| - I meant to review this after a trip to Austin where I had gotten some Texas barbecue/ranch style cooking in my system, and well, it's kind of like cannibalism: "Once you get a taste", they say....
(Editor's Note: I have not taken to eating people.)
This place amazing exists in Vegas. I had never even heard of it until it just sort of magically appeared to me one day like a beacon of meat-laden hope.
Set in a residential neighborhood well off the beaten path, this restaurant is an actual ranch, with an authentic Western feel. When you drive up, the smells hit you, and the good feelings of Austin washed over me again, right down to the decor. You can even see them cooking up the various meats.
This place serves up a damn fine steak. It is hands down one of the better steaks I have enjoyed while in Vegas. The sides that I had (potatoes and lobster bisque) really fleshed out the meal, as did the excellent red wine that I chose to accompany my meal.
Service was wonderful. Pricing was reasonable. Over the past year I have become a big fan of "Old Vegas"-style restaurants, and this place falls well into that category.
If you hail from a place where big slabs of meat are king, then you have found your satellite "Promised Land" here. I will definitely go again once the opportunity arises, and I need a good steak served up in a true "home style" setting. Again, I had no clue that this place existed, but I am glad I does.
Another well-deserved "Hidden Gem" within Las Vegas.
