My husband and I go to this place mostly for the monday special which is a half chicken dinner now priced at 7.49. Â When it was 5.99 years ago, half of Sun City were lining up out the doors. Â Now I guess the place is just not as packed.
We decided to have a BURGER instead of the chicken. Â However, they have TWO parts to the burger section on the menu. Â 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. Â These have certain items such as bacon, bleu cheese, jaleponos etc. Â Â Â I just wanted a burger, medium rare with cheddar cheese and my husband just wanted it plain. Â We asked what does it come with and it has a choice of steak fries, potato salad, coleslaw etc. Â Â Â 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. Â It was also VERY dry tasting. Â Â
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. Â Â Then we saw we were charged 7.99 and 8.50. Â Â She said because it came with lettuce and tomato, we were charged extra. Â What a rip off! Â Burger bun just okay. Â 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 :) :)
Review Source:I may have grown just a bit too picky to fully appreciate the dive experience any longer. Â The Pub certainly has the dive feel to it - red vinyl booths have a few tears and are quite rump-sprung. Â The surly busser gave way to a very friendly, casual server.
I started with wings and they were great - just what I want with wings. Â I sampled their Pale Ale brew and it was delicious. Â The dining room wasn't very full, but there was quite a wait before our main course arrived: Smokehouse Burger for me. Â The burger itself was delicious, cooked properly, juicy and nice accompaniments....Except for the fries. Â The menu said "Seasoned Steak Fries", but they weren't even salted. Â And you know you have to salt the fries when they are fresh out of the fryer or it won't stick.
The burger bun was nice and fresh, but didn't hold up and by the two-thirds point started falling apart.
I would be happy to have the wings again, but the dining room was quite smoky. Â Even though the smoking was only allowed in the bar area, it is a small restaurant and they needed some ceiling fans or something. Â By the end of my meal I left smelling of smoke myself.
Ok... this is a great place to go for a full meal at extremely reasonable prices when you need a home-style meal. Very old school menu, steaks, mashed, fries, salad, green beans, fish & chips, etc, but it is all consistently good, including service (very friendly staff) and the steaks are really good. I had a shrimp and steak dinner and so did my dining companion, which was very tasty and neither of us could finish. Gets pretty crowed at 5pm for the silver-set diners, but otherwise pretty quiet and very low key. A sister restaurant to Ellis Island Casino, they still have the local $8.99 steak dinner minus the beer or root beer that is include at Ellis.
Review Source:I've been going to Village Pub locations since 2001, this is the closest one to me now, so I go here every now and again.
The food quality to price ratio is what bumps this joint up to five stars for me. If you want to compare this place to a fine steak house it might not fare so well, but when you can get a steak for under ten dollars that is just as good as Outback I think it's a score. The fish and chips are great and the best I have had in town by far (and I'm originally from Seattle). They come beer battered, crispy, and in a generous portion. Breakfast is great here too with lots of options.
Another thing I like is they have some lighter options on the menu if you're watching calories - not something you see too often at a pub/video poker place. They have some great salads for lunch and dinner, full meals with healthy side options, and egg white omelettes at breakfast time - and a lot of this stuff of under 10 bucks. Can't beat it.
As a bonus they have a selection of micro brews from Ellis Island Casino that are very good.
I've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and even for a late night meal on the graveyard shifts. The staff has always been good, friendly, and attentive. The best locals bar food for the price, and still great without factoring the price.
Wishing I could say something nice about eating here. I got the chicken teriyaki which had a slice of canned pinapple and some sauce over that. Vegitables seemed to have been cooked in a microwave, they were rubber. Only 1 1/2 servers for the place. Â They'll never have me darken their doorway.
Review Source:I saw someone's review that described this as an upscale dive - I think that's fitting.
I've never ordered anything here besides French Dip or a burger and I can say both are hearty and good. Â This is a great go to place if I'm craving some steak fries and some good old American burger. Â It's also cheap as hell for the amount of food you get.
For what it is, a neighborhood pub, it gets 5 stars; but it is a neighborhood pub and the food fits -- Had the chicken pot pie which is absolutely great. With that, I recommend it. I have had both breakfast and lunch there; both rank the same way. Worth a shot or two if you're in the neighborhood.
Review Source:You'd never know you were in a video poker bar, which the Village Pub essentially is. I'd describe the Village Pub as an upscale dive. I'm actually quite surprised by the menu of this little joint and their prices are pretty cheap.
I have only ever ordered breakfast here because they have an extensive menu ranging from omelets, skillets (my fave!), paninis, wraps, and traditional breakfasts: steak/ham and eggs, pancakes, chicken fried steak, corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy, French toast, eggs benedict - you name it, they got it!
Last week's visit included a breakfast burrito, which was HUGE! This bb was overloaded with eggs, bacon AND sausage, cheddar cheese (ahhhhh), big chunks of seasoned potatoes, onions, salsa and sour cream and was absolutely delicious! My friend ordered the ham and eggs and the ham covered the entire plate. It seriously was enough for 3 or 4 people.
I've even ordered oatmeal which comes loaded up with cranberries, brown sugar, pecans and milk.
Now the lunch and dinner menu offers everything from bar food (quesadillas, nachos, chili fries, potato skins, etc.) to more sophisticated plates that you wouldn't expect to find in a small bar including pot pie, orange roughy, fish and chips, salads, chicken cordon bleu, paninis, different salmon options, steak and shrimp, and ribeye steak platters. A friend of mine eats here regularly and he swears by their food.
Their specialty is burgers (and they'll substitute a turkey burger for you too!): Smokehouse, Yorky, Frisco, Southwest, Hawaiian, Texas and many more!
Oh and they do wraps too! Not a bad little place and your wallet won't even notice it.
And the best part - their kitchen is open 24/7! Hurray!!!! Great food for next to nothing!
Village Pub is a great place with excellent service!
We live right down the street, yet always manage to 'forget' this location and wind up going somewhere else. Â Then, after horrible service at other locations we end up back here. Â
We were visiting just this past Monday with Michael the bartender and his service is excellent! Â We never ran low on our drinks, managed to have great conversation as the music wasn't too loud, and there were no loud-mouth drunken fools like most of the other pubs around. Â
We have yet to eat in the dining area, yet everyone I speak to says the food is excellent with good pricing. Â
Thanks Village Pub, and Michael in particular!

I started going to The Village Pub when I was a kid and my parents and I lived in Desert Shores back around 1996. The dinning area is small and most of the time there is a long wait. Last time we went they only had 1 server and it was the dinner rush time. The food is decent bar food. They have nightly specials and are decently priced. They have the 6oz filet, that my husband always gets, for around $9. The bar can get smokey and loud at times. We usually go to The Pub when we cant think of anywhere else to eat.
Review Source:My parents took me here last weekend.
They started going to the Village Pub several months ago and have been telling me how great the food is and how reasonable the prices were, so I was looking forward to it.
I got the California Panini which had chicken, avocado, and Monterey jack. I got cottage cheese on the side. My food was okay but nothing to get excited about.
My mom had the turkey special, and my dad ordered the fried chicken special. They both had a cup of chicken noodle soup. They both really liked the soup but neither thought their entrees were as good as usual.
The downfall of the evening was the service. It was probably 15 minutes after we were seated before the waitress came over to take our order. It took even longer to get the food. The waitress pointed to people at another table who had been seated for a long time without being helped and told them, "I'll be awhile." This was by far the worst service I have received in a long time.
The food was okay and the prices were reasonable, but unless my parents are treating I'm not going back.
Village Pub Summerlin- I thought I was on Candid Camera with the array of lousy food and service. My family of four was seated at a small table that would have been comfortable for two, rather uncomfortable for a family of four. I did notice the couple behind us was seated at a four top. My son got  a squeezed lemon in his soda which he clealry didnt ask for. The waitress a heavy set red head was oblivious to the seating issues and later the food issues. I guess if she ever came came to check on us I would have told her that my sons burger was served without bacon ( which clealry he ordered) and was served with two bottom halves of the burger bun. I also would have told her that the busbot spilled water all over my slacks ,never apologized and never brought over anything to clean me the table or the booth. Upon leaving I asked for the manager another server( heavy set blonde woman) told me the manager was behind the bar when I went up to the guy she pointed to and asked him if he was the manager he said " No Im the bartender" when I asked if I could speak to the manger/supervisor he told me  there wasnt one, when I asked him who was in charge he told me" the girls". Hence if you leave your servers in charge of food quality and customer service chances are ther will be some issues. Perhaps becuase we had a coupon that guaranteed 18% gratuity our server didnt really see the need to do her job as she was already quaranteed her tip.  I sent an e mail to the location and told them  what a lousy experience I had,I guess they couldnt be bothered with e mailing me back. Needless to say we will not be asked and when asked I will most definently not recommend this place.
Review Source:It looks like the Village Pub is becoming the new go-to place for our standing Friday night dinner with two other couples. Â
It was busy, and we had to wait for a table, but it turned out to be just a few minutes. Â Our waitress, Linda, was very attentive and accommodating. Â All six of us were happy with our orders: Â skewered shrimp (change the rice pilaf to mashed? Â No problem!), orange roughy, top sirloin (with salad or soup, veggies, rice for 8.99 - such a bargain!), teriyaki chicken, chicken fried chicken, and wild Alaska coho salmon. Â
Good food at yesterday's prices. Â Reasonably-priced drink menu. Comfortable booths. Â Great, friendly service. Â Gaming and ashtrays at the huge bar. Â What more could anyone want?
Of course we'll be back.  Maybeeven  next Friday night.
Village Pub is great! Very friendly staff, tasty bar food and great variety for a good price! This location also has a lot of TVs so you can watch multiple games at once. We wanted to watch a hockey game and the bartender was very nice and searched every channel to find it.
Thumbs up to village pub!
Me: " We want steak, wussup?! Where the spot for locals??"
Friend that moved LV: "Oh I know a spot.with a nice view of the lake too... I'll take you guys!"
15 minute drive, and I see Lake Mead (which I assume is Lake Mead, cus we drove down Lake Mead Street). Â Looked pretty suburbs, but the trusty navi said "Please drive 600 feet, you destination will be on the right hand side"
First assumptions:
1. ghetto
2. umm ghetto pub
3. errr ghetto pub with video poker?!?
4. o hells to the no... ghetto pub with video poker and smoky as hell??
After getting over the initial shock of the "nice restaurant with a lake view", we were seated in a large booth (which I will admit was pretty comfy).
FYI: there was no such LAKE view at this place... we got played..
Yes, this place is a bit tacky diner red... but then I saw Prime Rib for $12.99.. and I was suddenly OK...
Since my other friend were ordering the Prime Rib, I decided to get something different. Â The South West Burger caught my eye: Angus burger, guac, jalapeno, pesto, pepperjack, and some other saucy thing I can't recall on a ciabatta. SOLD. Medium rare please!
When my burger came out, it was HUGE, and quite adorable wrapped in waxed paper made to look like newspaper. But whatever, I'm about the taste.
Took a HUGE bite of this bad boy, OMY was it good!!! I don't if it was cus I was SUPER hungry, or this burger was SUPER yummy! The meat was perfectly cooked at med rare (which most burger joint always OVERcook). Â
Juices were flowing, gauc all over my fingers, cheese on my face, and in 10 minutes ( I swear), it was gone.
I even made my friend try it, so I didn't feel crazy. Â She thought it was pretty darn juicy and yummy too. Â This was by far the BEST JUICY BURGER I had this year!! And for $6.99, shoooooot you can't go wrong!
O yea.. the prime rib was OK... but I sure was glad to have ordered my burger =)
We've been big fans of the Ellis Island Casino for years, and now we've found the Ellis' sister properties, The Village Pub.
The Village is tucked away in an almost hidden shopping center right near the Desert Shores clubhouse at the foot of the lake. It's pretty nondescript from the outside, but upon entering, you get that feeling you've gone back in time to the Vegas of the 60's. The furniture and the paint job are newer, but it still has that feeling that Ellis Island has had since its opening in 1969.
The menu is pretty much the same as Ellis in the restaurant. We had a $25 gift certificate from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a>, so we ordered the steak and shrimp. My wife had the garlic mashed and I had the fries. Everything was very tasty. And the beer on tap was from EIB (Ellis Island Brewery) and delicious. In fact, the beer is $1 at the restaurant for the rest of the month. We had dessert, (brownie sundae and apple strudel) which were both excellent. Service was excellent too.
The bar area has about 20 "in-table" video poker machines and that's it. But it's a great local place. Now I don't have to go all the way to Ellis Island to get the great $6.99 steak special!
This is a local chain w/ locations all over the valley. Only major drawback is the fact they are considered a casino, therefore smoking is allowed. You need to fight your way thru the bar area to get to the restaurant, therefore your drenched w/ smoke coming/going.
The food  and service is generally good. Price/quality is phenominal.Where can you get a good steak/salad/portato for 6.99 all the time. Menu is vast, you will definitely find something to your liking. Service is good, many of them have been doing it for years, they know their trade!! Give any of these restaturants a try you won't be disappointed.....
