| - We were visiting Vegas this week and asked a lady that lived in the area for a steakhouse along the lines of Outback but that was local - something the tourists don't get to see. She suggested Dessy B's. It was a great pick!
The decor was a bit outdated, but the story of how this steakhouse came to be is a good one, so you can't really blame them, and honestly, decor doesn't have a ton to do with decent food.
The story is that the steakhouse used to be a Sizzler, but Sizzler decided to close four restaurants in the area, leaving tons of people out of work. The district manager for these Sizzlers decided it was time for him to open his own restaurant. He got a loan, hired back most of the employees from the closed restaurant and named it Dessy B's. The employees themselves actually helped re-finish the interior to change it over from Sizzler and I think if I remember correctly they actually own part of the business.
Anyway, the food is pretty good. I wouldn't say five star, but definitely better than a Sizzler! My boyfriend and I split the chicken and steak dinner with broccoli on the side and it was plenty for two people. The food was simple, but tasty - like it was made in Mom's kitchen.
They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We wanted to go back for breakfast but our Canadian friends wanted to go to an IHOP (apparently they don't have those in Canada). I'm sure breakfast would've been equally good.
The prices weren't bad - we split a dinner remember, but the total bill for the chicken AND steak dinner and two drinks was $16 (without tip).
I think those visiting Vegas and looking for something a little less flashy than the strip will really enjoy this place, and if you're a local definitely check it out!
