1. The Burger Bar Knows How To Stack ‘Em
The Burger Bar
3950 S Las Vegas Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(877) 632-7800
Yelp 4 stars, 2056 reviews
The Burger Bar might sound like it falls somewhere between a drive through and one of those assembly line stations, but once you give it a try it will quickly climb its way to the top of your burger pyramid. Using various beefs, buffalo, and lamb and a great assortment of toppings, there’s never a chance of getting bored here. Order “The Farm” to get a bacon burger or “The Garden” to have it topped with cucumbers.
2. Get Raw At Kabuto
Kabuto
5040 Spring Mountain Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 676-1044
Yelp4.5 stars, 315 reviews
Kabuto is far from a best-kept secret of
Las Vegas. The cat has been long-since out of the bag on this one and that’s because when something is as fantastic as the food you’ll find here, good news travels fast. With only 10 seats at the bar and three tables, reservations are strongly recommended. But your wait will be well worth it. Try the Kabuto tasting course menu and make sure to eat it with your hands to get the genuinely raw experience.
3. When You Have A Fever, The Only Prescription Is Rx Boiler Room
Rx Boiler Room
3930 Las Vegas Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89119
(702) 632-9900
Yelp 4 stars, 236 reviews
The Rx is actually pronounced “Rick’s” after the owner, Rick Moonen. But that doesn’t make this awesome
steampunk-inspired restaurant any less better for you. The unique and eclectic ambiance only adds to the amazing menu filled with hand-crafted selections, immaculately plated with expertly paired ingredients, which could double as a genius science experiment if it weren’t all so delicious.
4. Eat Your Brunch
Eat.
707 Carson Ave
Las Vegas, NV 89101
(702) 534-1515
Yelp 4 stars, 1047 reviews
Like the Cher of Las Vegas dining, Eat rocks the one-word title with bonus points for being as straight-forward as possible. The hipster vibe and awesome brunches make it feel more like a restaurant you’d find in
Portland than in Downtown Vegas. But that just makes it even better. The truffle egg sandwich, cinnamon buns, and shrimp and grits will have you craving brunch for days and the po’boys will remind you that there’s something great here at all hours of the day.
5. Discover A Real Burrito Heaven At Braddah’s Island Style
Braddah’s Island Style
2330 S Rainbow Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89146

Yelp 4.5 stars, 427 reviews
Don’t believe those who would have you believe that the best burritos and rice bowls can be found at a chain. The truth is, Braddah’s Island Style blows them all away and will have you either grateful that you live in Vegas or happy that you made the trip to the west side to try it. Hawaiian flare abounds and brings the islands to life in Sin City, with other locations like University and Centennial, but the original is still king.
6. Baguette Cafe Brings A French Touch To Spring Valley

Yelp 4.5 stars, 259 reviews
Spoiler alert: There are no badwiches at The Goodwich. In fact, no matter what you order, there is a fairly high probability that you will be ranking it in the top five sandwiches of your life.

8. Music, Dinner, And Mayhem Are Waiting At The Velveteen Rabbit
The Velveteen Rabbit
1218 S Main St
Las Vegas, NV 89104
(702) 685-9645
Yelp 4.5 stars, 172 reviews
This downtown cocktail lounge and music venue is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall and will also become one of your favorite Vegas spots. Usually, most places force you to choose between great food or great music, but the Velveteen Rabbit wraps it up in one, slightly-
hipster, overtly-awesome place. Oh, and they also make a killer cocktail.

5693 S Jones Blvd

Yelp 5 stars, 360 reviews
Reasonably priced breakfast or lunch in Las Vegas doesn’t have to mean subpar food. The highlight of Mr. Mamas’ breakfasts include their steak and eggs, crispy home fries, and extra-fluffy pancakes. For lunch, make sure to indulge in one of the best chicken fried steaks you’ll ever lay your fork on.
10. Let The Golden Steer Bring A Little Surf To Your Turf
Golden Steer Steakhouse
308 W Sahara Ave
Las Vegas, NV 89102
(702) 384-4470
Yelp 4 stars, 352 reviews
The Golden Steer won’t miss an opportunity to tell you that they have the self-proclaimed best steaks on earth. And they shouldn’t. It’s a strip icon, serving delicious food since 1958 that has been raved about by some of the biggest names in pop culture including the likes of Muhammad Ali. The steaks here are only rivaled by the lobster which is why if you’re able to stretch the wallet a little bit, the surf and turf is a must.
11. Go For The Greek Fine Dining At Estiatorio Milo

Yelp 4 stars, 623 reviews
Fine dining doesn’t always have to include escargot. At Estiatorio Milo at the Cosmopolitan, you’ll find amazing Greek food, the likes of which you’ve probably never tried before. The Mediterranean spin on the menu is a welcome treat, with feta-stuffed olives, grilled octopus, meze plates, lavraki, and more. Wash it down with a Greek yogurt martini to get the full luxury of a meal at Estiatorio Milo.

You don’t have to be a huge foodie to have heard the word about Wolfgang Puck’s Spago on The Strip. And if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat. Whether it’s a casual meal or a night out on the town, Spago’s is always the place to go with food so good, you’ll never have to question what all the hype is about.

4235 S Fort Apache Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89147
(702) 207-4992
Yelp 4.5 stars, 407 reviews
Pizza places that claim to have the best slice are a dime a dozen. But if you ever hear anyone at Biaggio’s claiming it, they’re telling the truth. Strip-goers will have to venture out into Spring Valley to enjoy the pies here, but it’s well worth the trip. With perfectly crisped crusts and every variation of toppings you can dream up, and great service, Biaggio’s puts the competition to shame.
