Q: As someone who compulsively had to read all 70+ reviews, I knew going in that the burnt ends poutine, ribs, and brisket were the most generally well received items. So that's exactly what we ordered. (With a side of Mac and cheese balls -- because, why not?)

I really wanted to love the brisket/brunt ends poutine, but it was just a smidge too salty for me.

I'm not a big rib person mainly because of how messy they generally are. So what I did really like about BSBBQ was that the ribs were dry-rubbed so while you could add as much additional sauce that you wanted, you could also eat them "as is" and they weren't messy, and still had loads of flavour. However, my husband (who loves ribs) only ranked Blackstrap BBQ as second (diablos is first, and le boucan is third) in ribs.

All in all, a bit of an uneven experience. We both thought the Mac and cheese was delicious, I loved the ribs and my husband was slightly lukewarm about them, and the poutine was generally a miss. Not likely somewhere we would go again unless we wanted take-out and were in the area. Because honestly, for roughly the same price, diablos has much more to offer in terms of atmosphere, drink options, and location for people looking to "dine in" and relax at a restaurant with some friends.

A: 3 stars

Q: After being a regular customer for the last year, I've finally gotten around to reviewing Pho Nam. Small, family owned restaurant, they've always provided delicious Vietnamese food and great service. We frequent this restaurant for Sunday lunch, particularly in the winters and our orders usually consist of pho with rare beef and vermicelli with pork.

Q: "MY God, what have I done to deserve this", were the words I spoke when eating here. Being in Las Vegas, Nevada, a.k.a. Sin City, I knew that I had to atone for my sins, but I do not know what sin I could have committed to deserve this place! I can not tell you how many times I've been disappointed by restaurants that tout their great service and even better food, then come away feeling despondent.

However, this restaurant takes the proverbial cake, and a crap one at that!

Where to begin? After having been sitting at a table with my guest for 15 minutes, the waitress finally decided it was time to work. Realizing that she was indifferent, my guest and I ordered some red wine to numb the pain we knew lay ahead. When the wine came, it was as warm as the desert outside the hotel. Enduring this bit of pain, we decided to press our luck further.

I ordered the Kobe steak which after about 40 minutes of wondering when my food would show up, came most disappointingly. Kobe beef, the most rarified and king of all steaks, prepared properly medium rare, came out well done. Well done! I was horrified to see such splendor squandered. I decided to take a bite and tasted charcoal. I was livid. I found my nonexistent, indifferent waitress and demanded to see the manager.

A manager came round and apologized and brought me another Kobe steak, this time thankfully, faster than the last. When it finally arrived, it too suffered a cruel fate reserved only for witches in Salem. I spoke with the manager who brought out his manager. This new bloke apologized some more and took my meal off my bill. My bill? Yes, it seems I still had to pay for my guest whose food was only average. I feel that if one person's meal is ruined, everyone's is. Therefore everything should be taken care of. Sadly, Strip Steak doesn't think this way. Strip Steak simply doesn't think or cook for that matter. They can apologize well though.
