Carve Prime Rib is the steakhouse at The Cannery Casino Hotel in North Las Vegas. I read that they offer a 10 ounce ground in house Prime Rib Burger so I wanted to give that a try. We sat at the bar.
For $20. This is a VERY GOOD burger and I got two meals out of it. I usually don’t care for the skinny fries but they were prepared nicely and stayed hot because of the heated bowl. The portion of fries was also extra generous and I brought a bunch home.
The 10 oz Prime Rib Burger from Carve Prime Rib is certainly Worth a Try!

Dining out with DOGS is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all really started with my late dog Louie. He always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got elderly and came down with aggressive cancer we were told that Louie only had about three months to live and maybe up to 6 months. I took Louie out to eat as often as possible and he made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.
We went to Hawaiian Barbecue in North Las Vegas Nevada. They serve Hawaiian Lunch Plates……It’s usually an enormous amount of food served in a Styrofoam container usually served with rice and macaroni salad. They don’t have their own patio but a community patio is only a few doors down.
Today I went for the MINI Machiko Chicken……
.This “MINI” meal is not so mini and also came with a side cup of macaroni salad.t’s a lot of tender flavorful dark meat chicken that might be marinated and it’s coated in a slightly sticky crunchy coating. This really is an enormous amount of food and it only cost $8.99.
The dogs are thrilled with it.
The dogs also enjoyed my husband’s Bento Box. (BBQ beef, BBQ chicken, fried fish, and Spam, with double rice and macaroni salad.
The dogs and us enjoyed dining out at Hawaiian Barbecue #1.

The next weekend it was too cold to dine out so we did take out from SNS Diner BBQ.
My husband and dog are very found of the gumbo there.
My husband (and dog) also enjoy the hot link and macaroni and cheese.
I like (and the dogs like) the bbq pastrami from SNS Diner BBQ but I do note that the pastrami I tried here in June was spiced and smoked and hand cut a little better than today’s…..Don’t get me wrong todays is still good but what I tried in June was phenomenal.
Picture of June Pastrami.
June Pastrami
It taste different than the thin sliced pastrami.
Both dogs are interested in the pastrami and the macaroni and cheese.
The dogs always enjoy SNS Diner BBQ

The next day during the day we thought it was warm enough to treat the dogs to an In-And-Out-Burger. So we did that real fast.
The dogs never complain about In-And-Out-Burgers……There are close to 400 locations of In and Out Burgers out there and this chain is growing too so one might be near you soon.
That was Dining Out With DOGS in North Las Vegas. We Hope you’ve enjoyed and we hope to see you next month.

Taverna Costera is a restaurant, bar, art gallery, and music venue located in the arts district of downtown Las Vegas Nevada. They call themselves a Mediterranean Restaurant but they offer an artsy type of food menu that is pretty much fusion everything and or non-traditional. For appetizers they offer things like hibachi ribeye fries, gyro fries, and pork adobo fries, kalua pig nachos, Japanese corn, and minestrone couscous soup. You can also find things like various pita sandwiches, Hawaiian plate lunches, and Taverna/Dragon bowls and plates.
For seating they have indoor seating, bar seating, patio seating and rooftop seating.
We decided to share the (non-traditional) arancini (here they are fried rice balls made with pretzels and topped with pesto).
They do differ from traditional arancini but still are kind of tasty.
For my main I tried the ahi salad.
It’s furikake coated tuna, mixed greens, mango, onion, tomato, wonton crisp noodles, and miso ginger dressing. It’s reasonably good……..Not bad but can use a punch of something……maybe a drizzle of wasabi? or more ginger?
My husband tried the Hawaii meets Philly steak pita with Swiss cheese, peppers, and onions with wasabi mayo on the side and fries.
It’s reasonably good. The beef is tender and has some developed flavor. The cheese is nice and melted. The fries are fresh and hot.
Or for something different they also offer weekend brunch things like………
That was my trip to Taverna Costera – 1031 South Main Street Las Vegas NV
Via Focaccia isn’t an ordinary sandwich shop. It is by chef Ismaele Romano who became the 2021 Sandwich champion from the 2021 International Pizza Expo. The fast/casual Artisan Sandwich shop is located in the Ellis Island Casino Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada. My husband got to try one of these focaccia sandwiches recently at the “Unstripped” food festival.
He kept talking about how great this sandwich was…………..This particular sandwich was not for me but they offer several other sandwiches at the restaurant that I wouldn’t mind trying….so….Off we went to Via Focaccia.
It’s a very small food stand. I see only maybe three small high top tables to sit at…….
Not much is in the case.
I already decided on what I’m getting.
I have to try the (non-traditional) brisket pastrami from an official sandwich champion. (brisket pastrami, caramelized onions, mushrooms, fontina cheese, honey mustard aioli)
We wait a little while till our order is ready……
WOW!
WOW! This is FORKING GREAT! The pastrami sandwich has been reinvented. The pastrami is full flavored, tender, and the right amount of fat for this sandwich. Never in a million years could I imagine pastrami on bread like this but somehow it does work in a magical way. Usually I find mustard that is too strong to go with the bold flavors of pastrami but the honey mustard aioli is a perfect embellishment that doesn’t compete with the flavors. It enhances. All the flavors and texture are perfect together.
My husband enjoyed the sandwich called Classica (ham, mortadella, cappicola, provolone, olive spread).
He said that this was a really great sandwich. He also thought that the meats were high quality. He liked it so much he said, “I’ll go here anytime you want.”
Nora’s Cuisine is an award wining Italian Restaurant located in Las Vegas Nevada (a short distance from the Las Vegas Strip). They offer dinner every night and lunch is served Monday-Friday. They are a little different than most places because they offer a long menu of many dishes to pick from. This is also a very large restaurant with multiple dining areas, a bar, and patio dining.
Bread service is an optional $1. per person. You might get plain or garlic toast. We got garlic toast.
My husband started to with a bowl of pasta faggioli.
I tried the Scottish salmon with arugula and tomato.
The fish is seasoned well and was prepared reasonably well. The arugula was bright and bitter in a good way and seemed extra fresh. The red tomato wedge was delicious. It was marinated and sweet and flavorful. The two lighter wedges tasted raw…
My husband enjoyed the falcita lunch. (rope sausage, house salad with aged provolone)
We managed to save room to try a dessert and went for the almond cake.
It was made with ricotta and almond flour and was topped with vanilla sauce. It was very good but tasted more like a slice of lemon cake.
Lunch at Nora’s Cuisine is Worth a Try!

Louie Louie The Restaurant in Las. Vegas Nevada serves sushi, unique sushi rolls, and hibachi. This is a full service restaurant and bar.
We started out by sharing a salmon tostada.
The salmon is very fresh and it’s topped with pico, avocado and herbs. Under is a creamy sauce that is bright and very lime-ee.
We shared one of the Louie Louie Specialty rolls called the Ozzy Roll. (tuna, salmon, avocado, wasabi tobico ((also spelled tobiko flying fish roe)), black tobico, masago ((capelin roe)))
This was an amazing roll bursting with all kinds of delicious flavors! It’s so detailed.
Teeny tiny lemon wedges with little tiny crisp things. It’s popping with all kinds of flavors and some heat too!
We also shared a filet mignon and chicken hibachi.
It came out sizzling like a fajita.
The vegetables were zucchini, carrots, onions, and broccoli. You dip them in the creamy sauce (basically a sriracha mayo) and you dip the meats in a ginger-ee type sauce. This also comes with steamed rice but you do have the option to upgrade to fried rice or noodles. Today the beef came out better than the chicken.
Worth a Try!

Dining Out with DOGS is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It started back with my late dog Louie. He always LOVED going out to eat. When he was elderly and was diagnosed with aggressive cancer I took him out as often as I could to eat. Instead of his 3-6 month life expectancy Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when I can and when the weather is right.
We took the dogs to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas. The popular dishes here are pizzas and cheesesteaks. This restaurant is very dog friendly. They even have a craft dog biscuit vending machine inside that offers FOUR flavors of dog biscuits.
Last time my dogs tried the beef biscuits. This time they tried the chicken biscuits.
One of the nice workers there ran a dog bowl of water over to my dogs.
The dogs were very happy tasting some of my husband’s cheesesteak. (my husband was happy eating it too)
The dogs were also happy to help me eat my lakeside salad with added chicken.
The dogs always enjoy dining at Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas NV.

Echo & Rig is a butcher shop and steakhouse located in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas in Tivoli Village.
Some of the meats they sell.
You walk up the stairs or use an elevator to get to the dining room.
Even at lunch time they start you off with bread and soft butter.
We started out by sharing the fried spinach salad (red onion, cauliflower, broccoli, chile-lime vinaigrette)
I think it’s very good. The broccoli and cauliflower were slightly cooked so they aren’t hard and raw. The spinach magically isn’t oily. It’s very similar to what several of the Thai restaurants offer here without the tempura coating.
I tried the signature house ground burger (chuck, short rib, brisket) with bib lettuce, heirloom tomato, red onion, aioli, and kennebec fries (I asked for medium…..to me it’s closer to medium-rare- rare on end but still good)
It’s very juicy and really is a very flavorful burger. The fries are good but slightly over-done today…….Still a great value for $17 (subject to change). It might be among the best burgers in Vegas……
My husband tried the crispy porchetta sandwich that comes with garlic chips.
I heard that flavors were good but today this ran a little dry….more dry than what he likes.
Lunch at Echo & Rig is Worth a Try!

Sinful Subs is a very unique casual sandwich shop located in Las Vegas Nevada. This restaurant is by celebrity chef Vic Vegas who has been on multiple TV Shows but is most famous for being on Bar Rescue.
This casual sandwich shop has a gritty New York Theme to it. Many of the menu items have CRAZY Names like a turkey club is named, “Club to the Head.” An Italian type sandwich is called, “Knuckle Sandwich.” They also offer some snack-at-tizers like meatloaf fried in crispy wonton wrappers and served with mashed potatoes and gravy. The weekend only breakfast called, “Walk Of Shame” is three layers of French toast layered with eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, American AND Cream Cheese, and a hash brown with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
I tried what they call TV dinner. (medium sized sandwiches come in medium & large)
I think a better name for this is a Thanksgiving? This is surprisingly pretty good……The bread is better than from several other sandwich shops I’ve been to. The turkey is called roasted turkey breast but it seems like the better turkey lunch meat? It’s very flavorful…..I think the turkey was heated up in turkey stock? Stuffing A-OK. Mashed potatoes are A-OK I confess that I didn’t try the turkey gravy…..I can tell by looking at it that it came from a jar or a can so I passed on that but all together everything was tasty. Even the corn was nice and flavorful. The cranberry sauce is a similar quality to the gravy. Overall a surprisingly pretty good! This is also filling. I’m a pretty good eater and ate the corn and half the sandwich so I got another half for another time. At the time of my visit this sandwich doesn’t cost much more than fast food and is much better than anything fast food….(only $9.49 subject to change)
My husband tried the chicken parm that is called Italian Chick-en Vegas (large)
It’s made with hand breaded chicken fingers, a rich tomato sauce and lots of melty mozzarella cheese. ($11.99 subject to change)
Sinful Subs is Worth a Try!

Milpa Mexican Cafe is located in Las Vegas Nevada.They are a small but high quality Mexican Cafe. High quality heirloom corn from Mexico is used in the house made stone ground mass and tortillas. They offer all day breakfast and brunch, 9 kinds of vegetable, grain, and taco bowls, tacos, sides, coffees, Oaxacan hot chocolates, a few cocktails, beer, soft beverages, and more!
It’s casual. Your order at the counter, pay, and grab a number and seat yourself. They run the food to you when it’s ready.
Between us we tried all the tacos and a side of arbol potatoes. All of the tacos were very good but I did favor some over others.
Chicken Adobo Tacos – Citrus ans Adobo marinated grilled chicken, cabbage, cilantro, pickled onions, radish, salsa verde. These had a delicious char taste on the chicken.
One is the fish taco (maui maui) not sure what is next to it because many of the tacos look the same here. The taco next to it might be the Cauliflower Tinga? – Tinga marinated roasted cauliflower, cabbage, cilantro, pickled onions, radish, salsa verde………I thought this one had the most delicious flavors! I could go for one right now!
Not positive but I think this was the beef barbacoa. The barbacoa is very jiggly here with lots of fat. The flavor is good. My husband liked this one more than the asada but I liked the asada better.
I didn’t try the Birria Queso Taco (braised beef) with cheese and this ULTRA POWERFUL salsa Arbol sauce……..This one ain’t for tenderfoots. The most powerful sauce ever to be paired with birria.
Grilled Steak…..(maybe not your favorite but this one was my favorite of the beef tacos) caramelized steak and onions, guacamole, salsa macha, (I’m not much of a beef person but this one was one of the most delicious to me) and Mushroom Carnitas onions, avocado, salsa verde, salsa guajillo, cilantro
I think this was the shrimp taco – Lime & Garlic Shrimp, cabbage, cilantro, pickled onions, radish, salsa verde
