Review Highlights
This was probably my 5th time eating at AAB&G... I enjoy their steaks and still, they do have some good cuts of beef! However, I was disappointed that their late night menu was so limited! I got there around 1am and ended up having a bowl of the Potato Cheddar Soup because there wasnt much I found on the late night menu and holy hell, I was disappointed. Its probably one of the worst Potato based soups Ive had. It was kind of bland and had that grainy potato texture. I love creamy or smooth soups with potato chunks, not these weird gritty soups - It was just...ugh.
They are still busy - Id say due to their yummy meats and late hours... But their servers were pretty friendly, a little slow; but friendly nonetheless.
I will still go back... But I am going to stick to the various grilled animal flesh they carry. PS: They were out of Dos Equis. GRR!!!
So yes - 1 less star than my last review for their sucky late night menu, nasty soup and not having a full stock of beer on a weeknight.

Craving steak, but didnt want to go to VooDoo Lounge since it seems more 'clubby' than… Read more »
Oh yum!! Another great place to eat at the Rio. After calling it a night on Halloween, I was really hungry and since I decided I obviously wasnt going to continue to make use of my slutty cop costume showing my chubby tummy, I came here so I can let the gut run free.
I love that this place is open until 6am because I was unsure if it would be open when I got back to the hotel. And it's not fun if you have to go to sleep hungry :( The burgers are so big and juicy! I love it. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, mustard, mayo, and ketchup all come on the side so you dont ever have to worry about them messing up your order. I also like the fact that you have three types of fries that come with your burger. Cris Cut [[love em]], Curly [[absolutely]], and regular but crunchy [[delish]]!
Good prices also, definitely try to stop by if you can. They have alot of tvs if you're worried you may miss a game :)
Sadly, the economy forced many of the restaurants at the Rio to be closed, so we were forced into the All-American Bar & Grille for lunch. The hostess was downright rude. She must not realize how fortunate she is to be in the only lunch restaurant left open. Our server wasn't much better. He threw our food down and never came back.
I was lucky I don't eat meat because one of the girl's I ate with was sick for a day and a half after eating the BBQ Chicken Wrap here. Another friend of mine ate there after us and had the BBQ Chicken Wings, which left her with food poisoning as well.
I had a side Caesar Salad and a bowl of their Potato Cheddar Ale soup. Both were great! The soup had chunks of potato and green chili's for a nice kick. The salad was fresh and delicious. I also stole a few fries and they were yummy. They serve their fries all mixed up with waffle cut, curly and regular all thrown in together.
Since I know people who were sick from the BBQ Chicken I wouldn't return here. But remember that other than Gaylord's Indian, there are no other restaurants open for lunch during the week at the Rio Hotel/Casino.
WOOO!!! I love this place! HAHA! My friends and I were here for 4-5 hours, and our server Keith was good to us. We got trashed but it was hella fun.
My dear friend Abby and I split two entrees, the Avocado BLT and the Mushroom Swiss Burger with a big side of Curly Fries/Regular Fries/CrisCrut Fries. It was freakin delicious. I love mushrooms so this burger was already a winner. Plus, the burger patty was so moist and juicy and cooked to perfection. Burgers and sandwiches price from 9.99 and UP! My burger meal is only 9.99!!! excluding drinks of course......
AMF's were bomb diggity for a price of $8.25... or $8.50.. ...shoot I forgot, but it's SOOOO MUCH CHEAPER and BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER BAR ($14-$17 bucks a drink at a regular bar)! and a LOT stronger too!
BEST MUSHROOM SWISS BURGER EVER!!!!! I think I've been to this place 3 times just this past weekend HAHA!
I just think this place is okay. First of all don't tell me it is a 15 minute wait and make us wait 45 minutes. I should of just walked away after 30. The food is just like any other burger place.
Our friend hand a hankering for their burger. Once he was finished he wasn't impressed this time around. I had the chicken sandwich with fries, again just like any other sandwich. Friends ordered the baby back ribs and they weren't impressed. My husband did enjoy the wings. I waited 15 minutes a a refill so service sucked.
So unless you are drunk and don't care what you are eating then you will like it here.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS CAN BE FOUND HERE!!!
What got me to order them? On the menu there was a quick note:
MUST TRY FOR WING LOVERS.
Buffalo Wild Wings, you have been trumped by All-American Bar & Grille. If I would have known that the wings were going to be this good, I would have resisted ordering the Bacon and Fried Egg burger and got myself 30 wings! There was so much meat on the wings, each bite and the meat slide off the bones with ease! When does that ever happen??!! I normally love to dip my wings in ranch, but it would be a insult to do so with these wings! Everything was perfect.
The Bacon and Fried Egg burger was decent. The buns were a bit too dry and flaky. The meat itself was perfectly cooked at medium. It was juicy. The bacon and fried egg was crunchy. The fries came with with regular and curly.
Service was nice and friendly.
Surprisingly not horrible.
The first resto with no wait to greet you when you exit the Convention Center and enter the Casino.
Check out the sea bass and the NY strip. Prices are reasonable & plenty of TVs to watch the NBA playoffs.
On the short list for the WSOP players, $10 off your bill.
The last couple of times I've gone to Las Vegas I've made it a point to head here and get the Buffalo Wings. This was one of my favorite spots to go for wings PERIOD and I always looked forward to gorging on the delicious hunks of spicy chicken flesh. Sadly, the wings I loved so much are now completely different. They're more like Panda Express Orange Chicken than Buffalo Wings. So if you're into the whole "non-traditional" wing recipe, go for it. I'm not a fan.
This time around I had a few bucks with me and decided to try to "Rio Dry Aged" rib-eye. AWESOME. One of the best steaks I've ever had. Somewhat pricey, but 35 bucks for a dry aged 20oz. steak isn't really THAT bad. All in all, decent spot.
I visited All-American Bar & Grille over the weekend. My friend had a $75 food voucher, and she suggested we spend it here. She asked that I pay the tip, which seemed too good of a deal to pass up.
The Grille is located right on the casino floor, so the dining area is a little noisy. There are plenty of flat screen TVs hanging above the bar, so you won't miss the game you are betting on. The decor is industrial and simple: brushed stainless steel with light colored wooden accents. If it weren't for the unmistakable "ding-ding-ding" of the slot machines, one would feel as though they were dining at an airport bar.
The waiter who took our order was not the waiter who brought our food. Yet another waiter inquired if we needed anything else, and the fourth waiter actually brought it to us. They also thought, for some reason, that one set of utensils should be sufficient for both of us. Ehhhh, guess again.
Look, I am all for teamwork and delegation, but someone has to be responsible. There's a reason why every CPR instructor teaches you to POINT at someone and say "YOU! Call 911!" If you just said "someone, call 911" no one would do it, because no one would know who is responsible. Waiting tables is not a matter of life and death, of course, but the same rules apply.
By the way, the waiters' uniform is a polo shirt with wide horizontal stripes. The shirts were similar to the ones the host of Blue's Clues used to wear on every show. What is up with that? Not exactly the most slimming outfit, is it?
As for the food, we both ordered steaks. They have various cuts, each available in USDA Choice Beef or Dry-Aged Angus Beef. The latter, naturally, is more expensive (about $10 more per cut). I went with the 18-oz Angus NY Strip for $34.95. Keep in mind that the price included mashed potatoes and a mix of boiled carrots and peas. My steak was cooked medium rare, but it was fiber-y and slightly dry. Also, the steak was on the bone, so 18 oz wasn't as big as one might think. The sides were just average. After waiter #2 dropped off my steak, it took me a while to flag waiter #3 to get waiter #4 to bring me some horseradish. My friend had a fillet, rare, which she seemed to have enjoyed thoroughly. I also ordered a side salad, with creamy Italian dressing. The salad was very fresh, the dressing - delicious, and the serving - big enough to share.
Our bill for two steaks with all the fixin's, a salad and 2 iced teas came to $72.50. We gave the waiter our $75 voucher, and I added $12 in cash for a generous 20% tip. So, for $12 out of pocket, it was a tremendous value. If I'd had to pay $87, I would have probably been a little more disappointed.
This was a poor excuse for a steakhouse. While the sandwiches and other fair is ok, their steaks are not. They try to entice you by displaying the steaks in their dry age case. Don't get sucked into thinking they taste good. My friend and I recently went there for a bachelor party and we had about 6 different steaks. None were good. They may have been cooked to order, but it took them 30 minutes to serve the steaks after ordering them. I had the 1/2 pound hamburger. It was awful. I've had better burgers at Carl's Jr.
Bottom line-don't come here for the beef
There were ten hungry girls in my party and we were ready to eat. Unfortunately, the service is my biggest complaint about this place. I'm not sure if it's because the waitress wasn't used to working our section (our table was the only one she had in this section), they were understaffed, or she just disappeared a lot.
Not once, but twice, someone from our party had to go look for our waitress. It took awhile for the food to come out, but then again, we noticed other tables hadn't gotten their food yet either and they arrived before us.
One of the girls mentioned that we still hadn't received any bread yet, and that almost caused an uproar. (Did I mention there were ten hungry girls at my table?) When the bread arrived, round rolls that reminded me of a soft pretzels and big fluffy rolls with whipped butter, were vacuumed up!
Our foot arrived soon after, and maybe it's because we all stuffed ourselves silly with the bread, but pretty much no one finished their meal!
I ordered the "Spit Roasted Free-Range Chicken (1/2 Chicken) for $19.99. All entrees include vegetables, a choice of house rice pilaf, baked potato or mashed Yukon potatoes." You can add a stuffed potato for $2.50 more. I chose the Baked Potato and it was a huge spud! Of course, my chicken was way too much for me to eat, but I devoured as much of it as I could. There were parts of it that were dry, but that's a bit expected with roasted chicken, right?
Other girls ordered the Broiled NY Steak Caesar Salad or the AAB&G Grilled New York Steak Salad for $11.99 and their portions were huge. The steak doesn't come in strips, it's a piece of steak sitting on your salad leaves! The French Onion Soup Gratinee for $5.99 was also generous too. And the Buttermilk Battered Chicken Fingers ($8.99) remain untouched, only because the girl had stuffed herself already! We saw the French Onion & Cheddar Cheese Loaf ($6.99) go by and it was huge! Definitely something you want to share!
One thing we did appreciate was the waitress was able to change a last minute order of Oysters Rockefeller ($11.99) to Blue Point Oysters (12 each at $15.99) without a hitch.
When I went to pay my bill, I wanted to pay separately so I could put it on the credit card. Unfortunately, the waitress made me wait until the rest of my party got their cash together before she took my card. (Other restaurants have no problem running my card first, with the added gratuity, while the rest of the check is still being calculated!) So that was a pain to have to wait even longer.
Overall, it's not a place that I would normally choose to eat at in a hotel on or near the strip. But it fit the budget we had and satisfied the meat desires of our group.
I was at a convention at the Rio, looking for lunch. This was available. There is nothing in the name of this restaurant that should compel anyone to seek it out, and that's as it should be.
I had the AAB&G Steak Salad. I was trying to eat somewhat healthy for one meal out of this trip. I received a nicely cooked fillet atop a salad abundant with avocado, beans, lettuce, mushrooms, and a few other flavourful garnishes. Too often one finds steak salads without imagination: steak, then lettuce, and something else. Not here.
The place was pretty busy. I had good service, but a few other patrons waited a good bit of time for their Chicken Caesar Salads (I wasn't the only one with healthy aspirations!)
The All-American Bar and Grill is a good place in the Rio to have lunch, providing you're in the Rio already and don't want to stuff yourself in one of their buffet lines. If you are in another casino, you'll very likely find another place with comparable food.
second time here! the first time would have been a 2star because all my girls and I got sogggy bread with our burgers...
however this time for lunch the boys, hannah, and i had a FABULOUS meal! we got clam chowda which i didnt try but looked really thick and yummy, we had the jalapeno cheddar burger that comes out with toasted bread, HUGE pickle, and mixed fries (curly, crisscut, andregular) all yummy. we also had the order of 20wings...
the WINGS are SO freakin good. i was worried they were going to be too soggy ( i hate extra wet wings) when on the menu it said buffalo style wings...SHIT it was AMAZING!! perfectly crunchy with the PERFECT amount of sweet yet buffalowy sauce on each drumstick/wing o m G its a MUST HAVE when you come here!!
the service was fabulous and the prices were totally do-able at 10$ a burger!! try it when stayin @ the rio!!
We had tickets to go see Penn & Teller at the Rio. Since the Rio is slightly off the strip, we decided to head over there, grab a bite to eat, and then go see the show.
We looked at the lounge menu and saw burgers/sandwiches in the $10-12 range and decided to go for it. Maybe a tad over the odds pricewise, but a downright steal by Vegas standards.
There were beers listed on the menu, but no wines. I asked the waiter for a wine list. He told me could tell me the wines available by the glass. He rattled off five choices, including two Cabernets. I was not familiar with either of them, but he told me they were "both from California." (I head him telling another customer that about her Chardonnay and have no idea why that was supposed to matter. But, I digress...). I picked one of the Cabernets at random. The waiter told me it was the "better" of the two. I had no idea what the price was going be, but figured it was probably, at worst, going to be somewhere in the $9 range. (The beers on the menu were slightly above the odds costwise, but not outrageous.)
Imagine my shock when our bill came and I saw we had been charged $16 for a glass of wine!!! It was a nice enough pour, but I never would have ordered it had I known it was that expensive. Ok, my mistake for not asking. But, really, that had to have been significantly more expensive than the other wines on the menu and the waiter really should have warned us.
Yes, our tab ended up being higher than expected, but that does not mean we left a better tip. We left feeling ripped off and the whole thing put a damper on our evening. So, what did anybody gain?
I used to love this place because they had the tastiest Rib Eye Steak and it was a good price. The last 3 times though, it's been pretty bad, and the price has gone up to $25. The last straw was our last visit. We ordered 4 Rib Eyes, and 2 Colorado Lambs ($35). 3 out of 4 steaks were not cooked to our orders (all were very overcooked), and both lambs were overcooked. So, 1/6 is not good. Plus, the steaks were very grisly and chewy and they were hard to cut with our steak knives. We sent two back, and 10 minutes later, they were brought back RAW! Total Sashimi Style! It looked like they just seared the outside, but the inside was purple! That is not medium-rare in my book!
The server was friendly and tried his best, but we ended up paying for everything even though most of the steaks were inedible. I've heard that their burgers are pretty good, but beware, their grill master is no "master"! 2 stars for their other food items (Spinach Salad, French Onion Soup, Yum!).
Munching on crazy spicy buffalo wings and soggy french fries at 2am after a long night of drinking foot long margaritas out of cheesy cups with tambourines attached is NEVER a good idea. It's particularly a bad idea to indulge yourself in this kind of behavior at the All American Bar and Grille. It will give you heartburn.
Once I realized that Sonic was right there, I stopped coming in here (cause I could drink my weight in strawberry limeaids across the street) but when we first arrived, and we were waiting for my friend to check in for the trade show we were there for.. I managed to put down an order of hot wings in about 3 mins flat.
They were good - the 30+ min wait when they weren't even busy was not, and is most of the reason, I wasn't headed back in there (well that and all the great exercise I got heading to sonic burger)
The avocado BLT and fries were both fantastic and totally hit the spot for me considering it was almost 11pm on a Tuesday and it was my first meal since lunch and flying into Vegas at 7:30pm that day.
The hostess was slow and probably needs a new job that she actually likes =o) and the wait staff was running around like crazy, but our waiter was good.
But, we probably wouldn't go here again unless we were to drunk/lazy to go anywhere else.
Stayed at the Rio for a conference on 3/10 - 3/12.
Ate lunch here twice on 3/9 (sat at a table) and 3/10 (sat at the bar.)
Per their website: "We feature a contemporary atmosphere with fireplaces surrounded by two waterfalls in the dining room. We also feature a sports bar with over 10 plasma TVs where we serve appetizers, fresh squeezed juices for an afternoon margarita and our famous Angus beef hamburgers."
Beautiful bar with Flat Screen TVs and Video Slot/Poker machines embedded in parts of the bar (beware it makes it awkward to eat if you have it right in front of you!)
I had the same thing both times because it was so darn good... The Avocado BLT on Sourdough bread. Great bacon, great avocado (I could have used more!) great toasted bread, very good fries (mix of waffle cut, curly, regular) Combined with a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, an excellent combination. My boss had a burger on the Monday, he said it was very good.
Service was good (though they were packed a lunch time both days). Guy next to me had a strip steak on a salad that looked really good.
Probably about $15-$20 per head a lunch time with 1 beer.
The bar has $1 slot machines embedded into the tabletop, I thought that was funny and deeply ironic. Afterall, you can walk out to a nickel slot machine about 15 feet away and play it and get free drinks. Sit at the bar, buy a drink and feed dollar bills into the machine, or spend nickels and get free drinks. Your choice!
I ate a cobb salad with grilled chicken and thousand island dressing on the side. Meanwhile, the chicken caesar salad looked pretty nice, and I liked the large flat piece baked parmesan that came with the salad. My companion said it tasted good too.
This restaurant was definitely better than some other places I ate at in the Rio, and this one gets props for being conveniently located to the tower my room was in, and for being open 24 hours.
Most of the basic dishes, like burgers, salads and sandwiches were in the $10-12 range.
But, it was nothing culinarily amazing. Service was adequete. Diners at the nearby table were friendly too. But maybe that was because I was eating with cute friends.
Very casual bar and grill centrally located inside the Rio Hotel. Conveniently open 24 hours a day. They have plenty of plasmas to watch games and they serve a wide array of beers. Bar is fully stocked and I nice place to take a quick break or sober up.
It's one of those places where you order steak and eggs for $9.99 or an Onion and Mushroom burger for $10.99 at 5 AM in the morning. The food is quite tasty considering it was prepare in the late hours of the day. The portions are very huge in size as well. The fries included in the burger was a mix of crisscut, battered, and regular = weird.
As for the service, it is decent. Service is quite slow but the servers are very pleasant and courteous. Who can blame them for being a little slow, it's 5 AM in the morning for gosh sake. Plus I was overly anxious to eat so I was impatient after drinking one of my livers aways that night.
Not bad at 3:30am after drinking and clubbing your @$$ off. Get the cajun chicken quesadilla. Take it up to your room and eat if you don't wanna deal with bad service at 3:30 in the morning.
Love this place. If you're not in the mood to dress up and go someplace fancy, but you still want high end food like filet minion, lobster and crab legs, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is nice, but casual. The food is great. Your meal starts off with great soft dinner rolls and PRETZEL ROLLS(! )which are a delicious change of pace. I had the petit filet with crab legs. The filet was cooked well as I asked, and they butterflied it so that it would cook more evenly. The crab legs were meaty and pre split so you didn't have to crack them. A huge baked potato and mixed veggies accompanied the meal. My husband had the prime rib with shrimp scampi as his "surf". The shrimp were huge and the sauce was great. The portions are very generous and there is no way that you can have room for dessert, so I can't judge those, but the meal was awesome and the service was very attentive.
After a long morning on a long flight of only snacks being served, I stumbled around the Rio trying to find my company's store and or food...which ever came first! I found this place and sat at the bar. Didn't expect too much but felt I had to eat so I ordered the Mushroom & Swiss burger. It was better than I expected, good, and the fries came in a variety of normal french fries, and curly. I LOVE curly fries so I made sure I ate most of those yet I tried the normal fries as well. Both are good! ;) It's not a bad little place to go when you need to eat while staying at the Rio or seeing a show without wanting to head to the strip.
This place gets big points from me mostly for the fast service (once we were seated) and the fact that they gave me three different kinds of french fries below my chicken strips!
We wandered over to this place for a fairly inexpensive burger after a great evening seeing Penn & Teller at the theatre in the Rio. So it's almost midnight in Vegas (which is what, like the equivalent of 3:30 in the afternoon in the real world) and there's a 20 minute wait for a table for two. At first I was a bit irritated because my feet were still killing me from all the sightseeing we did that day, but we plopped ourselves at some nearby slots while we waited.
The food was great, and the prices were great too! My companion was very satisfied with her burger, and my chicken strips were moist and tender and fantastic. And, as I mentioned before, the basket of fries beneath the chicken was a mix of regular fries, curly fries, and criss-cut fries. Heaven!
They had a pretty decent menu, good prices (especially for Vegas) and plenty of distraction in the form of like 20+ plasmas showing everything from sports to news to something random. The only drawbacks for me was their lack of my favorite soda alternative, raspberry iced tea, and since it's RIGHT there by the casino floor it was rather loud.
This place serves a hell-of-an-appetizer. The potato skins were A+.
Being "locals," it was overall, a decent place to eat. The atmosphere is modern and clean. The food was good but not great; we got breakfasts. Then again, how can you f-up breakfast. I believe my 2 egg breakfast was somewhere around $10 after tax.
Came here with some people I met at a conference. They wanted to see a basketball game and this place had lots of plasma TVs. They serve traditional American food with steaks and seafood. I ordered a NY steak caesar salad that was $11.99. What a great deal, big plate of salad with a huge NY steak. Cooked just like I said too -- medium rare. Very ethnically diverse wait staff, so speak slowly when ordering.
3 stars only because the servers are friendly. The food is 2 stars. I had the burger and it was meaty, but a bit dry. It almost tasted like the burgers were made in advance and flash grilled to heat them up. The fries were wierd. It's like 3 different kind of fries mixed together and they were all fried at different times. Some are crispy and some are soft. I ordered the apple pie desert that comes out on a very hot platter. The pie was okay. The crust was wierd. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way or not. It tasted like the flour wasn't wet completely before it was baked. You take a bite of the crust and you think you got a mouth full of flour powder. The ice cream was a very low quality. It has ice flakes in it. Sorta like Ice Milk icecream bars. The highlight was the apple filling. Apples were not overly cooked to mush. They has some texture that made them good. I just ate the apples and left the crust and ice flakes to melt on the platter.
