The FORKING Truth is that Many Las Vegas Restaurants Open Later than Posted Hours

This has happened several times previously but it just so happens that in the last three weeks I experienced three restaurants opening late and a fourth restaurant not open after a day after a grand opening.

Anyways

We were going to Pizza Nation. They were suppose to open at 12:00 on Sundays. We arrived just after 12:00 and saw chairs up on tables, nobody inside, and locked doors. We left and went someplace else.

The very next week tried to go to Hummus Vegas. They still (as of me typing this) have hours posted of 11:00 – 7pm Sunday – Thursday

SEE SIX LINES DOWN

We arrived a little after 11:00 and someone in there tells up that they don’t open till 12:00 s we left and went someplace else.

The following week.

Wanted to go back to Taste of Gujarat. The OPEN sign was on but the doors were locked. We knocked. My husband called. Nobody answered. They opened an hour latter.

Across from Taste of Gujarat was Grill Nine. I heard many great things about this restaurant so I thought it was a convenient second choice.

It was suppose to open April 1st. We were here April 2nd and it’s still not open.

The FORKING Truth is that many Las Vegas Restaurants open later than posted.

A Peak of With Love Always (Smash Burger & Custard) Las Vegas NV

With Love Always is a casual Smash Burger and soft frozen Custard Shop with a few locations in Vegas. They offer a very basic menu of burgers, a few sides, and of course custad.

Usually at all locations you will find a long line out the door to get in. We came in the afternoon just for the frozen custard.

There are only a few tables inside and a few outdoor picnic tables.

We ordered and paid at the counter and in reasonable time someone runs our order out to us.

I try a vanilla custard with cherry dip.

I think that it is pretty good. I even like the cherry sauce embellishment over the cherry dip. I think that I am a pretty good eater but for me the only problem is that this dessert is ENORMOUS and sadly I have to throw from the cone down away. It should come in a smaller size.

My husband tries the chocolate cone.

I’d also very large. But is only mildly chocolate flavored so it leaves you yearning for more chocolate.

My Trip to the Sunday Buffet at IL Toro E La Capra – Las Vegas NV

IL Toro E La Capra is a Mexican Restaurant with Old World Italian Decor and also offers some Italian Dishes on the menu. This restaurant is located not too far past the strip. On the Sunday of our visit they weren’t using the first floor. We had our choice of using the stairs or taking the elevator. When we arrived we got seated right away. They do offer a long Mexican Menu and also do offer some Italian Dishes. It was pretty crowded and I noticed that nearly everyone was getting the buffet so I thought it was the way to go.

They start us off with complimentary chips, spicy salsa, and bean dip.

The salsa is extra spicy. It doesn’t taste like natural chili in it to me. It tastes like some sort of strong chemical extract that is barely edible.

Here’s most of the buffet.

Here’s most of the food we took.

My favorite bites were the fresh vegetables, the fresh fruit, and the vanilla soft serve but the the corn, rice, and risotto weren’t bad.

I knew better than to try beef from a buffet. My husband said that the worst plates were the beef ones. One was chewy. the other was tough. He thought his chicken was dry. I thought mine wasn’t dry but was weird for a fajita because instead of grilled meat it seemed more like simmered in liquid fajita. I didn’t try the fish because it was breaded and also in liquid falling apart. The other worst dish had to be the pasta. It was the mushiest pasta ever made anywhere.

We saw signs all over saying that Monday-Saturday the Buffet is less than $20. We found out that the Sunday Buffet ran $29.95.

SoulBelly BBQ Still Worth a Fork! – Las Vegas NV

Soulbelly BBQ is located in the Downtown Arts District of Las Vegas that’s not too far from the famous Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. This restaurant is by Chef Bruce Kalman who is a former Bravo Top Chef and was also James Beard Nominated. He was also victorious on Food Network’s Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay Shows.

On your way in there is a good sized patio and a large smoker that is usually smoking meat.

Inside there is a bar, an open kitchen, dining area, and a stage for bands.

Every time we go the menu seems to change some.

Maybe half the time I get the ground in-house smoked brisket burger occasionally. (I get it with slaw instead of cheese)

It’s always good!

My husband often orders a sandwich called The Belly of the Soul. (smoked brisket, fried egg, cheese sauce, pickled onions, spicy bbq sauce, and crispy onions)

It was really good to him and the Mac-n-cheese was also good too.

Here’s the menu we had.

Soulbelly is still Worth a Fork!

The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week

It’s pretty rare that the best and worst of the week come from the same restaurant. The Best plate of the week was from Amador Cocina Fina. When there GET THE MUSHROOMS!

This was oyster mushroom yakitori with hoja Santa pesto, Tokyo negi, and sesame seeds. Other plates were good too especially the branzino, and the eggs with shrimp and house made potato chips. It was more good than bad but this one plate just didn’t even seem like it came from the same restaurant and chef.

The Flambe Tarte – Pastrami, Manchego Cheese, Caramelized Onions and NOT MENTIONED ON MENU TONS and TONS of Creme Fracihe -, BLECH!

A Peak of Wicked Donuts – Las Vegas NV

Wicked Donuts is a Doughnut Restaurant located in the Sun City Part of Summerlin in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer your usual doughnuts.

And doughnuts that are different.

The atmosphere is also a mix of the usual doughnut shop and something different.

My husband tried a triple chocolate doughnut.

It was very chocolatey cake-ee doughnut.

I tried the Blue Suede Banana Doughnut (with peanut butter banana filling)

For my liking this is too large of a doughnut so I cut it in half. The other half I ate the nest day.

The doughnut seems freshly made and has a nice chocolatey topping that was adorned by a banana chip. Inside the doughnut is a creamy banana + peanut butter custard. For me the flavors work well together.
