| - I did the unthinkable....I ordered a salad at a BBQ joint. Go ahead and judge me, I deserve it. Luckily my friend went with the Bratwurst, and that is part of the reason The Las Vegas Grille gets high marks from this guy. (thumbs pointed to myself)
The Bratwurst (made in house) had great flavor and that crisp snap you look for in the best sausages. I come from Chicago, and in the midwest, our blood is 4% sausage to start with, so I know what I'm talking about here.
The Salad here shouldn't even be on the menu, since all the other smoky delights clearly trump a plate of greens.
The salad itself was a plate stacked high with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and white onion. I added roasted chicken which was just so/so. The creamy vinaigrette was great though, but I'm sure you could find something a bit meatier to dip in it. My big beef about the salad, is that there is no way to dress and toss the salad at the table without making a huge mess. I don't know why restaurants keep commiting this herbivorous sin. I ended up just dipping various lettuce and chicken in the dressing. It was healthy but very disappointing.
Let's be realistic though, you don't go to a BBQ place and get a salad, you come here for a heaping mound of protein, a slight case of the meat sweats, and a feeling of accomplishment (yes you did just eat that whole plate).
