Village Pub & Casino-Summerlin

My husband and I go to this place mostly for the monday special which is a half chicken dinner now priced at 7.49.   When it was 5.99 years ago, half of Sun City were lining up out the doors.   Now I guess the place is just not as packed.

We decided to have a BURGER instead of the chicken.   However, they have TWO parts to the burger section on the menu.   One is a Make your own additions to the burger each 50 cents for $5.99 and another section below for different prices which come from 7.99 and up.   These have certain items such as bacon, bleu cheese, jaleponos etc.      I just wanted a burger, medium rare with cheddar cheese and my husband just wanted it plain.   We asked what does it come with and it has a choice of steak fries, potato salad, coleslaw etc.      I failed to ask what also comes on the burger.

When we got the burgers, I looked for the cheese and found a small melted quarter size spot on the burger, lettuce and two slices of tomato and a pickle on the side.

The burger was slightly pink, I like it rarer, and was very thin although it was supposed to be 1/2 pound.   It was also VERY dry tasting.    

When we got the bill I asked the server, what happened to the cheese? She said she ordered it with cheese, but I couldn't even see 2 cents worth.    Then we saw we were charged 7.99 and 8.50.     She said because it came with lettuce and tomato, we were charged extra.   What a rip off!   Burger bun just okay.  will NEVER order a burger there again!

Wiggity Wiggity Wack that this place shares a car park with Marche Bacchus and Garfield's which are in a culinary galaxy light years away. Minus the tweaker at the bar and the lung choking smoke, it has pretty great pseudo dive atmo, but more...

My Mom & Dad like this place and before I dropped her home so I could camp on my cot next to Dad @ Mountainview Hospital, we stopped in. It is super dark and reaaallllllyyyyyy smoky, but I was able to catch the Knicks win from our old school red pleather booth in the back. Barkeep poured a strong drink. Our waitress was friendly and funny, at one point admonishing me for taking pictures of the food and not her.

In the food department, they have a large menu and daily specials board; like I said the Sun City crew goes b-a-n-a-n-a-s for the place. Choices range from all day breakfast (they are open 24/7) to burgers, steaks, pot pies, soup du jour and onion soup. Mom had a tuna salad sandwich (asking for a small portion of fries) and I had a really delicious apple, pecan and goat cheese salad with a ginormous grilled chicken breast atop (add on for just a few $) Easily had a second meal the next day. The best part? Prices = the above food  2 glasses of house Pinot Grigio for Mom & a vodka soda for me was $35 with tax + tip. WWWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTT?! Talk about reasonable!

So, I was super surprised to find gracious service, a healthy dish for me and this time warp Wayne Newton's home bar Circa 1978 next to the Desert Shores Beach Club. Mom knows best! Next time I will wear a Scot Pack, though...I've since been advised that Village Pub is a small local chain/franchise of sorts, so I'd imagine you'd find each to be simililar.

Favorite place to go when coming to Vegas. This pub is filled with locals and great service. I love the food they have and the drinks are always good!! This Friday was the first time where a rude customer ruined our night there. He was extremely disrespectful to those around him and to the bartenders. Luckily the two men who were working respectfully handled the situation and had him leave . All the customers were laughing when the drunk a**hole finally left after threatening the bartender. Won't let one customer ruin it! Great spot to gamble, drink and hang out. If you ever want to get away from the strip but still enjoy A nice drink ... Come here :). I remember one bartenders name, Raul, and he continuesly made sure my drinks had refills :) :)
