The Brass Fork — Restaurant in Las Vegas

UPDATE: Added pictures to my original review.

My family and I have been to this restaurant at least 20 times now; not because we're habitual gamblers and have nothing to do in life or can't find anywhere else to eat...but to enjoy the good food they serve here. I mean, don't get me wrong, we do enjoy coming to Santa Fe Station from time to time to donate our money to the machines, but that's a topic of discussion for another day/time.

Taking a step back into history, we remember visiting here when the restaurant was called Grand Cafe; however, ever since its rebranding back in early 2021, everything has gotten remarkably better with respect to food and service. Currently, The Brass Fork offers cutting edge menu selections which focuses on key entrees, versus having a menu with an enormous selection that only provides sub-standard quality - needless to say, I'm not a fan of those restaurants that provide a large novel (menu) that is overwhelming when trying to decide what to eat. Also, I'm not sure what happened, but even the service became so much more efficient, to include the servers becoming more friendlier, professional, and more attentive. Regardless, whatever the case or reason, we appreciate the staff working here. I think we've visited this restaurant so many times to which I think we've had each server at least twice by now.

As far as the food goes, I won't list all the food we've experienced on the menu because it's safe to say we've tried ~78% of the menu items. But I will highlight my family's favorite items: Hot Wings (yes, I would put that against a lot of wing restaurants in the LV valley), Seafood Chowder in the Sourdough Boule, Mediterranean Chicken Pita, Grilled Salmon, Steak and Fried Shrimp (I'm not sure if they still offer Fried Shrimp - I know you can add Grilled Shrimp), Chicken Parmesan, Turkey Dinner, and I will go on saying majority of the breakfast menu items. Also, I have noticed a slight decline in quality to the Prime Rib because the size doesn't seem to match up to the actual weight as advertised (it seems to be getting smaller and smaller, with more fat in the cut throughout the months of eating here). Now, I don't bring a portable weight scale with me to weigh the Prime Rib as validation, but it just seem like it - the quality overall though is still good.

The service overall is outstanding - from the time you're greeting up front from the host/hostess(es), all the way to the end with the cashiers. If you're having a rough night on the casino floor because of the stubborn and mean slot/poker machines, then take a break and go experience some good food and friendly staff. Also, if you've been playing for a while and spending a lot of your hard-earned money, then talk to a casino host to see if you could get a meal comp at this restaurant. Definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone; whether you're a local or visiting from...

Horrible service..horrible food We went here because we frequent the Stations Cafes but what a disappointment. We wanted take out and waited 35 minutes for a server to come to us after asking someone twice about how to get service and it wasn't a busy time for them. We got the Rubens and a French onion chop steak. Both were awful. The Reuben had no 1000 island and the sauerkraut tasted sweet like cole slaw. The chop steak had zero gravy. Zero onions. And the mashed potatoes were tasteless paste even though the waitress ask us what kind of gavey we wanted and typed it in, there was no french onion or mushroom gravy anywhere in the order. We went back the next day and asked for a manager and explained how bad it was. Even though the waitress asked what kind of gravy we wanted, gave us choices and typed it it, the manager said they don't even have mushroom gravy...She offered us a comped meal so we decided to try again with something different. It was also horrible..this time we got the prime rib dip and chicken panini. The prime rib dip came on bread not a french baggett to stand up to dipping in aus ju. The chicken panini was lacking chicken and very small. Also they are expensive for what you get. If you are used to the Cafe at Stations casinos skip the Brass Fork and go to Boulder...

I had high hopes for this place... it didn't completely disappoint... but it wasn't fabulous either. The server we had was super nice, friendly & offered to make me some pink lemonade as they don't have that ready at all times. So that was super nice of her! Now let's talk about the good & bad regarding the food. The Denver Omelette was outstanding! Tasted fresh, had lots of ingredients & the cheese was stringy and warm... Yum! The hashbrowns well... average... The sour dough bread was great. Now let's talk about the very disappointing Belgium waffle. As you will see in the pictures... it was so cold the butter didn't even melt. However, that was only the first issue. The waffle was not very tasty... it was somewhat raw in the center and the batter was not mixed properly as you could still taste the powder. The waffle says it comes with warm maple syrup... And it was warm... but it was brought to our table 10 or more mins before the waffle... so it was no longer warm when the food came....All in all this was a huge disappointment and I wouldn't recommend ordering the waffle. On the flip side the side of bacon was super crispy just as I requested.... So, pick & choose what you order... some of it may be great & some may not...
