| - I was in Vegas for a few days for some R&R with my wife. We stayed at the Strip but wanted to get away to eat everyday. I read the reviews on Yelp and decided to give them a try. Spot on! It is exactly what the reviews say: a cute hole-in-the-wall place on a strip mall just a mile or so away from the strip.
I wasn't sure what to order, I like to look at other people's plates when I arrive at a restaurant and kept asking the server to tell me what they were. I'm a huge fan of biscuits and gravy so that's my go-to breakfast when in doubt. The French Toast on the table next to us looked delicious and I was leaning that direction. Then, I saw it, the Country Fried Steak... holy schmoly, mother of all cholesterol... I couldn't take my eyes off it, it was staring at me from the table next door... and if I kept really quiet I could hear it calling my name. So I canceled the French Toast and went with the Country Fried Steak. The wait seemed like an eternity but my wife assures me it was less than 10 minutes; and then, it arrived.
A huge breaded, fried piece of meat, laying next to a plateful of hash browns, three eggs on top of the potatoes, and gravy all over the steak. I didn't know whether to smile or cry, I was so happy. So after taking a picture I began the careful operation of breaking the egg yolks so they could infiltrate the hash browns. This must be done carefully so that there is enough egg yolk to go around. Trust me, with three eggs, there was plenty of egg yolk to turn the carefully-cooked hash browns into a golden, delicious pile of oh-my-gosh! Each bite was celestial and I found myself quietly moaning inside my mouth as I enjoyed this wonderful breakfast.
I ordered a biscuit and gravy on the side, just because it's not breakfast without biscuits and gravy. The biscuit is not really a biscuit but a roll under disguise. My recommendation, skip it. My wife had the big breakfast with eggs, meats, biscuit and pancakes; she could only finish about half of it. She loved it also.
The servers were very friendly, the owner is a hoot. He has a really groovy, deep, radio voice that fits his former wrestler frame just right. The place can fill up fast, when we arrived there was no wait (10:30 am) but it quickly filled up and we saw people waiting for a good 15-20 minutes for a table so be prepared for either scenario.
