Americana is an American Restaurant and Bar with lakeside views that is located in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas Nevada. You might want to come here for lunch so you can see the attractive lakeside views.

Even at Lunch Time they start you off with tasty warm bread with soft butter. (we both thought that this was the best part of lunch)

We watched the birds that flew or swam by while we waited for our lunches to be prepared.

Then our lunches arrive.

I tried a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with upgraded truffle fries. The chicken breast is plump and moist. But this seems to be a non-traditional Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. It was served on a soft sweet bun. It also is spicy but the spicy isn’t a paste or sauce. Instead it is a powder on top of the chicken. It is spicy. The other issue is that the breading is soft and not crispy. The sandwich is topped with a dill type pickle and creamy slaw is under the chicken in the sandwich. Fries are fresh and well prepared and are topped with a shredded Italian type cheese and some sort of truffle dust.

My husband ordered a medium-rare cheese burger with fries.

It was prepared past the requested medium/rare to around medium. It comes with their house sauce that is similar to fry sauce. The burger comes with caramelized onions and cheddar cheese and some lettuce and tomato slices. It’s kinda your average burger. Not the most flavor but ok.

I was hoping dessert would be the sweet spot here so I took home 1/2 my lunch so we’d have room to try dessert.

The Lemon Italian Cream Cake sounded good so we gave it a try.

To me it tastes like pound cake.

I think the cinnamon cream (not mentioned on menu) is very strange tasting with this cake.

There are also strawberry flavored candy curls and strawberry-ish lemon dots on the plate and the cake is topped with a large un-ripe strawberry.

Americana – beautiful lakeside atmosphere but pretty average food served at lunch time. Hopefully dinners could be a sweet spot here?
