| - Came to Victory's Cafe on a whim since it was late and a lot of other places were closed for dining. 24 cafe baby! Not bad when you are super hungry and have not-so-super amounts of money in your pocket (damn you...slots).
Of course, this being a 24 hour joint, late at night you do attract some interesting people. This night, I swear half the patrons eating were buzzed, drunk, super drunk, or well on their way on getting super duper drunk. It was a bit loud and the air reeked of stale Heine(ken)! Interesting, but not typically my type of crowd. Luckily no belligerent drunks were trying to bully me, so I kept my left & right guns in their holsters. No gun show tonight! P90X you have become the bane of my existence.
Victory Cafe does have some late night specials as well as serving breakfast all day, which appealed to me. Omelettes, skillets, pancakes, waffles, French toast, could all be had. Because sometimes...you just want breakfast for dinner DARNIT! The wifey thinks breakfast for dinner is illegal, so I constantly ask for Portuguese Sausage, Spam, eggs & rice for our evening meal. Yeah, I'm like that.
The $9.99 Prime Rib special looked like a decent cut, but I wasn't feeling it that night. So we just ordered off the regular menu. I got a Build Your Own Burger, which I kept pretty basic with just Cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion with a side of fresh potato chips. The lady got a Philly Cheese Steak that had sliced beef with onions, peppers, and mushrooms topped with Swiss cheese with a side of potato salad. Sounds like late night eats to me!
Overall the food wasn't bad. Nothing great, but it's hard to mess up a burger and a sandwich. It's akin to what you would find in most late night eateries in just about any casino cafe here in Las Vegas. Food for those that need to sober up so they can take their losing @$$es home. Yes folks, majority of us gamblers here are LOSERS. Make no mistake, that 99.7% payback on video poker and slots eventually lands you to ZERO!
My burger was cooked right, medium with a bit of pink, and the bun was thankfully toasted on the grill. Cheese was nice and sharp, and the produce in my burger was fresh. The big surprise was the fresh made potato chips! They were great! Nice, hot, and super crisp. I ate these up with a side of Ranch dressing. But they were just as good with a splash of hot sauce on top. A welcome substitute for fries. The wifey's Philly Cheese Steak was OK. Nothing notable to write about, it just wasn't the best she's had. Her potato salad was good, but for some reason it tastes very similar to the kind you can find in bulk at your local Costco or Sam's Club. Which isn't all that bad, but something more home made would have been nice.
I will gladly go back to the Victory Cafe again if I'm on that side of town and want a quick and cheap bite to eat. And possibly if I'm as drunk as a skunk. There's a lot of heft in their menu and other things I would definitely give a try. I love a good Denver omelette or a Club sandwich. But I will definitely go back for some of those fresh made potato chips! Victory is mine!
