Able Baker Bomb Shelter- Centennial – UPDATE – Las Vegas NV – Get the Pork Belly! Skip the Pastrami

Able Baker Bomb Shelter is a Craft Beer and Sports Bar Type of Restaurant located in Centennial or what is North/West Las Vegas Nevada. The opening chef is from Fontainebleau’s Mother Wolf Restaurant and that is pretty big for Centennial. It’s not a fancy place and it’s a bit loud inside inside with big screen TV’s, a separate bar area and two outdoor patios.

On my first visit (Opening weekend)

We tried the cauliflower appetizer

I thought that it was slightly over cooked and possibly blander than it should be but both main meals were very good.

I enjoyed the Strawberry Fields Salad with added Salmon.

The salad was tasty and the salmon was nicely prepared.

My husband enjoyed the pork belly dip.

It was a bit short on the onions but the pork was very good according to my husband.

We even tried dessert since the chef was the pastry chef from Mother Wolf on the Las Vegas Strip.

It was the lightest cinnamon bun ever made with ube gelato. It was very delicate and also delicate flavor-wise too!

Went back with some friends and tried the Lunch Special Pastrami Sandwich (special order no mozzarella cheese) It come with your choice of salad or fries. Here’s the good. The side salad was good and the fresh baked in house bun was good.

The roll is dressed with a dijonnaise that is pretty much just mayo, a few pickles, really HOT Fresno chilies, and it’s missing the pickled onions. I’m not a fan of the pastrami. It tastes mostly like the flavor that curing salt gives and some black pepper. I also don’t like the texture. I think too much Prague powder (curing salt might have been used?) It’s missing the flavors and smoke that pastrami should have. It should have tastes of juniper, coriander, allspice, garlic, bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, onion, mustard, peppers. This can pass as cheap dollar store lunch meat so it was disappointing.

Someone else at our table said that the pork belly tacos were good. I know my husband enjoyed the pork belly dip. I had a strawberry fields salad with salmon that was good and a friend also had the strawberry fields salad but with chicken and she said that it was good.

A couple people tried margaritas. They said that the drinks tasted like they were missing something.

Service was below average on the second visit.

Pick pork belly over pastrami here.

And beers over margaritas here.
