Top of Binion’s Steakhouse

Dinner celebration after our Renewal of Vows, the hubbster and our guests headed up the glass elevator to the Top of Binions Steakhouse. The hubbster had been here before and always had a great dining experience. This was my first time, and I felt there was something lacking. lets dish why.
As far as the ambiance of the place, its very romantic, stylish and vintage Vegas. I can picture the Rat Pack having drinks in a corner booth, or maybe Wayne Newton having some Filet Mignon at the next table. The view of the Fremont area below and the Vegas Strip in the distance is beautiful and a great scene while dining.
The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service was great since they knew we were kind of a «wedding» party, given our attire, but the food on the other hand seemed bland and not too tasty as I expected. I had ordered a wedge salad which was fine, and then the filet mignon at medium, which it was medium pink, but still had well done bits close to the end. The veggies had no salt, which I added some, and so the wine seemed to be the best selection of the night. It wasn’t unpleasant enough to complain, since the food was hot and smelled great, but for the $$$ for what we paid, I feel it was not worth it.
Perks: Gorgeous views of the city. Good wine selection. Steaks and seafood on the menu. Nice spot for a date night.
Downsides: Pricey for hit or miss entrees.
OverALL: A-​OK. Might have to take a gamble at this. Not bad, but not amazing either. Its worth a try if you are a steak lover.

The view is the best part of this restaurant, and you can get that on the High Roller over by the Linq for a lot less money. Our crew enjoys this place though I’m not sure why. The steaks are just so-​so, especially for the price. The desserts are good, but it’s a steakhouse. I guess my biggest complaint is there are no female waitresses. Their excuse was that they can’t carry the heavy trays. What??? Spend your money elsewhere.

A pretty good place but not the best that Vegas has to offer. Steak was good but I thought the salad stuck out. I’d go back if someone else was paying because I’ve spent my money on the «experience». Maybe it’s just a personal preference, but I know if better steaks in this city. A few have told me that it would be much better if Benny was still alive because he would have had the chefs «tuned up» in the alley way if he read a review like mine.

This was really good. My wife and I wanted an old-​school steakhouse so Binions fit the bill. It’s on the top floor with an awesome view of the strip.
I’d recommend a booth over a table — the booth points at the window whereas in a table by the window you’d have to constantly turn to look out.
We shared the large 24oz prime rib with a baked potato. It was plenty of food and it was done perfectly. To start we also had the spinach artichoke dip.
Great food, excellent service. I’ll come back!

Vegas’s hidden gem! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas and I always make my way from the strip to experience the greatness that’s Fremont street and indulge in some delicious Binions grub. Although it’s just as pricey as the trendy strip restaurants, the unique ambience and 5 star food can’t be beat. This place has an old school mafia vibe with great panoramic views of Vegas. Everything here is great, but let’s get to the point — chicken fried LOBSTER. Whattttt??? Yes, heaven is a place on earth… and that place is Binions. They take a lobster tail, pound it out, panko crust it and deep fry it = perfection! Must have and worth every penny!!! Steaks are fabulous too.

Very nice classic style steakhouse. A great view of the strip at night when seated by the window which we asked to be moved to as another group finished before ours was served. They had to inquire first and then were happy to oblige. Very Friendly service.
As for the meal two of the four dishes had to be sent back, one was an overdone Pork Chop Porterhouse which they replaced and was spot on.
The Rib eye ordered med-​rare was blue, they took a second stab at it, put it in the oven, and brought it back on a clean plate. I guess that’s ok ?
The other plates were a hit, a NY Strip and a Cajun chicken, which were nearly finished by the time ours returned.
Not a disaster but there are too many steakhouses in Vegas to be coming up short like that, hope it doesn’t happen often.

We went to Binions for my birthday. The service was awesome. They brought me a free dessert! Cool view… But the steak was blah. I wanted to love this place because it’s old mobster but

We ate here on my actual birthday… this was the 3^rd steakhouse in 5 days… and as before, it was outstanding. I had a 24oz cut of prime rib and it was perfect! Also, they generously provided a birthday dessert that was just as good. Oh yes, I ate EVERY BIT of that prime rib! Great service, nice view… a hidden gem!

I have a love/​hate relationship with this restaurant. I have been twice now. The view and ambiance is spectacular, but the food is lacking.
On our trip today my wife and I ordered the shrimp cocktail which was delicious. For our entrées we both ordered the prime rib, medium. The meat seemed high quality and seasoned well, but neither was cooked correctly. Mine was overdone and hers was under cooked. Why would they send out the same meat with one bleeding and one charred? When we let our server know he did nothing about it.
I’m also very disappointed in the wine and whiskey selections. You would think they would have a great selection but it was below standard.
Again, the views, the ambiance and basic food are great. The price would be okay if these side issues were taken care of. I just wish they would tighten up some loose ends and step it up.

Pleasantly surprised! If you have to go to Vegas, you have to go downtown to Fremont St., and if you are going down to Fremont St. you have to go up to Binion’s Steakhouse to watch the sunset and get your game on before taking on the zoo below. Well done!

I made a reservation for my wedding anniversary, and they treated us like VIPs! We got a great table with an awesome view and the service was top notch. Everything we ordered was very good. If you like your steak char-​broiled, I think you will enjoy Binion’s. To top it off, the bill was very reasonable compared to other steakhouses of the same caliber.

Steak was ok, but the showstopper was the shrimp cocktail. Service was fantastic. Would come here again for a more reasonably priced steak. But for ultimate steak quality, I would probably go with a strip based restaurant.

This place is ALL RIGHT!!!
Called for reservations for 4 people at 7:15 pm and they had us seated at a very nice window table with a great view of Downtown Las Vegas at 8:30 pm… and for that alone, they ROCK!
We had a couple shrimp cocktails for the table… great size, but not the best quality.
Tablemates had the Wedge Salad, and pronounced it excellent.
I had the ribeye medium (was more like medium rare), fully loaded baked potato and sauteed carrots., price was around $ 50,00, and completely worth it I ordered the peppercorn sauce and that was a yawn, but am looking forward to trying some bernaise next time.
The waitstaff was impeccable, and this restaurant is a real find. It will be one of my go to destinations when back in Las Vegas

Great atmosphere, amazing food, no Vegas prices. Food is priced very modestly. I recommend!

The food was take it or leave it. Ordered escargot, Caesar salad (which isn’t table side), steak and lobster which I ordered medium rare both came out overlooked, added a side of crab legs which was the best thing I tasted. The mixed veggies were just different colored carrots and they weren’t as soft as carrots should be served. Garlic mashed potatoes and rice were delicious. Melted butter was salted, which i couldn’t believe. Great ambiance and service. A bottle of Vueve Clicot was only 85 $!!! So I will come back for crab legs and champagne. No fresh desserts, they actually still rock the tray. Supposed to be the best value in Vegas, but there are better. We are spoiled with great steaks living here in Vegas

If your steak comes out not the way you want and no one doesn’t come around to acknowledge it, do you still eat it?..
Anyway, I ordered a steak and lobster, market price of $ 72 dollars. You’d expect a steak house to know how to cook steak right? Steak was very hard, almost like a very bad cut and over cooked.
Probably at the end of our meal, manager comes around asks how things are doing? Steak is over cooked I say, and he asks if he could make up by a dessert? I say no, he asked for another steak I say no, we had a show to attend so we didn’t have time to sit around any longer.
Long story short they should’ve taken the steak off the bill as it wasn’t cooked correctly, but they didn’t.
I was weary of going here to dine in, and I should’ve trusted my gut instinct.
I could’ve cooked a better steak myself.
Go there for the view, not the food you’ll be disappointed!

This steakhouse sits in old town Vegas – the place to be before the strip happened. Now it seems that although the community surrounding Binions isn’t as happening… Binions is. :)
My husband and I had just gotten married and we were in Vegas for a work convention for his business. We were also celebrating my 31^st birthday! A year before we were married we visited Binions after reading many reviews about a nice place to go.
The prices here are on the higher end but there is something about old town Vegas that can’t be beat. There is so much history within the walls of this place.
Both times we went we had fantastic servers. Both older gentleman who had been around for awhile. They were both full of tips and secrets about Vegas. The last visit we had the gentleman actually shared our wedding anniversary – he was very friendly!
My husband and I both got delicious steaks, baked potatoes and green beans. They brought these miniature bowls with sour cream, bacon bits and butter. The baked potato was cooked to perfection and the steak was so good that we both finished every bite!
If you have transportation to old town and looking for a place full of memories and a place to make new ones… Binions is it!

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing this place is. Located on the 23^rd floor of a hotel in old Vegas lies the hidden gem that is Binions Steak House. The word «ranch» is hilly inaccurate for what you get when you arrive.
Also, this place makes a great Caesar, which is kind of a gem in its own right as most places in Vegas don’t even know what a Caesar is.
We arrived as a party of 5 and were seated in a booth facing a window which stretches through the entire room and overlooks the entire city. Vegas was at my feet that evening in all it’s twinkling glory.
The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and immaculately kept. If it’s old, it aged like wine and does not show it’s years at all. The fabric of the booths is all red, with tablecloths, linen napkins, and polished flatware. All of the servers I saw were male and extremely well versed in polite conversation as well as when to get lost if the guests are actively engaged in conversation.
This place reminds me of a mob movie. I felt like a mobsters girlfriend and I absolutely loved it, especially the part where Mr. I ordered for me (I had asked him too just for the experience).
He ordered: rib eye with asparagus and baked potato. I was served an 8oz fillet with all the same trimmings. The food was incredible. Perfect rare steak, perfect presentation, large portions but not overwhelmingly so. The wine list was extensive but not so much that we couldn’t pick something amazing (a napa gem Mr j took a photo of because of the loveliness of it.)
I would absolutely return. This is the kind of place you take people you love, or someone you plan to have killed in the next scene. ;)

We had one excellent meal here!
It began with warm Sourdough Rolls: some with poppy seeds and some with sesame seeds. Next up were yummy and salty Oysters Rockefeller. Lobster Bisque was thick and tasty, with good lobster flavor. And, French Onion Soup was hot and very tasty, with Mozzarella Cheese.
My entrée of Filet Mignon was buttery and perfectly medium rare as ordered, accompanied by a very good Spinach Salad that contained egg and Hot Bacon Dressing. Lobster was slightly sweet, and Roasted Red Potatoes were excellent. So were a creamy Béarnaise Sauce and Cabernet Sauce. Carrots were prepared al dente. Rounding out what was consumed by my party of four, Grilled Salmon and a medium-​well Butterflied Filet were both pronounced good by friends at my table, but unwelcome spinach juice from Sauteed Spinach ran across one diner’s plate.
Service was generally excellent, but ordered Garlic Mashed Potatoes were initially left off a fellow diner’s plate. One oddity was that Coke and Diet Coke were served in diminutive bottles.
As a distinct bonus to fine food, from our table we enjoyed an excellent rooftop view of downtown and the valley floor below. Because we had a play to attend at the Smith Center, there was little time to order dessert, and we were all too full anyway.
4−½ stars overall! I plan to return soon for a more leisurely meal.

I’ve been wanting to return here for a long time but I never seem to go to the Fremont Street area for dinner. Last night, we had a play at Las Vegas Little Theatre and I had some comp dollars from Binion’s, so we finally made it here. I hadn’t been in the restaurant since it was known as Top of the Mint many years ago.
As others have said, it’s a classic steakhouse and you have a great view. We were there early and enjoyed our time looking out the window and picking out things we didn’t know were around the area.
For the meal, we each started with onion soup. It was good with a hearty beef broth and tasty cheese. I ordered the 10 ounce NY steak and my wife ordered the 8 ounce filet. It came with choice of starch – we each chose the garlic mashed potatoes – and seasonal vegetable which last night was yellow and green squash. Both steaks were tasty. Mine was done a bit to much. It should have been rarer but it wasn’t egregious enough to send it back.
For dessert, we took a look at the dessert tray brought by our waiter, Jeff, and we opted for the same dessert, a chocolate volcano – a small bundt cake made of chocolate and filled with heated chocolate. It was very good.
A couple of things to note. Service was very good. Jeff has been at the steakhouse for a number of years and he’s a good server. I never wanted for a refill of my iced tea and the bus people were there to remove dirty plates when a course was finished. The view is as good as everyone points out. I enjoyed being there while it was light because I could pick out more places. We were long enough that we could see the lights of Fremont Street start to glow after sundown.
For the price, I think there are other good options for steak in Las Vegas at a comparable price.
