One of the "fun-est" things about living in Las Vegas is the bar food. For the uninitiated, local bars also dish up down home American classics to provide nourishment while patrons are drinking or gambling. We Las Vegas locals call it "pub grub." This is delicious for two reason: The food better be good to keep players coming back, because gaming serves us Texas-sized revenues for the establishment. And the food is affordable; the bar doesn't have to charge Strip prices for a good meal. Remedy's tavern offers everything from heart-attack tempting hamburgers to trendy and healthy Thai chicken wraps. And who would guess Remedy's offers some of the most inventive salads this side of the Strip. I have to tell you Remedy's makes its own blue cheese salad dressing. This is, without question, THE best blue cheese salad dressing on the planet. Do not NOT order a salad with this marvelous cheesey, biting concoction on top of it! I don't eat meat...except at fancy Strip steakhouses and Remedy's. I love its "90" Fat Boy burger. It's a stacked, architectural wonder. The chuck patty is layered with American and cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, grilled mushrooms and huge wedges of avocado. And you can have a salad with that blue cheese dressing on it instead of fries. Yes! When summer comes, try the watermelon feta salad. The base is a mix of romaine lettuce with what I call weed greens. They are topped with fresh watermelon, cherry tomatoes, candied pecans and feta. The salad glistens with Remedy's home made watermelon-lime vinaigrette, another dressing they should bottle. And you can't beat breakfast at Remedy's. The ham and eggs come with a five-ounce hunk of ham. And I love their pancakes. Remedy's also lets you build your own burrito. Three scrambled eggs form its base. The restaurant part of the establishment is separated from the bar by a glass wall, the result of Clark County's no smoking in restaurants law. So none of the nasty cigarette smoke spices your scrumptious food. Remedy's serves its breakfast menu all day. And the prices are reasonable. And you don't have to pay for...
Read moreBefore coming in, I called ahead and spoke with the only bartender on shift Wednesday September 13th at 2:40p to ask if ESA animals are permitted. I asked for clarification if only service animals are permitted or if ESA animals with tags are permitted. I was cut off mid sentence when I asked if he meant service animal tags or ESA tags meet the requirements. My intention was to reslect regulations and the rules of the business. If ESA animal tags are not permitted, we planned to order to go and not enter with an ESA animal. I wasn't able to find out what was acceptable because I was cut off and hung up on by the bartender. We came to the door to order food and were greeted by the same individual. I asked again which tags (ESA or service animal) were needed, clarified that medical ESA documentation was available and asked if it was ok for the ESA animal to come in. The bartender raised his voice, insisted that he had been doing this for 20 years, and said he "needed to see tags" I attempted to de-escalate the situation, after making sure no one was waiting to be served ahead of us. I clarified that both ESA and service animals have legally recognized tags in this state and asked what he needed to see. He insisted that he had told me by phone, loudly. He did offer a menu, but very clealy did not understand the question, raised his voice and behaved beligerantly. I have worked in customer service and as a bartender for over 5 years. I had to use my polite customer service voice with this bartender and attempt to calm him down as his behavior was emotional and unprofessional. It was honestly just sad and patheric to see someone in the industry break down and have some sort of bizzare tantrum. We all have off days, but management must have been scrapping the bottom of the barrel...
Read moreHit or miss here. If you look different than the rest of the patrons you will be often totally ignored. Don’t make yourself a regular in this case because the service will walk around and service their friends and you can sit 30-45 minutes with nothing in front of you. When you’ve had enough and complain they will ban you permanently and ask you then why you keep coming back? The whole back of the house come out to witness your humiliation and cheer and laugh when you leave. In my case I ordered taco Tuesday as usual. The girl took my order for $10 steak tacos then threw a menu in front of me for the camera after she took the order and never placed the order. She lied about it and said I never placed an order. A simple apology would have been fine. It’s close to my home so it was convenient. Very laid back unprofessional spot. After filing my complaint the story got all twisted. Your happy hour wings are a chicken leg and whole wing. Your lobster roll is a mini bagel and a teaspoon of lobster mixture. Your fish will be rubber in the middle. Your brownie and ice cream dessert will be hard as a dried brick with freezer burnt ice cream. Some of the staff and the customers will disrespect you. The ladies room is often filthy. I did receive a heart felt email with a sincere apology from HR which meant nothing because it was the owner that fronted me off and asked me not to return. New to Vegas so I guess I overstayed my welcome at Remedy. No one that I spoke with understands the drastic action here and neither do I. They refused the girls name so I can’t post it. Vegas has...
