| - Hubby and I were desiring bbq after watching numerous episodes of Man vs Food. Viewing a grown adult man consume pounds of smoky bbq'ed beef sounds distasteful at first....until the countless close-up shots of juicy pork and chicken and beef start to invade one's consciousness. Gah. We dropped into the Las Vegas Grille and were happily surprised by the cheeriness of the interior and the friendliness of the owner.
This place is super fun and serves up delectable food. The wings are smoked which results in less fat! Healthy(ish) wings! I ordered the brat and 3 Hawaiian meatballs and both were so flavourful and fresh. Since the sausages are made in-house, there are no bad-for-you chemicals in the food. Hubby's chicken was crispy and juicy and the various sides we ordered were tangy, provided ample textural contrast (rainbow coleslaw, braised red cabbage, Bavarian potato salad), and were not dripping in mayo/other sauces. The Thai curry sausage was yummy and spicy.
Phil, the owner, takes such pride in his craft which is a delight to behold (and consume). He also has a sense of humour; after ordering my brat and meatballs, he replied, with an evil grin: "so, you want a sausage and balls?" Hee hee. Ok, yes, that appealed to my inner 12 year old boy. ;)
Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get (lots) and the type (meat). Not a lot of veggie-friendly options, as the joint is a BBQ place, but there are a few sides and salads that fit that bill.
Go and support this fantastic local business!
