Breakfast/Brunch
Breakfast is my favorite meal, but I'm extremely picky with breakfast foods--especially the restaurants. Most breakfast spots are the same to me, so I like places that have something special or unique about them. Otherwise, just go to IHOP already.
One of my favorite spots! It's away from The Strip. Not only is it BEAUTIFUL inside, they also play old Saturday morning cartoons, 90s-2000s music, and the middle booths have children's books. MUST TRY: Lemon Poppy Pancakes!! 🍋 🤤 I actually hate pa...
Early Birds | Your Go-To Breakfast Place in Las Vegas
Great if you want something more unique. This cute Filipina lady owns it, so there's a lot of ube-flavored items. MUST TRY: Spam fries (it's got a katsu-like deep fry to it, and that SAUCE?! 🔥. I also love the breakfast Mac. It's a Mac n cheese with...
Truffles N Bacon Cafe
Don't be deceived by it's simple exterior or the area... this place is bomb, and the service has always been top notch when we've gone! What makes them special is their bread boxes. MUST TRY! Personal favorite is the Spicy Box. I also love their hash...
EGGscellent breakfast and Lunch
Great Korean-fusion breakfast! FAVES: Shrimp & grits (favorite shrimp & grits I've found in Vegas so far), and the Korean Chicken Sandwich (don't get this if you can't handle a little kick or spice). They have gluten-free and vegan options to...
Union Biscuit
Great breakfast spot that has healthier options as well. FAVES: Smoked salmon tartine and their chimichurri steak plate.
Neighbors
Sometimes it's not about being fancy, but just making simple food REALLY well. Their steaks are made very well. And their ORANGE JUICE?! Freshly squeezed, and you can taste it.
Rise and Shine, A Steak & Egg Place
Lunch/Dinner
These are the Vegas spots I love for lunch or dinner. Been to all of them multiple times!
Favorite Vegas Restaurant. It's a hole-in-the wall spot in downtown Las Vegas (not far from Fremont Street). Never gotten anything here I didn't like, I've been here so many times since 2018. Food I reccommend: APPS: baked truffle Mac n cheese + baco...
Carson Kitchen | Las Vegas
Great if you like something a lil unique for an American fusion food. We bring everyone who visits here. It's close, open late, and food is bomb. My favorites: Katsu chicken sandwich, and Fuku moco. My family also loves the Tamago burger. Fries are w...
Fukuburger Buffalo
They're focaccia bread is what makes them special. They use it as their sandwich bread too. Filling, healthy, and yummy! MY FAVES: Chimichurri Steak Sandwich, A Really Good Fish Bowl, the Focaccia bread with hummus, and their Cucumber Chili Limeade (...
Urbane Cafe
MUST eat it on a lobster roll or you're doing it wrong!
Dirt Dog
hands down my favorite Italian restaurant in Vegas! Another hole-in-the-wall spot. When you walk in on them speaking loudly to each other in Italian… you know you're in the right place. Can't go wrong here. It's really tiny, so if you're coming with ...
Trattoria Rustica
You'll want to make a reservation here. We felt like we were in the wrong place but didn't realize there's a secret door you gotta be let through. We felt like we were part of an Italian Family Reunion! Food was great! Really enjoyed their lasagna an...
Capo's Restaurant and Speakeasy
I'm not a Vegan, but we tried this place, an it was actually really good! Never thought I'd say that about vegan food. I'd skip the mac n cheese, but the pizza and lasagna were FIRE!
Tarantino's Vegan
Good steak houses can get expensive, and I don't want to go inside a casino to eat it every time. Cue, West Texas Chophouse! Good prices for quality food! My favorite steak house in Vegas. Flavorful and juicy. The presentation and service is also top...
West Texas Chophouse Henderson
Coastal cafe open all day. They have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and healthy meals. The decor inside is *muah*. FAVE: Carne asada fries. You haven't had carne asada fries till you've had THESE. I can't explain it to you, you just have to try it and the...
Little Avalon 2
I haven't been to their storefront yet, but they always did pop ups in Vegas, and THE BEST BREAD CONE AND PASTA I'VE HAD! Can't wait to have more!
Endless Pastabilities
MUST get the giant mozzarella stick here! Not just a gimmick. They make it fresh, and it's yummy!
Twisted Sourdough Pizza
Dessert
I don't have a big sweet tooth, but when I love a dessert I keep going back. These are great for those that don't like super rich or overly sweet treats.
Dessert for the Non-Sweetooth. Hong Kong-inspired desserts. Mangoes are TOP NOTCH. FAVORITES: Mango pancakes, mango crepe cake, mango sticky rice, pandan cake.
MANGO MANGO
I don't even care for ice cream--BUT SALT & STRAW IS THE BEST! They're known for their unique flavor combinations. My favorite is the Pear and Blue Cheese. BUT they always have 5 SEASONAL FLAVORS OF THE MONTH, so it's fun to go back and try them!...
Salt & Straw
The ONLY good malasadas in Vegas!
Pipeline Malasadas I Authentic Hawaiian Malasadas in Las ...
Beverages (for non-alcoholic drinkers)
Living in Sin City, I don't drink alcohol. I also don't drink coffee or soda, so my drinks are very limited compared to most humans. 😅 These are my go-to's.
This place has my favorite boba! I'm a taro boba smoothie girl, and this place has a taro coconut smoothie I'm obsessed with. They have milk teas, bowls, and macarons if you like that stuff. Every drink is extremely customizable. They have an app too...
It's Boba Time
My favorite lemonade! If you buy their glass jar cups, you get 20% off every time you bring it in to fill up. My favorite is their Strawberry Mint lemonade. My husband likes their acai bowls.
