I don’t know if he overheard us or not, but shortly after he ran back over to us and stated,” I run fast but not fast enough to run after you so I need a credit card from your group before I can put in your orders. He was supposed to have put our orders in over 10 minutes ago by then. I thought it was odd he did not ask me how I wanted my burger cooked. I figured he would make it like most industry standard medium rare. Already completely humiliated by is comment for my credit card. He brought our food and our burger was charred black and dry. I mentioned it to him, and he said I forgot to ask you and I was in a hurry, so I just hit medium well. I explained I was not happy and he acted like it was a problem. We already waited almost an hour from the time he took our drink order and to wait even longer and complain with our clients there is not professional. I am very unhappy with the experience which your place came highly recommended. When he brought us the check he said he took the burger off but we came there with a buy one get one meal free coupon, so nothing was taken off in reality. I didn’t ask for a discount I wanted an apology for what he said. Humiliating a guest is irresponsible and the worst customer service one can receive. I questioned the manager in the bar, and she simply stated it’s our company policy to get payment before the order is put in. She did not even want to hear what I had to say or give me time to explain why I was humiliated. This is no way to treat your customers. I would suggest more training for both your server and bar manager. I’ve managed several restaurants in my life and there is a right way to ask for a credit card. This is completely unacceptable. Customer service needs much improvement. Luckily my clients had a good time. PS. If you order a burger make sure to say how you like it made, even if the server does not ask you. The ambience was great and a cute valentine decoration to the right as you walk in great for selfies with your friend or loved ones.

We meet friends here for a laye breakfast and really enjoyed it. Our server was very nice and helpful and the atmosphere is pretty cool, there is one HUGE t.v. and lots of other ones so watching sports here must be pretty cool. I had the blueberry French toast and it was very very good…I usually dont order French toast but this one sounded good and it was. The egg breakfast plates looked really good too. They also have a big bar and it looked like they had lots of selection on tap too!

The dismissive and unsympathetic attitude we received from the manager given to us locals who dropped 3 bills in this place was unacceptable. The rules for AYCE and AYCD were unclear on the menu and the servers were also unsure. When asked for clarification from management we were met with, “that’s not my problem,” “it doesn’t say it, but I’m telling you the rules now,” and “you expected to eat for three hours?”
A little professionalism and even fake empathy in this situation would have gone a long way instead of pointing the finger at the paying customer. Now, “it’s not my problem” when I take this place off my list for options for Monday Night Football and tell all my other local buddies to go to one of another dozen places where the manager doesn’t have to put the food down from stuffing his face to change one of the channels to the Knights game that is well into the 2nd period.
If you want a better local experience for football, check out the new Sunset Station Sportsbook, Atomic Golf, any of the PKWY Taverns, and Able Baker Brewing.
The food wasn’t awful but you have to eat and drink a lot to get your money’s worth in the allotted time.

Great place just off the strip. They have a nice little casino and an open air feeling food venue. We had the brisket nachos and although it was not warm it tasted great. Would have been better had it not been cold.

Very positive experience. Its cute, like its a restaurant in a yard. The menu is refreshing, the servers are authentically kind and the vibes are perfect. I didnt stay at the hotel this restaurant was at, but I’m glad I stopped by.

They serve RAW chicken. Came here on a layover with my crew around 1am since we worked a late flight. It was dark and lit by the giant screen and lights around. Didn’t notice that chicken was raw until bringing leftovers to hotel. Disgusting.

Great experience here especially as a sports bar! We aren’t into football or gambling, and although it’s catered to those fans, we still loved it because of the fun vibe, good service and great brews! The white pizza and pork bites come highly recommended by my husband and I. Free 3 hour Nevada locals parking across the street at horseshoe parking

Great place for watching football, good happy hour specials, and good breakfast! We went for HH one night and the brat was really disappointing (burned, too much bread, peppers, and mustard, and the pepper ls and onions were basically raw) but the pretzel and beer cheese were amazing, the pork sandwich was great, and the bacon Mac n cheese was good, though there was hardly any bacon in it. We went again for breakfast the next day and the steak and eggs were so good. Perfectly fried eggs, and tasty steak, though a touch overcooked. The brisket skillet was also great. We’ll definitely be back for both HH and breakfast.

Stopped by for an appetizer and a few beers. Great Vegas prices on beer at $6.50. We shared the pork belly bites as an appetizer and it wasn’t what we expected so that is the reason for the lower rating on food. We have eaten here before and enjoyed it but love pork belly and pork everything but the taste/texture didn’t hit the taste palette on this visit. Great place to watch games and enjoy some time with friends.

We made a reservation for 20 people, which the restaurant accepted. But when we arrived they weren’t prepared for us, so we combined a couple tables ourselves only to learn they can’t accommodate parties larger than 8 and made us separate. I’ve not had that happen before and we couldn’t understand why they accepted our reservation if they couldn’t actually accommodate large groups – they seemed frustrated with us and it was awkward. Otherwise, the food is just OK (though they had a beet salad on special that was really good) and the service was fine. If you want to watch sports, the TVs are huge and good quality and the sound system was really good.
