Lakes Lounge

Love this place! Had power wrap. Also love steak special. Coming here for a long time. Also love burgers, pot pie. Especially love pot roast special.

Lakes has been our go to for years. They are a smaller restaurant, and the wait can be brutal at times, but the food and service are worth it. Fish & chips, nightly specials, breakfast burrito & of course steak & eggs are all amazing! We’ve tried almost everything on the menu. Love this little spot!

I had dinner with my friend from out. Of town and we had a fabulous meal again. Tonight. I go here often. I so enjoy it plus they were waiting for tables. One of the best places in Vegas. Never have had a bad meal ever.

The place suits its name. Restaurant on one side classic NV video poker bar on the other. The menu is simple and has all the crowd favorites like burgers, a ruben, fish n chips, steak and eggs. I got the steak and eggs and it was cooked to my order and came out piping hot, servers were nice but did not hover.

The best place in town. Very homey great feeling. Everything I’ve tried on menu is incredible! Great service even better food!

My friend and I headed over to our favorite neighborhood place and decided to splurge on the Prime Rib special last Friday. Wow! What a delicious piece of meat. Tender, juicy and tasty. Huge piece. Had to take some home. Green beans cooked perfectly. Mashed potatoes were a little gummy but tasted good. The clam chowder that came with it was the best I ever had. Chunks of real potatoes and loaded with clams. I wish I knew how to add pics so I can show the generous portions. We each spent $ 20 bucks including tip. Well worth it. Funny, when roaming around in the market looking for dinner and I see how expensive prepared dinners are my thoughts turn to this nice, cozy place and how much more you receive for the same price.

I have been eating at Lakes Lounge for 10+ years on a quite frequent occasion. Within the past 6 months or so I noticed they have a new GM and I have noticed that the servings are getting smaller and smaller. Tonight was the fish and chips and though it is reasonably priced the size was almost funny small for fish and chips. I love the people and the food here but if this is what a new GM does to a GREAT business maybe he’s not the right guy for the job. Not always about the $ but sometimes it’s about having a great little hideaway locals joint.

The food here was just average. We ordered the fried chicken, fish tacos, prime dip Philly style and fried calamari. It wasn’t bad, but just not that great; again just average.
The fried chicken batter wasn’t very good and was too oily and the meat was a bit dry, especially the white meat. The coleslaw side was pretty good but the portion way too small for 4 pieces of chicken.
The prime dip was pretty good but the meat portion was neither big nor small; sort of on the unsatisfying side though. The fries it came with were the giant cut, out of a plastic bag variety.
The fish tacos were nicely presented but bland as sliced bread. The side of salsa it came with was paltry and barely enough for one taco.
The calamari was good but maybe because it was the appetizer and we were all hungry, and the portion seemed fair. The marinara was typical but the pesto sauce was salty.
For $ 40 including the tip, you can’t complain too much about the price. But, our server was lukewarm, the ambiance funeral home quiet, and at the hour we went, 6pm, it was mostly elderly folks.
There’s a lot out there where 40 bucks can buy 3 people a very tasty meal in a lively if not interesting setting. At Lakes Lounge, the most interesting thing were the Sunday night football games on the multiple flat-​screens and the locals hanging out at the bar playing video poker.
Unless you like a serving of suburban Vegas boredom cum mild depression with your average American meal, you can skip this place.

Lakes Lounge is entirely clutch.
Whenever you can’t decide on somewhere to go, Lakes Lounge has your back.
They have so many different options that you can always find something here that you want!
The food is great, the atmosphere is nice, and the price is right.

This a little whole in the wall. I was debating the 5 star with this place because its not like its the taj mahal… however the food is solid and the prices are very fair. They are also open ²⁴⁄₇. I like the convenience and the close proximity to my house. so far i havent gotten a bad meal… its also a nice choice from whatever is open at 2 am… in fact i dont think there is much else open at that time

Their Chicken strips were awesome (The batter on the chicken was so tasty). Their Cheeseburgers are grilled to perfection. We liked the cheese quesadilla a lot too. I like this eatery for it’s comfortable booths and great food. There’s nothing fancy about this place but it’s very comfortable. There is a gaming bar next door that you can see through a glass separation and there are lots of TVs around to fix your gaze.
Tip: If you’re lactose shy, don’t get the Pot Pie… it’s very creamy. Also, this place gets super packed around 5 and on weekends. If you can, stop by on the off peak hours for the best experience.
This place is a winner, we will be back!

This is a well hidden restaurant in the Lakes. I have been to this restaurant several times. It has a restaurant and bar entrance. The food is ok — nothing special. I enjoy their fish and chips and sweet potato tater tots. But, even this food favorite has resulted in inconsistent cooking results. Sometimes it is crispy and sometimes it is a little on the soggy side.
The Lounge runs some great daily specials, but I find that their food is generally oozing with butter and various other oils.
The service is spotty.

The price is right! This is an amazing hole in the wall restaurant and bar. My family and I have been going here since we moved to Las Vegas over 10 years ago. Their menu is great because it isn’t just bar food. They have a wide variety of selections and everything is priced extremely well! Every night of the week they have a different special as well. Prime Rib on Fridays and Saturdays. This place is worth a try!
And you have to order their steak sandwhich. $ 6.99 and its an actual steak (NY Strip) on bread with fried onions. You can’t beat it.

Very, very good food at very reasonable prices. Tucked away just slightly off the beaten path, it’s a cool little spot that it seems like a lot of people that live right near it love it. possibly not a lot of people around the valley though. I got the fish and chips, it was amazing. My friend got the steak sandwich special, she said it was also very good. The service was polite and quick, but not at all rushed. Overall great experience.
I should add there is also a whole bar section that I did not go to, but the specials looked good and it seemed pretty nice as well.

Came here because of all the good reviews. Where to begin? We come in and wait to be seated. A lady asks how many in the party and then points across the room and says, «sit there in front of the TV» ok. I’m thinking, that’s kind of rude, but the food must be amazing, so whatever. I order the steak and eggs and my bf orders the prime rib dip with sweet tater tots. Our server comes and takes our order. He was the most pleasant one, which is why this visit was decent.
The food comes out and looks great! Boy, does looks look deceiving. First, my steak was asked to be rare and it came out well done plus more. It was so tough, I could barely eat it. My bf said his dip wasn’t good either. He said the meat wasn’t good at all. I was so hungry that I ate my steak drenched in a-​1 sauce because it was so tough. I never ate such disappointing food like this and tough steak in my life. The service was slow and they forgot to bring out the rest of our food, so I had to remind them half way through my food. Really disappointed in the food. Felt bad for the server, he was super nice and felt bad to even complain to him because he was so nice.

Is this a dive bar? I don’t know, maybe! What’s really nice about this tasty little spot tucked in the Lakes is that the restaurant is nicely separated from the bar. Why is this a HUGE plus? Well if you don’t want to smell like an ash tray when you leave you will like this restaurant/​bar!
They have video poker machines at the bar portion and really friendly bartenders. They pour great drinks that taste good. They don’t over pour on the booze so your dink actually is enjoyable. Nothing I hate more than when a bartender is trying to be all nice and he/​she pours so much alcohol in your glass you can’t enjoy it with out that «bitter beer face» or in my case, bitter vodka face!
We ordered some food and well… the waitress, doing her job I am sure would not make any changes to the menu. Ok I can me a pain and ask for weird crap but really? You offer chips and salsa but can’t make nachos? I was told I would have to pay for everything individually. Ugh, really?! Well I ordered the chips and salsa and a small bowl of chili with cheese. I dumped it on those crispy chips and poof! I had nachos. Stupid rule if you ask me but I am sure there must be some brilliant reason as to why they can’t make the nachos for me in their KITCHEN!
My meal was good. We also ordered a chef salad. It tasted as though it had been previously prepared and sat in the fridge in advance. It was so cold (weird but if your a salad eater you will understand). It had the flavor of a freezer… meh!
All in all I like this place and we will be back! It is close to home after all.

Inexpensive and open 24 hours! $ 6 bucks for a steak sandwich, not a Philly cheese steak, but an actual slice of steak w/​fried onions on a roll. I inhaled two of them :) Sweet potato tots were great!
Famous for their chicken pot pies which I thought were too greasy, but they are a top seller. There is a nightly special on the menu, which I learned sometimes sells out by 8pm sometimes. Guess the dining crowd arrives somewhat early for dinners.
The bar was filled with coughing smokers separated by a large glass window from us dining patrons. Many TVs in the bar! Small place where conversation should be kept at a low volume, otherwise prepare for everybody to know what you are speaking about. I guess I spoke loudly about the challenges of parenting and was offered unsolicited advice from a friendly little old lady :)
The service was friendly and attentive! Loved the rustic feel inside and outside this restaurant/​bar. Overall, one can’t beat the price, food selection, friendly service nor cozy atmosphere for The Lakes area!

The in-​laws discovered this place a few years ago. Back then, it really was a «hidden gem.» Although the entire plaza has always looked old and ghetto. The food wasn’t outstanding, but it was good enough and you had no reason to complain about the prices. Sadly over the years and more recently, I feel like the quality of their food has gone downhill.
I have ordered a variety of food here, but nothing really stands out. The fried shrimp has never let me down. But then again, fried shrimp pretty much tastes the same everywhere. I do like the sweet potato tots and they do give you a generous portion of them. The clam chowder that I had once was tasty and my husband said that the fish and chips was good here. Some of the things I didn’t like was the chicken parmesan, which was very bland and the grilled wild salmon. The salmon was alright, but the rice pilaf was horrible and the mixed veggies were dry.
Service is usually friendly and attentive, although there were a few times that we waited long to be seated and to order. In my experience, both the service and food are bad on Friday nights. They have a bar side which is open 24 hours, and the dining room side which is open daily from 7am to 9pm.
So the Lakes Lounge is definitely affordable and gives you big portions, but they need to work on the quality and taste of their food. I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. Honestly, you will be better off going to Denny’s and ordering from their $ 2, $ 4, $ 6, $ 8 value menu!

Who knew this place was so popular? From the outside, this lakeside shanty-​looking building looks like it should be condemned. But step inside and you’ll see a well decorated interior with stone and glass, comfortable booths, large TVs, and plenty of folks who seem to be regulars.
On the menu are plenty of comfort food items like chicken pot pie ($ 8.99) and fried chicken ($ 7.99). With its flaky, golden crust covering a velvety smooth cream sauce with plenty of vegetables and chicken, the pot pie instantly brought back fond childhood memories of eating the dish. Almost as good was the fried chicken dish consisting of half a chicken, each piece hand breaded and fried into a course, well seasoned crust. If you want something healthier, try the Lakes chicken ($ 10.99). Sauteed in lemon, white wine and butter, it’s served with a vegetable medley and rice pilaf.
Located in the Lakes, steps away from Those Guys Pies, this is one place the regulars are probably hoping won’t be discovered. Reasonable prices, large portions, and above average food provide plenty of bang for your buck and a reason to return.

Unilocal 365 CHALLENGE 2014−(134÷365) «Secret Spot in Summerlin»
Had no idea this place existed?! A 24 hour late night grub spot by Desert Shores/​The Lakes??? Thanks to Unilocal,there is much more to be discovered after living here since 2004.
So just like Kilroy’s down in Chinatown, they have a «buzz-​in» entrance which makes you feel like you’re entering some kinda speakeasy joint, but when you step inside, its filled with locals just having a good ‘ol time and chatting it up with the staff.
Now if you come here with health in mind, your pickings on the menu may be very slim to none.
Went with a Burger (forgot the name) medium rare with sweet potato tots, and wifey ordered a French Dip (I think). Portions here are pretty hefty, but the downfall here is the ability to nail the temperatures for meat. We both requested medium rare and we both got medium to medium well. Maybe I’ll order it rare the next time, if there is a next time? We shall see… ALOHA!!!

*Great service and huge portions, but don’t expect restaurant style food
