Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar

Last night we went to Lazy Dog Restaurant for the first time!  It's located at Town Square.  The restaurant was big and open!  They have a patio that you can even bring your dog and relax.  They have televisions all around the restaurant so that you won't miss out on the Las Vegas Knights hockey game.  Here are just a few things that we enjoyed from the menu!

Irish Mule

jameson whiskey, housemade ginger beer, lime

This drink was very refreshing.  It wasn't overpowering, and you could taste each of the flavors.

House Beer Sampler

six 4oz handcrafted tasters

Each of these beers had a unique taste.  They were all very refreshing and went well with the food that we ordered.  Keep in mind that I'm not a big beer drinker, but I would drink each of these again.

Sangria Sampler

white peach, raspberry rosé, or pomegranate red 

My friend that we went with, ordered this.  She enjoyed each of them and she didn't have to choose, she got them all. Something I need to try next time!

PB & J Burger

grilled 1/2 lb beef patty, candied bacon, havarti, peanut butter, grape jelly, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle 

I am not a big burger eater, but there are a few that I really like, and this is one of them!  There peanut butter and jelly complimented a great burger!  I will definitely be having this again!

Onion Ring Poutine

five hour braised pot roast, crispy onion rings, french fries, housemade gravy, havarti, sunny-side up egg, roasted vegetables

A-MA-ZING!!!  This is a must try! I didn't know what to expect, but it was really good!  Everything had great seasoning, but everything complimented each other! Gravy on anything is great!

Lazy Dogs, we will be seeing you again!!  We invite everyone to try it just once.  They have another location here in Vegas, but they also have locations in different states!  Look it up and see if they are near you!

Boulder Pit Stop

For years we have driven by Boulder Pit Stop on our way out of town or even just down the street to the Coffee Cup.  We have been saying for years we should stop and try it.  So Sunday we went out and tried it.  

Pit Stop Burger with Cheese

This burger was juicy and had a lot of flavor, the secret sauce and grilled onions added to the flavor of the burger which was cooked perfectly.  

French Fries

French Fries are extra, but what's a burger without french fries.  They were cooked perfectly, not greasy and seasoned perfectly.

Double Pit Stop Burger with Cheese

The burger was huge after putting on these toppings.  But still the burger was the star of every bite!

Kid's Meal Cheeseburger with Fries

Cristyana added grilled onions and the secret sauce to the burger!  Yes, she ate grilled onions!!!  The only thing left on her plate when she was done was maybe a quarter of the burger everything else was in her tummy and she was asking when we could come back again.

Chicken Tenders Dinner

Mikayla usually loves burgers, but today she was in the mood for chicken tenders.  This is the normal adult meal.  She did not finish all of it, but she said it was yummy and filling.

The one thing both kids enjoyed even more than the food was when they asked for a side of ranch dressing, they were given a huge bottle to keep at their table.  They were in heaven!

Boulder Pit Stop is a must stop in Boulder City.  It's a small restaurant so you might have to wait for a table during the busy hours, but it is well worth the wait!!!

The Habit Burger Grill, Las Vegas, NV

The Habit Burger Grill just opened at the corner of our street.  Saturday we ventured in to try this new place.  The restaurant was clean and smelled of grilled burgers and fries.  Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful.  

GRILLED CHEESE

Kid's meals are a must when taking the kids anywhere, more for Cristyana then Mikayla.  Cristyana said they could have given her more fries, but overall it was really good!  She even ate the burger gummy that comes as a treat.

CAESAR SALAD w/grilled albacore tuna

Chopped romaine tossed with our Caesar dressing, croutons and fresh Parmesan

This salad was really good, the salad was crispy and the caesar dressing was just right.  The tuna was amazing, if I hadn't ordered the tuna, I wouldn't have known it was fish. Overall the salad was great!  I will be having that again and again and again!

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR

Chopped romaine tossed with our Caesar dressing, croutons, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and topped with a grilled chicken breast

This is the same salad that I had except for it's with chicken instead of fish.  The chicken look most and seasoned right.  The salad portions are big and filling!

DOUBLE CHARBURGER

Mayonnaise, pickle, fresh tomato, lettuce and caramelized onions on a toasted bun

CHARBURGER

Mayonnaise, pickle, fresh tomato, lettuce and caramelized onions on a toasted bun

These burgers were juicy and seasoned properly.  On the double charburger we got lettuce, tomato and grilled onions.  All the flavors worked well together and left you wanting more.

Overall we will be making this a regular stop when we are out and about.  They have locations in California, Arizona, Utah, New Jersey, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Virginia, Washington and Las Vegas!  If you come across this place, its a must stop!!

Famous Dave's - Blue Diamond, Las Vegas, NV

Famous Dave's Blue Diamond is a convenient stop for us.  It's close to our home and shopping area.  Here are some of the dishes that we have had.

This is a LiL' Wilbur Meal.  This is the chicken tenders and fries.  The kids love tenders and fries and their special treat of an Oreo cookie.  With all the different BBQ sauces, they still stick with their favorite of ranch dressing dipping sauces.

Dave's Sassy Barbeque Salad - choice of Barbeque Pulled, Grilled, or Crispy Chicken, Texas Beef Brisket or Georgia Chopped Pork. Served on crisp greens with bacon, house-smoked cheddar cheese, tomatoes and shoestring potatoes. Tossed with honey BBQ dressing. Served with a Corn Bread Muffin.  There is enough of a salad here for lunch tomorrow!  I always get two meals out of this salad.

Texas Beef Brisket - Our classic Texas Beef Brisket is rubbed with a blend of Dave's secret spices, coarse black pepper and a hint of brown sugar, then slow-smoked over hickory until it's juicy and tender.  The brisket had good flavor and was very filling.

Over all we had a wonderful meal.  The atmosphere is comforting and the girls like reading the signs  around the restaurant.  The service was okay.  If I had to change one thing about this experience it would be the service.  The service can be really good and then just okay, it's never bad service, but the service needs to be a little more consistent.  Also everyone Monday kids eat for 99cents!!!

Yard House - Town Square, Las Vegas, NV

Yard House at Town Square

We went to Yard House for dinner the other night and sat out on the patio.  It was nice to sit in the open air and watch people walk by.  

Mikayla ordered chicken strips and fries.  The chicken was fried and cooked perfectly!  The breading was seasoned well and fried perfectly.  

I ordered the Ahi Crunchy Salad, seared rare, field greens, asian slaw, crispy wontons, and a soy vinaigrette!  Oh and did I mention it was only 600 calories and I had enough for lunch the next day! 

Chris judges a restaurant on how well they can cook a burger!  So he got a burger and fries. He ordered the Classic Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, red onion, garlic aioli, and american cheese.   The burger was cooked perfectly and juicy.  It was seasoned well and tasted yummy!

This was a great meal and we will be back sometime soon!  If you have not been to Yard House, you need to visit the closest to you.  They have a huge menu and many different options!

They have great Happy Hour specials that you should check out!

Broadway Burger Bar and Grill - Las Vegas

                                             

Broadway Burger Bar and Grill is located in New York New York Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip!  It is located in their food court area.  Their open floor plan makes you feel like you are eating on the patio.  The service was amazing, the hostess and the wait staff made everyone feel welcome.  

I had this ahi salad with a wasabi vinaigrette dressing.  The ahi was firm but soft and seasoned well.  The portion was just enough that you were full, but not stuffed.  

Chris had the English Pub Burger.  It was a hamburger with a friend egg with swiss cheese.  The burger was perfectly cooking and seasoned to perfection!  The french fries came in this cute little basket.

Mikayla had this Philly Cheesesteak Burger.  If you love BEEF, you will love this burger.  This burger had shaved rib eye steak on top of this burger with cheese.  It usually comes with peppers and onions (which of course Mikayla had them take off).  It also comes with that cute little basket of french fries.

Cristyana still orders off the kids menu.  On the kids menu they offered a Hamburger with or without cheese, macaroni and cheese, or chicken strips.  Cristyana ordered a cheese burger and fries.  Her burger was well done, and a little char on it, but surprisingly it was still moist.  Of course she only ate a bite here and there, but all the fries seemed to disappear.

We didn't order dessert because we were all really full, we even took home half of each burger.  The portions are worth the price of the burger!  They advertise happy hour Monday-Thursday starting at 3pm with $5 appetizers and beer.

Broadway Burger Bar and Grill has another location in Atlantic City!

Is this somewhere we would go again?  YES it is!
Is this somewhere we would recommend?  YES it is!
