Hash House A Go Go  

Category: American (New)

4 star rating
 1/31/2010 4 photos  
After much hype from the Man Vs Food episode with Adam Richman, Hash House A Go Go  opened a 2nd location at the Imperial Palace on the STRIP.

HHAGG is known for their Enormous portions of farm fresh food with a twist and we have been to the Sahara location several times including the Man v Food shooting so we were hoping to see the SAME food,service and atmosphere as the original.

The entry/waiting area has a wall of photographs of celebrities who have visited. The dining room is typical with boothes along the walls and tables filling in between. A few TV's i n the center hanging from the the ceiling a small bar along one wall.

When we arrived there was NO line so we were seated immediately but don't surprised if you have to wait 30-45 minutes when it gets busy. This place is well staffed so they keep it moving.

We ordered drinks-coffee and soda then our meal-I got the fried pork tenderloin sandwich & fries and My son @milesdavisvegas got the Farmer's Daughter-French Toast w/bacon & eggs.

It took awhile for the food to come out -I had 3 cups of coffee waiting but the place really got busy after we arrived and Our waiter was NEW,actually his 1st day on the job.

The pork tenderloin was FANTAsTIC-thin & crispy-pickles onion and ketchup!!

The french toast was great-thick cinnamony with strawberries and banana,the bacon was crisp and the eggs cooked PERFECTLY over-easy lots of yolk no runny whites!!

I'm a little biased towards this place because its 1/2 places in Las Vegas that serve a tenderloin sandwich so I don't really explore the menu -just burgers,breakfast & the tenderloin BUT I see lots of people trying the chicken & waffles really killin them:)

I see the Reviews on YELP really rip this location but that wasn't my experience. The service was good, the food was good and it has the same feel as the original location minus the long wait.

My only knock on this place is the prices but that's just me-because-I mean the biggest thing about a midwest menu is that it's  simple & CHEAP!!!

Boardhouse Serious Sanwiches  

Category: Food

Boardhouse Serious Sandwiches-Timber's newest experiment with 4 location across the Las Vegas Valley.

First I even heard of this place was an ad I received in the mail. $2.00 off per sandwich, Buy 1 get 1 Free after 4pm and $10 off a $25 purchase on the Weekends. GREAT DEALS!!

The ad had their menu printed on the back and the sandwiches all sounded quite appetizing and a little different variation than you see in most sub shops in Las Vegas.

My 1st attempt at coming here I show up at 10:30 on a Sunday and they didn't open until 1 am so I went elsewhere.

This time it was 4 pm on a Friday and I was hungry so I ordered 3 sandwiches to go. A Beef Dip,A BBQ Beef and a Pastrami Nami.

The cashier was fantastic-very helpful,perky and informative. She said they were owned by Timbers Gaming and had been open since June 2009. Not on twitter yet but a TV commercial airing soon.

The sandwiches are a little pricy $7-8 each -one size fits all.(smaller than a footlong bigger than a size inch)-one type of bread.

The 1st sandwich was the beef dip. Thin roast beef , horseradish and onion. The beef was ok but not real impressive and this was the BEST of the 3 sandwiches.

The 2nd sandwich was the BBQ Beef-same beef as the french dip slathered in bad bbq sauce and some onions thrown in. Nothing memorable here.

The 3rd sandwich was the pastrami-It sure looked good-lots of pastrami-I only made it through half and had the WORST heartburn. It seemed like it had a TON of pepper. Too thin pastrami and it was a little dry and chewy not moist and tender like GOOD pastrami is.

Overall the employees were very enthusiastic, the place had a real cool surfer vibe to it and a simple menu but it's a little too expensive and not impressive at all.

It's nice to see a new place popping up in this economy but I do not have alot of hope for this place -especially this location.

MOST of the customers will be college kids looking to eat cheap and Port Of Subs is nearby.

Black Mountain Grill

This was my 1st trip to @BlkMtnGrill. It's A lodge-like bar & grill with seperate dining room the kitchen is open in the dining room so you can see your meal being made. Really Cool:)

After taking a minute to clean up and check the place out-which if you are a hunter you will love it. Very cozy with a fireplace front & center big comfy seats and lots of great decor;-)

Since we arrived just before 11- we could order breakfast or lunch and decided to do BOTH.

We started off with the cheese plate(cheese & fruit really)-then ordered a 3 item omelette with ham,bacon & cheddar-potaotes & english muffin-also a burger with grilled mushrooms and french fries.

(NOTE: Drinks-they serve PEPSI)

Service was OUTSTANDING-our drinks were filled quickly and the food was brought out in a timely manner.

When the food arrived we knew immediately we were in way over our heads-it was ALOT of food!!

The burger was good a little-bit over cooked, the fries were great.

The omelette was insane-the was a whole hog in there soooo much ham & bacon:) maybe a little too heavy on the cheese but that was an easy fix:) I like shredded potao hashbrowns myself but the kids loved the country potaotes!!

The cheese plate was fantastic with strawberrys,granny smith apples,grapes and raspberries and several different cheeses-my favorite was the smoky cheddar-yummy:)

Yeah I know I only tried the bar food but it was damn good.

They serve a much more sophisticated menu than the items I ordered so I'm gonna have to go back some Tuesday evening (2 for 1) and try their dinners. Maybe the Stuffed Alaskan Halibut of Petite Beef Wellington;)

Kabuki Japanese Restaurant

@KabukiCorporate Town Square is a MUST for Locals and Visitors alike

Kabuki is a very nice place with elegant decor and very inviting atmosphere.

When I arrived around 9pm it was quiet so the service was outstanding!! We ordered a wide array of items so we could try as much as possible off the NEW Reverse Happy Hour Menu(2nd item for ONLY $1)

I have never been a connesuir of Asian cuisine but everything was GREAT!! Not fishy as I had expected since that has been my limited experience with Sushi. Everything the brought out was like a piece of art-presented perfectly with sauces and garnishes!! The sushi rolls just melted in your mouth. I'm getting hungry again writing this.

I really kinda played it safe this time around but the way it went I will be back and trying some of the more exotic items on the menu!!! Thanks Kabuki!!

Hofbrauhaus

Meetup at #CES w/@Urbanspoon @HofbrauhausLV  http://twitpic.com/xfll3

This was my 1st time here but I've heard alot of good things about it  especially Oktoberfest!!

I haven't been here before because  I'm not real familiar with german/bavarian food..I mean I love their chocolate cake BUT I know nothing else they make

This place is mistakenly believed to be a German establishment but their website & twitter say its a Bavarian/German Hybrid.  What the difference is you'll have to Wikipedia that sh#*.

The meetup was scheduled to be from 11-12 and of course I showed up a little late so I wouldn't be the 1st one BUT not only was I the 1st one.

The restaurant has a gift shop when you enter then a large beer hall with wood tables and benches with arched painted ceilings a stage for the band and all the staff dressed in authentic garb. Ever a Beer Wench:)

The folks from @Urbanspoon were quite gracious and provided a spread of pretzels and sausages to eat. The pretzels has sweet or spicy mustard and a pimento-like spread to dip.

The assortment of brats and sausages was NOT on the menu so we got to try alot of different ones.

The food was good I liked the pretzel & the meat was good but nothing really jumped out at me. Definitely not a fan of Vienna sausage.

Looking at the menu they have more than sausages. Also pork,chicken a few steaks and of course Black Forest Chocolate Cake:)

Prices are under $20 an entree.

Burger King

1st to review? I guess thats really no surprise word gets around that this place is BAD!!

It's been quite awhile since I've been to Burger King mostly because they microwave everything right in front of you ans then tell you it was charbroiled. I was lured in by a co-worker willing to pay and wanting to try the NEW Funnel Cake sticks.

I stay away from the burgers since they are FROZEN patties semi-broiled then microwaved. Not my kind of burger. I do however enjoy an occassional chicken sandwich microwaved or not. I ordered it MY WAY-plain.

The chicken sandwich was ok but the funnel cake sticks were terrible-like a vanilla flavored straw made of straw. I couldnt eat them, neither could my son:(

A place I wont be back to for another long while and thats not even due to the terrible service we experienced taking more than 20 minutes for 3 chicken sandwiches + 2 funnel cake sticks.

Motor City Cafe

Located on the famous Las Vegas Restaurants Row this little dive bar is hidden in a strip mall offering live music,booze and bar food-appetizers,wings,fingers,subs and pizza.

Nothing much to look at, pretty small but a neighborhood bar for locals with decent food. The pizza could've been cooked a little longer-limp crust. The philly was cooked-ribeye steak with cheeze & onions,peppers and mushrooms.WHAT is with NOBODY using WHIZ!!!!

Not bad for a bar but nothing spectacular. Now that I know they deliver I might get some fingers and wings another time.

at Boulevard Mall-FANTASTIC!!!!

Fresh made funnel cakes with any kind of toppings you can imagaine plus many flavors of funnel cake.

They have a pumpkin spice cake for the holidays but I had to go for the CHOCOHOLIC one with chocolate syrup & chips.

So sweet & soooo good my teeth still hurt from the sugary goodness!!! :)

serves Bar Food at the Mall-Chicken Fingers & Wings,Burgers,Cheesesteaks and more

Servers are a little distant like being at work is NOT what their REALLY doing but it was fast & cheap $6 for Phillysteak,Fries & a drink.

Definitely one of the better places thats NOT asian food to eat in the mall.

Steak & Spud Factory-You'd think they'd served steak sandwiches and stuffed potatoes but NO.

They have a mix of bar food items and mexican. I tried the Taco Salad and What a MISTAKE. with La Salsa next door I should have known better.

It was Cheesesteak meat used and the thing was COVERED in sour cream. YUCK!
