| - Generally speaking, the downtown lunch scene is limited and kind of all over the place.
Enter The Verdict's Inn. It's a great, solid place for lunch downtown.
My favorite thing is the salad; there's a create your own salad option, where for $7, I can have all the ingredients that my little heart desires. There's a charge for some extras, like avocado or extra protein. But I've never paid $7 flat for a salad that has like 10 toppings on it, and of my own choosing to boot -- stuff others would likely find repulsive. Hello cranberries, salami, mandarin oranges and olives! I love that.
They do chop up the salad and toppings so it seems different. But a salad by any other chop is still a salad and just as good. Also, the portions are big and satisfying.
I've also had the Old Man hot dog, which was delicious. All the hot dogs are named after the Pawn Stars stars, which I dig.
At times, they can take a long time, but in the grand scheme of things, it's okay (a) when you take into account the awesome salad option, and (b) consider comparable lunch options in downtown Vegas. Getting there early to beat the lunch rush also seems to help.
As a tip, there's a parking lot for customers directly across the street on Gass. Initially, parking seemed to be limited to the meters on Gass (or walking). That has been remedied!
Overall, The Verdict's Inn is good and I'll take it any day over Quizno's.
