ok, so I've spent a little more time here with the help of the owner, Jason... who is very helpful AND very responsive to social media. Â I'm starting to have better luck with the gambling, having hit 4 fours and 4 threes the other day and of course, the service is always friendly. Â Now I'm discovering their tasty food specials... probably the best hidden secret in the SW. Â I had prime rib this time...
Review Source:Unfortunately they no longer accept <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> certificates.
And their decision was extremely abrupt. Which is their right, of course. But it sorta leaves a bunch of <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> vouchers assed out. (We still have not received word from restaurant that we should switch all our vouchers to so other business -- but that is entirely a different matter.)
Sagos Burger is still one of the best burgers at a pub/bar in Summerlin. - E
Went back again after receiving a message from the so-called owner; saying he doesn't know this happened but yet again same old sh@# just a different day. The food was under cook and can u believe some chick jumped in on the bartenders shift claiming all the tips haven't seem her in two hours but took the money in front of me? Wtf... Who's this??? I'm gaming spent 200! And drank four drinks and only got comped 2?? Wtf tired of giving second chances! Never again
Review Source:We went back in last night after corresponding a bit with the owner, Jason. Â He graciously comped us two entrees so we could see that the staff had been talked with about our experience. Â We were very happy that Nicole waited on us. Â Have always had good service from her in the past but last night she was better than ever! Â And this was without me pulling out the e-mail comping the two entrees until it was time to settle the check. Â Normally their dinner special isn't ready till about 6 pm (esp on Monday's when it's prime rib!) but after seeing my reaction she took it upon herself to see if it was ready...now that's a good waitress! Â There's only one thing I'd change...some fresh horseradish would've made the meal a 10! Â Food was great, service was great and we will definitely be back!
Review Source:The management and waitstaff here have really impressed me. I don't say that very often but right now I'm impressed. Very few places in Vegas ever truly treat their customers like royalty like Sago's (pronounced SAY-goes). These are people who really care about us and treat you like family. They're good people.
This is a great place to watch sports. They have this ENORMOUS 170" HD TV and plenty of room in the dining area for a very, very large party. I should know, I have brought my Bears group here on many Sundays and we packed the place. I would call this place an "unofficial Bears bar" because after another Chicago themed establishment down the street went out of business last fall, a lot of Bears fans have been going here.
The decor is not sports-themed, however. It doesn't need to be, either. (well I wouldn't mind seeing a Bears banner on the wall one day... just sayin'). It has a very cool tropical tiki bar theme, with palm trees and tiki huts. The service has improved a lot in the last 6 months. Their server Nikki is always a real pleasant, professional and fast waitress, my group really likes her. They just hired a new girl Gia and she is excellent as well.
During football season I bring in a big group (20-30 people). The owner Jason always makes sure they reserve plenty of tables for my group & that we are accommodated. They even give me a microphone for calling out the raffle numbers mwaaa haaa haaaaaaa!! I have a microphone and you don't!!! ;) Â
We had a little Super Bowl XX (that's right, 1986) viewing party yesterday and they not only put the game on the big screen, they even played the Super Bowl Shuffle video a couple times for us. These guys really went out of their way to make this a fun day for us and that is a reason for me to continue coming here.
Did I mention the free touchdown shots every time the Bears score?? Awesome.
I haven't even started talking about the food yet! Fellow Yelper Shana W. has it spot-on with regards to the nachos. I am the nacho queen, and am very serious about my nachos. Their nachos are out of this world. Fresh and very HOT jalapenos, shredded and nacho cheese sauce, black beans, pico de gallo and that chipotle cream sauce!! HOLY COW I want to go back and get some now. Whoever invented this creation is a nacho genius, don't change one thing with the nachos please!!
I ordered fries with nacho sauce yesterday and it was very yummy. I inhaled it in 5 minutes. Fish tacos are good as well. I've tried other appetizers on the menu but those items are my fav. The only thing I wish they had was Chicago style pizza. Some of my friends also commented they wished they made Chicago style hot dogs here.
They also throw a heck of a New Years Eve party - $50 guys, $20 ladies gets you open bar for 4 hours, free limo rides home and all.
Be sure to give this place a try - the outside doesn't look like anything but a gaming bar, but it is much better than you might think. And they're just super nice people. I like supporting a local business when they treat you so well. DAAA BEARS
Oh, Sago's, I love you again! Â Our first experience was sweet: Â we rode our bikes in search of the delicious nachos we read about on Yelp and were delighted to meet one of the owners (Pam) outside, who told us we could bring our bikes inside for safety. Â Inside, we met the beautiful and uber-friendly Cindy, who lit up our Sunday and set in motion our Nacho dreams.
This was the beginning of a never-ending rapport between us and Sago's. Â And yes, it IS Say-go's, not Sah-go's.
The nachos are better than you could ever imagine: piles of crisp (not crunchy) chips layered with black beans, FRESH (not pickled) jalapenos, both nacho and cheddar cheese, pico, and the best part of all, chipotle cream sauce. Â You have the option of carne asada---which my man says is superb--or chicken. Â Of course, we get the meat on the side for my vegetarian wishes and everyone is happy:)
We haven't had much else as we are totally addicted to this chipotle-laden delight and usually go when this particular craving strikes.
The staff here is better than any other local bar I know of. Â No matter which shift we have come in on, we always receive superior service. Â The bartenders seem to appreciate their jobs and their customers while striving to make you a regular.
Other perks: Â Good ventilation, super-clean bathrooms, a few video games (please, oh, please, fix the Texas Hold em' tournament game) and great perks for gamers. Â From 4-7 everyday they have half-price appetizers and all sorts of happy-hour/football/late-night specials. Â Sago'ss also has Angry Orchard on tap (my fav. cider) as well as a more-than-ample liquor selection.
This is 3.5 for me. Â Things got off to a great start. Â Love the way the bar is decorated because I felt like I was on an episode of Gilligan's Island. Â The booths are covered in little tiki huts and very comfy -- a must if you plan on staying for the length of a game. Â The service was fast and friendly. Â Then the smoke set in. Â Get mad all you want smokers, but I firmly believe you should be forced to smoke outside or shamed into quitting. Â I don't care what you do to yourself, but I have never smoked. Â That is MY right and I will not be made to marinate in a smoky haze while trying to enjoy a beer and some nachos. Â I already have to endure a smoke-filled office during the day (thanks boss), and I refuse to deal with the same on my off time. Â
Now that I am off my soap box, if not for the smoke, I would be a constant here. Â The food was better than average for bar food, happy hour prices are very cheap, the girls who work here are very pretty and most guys dig that. Â The food standouts were the crazy big nachos (although next time I would get the cheese sauce on the side because it was overwhelming) and the chicken tenders. Â I think single guys would enjoy this place for the eye candy and single girls would enjoy this place for the dating opportunities. Â Tons of big screens so you won't need to worry about missing the game. Â Sadly, I will probably stay with BWW since it is smoke-free, but if you do not have the same concerns, I highy recommend this place.
Kind of cheesy decor inside, but the friendly staff and drink specials more than make up for it. We came here to watch a Chicago Bears game and were pumped to see Bears fans everywhere. The game was placed on big projection screen along with a tv on each side of the main bar where we sat. If you are looking for a place to watch the game off the strip, this is the place!
Review Source:It's our first visit to Sagos and the first thing we see is a bunch of goofballs dressed up like it's Halloween - a "Wig Party," we were told. We came to eat, but they took over the whole dining room, so it was the bar for us. Â I didn't mind, except that there were only a few [high] tables and the chairs weren't high enough for short little me.
I'd glanced at the Yelp reviews before we left for the restaurant, and couldn't wait to see the "gorgeous bartenders," as visions of Chippendale's danced in my brain. Â Unfortunately, I didn't notice that the reviews were written by men, and the "gorgeous bartenders were women!! Â Oh, well. Â For the record, they were indeed gorgeous, just not my type.
The menu's kind of limited - lots of appetizers, a few burgers and sandwiches, and only a few main courses. Â Hubby ordered Skewered Chicken with Pineapple, and I had Shrimp Fajitas. Â He was looking for his pineapple all through the meal, and waited until he was nearly done to ask about it. Â Turns out it was a pineapple sauce, not the chunks he was expecting, but there wasn't much sauce. Â He liked it anyway, but he's never met a chicken he didn't like; the man practically clucks.
My fajitas were terrific - I didn't count the shrimp, but there were a lot, together with mounds of onions and red pepper. Â I was glad there was no green pepper, since I'm not a big lover of the green kind. Â There were two things missing, and one was a big plus: Â it was the rare meal that wasn't oversalted. Â Big thumbs up for that! Â The missing ingredient was some guacamole, and the dish definitely cried out for some of that. Â
Despite the craziness of the partygoers in the dining room, who made their way over to the bar way too often, and the crowds of people assembled at the bar by the time we were ready to leave, the service was excellent. Â The waitress apologized for being slow due to the unexpected crowd, but we thought she was just fine. Â And my husband sure didn't mind having to stay longer and surreptitiously gawk at her (I didn't really blame him!).
We definitely enjoyed Sagos, and we'll be back. Â And the party: Â it was a Meet-Up.
This tropical themed bar has a great, friendly atmosphere, pretty girls serving good reasonably priced drinks, and the food is really good too. I'm a huge fan of the nachos which are layered and generously plated. The carne asasa is so good on them that I have yet to try anything else.
The only minor setback for me as a non smoker is the fact that smoking is allowed in all areas of the bar. It can get pretty smoky in there depending on the crowd. Overall its a nice place and a good time
Came by here last night and it was pretty cool. The place had a small crowd. Music was playing and TV's were on. We had margaritas' and fish taco's. Both were good. The salsa on the taco was a touch too much for me. Next time I'd get on the side. Actually, next time I'll try the nacho's. They are supposed to be good too. The bartenders were really nice and attentive. Waitress was also very attentive and nice. It was weird though, that if you sit at the bar and order food, you get 2 separate checks. I'll check it out again I'm sure.
Review Source:HUGE TV's
Great for watching sports. And I must say the FOOD is exceptional especially for bar food. I can't stay away from the grilled fish tacos.
If you gamble the comp your drinks and if you gamble enough they'll comp your food.
Definitely a locals place, definitely a neighborhood bar, and def beach clothes casual.
I also think they are open all night or damn near close to it.
So we went back and like we say on our show "always give a place a second chance".
Before we reviewed this joint on episode 71 we had to go back and wow we had a waaaaay better experience than our first visit. As with many places, you go on an off day and you have an off time. Our full review is up and I have to ad a star.
The girls are still smoking hot but this time they were on their game. We recommend the nachos. Oh and they have Wi-Fi, we'd go again whenever we are in the area.
At full price I don't think I'd eat here - but I had a Groupon. During happy hour, appetizers are half off - and that helps too. This restaurant isn't acutely bad, it just misses the mark.
Ordered the strangest nachos I've ever had, topped with shredded cheese, Cheez Whiz and this strange chipotle sauce (maybe a sour cream base?) that rendered most of the chips a sloppy, soggy mess.
Also ordered a grilled chicken Caesar. That was disappointing - the chicken breast was bland and the dressing was almost nonexistent.
If a bar offers match play, we're there. Â The reviews certainly didn't hurt the place either. Â They had a "text and receive $20 match play" but they informed us it took 24 hours to put it on a player's card so we would get it the next time we came. Â That's a lock for repeat business. Â
We also had a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> coupon but it wasn't necessary during happy hour since all drinks were $2 and appetizers were half off. Â Everything is full price if you use the coupon. Â We ended up ordering chicken fingers, chicken fajitas and the carne asada tacos. Â Everything was just OK. Â I didn't really like the tacos since the salsa was already put on them and the beef was kinda cold.
Wednesday night was insane. Â All the regulars were there for the video poker drawings they do so if you're planning to play, avoid Wednesday between 5pm and 8:30pm. Â You will not get a seat at the bar. Â The staff was friendly and attentive. Â
Went back again last week on a Tuesday to redeem the free play and got a plate of the carne asada nachos which were better than what we ate before. Â All the patrons sure love their slots and everyone knows everyone else for the most part. Â The restaurant area was dead both times but I imagine it would be packed for certain sports events since the TV's are decent. Â The football deals sound sweet so maybe we'll try that in the fall. Â
They also just sent us another $20 match play in the mail along with a bogo entree coupon for signing up for their slot club. Â I guess we're going back!
We don't really drink, and bars are not our normal dining out picks - so us going here was a bit out of our norm.
I wanted fish tacos and the reviews on here drew me in. We braved the potential noise and smoke so I could have fish tacos  (my boyfriend is the best!)
We sat in the dining room (all alone) and the waitress/bartender seemed confused as why we didn't want to sit in the bar area and a little put out, but we didn't dwell on it.
Well...in addition to the fish tacos (the menu said it came with only 2) we decided to get Carne Asada Nachos.
I barely remember the tacos.
The nachos stole the show. Wiped everything else about the place out of my memory.
Carne Asada, a spicy chipotle sauce, regular shredded cheese AND a nacho type cheese sauce. Â All on one plate. Â There were beans on the bottom, and some chips to work as cheese vessels into my mouth. I am normally not huge on verbal praise when eating out, as I am pretty shy. Â The guy who brought out our food, was clearly the cook, so I was gushing over my nachos to him when he came to take the plate back.
Since I went for fish tacos, I should review them too  ;)
I was unaware they weren't fried fish tacos, which is what I prefer and really only order.
They were good, but I missed the crunch of fried. Â There was also a lot of cilantro and onions, and even with scraping it off, I couldn't get the cilantro taste off.
- Â
On another note, they don't have lemonade.  Which I find sad  :(
----
On another another note....
We went back a week later, because I was still unable to get carne asada nachos out of my head. Â They were still delicious, but had been made by someone else, somehow they were not nearly as good. Â i would get them a 4/5 on my second visit. Â But the first visit, the nachos were a 10/5, so they are still great. Â No idea who the master nacho maker is, but you want him to make them!
found this place on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> and have been there five times in the past 3 months. Â
stopped in three times for their MNF special, sitting in the restaurant side. Â Stacia broke it down well. Â $10 for girls is a STEAL!!! Â $25 for guys is also a really good deal. Â i really like the hotiyaki (sp?) wings. Â the servers never let our drinks get empty and made sure we had food when we wanted it. Â very friendly and attentive. Â and i always won something in the raffle! Â ok, they have quite a few items and not a million people with tickets, so my odds were good. :)
the other times we just was at the bar and ordered food. Â the nachos were a hit. Â service again was great and very friendly.
i wish i lived within staggering distance of Sagos! good food with great prices, Â atmosphere and service!
I stopped in here to sample their menu at lunchtime--mostly because they had a Groupon Now! promo, and also because I've passed this place quite a few times while driving around--and was surprised to find this place.
The place doesn't look that spacious on the outside, but when you walk in, there's a bar area complete with tvs, as well as another room where there are projection screens and even more tables. Â The tv setup at the bar has 3 flat screens on one side, and 3 flat screens on the other side. Â In the other area with tables and projection screens, there are three flat screens framing each side of one o the projection screens, so that there are 6 tvs framing a single screen. Â
After looking around, I ended up sitting in the bar area, since that's where all of the patrons were hanging out. Â I debated about sitting at a table, but realized that I'd probably get faster service by sitting at the bar. Â It seemed to be a pretty happening place for lunchtime--roughly 12 people and one friendly bartender. Â The majority of the patrons were playing on the video poker/blackjack machines, drinking, smoking, or watching tv, while there was only one other person eating something.
It took me a few minutes to figure out what to get, but I finally decided to go with the fish tacos. Â They were three tiny ones, made of cod, with a salsa and other sauce drizzled on top, sitting on a bed of greens and flour tortillas. Â Pretty tasty and the sauce wasn't too overpowering and they seemed to put just the right amount on the tacos. Â Next time, though, I'm gonna have to get the steak or ceviche...decisions, decisions. Â To be honest, for the prices that they offered and the selection/variety (given the type of establishment), I was pretty impressed.
I've yet to find a place that bears any resemblance to Cheers ("where everybody knows your name"), and this place seems to be it. Â I think that I was one of two people that the bartender didn't know on a first-name basis. Â There are quite a few regulars that come here, and I must say that if I find myself in the area again, I'm definitely willing to try out more of their menu. Â
The only reason that I had to deduct a star was due to the service. Â I would have given this place 3.5 stars, but unfortunately can't give a 1/2 star, so I rounded up. Â Yes, I realize that I didn't walk into a restaurant (it's a bar/pub), but then again I do appreciate good service--not being ignored and attentiveness.
Nice work girls (and guys), the service behind the bar is truly first rate. I truly can't say enough about the service, everyone is friendly and prompt; they are on their game.
I've had the Tacos, which were really good and the Ceveche (sp.) which was just ok for me, but I'm no authority on it either, so take that into consideration...
Overall the place is clean and inviting, the new machines are a nice touch too...
Check it out and tell me I'm wrong about the service.
Had lunch with my brother today. Â He had steak and eggs and I had the chicken fajitas with a side of fries. Â My brother really enjoyed the steak and I loved the fajitas plus the fries were really good. Â Our server was very sweet and nice and never had to wait for service.
The only reason that they did not receive a 5 was the crappy Direc TV they had for college football viewing. Â If they could get Cox TV then it is an easy 5 stars.
Other than the TV, great place to eat with great food.
After reading these great reviews, we expected a LOT more...
It took almost 10 minutes for our server to greet us and take our drink order. While this isn't a complete dealbreaker, it wasn't a great first impression! Then we sat for (I kid you not) 45 minutes for our food to arrive! We ordered two simple sandwiches that couldn't have taken more than 10 minutes to prepare. When I asked the waitress if our food was arriving shortly, she breezily explained "oh there's a problem with the computers so they're really backed up!" Ok fine. But I've work in a restaurant before and this should have been told to us a lot sooner. Also, some chips and salsa or something would have been thoughtful to hold us over until our food arrived.
When the sandwiches came (the chicken sandwich and the BLTA), they were alright but after waiting so long, I was really hoping they'd be piping hot and the best sandwiches ever! We ordered our dessert (the churros) as soon as the sandwiches arrived so that we wouldn't have to wait as long for those. Guess what- we still waited 10 minutes for them after our food was cleared away. And they were overcooked. Then another 10 for the check which was incorrect (overcharged by $7.00) and at this point I'd had enough! What was supposed to be a 45 minute meal turned into a hour and a half ordeal! I asked to speak to a manager and 5 minutes later a girl bounced up to the table and said "Well I'm not a manager, but what can I help you with?" We explained the whole meal and how disppointed we were. She was very apologetic and empathetic but explained there was no manager there that night, and she had no power to give us anything or take anything off our bill. That's not what we were looking for- instead we wanted her to know that we were dissatisfied and were letting them know they should improve. She was gracious and said she hoped we come back...
Needless to say, we will NOT be back!
A new benchmark has been set for pubs in Las Vegas.
In my initial review, I praised the amazing service and exceptionally friendly atmosphere of this hidden little gem on the western edge of town, but I also mentioned that the food was nothing to get excited about.
Well that has all changed with Sagos new menu. I have two words - GREAT JOB!
Moving the menu closer to the restaurants Baja theme, management has introduced a completely new menu filled with some great selections like fish and shrimp tacos, homemade pizza, a delicious chicken avocado sandwich, a new twist on the BLT with a tomato jelly that rocks and much more.
If you go, and you will, you have to try the Ceviche - cradled in what looked like a sea-shell shaped crisp flour tortilla, the taste is fabulous and the serving size to price ratio will fill you up but still make you want to order another.
Way to go Sagos, you guys have hit all the marks now - great food, great service, great atmosphere. I'll be there - soon.
Excellent service everyone makes it a point to make sure you are taken care of. The owners are always involved day and night. All and all is a well oiled machine. Gambler's bonus is a plus here and they do extra promotions on the side of their normal gamblers bonus here.
People this is the perfect place to get your "Norm" on (play on cheers t.v. series). All joking aside, great music, atmosphere, food and service. I have lived in Las Vegas going on 12 years and have allegedly visited almost every nook and crany in the Valley. Far East to far West at least. This has to be the best spot I have found and actually enjoy my time off here.
Congrats to the bar and grill staff for showing such precedence. Just remember to pronounce the place correctly (say goes) and you'll fit right in. I believe it's been named after the wonderful everlasting sago palm also know as a wonderful house plant (cycads). Some people classify it is a cactus.
Have good times at Sagos Bar and Grill! Enjoy!!

I've been meaning to write this review from the moment I walked in that bar a few years ago...I was new to the south west area of town and generally I don't go into a bar unless I know someone that works there...I heard a thing or two about "Sago's" (it's said "SAY-GOES", for the record) from a few coworkers and figured I'd check the place out.
I pulled into the very easily accessible parking lot, walked inside and grabbed a seat. I had never been there before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
I walked in, grabbed a seat in the middle of the bar, and within a minute of me sitting down, one of the bartenders came over and greeted me right away, she introduced herself as Heather, and took my drink order. I put a $20 into the machine, and she then began telling me about all their wonderful gaming promotions they had going on. Generally, in Vegas, I've found that if you walk into a bar for the first time and aren't a regular, or aren't with a regular, you get the cold shoulder. That was not the case at all with Sagos.
I was about halfway done with my first cocktail, and Heather asked if I wanted another one, then presented me with a food menu if I was hungry. I'll get into the menu and great food in a bit. The bar was pretty steady, and they had two bartenders on. I personally loved that because it seemed as though everyone was taken care of. As I was looking over the menu, the male bartender, came over, introduced himself as Aaron, and asked to take my food order.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat...there is so much on the menu, wings, fingers, fries, quesadilla's, nachos, salads...tacos, burgers...pasta...sandwiches, wraps...so much to choose from...Aaron threw out a couple of suggestions, then I finally decided to order the "Western Bacon Chipotle Cheese Burger" He let me know the food is made to order, so it'd be about a 10-12 minute wait. He refilled my drink and wished me a little luck on my 4 card keno....before I knew it, the food was out and I was eating the best burger ever. Seriously...it's my absolute favorite.
The burger was amazing...thick burger, with cheese, topped with a giant onion ring and Chipotle BBQ sauce....
Both Aaron and Heather came around a few times to refill my drink, make sure I was doing ok with the food and everything else. Things couldn't have been better....after a bit, it was time for me to venture home.
Aaron and Heather did an excellent job of making me feel at home and just like a regular. Needless to say, I made Sago's the only bar I ever set foot into for the entire time I lived in the south west. I've since moved to Henderson, and seldom stop into Sago's, however when I do show up there, the service is as great as it was the first time I stopped in there.
If you're looking for a place to go in the south west area of town, Sago's is definitely the spot.
