Review from Norm K.
What to do after a strenuous hike with a friend at Red Rock Canyon? Go to Rachel's Kitchen and have some food to restore some strength. After a hike on Monday, 1/30, that's exactly what we did.
I ordered the Curry chicken wrap and my friend got their multigrain pancakes with both bananas and chocolate chips. The wrap is a chicken curry salad with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and mayo in a whole wheat tortilla. You have a choice of mixed green salad, French fries, sweet potato fried or onion rings as a side. I, of course, took the healthy route and got the French fries.
The wrap was very good. I also got some iced tea. It's a serve yourself counter on the side. They had regular and passion fruit. The passion fruit tea was very tasty.
My friends pancakes were quite good he reported. The pancakes came with a side of fresh fruit. After a graveyard shift at a local hospital and a tough hike, the pancakes were enough to carb up his diet to keep going.
As Candace noted, the seating is close. The tables are small and there are a fairly good number of them in that relatively small space. When it's warmer. I'll have to go for breakfast and eat on the patio!
I've been wanting to try Rachel's for awhile and I'm glad I did. Their new location puts them next to a Starbucks. Does life get any better than that?Comment from Debbie R. of Rachel's Kitchen 1/31/2012

I live near by so I am always at Rachel's Kitchen.......Luuuucky (my Napoleon Dynamite voice)
Here are some of my favorites:
Energizer- fresh squeezed goodness
Chicken Mushroom Burger- perfectly tender, best you will ever have my friend
Ultimate Grilled Cheese- HOLY $&^% . its name says it all
Smoked Turkey & Avocado Sandwich- Mmm.Mm.Mm. The chipotle mayo is what sets it off
I really appreciate that this place is far from your regular commercial restaurant chains with heavily processed food. Rachel's has fresh, high quality food at a reasonable price. They tend to stay busy but the service is excellent and the staff is friendly.Comment from Debbie R. of Rachel's Kitchen 12/27/2011

It's official. Rachel's is officially a 5-Star place for me. I've been here now on three occasions and although my reviews before this one were not 5-Stars, I gotta push them up to the 5-Star mark.
Today I had the turkey and avocado sandwich with a side salad and a cup of water. The people working here are genuinely nice and professional at the same time. You can tell they all enjoy working here and are happy to put a lot of work into really good food.
The side salad is perfect in my opinion. Greens are crispy, dressing is perfectly portioned and tangy, AND they serve their salads wish sliced radishes! Who does that?! I hardly ever see anyone put radishes on salads! The sandwich was yummy too.
Menu is awesome and offers something for everyone. I will say I think it is a bit on the pricey side, BUT you are in The District.
Honestly I just love Rachel's Kitchen and the next time I go I am trying one of the salads or the pastas!Listed in: Make Me a SAMMICH!

Rachel's is a reliable establishment for delicious, fresh food. I had breakfast here yesterday with a couple of friends after a bike ride through Red Rock and we weren't disappointed with our meal. The new, bigger location is great to accommodate all of the regulars who started to pack in after we arrived around 11:00am. Among the three of us, we had the Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich, the Breakfast Burrito, and a spinach, mushroom, and Swiss cheese omelet. The food was delectable as usual and I especially enjoyed the refreshing iced green tea that they offer (my bladder was working overtime to keep up with the multiple refills). I only wish Rachel's offered hash browns because I'm not a big fan of the seasoned potatoes, but beggars can't be choosers. Great service, good food--we'll keep coming back for more, just like all of the other Rachel's fans.

I wish there were more places like Rachel's Kitchen that serve gourmet soups/salads/sandwiches.
For value, I go to Sweet Tomatoe's, Jason's Deli, and Souper Salads. But if I want something more yummy, I definitely head to Rachel's.
I usually don't order the same things but I can't help but order their Arugula Pear salad which also comes with shaved fennel, goat cheese, caramelized pecans in this tasty vinaigrette.
I've also ordered the Curry Chicken Salad and Grilled Vegetable.

So I have lived down the street from this place for 2.5 years and never stopped in. Why? No clue!
I will definitely heading back here soon!
Rachel's Kitchen is a little restaurant located next to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and is constantly humming with business!
My friend and I stopped in there around 1:30pm on a Saturday and it was rainy. So it was JAMMED PACKED inside, since no one could sit outside. We placed our order at the counter, waited for a table to leave & be cleared and we sat down. They bring the food out to you!
We both ordered the Grilled Vegetable & Chicken Salad: romaine lettuce, eggplant, zucchini, roasted red bell peppers, yellow squash, tomatoes and cucumbers tossed with balsamic basil vinaigrette dressing.
Very good! The portions are large, so definitely ask for a to-go box.
I can't wait to go back to try the Chopped Salad, Chinese Chicken Salad and some of their smoothies! yum!Comment from Debbie R. of Rachel's Kitchen 8/12/2011

Review from Clint B.

I've heard good things about Rachel's Kitchen, but honestly I was underwhelmed. The BBQ chicken wrap was bland and a little dry. I almost always clean my plate but it wasn't worth it to finish the whole thing. The sweet potato fries were decent, though. The grilled vegetable and chicken salad was drowning in dressing, rendering it almost inedible. The pancakes -- advertised as being light and fluffy -- needed to be lighter and fluffier.
On a Saturday morning and afternoon it can be tough to get a table as much of Summerlin descends upon this place. We lucked out and got a table right after we ordered. Too bad the food wasn't worth it. I may go back to give them another shot because other items on the menu sound good. I just hope I won't be disappointed again. -

Was really pleased with my lunch experience at Rachel's this week! I've dined inside for breakfast but this was my first lunch at this new location. Enjoyed a terrific Cobb salad and iced tea on the outdoor patio. Salad was studded with plenty of chicken, avocado and other goodies. Not overly dressed with dressing. Just perfect. Love the iced tea and the outdoor patio is great. I'll be back for lunch.

I went there with my girlfriend as I wanted to try something new and she had liked this place from before. I have to say, I was a disappointed, in the price and the food. The place was also a little cramped.
I must admit the portion was huge and the greens were fresh. I had a goat cheese salad with grilled chicken on top. The chicken was ok and the dressing was a bit watery and under seasoned as well as well. I added some salt and it tasted better.
Did you know salad started from the romans who called it herba salta, meaning salted vegetables?
That's right, season your salads ;)
All in all I can see the place doing well, but I don't see me in any rush to try it again. -

Word on the street (or at least "word from everyone that I have dragged into this place with me at lunchtime") is that pretty much everything on the menu is awesome. Sadly, I cannot confirm the status of other menu items as I am utterly and hopelessly in love with the Chicken Caesar Wrap - tasty with fries OR onion rings, but be sure to pack some minty gum if you go with the latter side dish.
A little on the pricey side as far as lunches go (my usual order comes out to $10.76 with tax), but a girl can only eat Lean Cuisine so many days a week before turning into a frozen food entrée herself.Comment from Debbie R. of Rachel's Kitchen 5/28/2011

Today's lunch choice was Rachel's Kitchen and let me say... It was like eating a Julia Childs meal without all the butter and well without anything like Julia Childs would make.... It was awesome and healthy.
We have decided at work to order nothing but good foods for now on and the first choice was Rachels Kitchen. I Personally had the "440" This amazing mound of goodness has the following ingredients:
Grilled Chicken Breast
Goat Cheese
Avocado
Roasted Red Peppers
Roasted Tomatoes
Romain Lettuce.
On a crispy chibatta roll with a fresh salad with a balsamic vinaigrette
As you can see, No mayo or any sauces but between the goat cheese and avocado you do not need it.
For those of you that know me, I am not a huge sandwich person and this was one heck of a sandwich. I would invite ole Rachel into my place any day to come whip up one of these bad boys!!
Another plus was that the entire order was made to perfection No mistakes and not just sloppily through in boxes like some other places we order from. Knowing that this is the first time we have ventured into our new healthy options folder, I think Rachels will be a consistent part of our lunch schedule especially since the menu seems to offer tons of healthy alternatives to a Double Double heart stopper or a quick Cardiac quesadilla!!! -

An informal gathering of breakfast goers on the weekend and Rachel's Kitchen in Summerlin is suggested.
It's set up more like a fast food restaurant - you head up to the counter to put your order in and they give you a number and you take your seat.
I ordered the Breakfast Burrito "Scrambled eggs, salsa, avocado and swiss cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla, served with breakfast potatoes." ($7.25) and was surprised with how boring it tasted. Although it had other fixings in it, it just tasted like eggs and nothing else. I only ate half and brought the rest home (to jazz up for later). The potatoes were uninspiring as well.
The Husband ordered something from the breakfast menu too and was disappointed as well. We can't even remember what it was, sadly enough.
Maybe it was our mistake that we both ordered two of the most boring items on the menu and that's why we were left disappointed. Maybe you'll have better luck with their lunch items? -

Am a regular and so is my daughter. Have tried most of the menu & it all is fresh and tasty (as well as healthy). My favorite is signature salad with chicken. They have amazing staff and many repeat customers. Nice to have a neighborhood place to grab a quick bite where the staff remembers me and I see friends quite often.

Review from Analynn S.
Las Vegas, NV
Such a cozy little cafe. From patries, to smoothies, to gourmet burgers.
Came here with the bf around lunch. I had the Gorgonzola burger with fries, and he had the bbq bacon burger with the onion rings. The fries were nothing special at all. In fact, it wasn't really fresh. But the burger, I had medium well, was made right laced with a little pink hue. The shredded romaine lettuce was so fresh, it was crispier than a potato chip. unfortunately, I don't like shredded, for the reason it spills everywhere. I tried his bacon burger, it was pretty good- wholesome. Looks like they pick only the best quality in bacon. And yes, bacon has its grade-a's.
The customer service is ok, they pay more attention to their regulars and nothing really special for the noobs.
i'd come here again to try out the pasta.. -

Can you handle the following type of crowd: Summerlin housewives fresh out of a workout, lawyers with fancy leather jackets and Harleys, Glen Lerner, and magazine ready couples with their beautiful little children? If so, you can handle Rachel's.
It was very nice out so the crowd partook in the abundance of outdoor seating. Indoors, there were only about 8-10 tables so I am unsure how they manage on cold days since it was very busy on Saturday. It is a quick order type of place in which you walk up to the counter, order, take a number and wait for them to bring it out.
The food was WOW OH WOW! I got the chicken curry sandwich and sweet potato fries. I was given the option to substitute a fruit salad which I declined. Even though this does not sound very healthy it was as healthy as one can make a sandwich and fries. The fries were crispy but not greasy and the chicken curry was so smooth.
I stole a bite of hubby's breakfast burrito which was so good. It was not your typical greasy, fall out of the burrito type of breakfast burrito. The pico de gallo on it was so nommerific.
I glanced over as the waitress brought the next table over a chicken Caesar salad which looked AMAZE!
The prices were about 7-10 dollars a plate.

Review from Candace C.
Las Vegas, NV
The Skinny: wholesome cafe eats but so-so sweet breakfast offerings (3), service: it's counter service so don't expect much, wouldn't recommend for large groups because tables are small and can hold 4 people only(3), value: it is overpriced for what it is (2).
This is a local gourmet cafe spot filled with yoga topped Mamas with their young in tow. Tables are small and are best suited to 4 people maximum - however even with 4 people, your knees will be knocking each other.
We came here twice: once because we just missed brunch and had to order off their lunch menu, second time just for brekkie.
We had the curry chicken salad sandwich and their turkey club. For breakfast, we tried their french toast and pancakes.
The turkey club ($11) and a nice amount of filling and was standard fare. But really, how can you screw up a sammy that has bacon in it? (if you do, it's a travesty!) Loved the thin slices of bread but would have prefered real turkey breast (not deli slices). The salad was pretty ordinary with a generic supermarket balsamic vinaigrette on top.
The curry chicken ($10) sandwich was okay, not enough curry flavour. The sides of fries were a little on the soggy side and not satisfying.
We returned for breakfast. Ordered a plate of chocolate chip/banana pancakes and french toast. Both plates came with a side of fruit.
First of both portion sizes are very Jenny (aka Jenny Craig) for the price ($8 ish). If you're looking for a good tuck-in with sausage and eggs with a mile-high stack, this is not the place to get it.
The french toast was okay - the center was rather dry because the batter wasn't given sufficient time to permeate the bread. So it didn't have that luxurious eggy, fluffy center.
Pancakes were overly moist and not crisp from the fruit and chocolate embedded in there. Flavours were nice but it was hard to overlook the texture.
Overall, this place rates a low 3 star review and I don't feel the urge to return anytime soon.Listed in: Breakfast is the most…

I love Rachel's Kitchen! The atmosphere is very relaxed with an upscale feel. The service is fast and effiecient. I love the chicken caesar wrap, the 440 sandwhich and the onion rings are seriously amazing... Cooked to perfection everytime.
The breakfast here is also very good. I had "the favorite". It consists of three eggs scrambled with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, avacado, mushrooms and basil. The breakfast is served with breakfast potatoes and toast.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone as I always do. -

I love Rachel's Kitchen because it's easy to be healthy here! A great example of this is when my husband tried to replicate a Denver Omelet and he asked for ham. The guy behind the counter said they don't carry ham so he chose turkey instead. My husband said it was still good!
Roberto's Breakfast Burrito has been knocked out of first place in my book and replaced with Rachel's version! It had egg whites, avocado, salsa and Swiss cheese. It was light but not on taste the flavors came together to create a very crave worthy burrito! Yum!Listed in: What's Crackin?, Breakfast Burrito Breakdown…

God. I'm spoiled rotten. When I moved back to Vegas after living in DC and San Fran, all I heard was how great, fresh, awesome and wholesome this place was from my BFs. Being in San Fran, you get so used to fresh and healthy and organic everything, you get so jaded, and take stuff like that for granted. In Vegas, there is not a lot of really fresh, organic FAST fare, save a Whole Foods, etc, so I jumped at the chance to try this place. After my fresh pedicure at Alexus Nail Bar, (which is in the same center) I ventured over to met my friend for lunch. First, I was shocked to see how small it was. I guess that is either here nor there, but every damn table was taken inside and out. And with the snotty Summerlin types. Ugh. But I thought, ok...it's busy, that's a good sign I guess. I ordered the turkey and avocado sandwich and a tea. Almost 15 bucks. Grrr. Then it came. Pretty small and unimpressive. Didn't look like it was made with any love, that's for sure. And it tasted like a preprepared sandwich at say, a Fresh and Easy or a Whole Foods. But wait. I liked the preprepared sandwiches from Fresh and Easy and Whole Foods a lot better.
I guess I can say that I'm glad that places like Rachel's even exist in Vegas and are making the effort. For that, I applaud them. The last thing this town needs is another KFC or Taco Bell. We just don't have fast, fresh organic food as readily available here from "non- chains" like they have on the coasts. I always had access to places like that, but here, yes, we have some of the best restaurants in the world on the strip, etc, but after that, you mostly have chains or non healthy fast food places. "Healthy" is just still not a buzzword here. So I guess I am a spoiled snob who just HATES that about Vegas.
As far as Rachel's Kitchen goes, I don't care what anyone says. This place does not live up to my standards for what you are supposedly paying for. You're better off getting a made to order sandwich at Whole Foods.

Review from Trina T.
Las Vegas, NV
You ever walk in to an eatery and feel as if you entered someone's home? Rachel's does just that.
They have a small little place on Town Center Drive that is very clean, has friendly staff and great food. Their chairs are outdoor patio furniture covered with different hues of blue tiles. When you enter the staff great you with a smile, give you time to make your decision on what to eat, and help you out if you look stuck.
I have to say that I really like their Ultimate Grilled Cheese -- three types of gooey cheese melted with freshly sliced tomato, and some home fries on the side. Their home fries are dry, not greasy, and their grilled cheese is crispy but soft on the inside. Overall, a great little meal that's sure to please.
Their menu isn't a book like some restaurants, but they have enough variety to make you take a few minutes to order something. Their fresh juices are great, especially the watermelon, and they have fruit bowls and muffins for lighter fare.
Give Rachel's a try. It's worth stopping by when you're in the area.1 Previous Review: Show all »

This place is great, it is a counter service little cafe place but they cook up fresh good quality food. They have wraps, sandwiches, pastas, salads, smoothies, and breakfast. My favorite thing there is the 440 sandwich which is chicken, roasted tomatoes and bells, goat cheese, avocado, on ciabatta. Nothing is greasy and everything tastes fresh. They also have a nice little patio out front to dine al fresco if it's nice outside. It is kind of a scene being the type of place it is and being in the middle of summerlin but no big deal, there are usually a bunch of hot summerlin mom's to check out while you wait for your food.
Thew only down side is this place is a tad on the expensive side, everything from 9 - 11 bucks I think, if it was a deal I would give it a 5 possibly, there food does come with fries, salad, or rings so it is't too bad.
Overall a great place, the kind of place vegas needs more of.Listed in: Quick Cheap Lunch

Love this little gourmet cafe joint. Been coming here for years mainly for their pasta esp. The Angel Hair with Bolognese Sauce. It is divineeee!
Of course they're not limited to just pasta. I tried their burgers, grilled cheese sammich, breakfasts stuff, soops, salads, and recently just discovered their BBQ Chicken Wrap. I'm no big fan of BBQ sauce, but this one was perfect. Filled with grilled chicken lightly toss in BBQ sauce, lettuce, and their famous Onion Rings. Mmmmm~ MMM. Remind me of the Western Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr, without that feeling of guilt of all that calorie intake. Wash it all down with a cup of their Fresh Watermelon Juice and you have yourself a wonderful meal.
Only downfall is that price may be a little too moderate, but it is Summerlin. Now would be the best time to enjoy lunch here since the weather is perfect. Heck, even the air here feels like Summerlin!

4 stars for cleanliness and food quality.
3 stars for price for what you get.
I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and felt like I should do yoga for the rest of the week. This place is a cute, neighborhood eatery. It has a casual patio sitting area (the inside is small).
I like all the choices they have for breakfast and lunch.
Apparently, the pasta there is the best, so will have to try that next time.
My sandwich did come out a little burnt, no biggie, but would stock up on better bread for any and all sandwiches.
If you're in the area worth the try! -

My friend and I ramdomly picked this place for breakfast the other morning. There were so many choices that I stuck with something simple and got granola with yogurt and fruit while my friend opted for an egg white and spinach wrap. I was surprised by the portion of yogurt and granola definitely couldn't eat that much in one sitting, but it was awesome especially since they use nonfat greek yogurt and the granola had raisins, cranberries and currants yum!!! The wrap also looked pretty good and my friend definitely seemed to enjoy it though she suggested they could've have put a little less tomato since it was so hot that juice was running out every time she took a bite. I would definitely have to make a plan to go for lunch. Until next time yelpers stay eatin and stay full.

Las Vegas needs more places like Rachel's--little cafes with a pleasing selection of sandwiches, salads, pastas, smoothies and breakfast. I am always looking for this type of place, but it seems as if Jason's Deli is often the only answer. Jason's, however, doesn't make you feel cozy, and they use their soup as a pasta sauce (a little weird) so I am glad I found Rachel's.
It is a small space decked out in warm orange and green with about 10 mosaic-covered tables. There is also classic outdoor Las Vegas seating, and by "classic" I mean you get to sit next to the parking lot. They only offer counter service, so you place your order and get a number to sit on your table. Overall, I would say the atmosphere is pleasant and clean.
The service is also pleasant. The lady behind the counter was super helpful. Special orders do not upset them, as I overheard her working with every guest to substitute this for that or give a side of this. Likewise, she told me if anything in my pasta dish was not to my liking they could leave it out.
The menu offerings are all likable. No, I didn't eat them all. I just meant they sound like I could eat them all. Some highlights include a chopped salad with broccoli, red cabbage, olives and garbanzo beans, a garden burger, a beer battered fish wrap, curry chicken salad and mac & cheese. They also have banana chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast; I need to try those out.
I had the Signature Pasta: penne with sautéed chicken breast, eggplant, sundried tomatoes, and mushrooms with a tomato cream sauce. It was the most expensive thing on the menu at $11.50, and I must say I am a bit disappointed it did not come with a little salad. (Prices are bordering on a bit too much, but the wraps, burgers and sandwiches all come with salad, french fries or onion rings.) To drink, I had their passion fruit iced tea. Bonus points for having a creative iced tea, and I also noticed that their selection of hot teas is whole leaf. More bonus.
The pasta came out piping hot; several minutes into eating, I was still having to blow on bites to cool them down. Hot food makes me happy, so that was a good thing. The combination of flavors was pretty scrumptious, and I scarfed down the entire bowl.
I am definitely a fan for a quick lunch! It is fairly close to my hood, so that helps. I will definitely be exploring more menu items, i.e. pancakes, in the near future.Listed in: On The Run Eats, Pancake Pleasers

Homefries were tasty and not oily or over-seasoned. Really impressed me...
Wife had the Tuna sandwich and loved it...not a sea of mayo which she hates.
Staff was cool and freindly, but did not pester us.
The decor was a suprise...I expected a "diner" or "cafe"given the name.
but it was comfortable and the music playing was a great choice.
Most impressive was the beer and wine offerings...only a few selections, but certainly the only ones you need. -

I live in a city of franchises (no thanks to all the tax incentives). Then Rachel's Kitchen pops up within walking distance. If you get off the 215 on Town Center and blink, you'll miss it. It's right next to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
A show like "Check, Please! Bay Area" (San Fran Bay Area show on PBS where locals showcase their favorite local restaurants.) would NEVER work in Vegas, but if there was a "Check, Please! Las Vegas" I would be on it with Rachel's Kitchen (Firefly would be a very close second). The Arugula Pear Salad $8.75 has got to be my favorite salad on the planet! It's crisp, made refreshing by the sweetness of the pear, savory with the slices of fennel, and rounded out by the bursts of goat cheese & pecans (I used to HATE goat cheese until I ate this salad. Now I LOVE IT).
The BBQ Chicken Wrap $9.95 is sweet and tangy all wrapped in Kermit green spinach wrap. The fries are real (like In-N-Out), not like the ones from McD's that have been under your car seat for years without molding.
Most of all, I love sitting outside, eating on those small tables with the mosaic tiles, and enjoying California'ish cuisine in Nevada. The food makes me forget that I'm sitting by a parking lot with no views.Listed in: Nevada

Finally took an opportunity to check out lunch there. Will I be back? You bet.
Fresh food, friendly service with a smile, good, friendly neighborhood crowd.
Sandwish was delish and I thought the portion was a perfect lunch-sized meal. I was jealous looking at some of the other patron's salads - they seemed to be pretty popular.
PS - Holy crap - Rachel's is hottie central.... -

Went to Rachels for Mothers Day....although there is not much seating inside we managed to snag a spot! My boyfriend and I ordered the breakfast burrito, french toast and watermelon juice! The French was fantastic and came with a side of fruit :) The burrito was good but would have tasted way better with bacon!! Im craving another watermelon juice as I type this!!! Will def be going back!

Everything I have tried here is top notch, high quality. The Mac and Cheese is probably the best i've had, the BBQ chicken wrap stuffed with onion rings is like a healthy version of a western cheeseburger. Onion rings and fries are cooked perfectly every time.
I recently went vegetarian, and decided to give the vegetarian sandwich a try (Eggplant, Zuchinni, Squash, roasted peppers and tomatoes, goat cheese and chipotle mayo on ciabatta). I honestly wasn't expecting much, It easily became one of the best sandwiches I have ever had and made me believe being a vegetarian CAN be tasty!. The veggies were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Yes the prices are steep (10+ for an entree) but you taste the quality you paid for. Service is always friendly and inviting. Definitely worth it. -

A favorite Summerlin spot for breakfast, lunch, or (takeout) dinner.
Ready in 15 minutes: Favorites are the Signature Pasta or the Mac and Cheese (with mushrooms and onions). All the breakfast items are excellent.
Tip: If Pecan Bars are in stock, treat yourself. Totally worth it. -

I've only been here for breakfast but I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as good. Items are healthy and ingredients are fresh. A bit on the pricier side but you get what you paid for.
