L & L Hawaiian Barbeque

I’ve been to L&L many times, both in Vegas and in LA. While it certainly isn’t my favorite Hawaiian spot, it’s conveniently close to where I live. We stopped in recently, since we hadn’t been there in awhile, and both of us ordered mini lunch plates. I had the Teri beef, which contained a large [...]

Naked City Pizza

From the guys that gave you the Naked City Sandwich Shop… here’s the Naked City Pizza Shop! Much like the sandwich shop, the focus is on fresh ingredients, and just about everything is made from scratch. The pizza and food is Buffalo NY style, and the menu is more extensive than the sandwich shop.. serving [...]

Carrabba’s Italian Grill

While I don’t normally review chain restaurants, we were recently invited to attend one of Carrabba’s “Amici Club” complimentary events. Remembering how much my mom loves this restaurant, and that I hadn’t been here in years, I thought “why not?”. I remembered them being better than other Italian chain restaurants. I’ve never particularly cared for [...]

KGB: Kerry’s Gourmet Burgers

It’s been awhile since we’ve gone out for burgers, and since KGB just opened, we figured we’d give them a try. I was a bit surprised to hear that Chef Kerry Simon decided to open a new restaurant in Harrah’s, but while the hotel is still a bit outdated, the restaurant is quite nice. It’s [...]

Slider Truck

We stopped at the slider truck at the last First Friday, just for a quick snack, and split two sliders. The Barbie had cheddar, fried onions, caramelized jalapeño,bacon, and was smothered in BBQ sauce. The Pep Pep had lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, bacon, cheddar, and plenty of creamy sauce. I enjoyed both, but think I [...]

Mac Shack

A new restaurant recently opened from the owners of one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Las Vegas, Nora’s. It’s a new concept for them. Think of it like the ‘Pei-Wei’ to PF Chang’s. In other words, Nora’s, only more casual. I saw a few familiar items on the menu, including the crazy alfredo, as [...]

Monta Ramen

I was pretty excited to hear that a new ramen-ya (ramen shop) had opened in Vegas, a few doors down from one of my favorite Japanese restaurants, Raku, no less! As far as I know, there have only been two true ramen-yas in Vegas. One is still open, but on the opposite side of town [...]

North End Pizza

A new pizzeria in the NW area of Vegas, North End is a family run restaurants specializing in East Coast style pizzas. And they’re really good! In fact, I think they’re the best pizzas on this side of town. The crust is thin, a bit crispy on the bottom, yet chewy inside. The sauce is [...]

Taste of Paradise

For some reason, I associate Hawaiian food with breakfast. Maybe it’s because whenever I’m in LA, I inevitably end up at one of my favorite Hawaiian haunts one morning. I’ve noticed in the past few years that more and more Hawaiian restaurants have been popping up in Vegas. I guess it makes sense, what with [...]

Studio B

I’ve never been a huge fan of buffets. Living here in Vegas, though, it’s pretty hard to avoid going to one every now and then… especially if you have relatives visiting often who LOVE them. So yes, I’ve been to quite a few. The most recent one I went to was out at the M [...]
