~Good beer list & interesting cocktails
Visited Robert Irvine's Public House this weekend for dinner. We were staying at the MGM so it was an easy walk across the bridge from MGM to Tropicana. We were tired and hungry and hopeful that this place would be good. IT WAS!
Service was fine, not fantastic as our water glasses were not kept filled, but the server was pretty attentive otherwise and the food came out fast. They didn't bat an eye that I walked in with my own beer, but I did order a drink later so I guess I evened that out, but I appreciated it.
My husband ordered the Public House Burger. Its huge, served on Parker House rolls, includes shaved ham AND an egg, and my husband said it was literally the best hamburger he has ever eaten. I was a little jealous because I love burgers and it looked dang good. I went with the Pulled Pork Cavatappi and Cheese which is essentially mac and cheese with pulled pork on top. I was hesitant because everywhere I have eaten mac and cheese in the last year has been a disappointment, but this was DELICIOUS. The cheesy sauce was creamy AND flavorful with a cheddar taste to it and the pulled pork was perfectly cooked, tender with a tangy and zesty BBQ sauce. It was wonderful. I could have eaten more! Its not huge for a pasta dish that has nothing else with it. But now, as I write this, I wish I could eat it again.
It is not cheap, but standard Vegas 'TV chef' pricing. We will definitely be returning... hopefully I'll try something else, but I don't know if we'll be able to with the memory of what we ate!
