Problem: If I lived in Vegas, I'd probably be 50 lbs. overweight with all the buffets and cheap (but good) eats everywhere in this desert town. By the power of Yelp, we found something off-the-beaten-path that only the locals know about and a few tourists willing to venture out here. It's located just off The Strip, but pretty far enough to get away from the hustle and bustle of The Strip. This is old-school Vegas at its finest. The cafe is located on the corner of this casino with old, dark, rustic wood panels that reminds you of those classic movies from the 50's and 60's. It's definitely uniquely charming in it's own way. She ain't pretty, in fact she's pretty ugly...but beautiful nonetheless. Vegas is known for many things, and Steak & Eggs is certainly one of them. Wifey and I were looking for a late-night place to grab some grub and this place lit up as bright as all of Vegas' neon signs combined. How could you go wrong with a $5.99 Steak & Eggs special? You simply can't. This is unlike those $5.99 Steak & Eggs specials from Denny's, IHOP's and Reno. It doesn't even come close. So the special runs from 11:00 PM to 07:00 AM. It's perfect for a town that doesn't sleep. They also make their own brew. The one thing I was not expecting from a joint like this was exceptional service. The place is not a dump, it ain't first class either; and certainly not a place where one would expect great service. Our server, Rosie, was superb. Loved everything about her, especially her English accent. Besides their $5.99 Steak & Eggs special, she recommended the Prime Rib ($13.99) as they only had a few cuts left and we better get them before they are 86'd. Wifey and I decided to share, and Rosie said that it comes with a 20 oz. beer. SOLD!!! I ordered the 10 oz. Steak & Eggs ($9.99) while Wifey ordered the special, and the Prime Rib with a side of salad. Rosie threw in the soup of the day for good measure. This place did not disappoint one bit as the steaks were cooked to perfection with all the tenderness and juiciness one would expect from a medium rare steak. But I was in for another surprise as I cut a piece of the Prime Rib and the flavor just hit me like Manny Pacquiao's left hook. Rosie was right. Had we had more time in this town, we surely would have returned for an encore performance. But alas, that would have to wait until we're in Vegas again.

Problem: This has been the very first time Yelp has failed me. There is no reason this restaurant merits anywhere close to a four star average. I seem to think that people around here wouldn't know good mexican if it hit them (bit them?). I tried it after it first reopened at its current Mill Ave location and the food was horrible. Very bland and kind of cold. I have since stayed away, but after reading some very good reviews here on Yelp I decided to go back. I had the enchilada, taco, beans and rice combo (pretty much your most basic mexican dish). The beans were more like beany water. The rice was beyond bland. The enchilada was like eating cardboard wrapped around cardboard flavored cheese. The taco was the best part with some sort of flavorful beef. The chips were alright but the salsa tasted like cayanne pepper & water. This place is just another disappointing restaurant on Mill Ave. The area must be cursed.

Problem: It called beforehand and spoke to Don and informed him that I had to 25.95 coupon. and I would be right in When I arrived I spoke to Don again and mentioned the coupon again and he told me to hold on to it until when he calls me in to pay. He called me in to talk to me and tell me what needed to be fixed on the car, basically the upsell and I am okay with that because I generally do my own work and don't pay 15.00 for an air filter I can get at target for 1/5 of their price but I do understand what they are doing. Again I tried to present the coupon and he told me to hold on to. When he was done he gave me the total and it was $40.04, far from the $25.95 I was expecting. When I questioned him his reply was " I asked you if you wanted Valvoline oil and you said yes" I don't remember him asking him but here is what they did to me and you need to watch out if you come in with a coupon. Even though he knew I had the coupon which stipulated it had to be Shell oil he deliberately asked me if I wanted Valvoline oil. If he had asked me, " the coupon is for Shell oil, would you prefer valvoline" then I would have had the option to choose, not be duped into accepting something that was not part of the coupon. This is how they got around honoring the coupon. Very unethical way to do business and I intend on reaching out to Jiffy Lube corporate and see what their answer is. This is the second time I used jiffy lube and both times have been a bad experience and looking at reviews, I guess I am not the only one who questions their practices. Obviously I won't be coming back here and I suggest you don't go there either.

Problem: I had fun, it's a beautiful place. The service was really good and I love buffet dining. Here's the thing. The food ranged from bad to just ok. I am there for the food. There are a couple reviews about this restaurant that exclaim that it's the best buffet ever. I should have really ignored them and focused on all the more critical reviews on this restaurant as they really rang true. Normally when the reviews are this mixed I stay far away. I don't know where to begin. How about the omelet station. It takes a tremendous amount of skill to make a good omelet on a flat top. It just isn't done this way. You have to spread out a lot of egg and quickly fold it onto itself to give it any depth. If you leave it flat, it's done before you can warm any ingredients or melt any cheese. I watched rubbery brown thin wrappers of egg surround cold and bland ingredients flow from a well meaning omelet station attendant. How could you? I didn't realize it until later but if you're looking for the french toast, it's hidden in back of the omelet station in a hotel pan. I never did find it until we were on our way out the door. The best 2 things about this brunch were the automatic donut machine and the bagels. Neither of which this place makes on their own. In fact, I noted quite a few things they don't actually prepare here at all. The meat carving station looked nice and I chose the Gobi Dessert of pork loins. It isn't 1950 and you don't have to cook pork within an inch of it's life anymore. There wasn't anyone in the kitchen today that knows how lean a cut this is and how if you're going to put it out on a carving station it should be cooked til slightly pink in the center. The desert station isn't worth my time to talk about. There isn't a real pastry chef there and the cookies were clearly out of a box. The chocolate cake tasted like Duncan Hines with the frosting that you get out of a can. Another sad and depressing effort here in the Burgh. Sigh.
