Finally, after three visits over the past couple of years....the verdict is in. Damn near 16 years in the Vegas before I paid Bob Taylor's Ranch House (BTRH) a visit. We visited and I withheld a review. Visited a second time, withheld...yet another review. The mystique of something that perhaps might have been special..once upon a time, kept me from pulling the trigger. Maybe the next time it will be different....maybe the next time it will be different...
My brother and his family were looking for a place to dine on a Saturday evening. I threw out a couple of options. BTRH being one of them because it is in many ways just so damn different from what one is used to living in Vegas. Different being in it's location and exterior and interior style but all this a great steak house does not make.....sadly.
Back to my brother, I threw out several options....he replied back, "Ranch." He also made the reservations, that I highly recommend if this is but your first time visiting BTRH.
Based on several experiences...the steaks are so so. I found it them to be overcooked consistently more medium than the medium rare previously ordered. The simple garlic cheese bread is good to go, salads are good to go, the ranch house potatoes are good to go. The service...mixed.
Now that the mystique is almost certainly gone. I don't hate.....but I don't love either. We shall see what the future holds.
