Lumberjacks North Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!
Lumberjacks is a small chain of casual restaurants from California with one location in North Las Vegas Nevada. They serve an American menu that includes breakfast all day. They also offer a soft beverage menu, a child’s, and a senior menu. The menu does run a bit beef heavy but does have enough choices to please most people.
It’s casual and kind of rustic when you walk in.
The desserts are also on display in a glass case off the side of the front desk.
Unfortunately we were seated in what might be the overflow room. It emptied and we had the room to ourselves. I couldn’t get a photo of where you might typically sit that was crowded with people and also was a much larger room.
My husband started with a cup of soup of the day (included with his meal) – chicken tortilla. He said that it really was well made and delicious, also a bit spicy.
I tried the Apple Fuji Chicken Salad.
It was surprisingly very good! The most stand out thing was on how fresh the soft green were. They were so fresh that they were crisp. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The citrus dressing seemed light but also had a nice flavor to it. There were also embellishments of raw onion, walnuts, cranberries, and crisp sweet apple chips.
My husband enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak.
It was reasonably good.
We took a chance and decided to try the Blackberry Cobbler.
It’s very different.
Nt what either of us were expecting.
It’s more like a muffin with TONS of blackberry filling.
It’s also not very sweet.
It’s not awful but I wouldn’t recommend or order again.
I do note that the soup, salad, and chicken fried steak were all at least reasonably good.
Lumberjacks of North Las Vegas is Worth a Try!

STK Steakhouse – Cosmopolitan Las Vegas – The Sunday-Thursday 3:30-5:30 Menu is a bargain
STK Steakhouse is a Modern Style Steakhouse, Lounge, and Bar with a location in the Cosmopolitan Casino/Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s very modern looking inside with curvy walls and curvy tables and booths. It is also kinda dark inside and music that might be too loud and maybe too modern for some people fills the air.
I often see a three course special offered that differs slightly in name and some of the offerings but whatever it is is always looks like a good deal. (Sunday-Thursday 3:30-5:30). Tonight the three course special is called the Steaknight Special and is three courses for $69. I was surprised that the hostess sat is and did give us the steak night special menu. We had to ask for it.
We started with tuna tartare and a shrimp cocktail.
A Roll and Chive oil came out with the dinners.
We got –
8 ounce Skirt Steak
6 ounce Filet Mignon and a generous amount of lemon zest and almond asparagus and macaroni and cheese (good but really needed a little pepper)
We took home the chocolate cake but ate the Banana Pudding with Ice Cream there.
The dogs didn’t mind eating some of the steak we brought home.
The Sunday-Thursday STK Steakhouse Menu is usually a Bargain. At it is if they offer what I got here.

Aroma – Las Vegas NV – Not perfect but most dishes are FORKING AMAZING!
Aroma is a contemporary artsy type of South American style restaurant located in Chinatown in Las Vegas Nevada. It’s not a fancy place but the dishes are ultra creative and fancy. They offer lots of smaller plates and larger plates that can be shared. I do warn you that this is a small restaurant and the tables inside are a bit too small for the large plates. They also (as of this posting so that might change) don’t have a bar so they are only offering beer and wine (at this time).
We started out with the Peruvian Ceviche.
It’s made with yellowtail fish. It’s nice and light and fresh tasting.
BUT one of the MUST GET dishes are the Tamarindo (Japanese Bay Peaches, tamarind balls, apple, jicama, other goodies)
Really great!
Another MUST GET is the Mangonada (NIXTAMEL tomatoes, chili lime, peanuts, greens, grapes, and other goodies)
For out main we had the Churrasquito (Brazilian Fat Cap Steak)
All very good flavors here. The steak was good but today not perfection. I’ve had it a few times before at the original location. Today it is slightly chewy but still good. Usually it’s perfection. There are plenty of tasty embellishments to keep you busy..
Dessert was pretty darn delicious too.
It’s called a Chococo (a rich chocolatey dessert with pineapple rum and coconut and a few other things.
Not perfect but many of the dishes are amazing!

The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week
Had two very good meals out this week. One was from STK Steakhouse in the Rio. Currently they have a Sunday-Thursday 3:30-5:30 Three Course Special for $69. per person. Everything was delicious and very good.
Also a new place called The Cantina opened even closer than the Centennial Location that I have been to. They just might serve the best fajitas in town so that is a big win!
On the bad side the cheesesteak and chicken steak hoagie were HORRIBLE from Tony Luke’s in the Rio.
Both were filled with dried out crunchy meats.
Also my local neighborhood Smith always has something.
Today I saw this in there.
The $21.62 package of steak got reduced? to $22.28 WTFork!

NOT SWEET – The Museum of Ice Cream – Not a Museum – Really a Kid’s Playground
The Museum of Ice Cream has a location in area 15 that is very close to the Las Vegas Strip.
First of all they make you wait outside even if it’s 115F outside.
Once you get in someone greets you with ice cream joking and you are suppose to make a name tag naming something ice cream related.
It’s not much of a museum. It’s more of a kiddy playground.
They have lots of slides all over the place. They also have a styrofoam peanut……OOPPS! I mean sprinkle pool.
Mini golf type games
An artificial bus ride
Spinning wheel of strawberry
There is a lot more.
Ice cream tattoos, plastic bead bracelet making, some sort of movie but they only let you in at certain times, There is also a gift shop to purchase things. They also had a room of refrigerator doors. A few were rooms but others just had silly things inside. Oh and I almost forgot that they have many different slides in here all over. You can just go on slides all day if that’s what you enjoy.
and there were 16 flavors of ice cream. Eight flavors were made by Blue Bunny.
I tried peanut butter & jelly and also blueberry basil sorbet. I was surprised that they don’t have cones or whipped cream here.
Tried their slot machines.
One out of four was not functioning.
Tried another……I won but didn’t win anything so that was disappointing.
Went back to try some sort serve and maybe some of the toppings.
I picked chocolate because the only flavors offered were chocolate and strawberry ice. I thought chocolate with go better with the topping I wanted.
Chocolate isn’t working either. I told someone and then this gets a new sign on it.
This experience was not worth $113.95 (with tax and service charge) for two people.
The Museum of Ice Cream just might be the BIGGEST Rip Off of Las Vegas.

Village Pub – Aliante – North Las Vegas NV – 24/7 Bar, Gaming, Restaurant – Worth a Try!
Village Pub is not a fancy place. It is one of the many casual 24/7 Bar, Gaming, Restaurants that we have in Vegas that offers an American Food and Breakfast Menu. There are (at this time and about to grow even more) sixteen Village Pub locations in Vegas. The North Las Vegas Aliante location has a separate bar and gaming room and also a non smoking dining room.
I decided to try the Apple Pecan Salad with added salmon.
I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. My blackened salmon was nicely seasoned and moist and fresh tasting. It was cooked to around medium (that’s pretty darn rare especially in North Las Vegas). It was surrounded by fresh soft greens. crisp fresh cut apple, a good amount of candied pecans, lots of garlic toast and citrus vinaigrette.
My husband tried the Chicken Fried Chicken.
He was pretty pleased with this dish too. He said that the chicken was moist and delicious as were the potatoes and eggs. He also enjoyed the rye bread that he got with it.
Pricing was reasonable and portions were large.
First visit here to Village Pub was a winner!

Trattoria Reggiano – Mostly Very Good – Summerlin Las Vegas NV
Trattoria Reggiano is a full service Italian Restaurant and Bar with two locations in Vegas. One location is in the Venetian Casino/Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip and the other location is in the Downtown Summerlin open mall. The Summerlin location offers a more casual slightly shorter menu with sandwiches and Monday-Friday Happy Hour Menus. The Summerlin location also offers outdoor patio seating, bar seating, and traditional table seating.
Below is the front dining area.
Below you can see some of the patio area.
You can also see the open kitchen.
I decided to try the Grilled Salmon.
It’s a nice large portion of fish. They removed the skin and the bloodline so you don’t have to worry about that. It’s cooked around medium so it’s nice and moist and is fresh tasting. It came with perfectly cooked and seasoned broccoli, fancy carrots with garlic, and those gourmet mini potatoes with fresh rosemary. It’s very good! It’s also a very large portion of food. Not everyone but many can get two meals out of this.
My husband’s Chicken Parmesan was also perfect and very good.
It’s also a large generously sized plate of food.
I had half of my plate packed up so we could share an Imported Italian Tartufo. (chocolate shell with strawberry, pistachio, chocolate gelatos inside)
Everything was perfect until dessert.
It looks good but it tastes like no frills budget ice cream. I would not recommend the imported Italian Tartufo.
But the salmon and chicken parmesan were very good.
Maybe we’ll try Happy Hour next time?

The FORKING FOOD Buzz of the Week
Best meal out of the week came from Rang’s Cocina Moderne. This time I enjoyed the pesto crusted salmon and my husband enjoyed the slow braised beef cheek.
Incase you don’t know. Rangs Cocina Moderne is a top 100 restaurant of Las Vegas. On all my visits there the food is always very good and so was the service.
It was a very busy week
Also did the Neighborhood Block Party Summer Fest at The Resort at Summerlin.
Also discovered Cafe Landwer. Maybe the first chain I’ve been to that was usually good.
Above is from Cafe Landwer.
Most terrible things of the week were the over salted tacos from the Neighborhood Block Party from Tacos 1986.
Maybe the biggest FOOD News story this week is the sudden closure of all the Salad and Gos Here. All seven have closed and will reopen as Dutch Brothers Coffee places.
