Sometimes you come across somewhere special. Uncle Joe's is one of those places. It is not very big (only ten tables). The decor is not very impressive. But the combination of the people running the restaurant and the taste of the food makes it unforgettable. When you come in for the first time and get greeted by Joe, he makes you feel like family. Like you've been coming in regularity for a long time. Some times Joe's son is running the place and he is just as friendly. The kitchen is very small and you wonder how they can put out so much food in such a small space. There are seven tables for two persons and three tables for four persons. The walls have photos of the Rat Pack and others as well as a photo of Joe when he was a poker player.
Uncle Joe's is known as a pizza place, but he has much more. He serves pasta, chicken and the best burgers and fries in the entire Las Vegas Valley. His spaghetti and lasagna are very tasty and filling. His pizza has a good crunch to the crust and a sauce with a lot of flavor. Not the best I have ever had, but very, very good. But what Uncle Joe's should be known for is his burgers and fries. The burger has a lot of flavor and is very juicy. The condiments are fresh and the bun it is placed on is lite and fluffy. The fries are nice and crisp and taste just like a fry should taste like. I ran into Uncle Joe's the other day just to get a burger. The price is so low for such high quality. I ordered a double cheese burger and the price was only $4.05 with taxes (prices subject to change). You can't get a burger that big for that price anywhere in Las Vegas.
