Winchell’s Pub & Grill – North Las Vegas – Large Portions & Low Prices – Good if you don’t care what it tastes like

Winchell’s Pub & Grill is a 24/7 American Restaurant, Bar, and Gaming Type of Place with 2 locations. The North Las Vegas Location has a separate bar and gaming area.

Then here is part of the dining area. I noticed behind this room is another dining room and a patio.

I sat in a booth and the springs seem busted.

It’s not a wine place so I tried a Bloody Mary.

I don’t know what I am tasting?

It also doesn’t seem like there is alcohol in it…..I don’t know why but this is very difficult to drink. (yuk)

My husband tried a cup of chili.

He said it’s not seasoned much. It’s mostly ground beef and beans and is very thick like a sloppy Joe.

I tried the Fish and Chips with sweet potato fries.

They forgot to give me the slaw that comes with it.

The sweet potato fries came with a small cup of cinnamon sugar on the side for the fries. I think the fries are ok. The cod is fried nicely but seems to be unseasoned. The tartar sauce seems mostly unseasoned too. I don’t know why this doesn’t taste good to me? I used lemon and added stuff to the tartar sauce to make it taste better but this still doesn’t taste good to me. I took a bunch home for my dogs. My older dog was extra crazy about it. It was prepared just right for her and the elderly.

My husband tried the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich.

The menu reads THIGHS but this chicken was white meat.

I tasted a small piece. It’s not spicy and it taste burnt to me.

My husband did disagree about the burnt taste but did agree not spicy and weird tasting.

He thought the potato salad tasted like from a tub and also lacked seasoning.’

The slaw was kinda weird and had walnuts in it.

Large potions – Low Prices – Good if you don’t care what it tastes like.

Parsley Modern Mediterranean – Rampart – Las Vegas NV – Much Better than Similar National Chain Place – Worth a Try!

Parsley Modern Mediterranean is a fast/casual “Chipotle Style” Mediterranean Restaurant with four locations in Las Vegas Nevada. You build your platter as you go down the line.

We both ordered plates – one was a chicken schnitzel plate and the other was 1/2 beef, 1/2 chicken shawarma.

We also shared an order of falafels.

The Falafels are very good here. They have crisp exteriors and very herby middles.

Much better than a similar National Casual Mediterranean Chain.

Worth a Try!

A Taste of Via Via Food Hall at the Venetian – Las Vegas NV

A New Food Hall recently opened in the Venetian on the casino floor called Via Via Food Hall. We did a little sampling here and there.

Eater Las Vegas said one of the best bites of the month was the Medium-Hot Chicken Sando from Howl’in Ray’s so I had to try it.

And we tried Shake Fries with Comeback Sauce.

Fries are hot and fresh, nicely seasoned, and with fluffy interiors. The sauce is tasty.

The Sando is quite large.

The white meat breaded chicken is nice and moist. The exterior is crisp and not oily. It does have layers of flavors, some heat and an added slight sweetness to it. The slaw, dill pickles, and sauce complement it well. The only thing that I am not sure about is the choice of bun they used because it disintegrates as you eat it….

Next we share one order of wagyu pastrami buns from Ivan Ramen. (pastrami made in house with sour kraut and Japanese/Russian Dressing)

They accidentally burnt our order and said we had to wait a little for a re-make.

The pastrami is almost burnt again and is slice too thin. I can taste that it is almost good but looks nothing like what they serve at their New York Location. Below is how it can look from the New York location.

Above photo is the Wagyu Pastrami Bun from Ivan Ramen New York.

I did try a few bites of Scarr’s Pizza.

It is good and does remind me of an actual slice of pizza from New York because it has that special oiliness that pizza from New York has. Scarr’s variation might be slightly thinner and lighter.

My husband gives a fried bologna sandwich a try from Turkey and the Wolf.

Of course he got it without the mayonnaise. This sandwich is made with house made potato chips, cheese, lettuce, honey mustard, and fried bologna on what looks like Texas Toast. He thought the flavors and textures were very good but would have liked better on regular white bread because it just was too much bread for his taste.

That was a little taste of Via Via Food Hall at The Venetian on the Casino Floor.
