| - I will start this by saying 32 degree came highly recommended by 2 local Vegas favorites (my Dad and Stepmom), but alas it ended up falling below zero for me which disappointed my taste buds immensely.
Upon entry you can tell it has a very local vibe to it as the location is within the M hotel on the outskirts of the strip. Having previously experienced breakfast in the M I figured "hey how can it go wrong?" well..........I can't say I'll catch myself leaving that up to chance again or power ball jackpot here we come. ANYWAYS!
When we arrived it was about 7ish and it was quite empty for being a bar and all which generally is not a good sign, but the M doesn't exactly attract the party crowd either (unless I'm mistaken). However we did sit down right away although it was a bit of an exhausting wait before our waitress did come over to acknowledge us there. From the looks on the faces of my parents I could tell that was a bit out of the normal, but I won't knock that since we all have our off days?
Menu wise, I was blown away by the selection of what looked to be an endless supply of beer and beer accessories (sorry a very poor King of the Hill reference)..However, my wife actually picked a fruit beer and it took a bit to get used to the after taste (oddly enough re-reading the description of what it was vs. what it tasted like seemed to help), but I am far from a judge of ale as I am nowhere near a fan at all.
I was actually elated to the core that I was finally able to find a foot long hot dog once again in the Las Vegas area (keep it clean people). I remember back when I was underage these were every where and only costed $2 (sad that was only about 15 years ago too), but it was reasonably priced at around $5 from what I remember. I would've loved to see it home made for a local feel, but they do use Nathan's famous hot dogs and you certainly can't go wrong with that. The dog itself was crisp and did have the much desired snap when biting it so kudos to that for sure. Also another pleasant surprise was the bun that it came snuggled in. There were little poppy seeds in the bun and it was slightly toasted which gave it more of a BBQ home with the family sort of vibe while consuming the beefy goodness (once again stay out of the gutter). On a very short side note, I did pair this with the macaroni as a side item and the kid in me felt punished because instead of something like bacon or a meat like alternative there were way too many vegetables (peas, carrots) for me to go gaga over this one. Some things never grow old! Ha-ha
Would I come back here again? Yeah sure as I know it makes my Dad happy. Would I do it as a solo outing? That would remain to be seen, but I am not quite chomping at the bit though. I still give it a 4 star rating because the service wasn't quite the best, but the food was on point and when that happens it brings any meal to a boil or a light simmer at the very least!
