Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
We have the fine dining thread, but everyone needs some good casual places to eat, either on the strip or local. I'm finding that my list of go-to casual places is lacking.
Synopsis of other threads Breakfast Peppermill (24 hours and worth going to for cocktails too) Du Pars in Golden Gate Cracked Egg The Egg & I Egg Works Hash House a Go Go Original Pancake House Deli/Sandwiches Capriotti's (cheese steaks, but no cheese whiz) Jimmy John's (quick sub chain) Burgers Fuddruckers Fatburger I Love Burgers BLT Burger Burger Bar Holstein's Stripburger Bachi Burger SmashBurger Bar Food Steiner's Pizza Aurelio's (Chicago Thin Crust) Rosatti's (Chicago Deep Dish) No Name Pizza Place (Cosmo) (NY) Napoli Metro Pizza Settebello Amore's Broadway Pizza Mexican Macayo's Bonito Sushi Both Sushi Mons (W. Sahara and also S. Maryland pkwy) Sushi Kaya (Spring Mountain) Oyshi Sushi (S. Rainbow) Island Sushi (S. Eastern) I Love Sushi Naked Fish Sen of Japan Other Asian (WELCOME TO CHINATOWN) LOTUS OF SIAM Thai Noodle House Archie's Raku Monta Musashi Pho Thanh Huong Ichiza Honey Pig Mother's Kim-Chi Emperor's Garden China Mama Dong Ting Spring Other Hot'n Juicy Crawfish Paymon's Grape Street Zaba's (Like Chipotle, more and healthier options) Fat Greek |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Cafe Rio, Pho Kim Long, Pho Little Saigon, Sen of Japan, Stripburger, Bachi Burger, Smashburger, TommyRockers, Blondie's...
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Wow I don't like that list.
Lotus is far and away #1 in Vegas. Fat Greek is probably number 2. You do have Setebello which is in contention for top 5ish. Vegas has an amazing china town, and you gave it pretty much no love. For Chinese food: Emperor's Garden, China Mama, Dong Ting Spring, that Dim-Sum place on Decatur Korean BBQ: Mother's, Honey Pig, Kim-Chi Japanese: Ichiza Original Pancake house is one of the best places on your list. Why does it have a (meh) next to it?!?! |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Mint Indian Bistro
Sen of Japan (if you put naked fish up there you have to put up Sen) Bonito (mexican) Thai Noodle House (two locations now, the best place in town BAR NONE for WSOP dinner breaks) Monta (ramen) Raku (japanese) Musashi (MOTHER OF GOD) |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Wait, I'm a mod! I will edit the post!
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Good call w/ Monta and Bonito. Can't believe I forgot Monta.
Raku and Musashi are both awesome (especially Raku), but they don't count as casual dining. |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
I count them as casual because of price and atmosphere. Musashi after midnight is dirt cheap and Raku is def casual.
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Wooo I like this thread. How about more suggestions on the strip? I feel like most of the tourists looking for casual dining mostly just stay on the strip. I am going to vegas with some friends and we aren't renting a car. I will keep checking this thread for reviews/recommendations!

Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
nice job guys, places I can go and feel like a balla.
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
KGB Burgers should be on the Burger list.
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Great list so far!! How about........
Deli sandwiches: Earl of Sandwich Burgers: In-N-Out, LBS (Red Rock), Island's, crEATe Asian: Pho Kim Long, Pin Kaow Bar food: Gordon Bierch(sp?), Yardhouse, BJ's, Three Angry Wives Other: Firefly, Via Brazil Pizza: Sammy's woodfired, CPK |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Lol, some of these are a little too casual. I mean I sdon't think we have to talk about fatburger.
Edit: Unless yous trollin. |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Bouchon Brunch fits the dress code and price range of casual dining, but not the other definitions. Deserves a spot on the list because it's hard to beat the value of that brunch IMO.
Oh Payard at Caesars def belongs on the list as well. That place is great, cheap, and quick. |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
The Palm at Caesars is good too. Business lunch special is a hell of a lot of food and it's pretty good.
As for places like Fatburger, some places they don't have everywhere and is really really good. Jimmy John's is my favorite place for deli subs and not everyone has ever had it before. Bouchon is casual for breakfast and brunch and is absolutely phenomenal. |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Earl of Sandwich in PH has really good sandwiches
When I read the original post, I was like, where TF is In-N-Out burger? |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Rachel's Kitchen is a super tiny cafe on like.. 215 / Town Center, has some cheap (price) healthy sandwiches, salads, etc.
Whole Foods might qualify just because I think its one of the healthiest places to eat in Vegas. Fukuburger (fookoo) is a burger truck that is parked around the SW part of Vegas like 6 days a week. If you go to their website you can find out where. Open til super late and during the summer nights, pretty decent spot to stop by. |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Any value to sketching out some criteria for "casual"? Notwitshstanding great bar deals/specials/happy hour, etc., any list that has The Palm is probably overinclusive, especially in the minds of non-locals when they think of "casual." I don't have a great suggestion for objective criteria, but maybe (1) average dinner food-only check (not reasonably possible but average) < $25? IMO wardrobe is tough because Vegas wardrobe standards may not be typical of other places.

Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
ZJ,
Wasn't "my" list, but rather a cliffs of some similar threads that I combed (the pizza thread, the locals thread, etc) I do think Original Pancake House sucks though. I thought Lotus of Siam and Raku both not really casual restaurants at all but obv nothing wrong with adding them. I mean, both are discussed at length in the fine dining thread. I don't think there's anything wrong with adding In n Out since so many Vegas visitors come from places without In n Out. |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Rachel's Kitchen is a great addition. Good call.
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
BLT Burger or Burger Bar yo?
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
Good list. I’d add the following:
Hue Thai (cheap Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches + boba tea) Pho Saigon 8 (waaaaay better than Pho Kim Long) Firefly Sushi Yama (doesn’t get much twoplustwo love, but I prefer over Oyshi and even Sushi Mon for ayce sushi) Johnny McGuire’s Sandwiches |

Naw son. Burger bar is better. Not better enough to cab from mirage to mb, but better.
The real point of this post, where the barbeque at? |
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
All signs point to TC's Rib Crib. I'm not a huge fan of soul food but have at it.
|
Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
imo it's very hard to find quality bbq in Vegas. tried TC's once and wasn't super impressed. they attempted to open a Salt Lick at the Red Rock a while back (Salt Lick in Texas is the best bbq you'll ever have) but that completely bombed.
