Q: Holy supermarket lighting Batman! Yowza it's bright in here! I know, I know, silly that this is my first thought on this delectable dining establishment, but my guest and I turned to each other at the same time upon entering to comment simultaneously on how bright this joint is. Make no mistake about it, you will not have trouble reading the menu in here. Moving right along, our famished selves were seated in a prompt fashion and our friendly waitress came to greet us moments after our post butt-in-seats maneuvers. Our beverage order was taken and filled with a quickness, heaven forbid we wait long for our pot-o-coffee. My mouth and I were quite pleased with the fresh squeezed OJ, and though the coffee was nothing special at all, just the fact that it was caffeine made me happy at that moment. A mushroom and Swiss omelet and veggie eggs Benedict order later, we enjoyed discussing the decor while our breakfast orders were prepared. Farmland murals as far as the eyes could see; hey, it's hard to miss anything in that joint with the light as bright as they are. I also quite enjoyed their happy or sad faced egg option on the table. What the #$% am I talking about you say? Well, instead of doing that whole pesky walking by to ask if everything is OK you can flip your egg to a happy or sad face based on whether or not you need anything! My antisocial self enjoys that, in fact, I think clothing stores should implement this idea. The days of being asked a million times by every sales associate in the store, "are you finding everything OK?" would be over! Back to Egg Works: the food. My omelet was covered in cheese, in fact, I'm pretty certain there was more cheese on my omelet than egg. Have no fear, I merely peeled back the cheese layer and enjoyed my eggy/mushroomy omelet underneath. The breakfast potatoes were tasty, a little heavy on the seasoning but a great balance of crisp and softness. All in all, is Egg Works the most mind-blowing breakfast experience I've ever had, not really. I enjoyed the Cracked Egg a little better, but should I find myself on the West Side of town and craving a tasty breakfast eatery, I would most certainly dine at Egg Works again. Good eats, great service, those two things all by themselves are 4-stars alone these days!

Q: We had a free dinner voucher here, but it didn't include the rodizio....damn. That's pretty much the only reason I'd want to hit up a Brazilian steakhouse. It did include sirloin with mashed potatoes and the salad bar, so we plowed onward, but it was the most underwhelming experience our entire time in Vegas. We left glad that we didn't pay $43 + tax & tip for bad food and slow service. Our food took an hour to come out. Half hour into the order, we were notified that the computer went down, and our order hadn't been sent back to the kitchen. Ten minutes later, the kitchen was "working on plating it", and yet it took another 20 minutes. What the hell were they doing back there? The meat is presumably already cooked since the servers are walking around the restaurant with it, and the plating was nothing special - just sliced meat on a plate - so why did it take 30 more minutes on top of the computer failure? Barely made our show. The salad bar was odd. There were Caesar salar makings, but no Caesar dressing. There was sweet and sour chicken (at a Brazilian place?) and some pastas, but few enticing veggies. I piled on the potatoes and carbed it up. We grabbed some cheese bread (pao de quiejo), usually heavenly, but it was very over cooked, downright crunchy, and hard. The sirloin was good, but not wait-an-hour good... Two gentlemen next to us at the bar had the rodizio, but it was served onto tiny plates, and they kept having to flag down servers as they went by. Crowded interior, greasy floor, expensive for what it is, terrible service . For the best Brazilian steakhouse experience, head to Fogo.

Q: This is what Las Vegas is supposed to be about! Over the top luxury and exquisite old school service at a restaurant that would be right out of a 1960's gangster movie! I made reservations here the last time I was in Vegas. The local firefighters recommended this as a real Vegas experience and they were right. When you step in, you're in a time warp. The big leather-like booths are incredibly comfortable and invite you to sink in. The hostess was obviously proud of her restaurant, going so far as to tell me the history of my booth. (I was in Joey Bishop's booth.) The food..... the important part. I splurged on the fried ravioli and was blown away. Normally, I prefer beef ravioli, but Golden Steer's cheese ravioli was a perfect mild cheese and the marinara sauce was exquisite. I had the NY Strip and was impressed. The steak may not have been the best I've had (The porterhouse for two at Morton's in San Antonio takes that prize.), but it was an excellent steak. The fries were good as was the bread basket. My drinks were refilled and EVERY member of the restaurant's staff made me feel as if I'm the only diner there. If you want the old school Vegas, miss the Sands, and think that the current trend of resort hotels and celebrity chefs isn't what Vegas is -- then this is the place for you. Have a drink for Dean!

Q: Ive stopped at this store twice (both on the way to Beatty for Tough Mudder races) and both times the doughnuts we bought were UNBELIEVABLE! Im floored by how good they were. and I am not talking about just a plain glazed.... filled with different fillings, bacon maples, cinnamon rolls... everything was awesome... the thing that sucked was how long it took for us to get checked out both times... 5-10 minutes at 7am on a saturday.... hmmm....
