    Iced tea
    Jeannine C.

    The perfect low key hide-away away from the tourism riff raff! Eat is such a hidden gem! Far away from the strip, nestled in its own little corner downtown. Its small and quaint but very inviting. The food offered here embodies true American cuisine. There are vegetarian options as well as Gluten free options, and I love how the dishes come with a side of fresh strawberries. The staff were very friendly and got food orders out very quickly. I definitely recommend trying this place at least once.

    Biscuits and Gravy

    Eat is located in downtown Las Vegas, near Fremont Street. My cousin was in town, and we wanted to try a new restaurant. The service was decent, a little rushed in my opinion. They weren't busy when we visited. Not very much light, but it was okay. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The gravy could've been a bit thicker. I visited because I heard it was black owned, but I don't think I will be back.

    Recently, went to have brunch here with my family. We did not find any free parking. Though, the food was worth it. I had the biscuits and gravy. Other people in my group had the pancakes, BLT sandwich, salad, and truffle sandwich. I thought the best and gravy and BLT sandwich was the best. The server was busy, though he was very friendly and helpful. He had a silver ponytail only issue with the place is it's not well lit like other brunch locations. Though the food, music, and service was great.

    Tofu Scramble

    My fellow diners like to eat at their regular spots and there's nothing wrong with that so imagine my surprise when they wanted to try someplace new. I picked .eat based on the excellent reviews from Yelp and through scratch-made menu items. We parked along the street and went inside. It's got a local vibe. You know the local vibe where regulars have their orders confirmed from the back of the kitchen, where small talk is about families or what did you over the weekend. It was nice to see that as I've not seen that in.m while. The menu is clear-cut. There is a wide variety of items and there are no modifications. To sum it up, there's a sign inside that says, "Be nice or leave,". I was good with all of that. I looked over the menu and saw that there was a Tofu Scramble. I just wanted to confirm with the server that all the ingredients and preparations were vegan. He confirmed and I felt reassured. One diner ordered the biscuits and gravy and the other diner ordered the pork chops but with modifications. I was afraid that he was going to be told no, but the server took it in stride and took our order to the kitchen. Our order was ready on time and looked homemade and freshly prepared. I asked for some Chalula and Ketchup and started on my chive potatoes. Crispy, crunchy and tasty. I could have eaten a bowl of those potatoes and would have been content. The other two diners didn't say much so I couldn't gauge if they liked their meals or not. There was a lot of staring at their phones while I took my time and enjoyed my meal. .eat is a neat place and if I lived in the Las Vegas area, you would find me there on an early Saturday or Sunday morning eating a Tofu Scramble and chatting it up with the owner.

    Bagel sandwich
    Viviana M.

    Very tasty brunch place. We came by on a Monday around 10:00. The place was busy and we still sat very quickly. We ordered the Deviled Eggs to share. They were very tasty. The hard boiled egg part is fried with the cream and bacon crumbs on top. Would order again. The bagel sandwich was also delicious. We added avocado. The bagel was soft and warm. The potatoes were ok. They had a good flavor but the texture of some were a bit chewy. The chilaquiles were also good. We enjoyed them. They were our least favorite out of the three items we ordered. Service was polite and spotty. At times, it took a while to get refills. This place is across the street of the Container Park.

    I haven't been to this spot in forever! At least 5 years but possibly more. It's awesome to know the food and service is as excellent as I remember it. Today I had a delicious breakfast for a reasonable price, one of the best places to grab breakfast or lunch, and you have to get off the strip for it. We were walking around the container park and I remembered it was there. We were in a bit of a time crunch and we asked if we could do takeout, the server said no on weekends, but she assured us they are really fast. No lie, we placed our order and food came really quick afterwards. And the place was full. Server was attentive and brought the check and boxes just as we were wrapping up. Chill and friendly ambience, with great food quality, for over 10 years. Go EAT here :)

    Came here for breakfast and glad we did! It was great, the service was great and the food was really good! If you find yourself in the area and you're hungry stop in.

    Huevos Masateños
    Vania M.

    I will start by saying the service was great. My friend and I were originally planning on going to Parlour but it was packed so we went across the street to Eat and were immediately greeted by friendly staff and sat right away. The patio has cute lights and just a really calm vibe. I ordered the prime rib hash and my friend ordered the huevos masateños, I liked my dish I just wish the potatoes were a little softer. I'll come back for sure.

    I love this place! Today I brought my family here for the first time and they are enjoying the vibe here, great service from Iliana, she was fast and super attentive. We ordered a variety of food; truffle egg sandwich, pancakes and sausage, and biscuits and gravy. So excited to dig in!

    Potato Salad

    You had me at Fried Chicken baby! I was just complaining that you can't get real Fried Chicken anywhere in Vegas. Then I got an update from Eventbrite for this event! I would call it a pop- up however the Chef runs this place for Breakfast and is just open for this "One Night Performance"! We came not sure what to expect. We left feeling like family. As soon as we walked through the door, the friendly staff could be seen buzzing around in preparation for the evening, yet they were gracious and greeted us each time they passed by! The spot at EAT is comfy and not cluttered. The Chef was effortlessly moving around directing staff, socializing with guests and putting her approval on plates coming out of the kitchen. I feel fortunate to have scored tickets early as the event was packed, with a wait and several takeout orders were staged for pickup! The food; The Cornbread and Biscuits are amazing and came out fresh and warm, what a great starter! The sides were all good, simple but good. As is appropriate for a meal such as this. The Chicken was Spectacular! Hot Crisp and perfectly seasoned! Now that's what I am talking about when I say Fried Chicken! The "Love" could be tasted in every bite! The food was served family style and we ate way too much but couldn't help ourselves, it was that good! We will be back for Breakfast for sure!

    I've been coming here since it opened. I've never have experienced such rude behavior from an employee named Mike (tall Caucasian, with long gray hair in a pony tail). Today is the first time i brought my parents and they felt not welcomed and discriminated by him. I'm extremely disappointed and quite embarrassed that an establishment has someone like him working, as everyone knows how prideful the chef Natalie (owner)is about the morale, community/staff support she gives and how committed she is, as we've talked in the past and i see her vision. I will be returning, my parents will not and in hopes that man isn't working his shift while I'm here. #notcoolmike

    The deviled eggs that can make giraffes dance

    Whenever I come to Vegas I always make sure to try small local loved spots. I have no clue how EAT hasn't popped up on my radar before, but I'm so glad it did today. I'm staying downtown and was looking for a new (to me) breakfast place within walking distance. After reading some of the reviews I knew I had to give EAT a try today, and I'm so glad I did. Everything about the restaurant impressed me. From the benches out front, to the owner greeting and seating us, the food, and the way the staff all worked together like a well oiled friendly machine. The owner was the one to greet us and seat us, she told us the story about how a local artist made the benches that are out front and just gifted them to her. Said she came to work one day and they were there for her. They have song lyrics engraved into them, and they're beautiful. We ordered the deviled eggs and biscuits and gravy. Both were outstanding! I consider myself a connoisseur of biscuits and gravy, as it's one of my favorite things and it's rare I don't order it if it's on a menu. This is easily one of the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had. The biscuits are the perfect density and fluffiness, the gravy was flavorful but not too heavy. Eggs and bacon were both cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the food you get. I loved watching the staff work. Everyone helps everyone. A table leaves, anyone available quickly cleaned it, not waiting for a busser or anyone else. There was a sign that said they were celebrating 10 years this year, I hope they're here for at least another 10. I will definitely be back and will also recommend it to anyone coming to Vegas as a must try breakfast spot.

    Breakfast in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada... I've been here at least a couple of times, so, I can say that this place is simply good. eat. Good staff, good food, and good environment. LOCATION: corner of Carson and 7th PARKING: metered street parking... Uhg! On this visit, there was a new item on the menu: "thin cut pan fried pork chops". It came with two eggs any style (I got scrambled), country pork gravy (on the side in a bowl), chive potatoes, and toast! I really enjoyed it because the thin pork chops were easier to eat and the meat wasn't dry! I also appreciated the fresh strawberries! They're sweeter on the mainland! Service was Excellent! The receptionist and server (Carissa) were both very personable, welcoming, and helpful! If you get a chance to come here, remember that they're closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! Happy Tenth Anniversary, eat.!

    Ask the Community - Eat.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like fried calamari that would cross contaminate gluten free french fries? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

    Can I make a reservation?

    Yes, but, we just walked in. I enjoyed every bite of my food.

    Can I request no meat in my dishes? They sound so good!

    I would imagine you could. They were very accommodating

    Is there typically a wait and if so, how long?

    If you go on the early side there is less of a chance of a wait. If you do need to wait, be patient. It's worth it.

    How does the parking situation work?

    I parked on the street around the corner at a meter. There were plenty of spots, and it was inexpensive. If you venture further, you might be able to find free on-street parking.

    Are there Gluten free options?

    Yes, I saw something about gluten free. I don't remember how many items though.

    Does this restaurant serve alcohol?

    No but our other restaurant that’s open for lunch 11-6 Mon - Saturday does. OLDSOULDTLV.COM

    Open on Thanksgiving?

    No sorry closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas

    We have a dog on a leash. Is there a seating area where our pet is allowed?

    There is no seating where your dog is allowed. It is all inside.

    Are there any gluten free options here?

    Yes! I love the shrimp with grits!

    Hey fam! Do they serve alcohol/ mimosas?

    No they do not. Sorry

    Is the tomato soup cream based?

    I'm guessing it is tomato base.

    What are their holiday hours? Will they be open on Christmas Day?

    Hi! Both locations will be closed Christmas Day so our awesome staff can spend the holiday with their family and friends.

At Sparrow & Wolf I feel like we really got our moneys worth compared to going on the strip. A meal like this on the strip would have easily cost $250 - $300 per person. We were started off with a seafood tower which had lobster, oysters, shrimp, and a charcuterie /cheese selection on the bottom . We had the choice between steak or fish for the main course, I chose the steak. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare.

The restaurant was set up with 2-3 themed rooms connected by a wide hallway with a bar. The restaurant overall was decorated in chocolate brown cloth and chocolate brown leathers. I got to sit in "The Pearl Room". This room was gorgeous and was covered in TONS pearls. I quickly discovered that I was way underdressed (leggings and a Nashville t-shirt lol) but the staff never treated me as I didn't belong. The staff gave everyone 5-star service and treated me as if I was the most important person in the room the whole time I was there. The restaurant was all small bites, but did not leave you hungry. To drink I had the Bubbles & Berries. This was light, refreshing, and bursting with strawberry flavor. To eat, I had Roasted Bone Marrow, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Dumplings, Panzanella Scallops, and Truffle Mac & Cheese with Lobster. WoW-just WoW! All of the food was elegant yet had the flavors that make you do a food dance. My favorite was the Roasted Bone Marrow and the Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Dumplings. The bone marrow was out of this world delicious! This was the best bone marrow that I have every had. It was silky smooth and melted the second it hit your mouth! The Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Dumplings were amazing! The dumplings were a well-seasoned surprising bite of flavor that was complemented by a rich and creamy elevated tomato soup. The Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail was fresh, large, and complemented by a beautiful cocktail sauce. The Panzanella Scallops were delicate, rich, and buttery. They were also cooked to perfection. The Truffle Mac & Cheese with Lobster was good but my least favorite. The flavor of truffle was not found and there was very little lobster with what could be found being extremely small pieces. The cheese also could have been a bit more creamy so that the pasta was covered a bit more. I probably will skip this item on my next visit.

The restaurant is hidden behind a pawn shop with guitars and purses for sale which was interesting.

A few dishes stood out to me: the grilled cheese with tomato soup start tastes just as you imagine it would and was so delicious. I would skip the chile relleno empanadas it was mostly cheese and not much else. The poke tacos were good, basic but good. Chicken meatballs were so soft in a white sauce. The pesto pasta was also light and herby, so good. The brussel sprouts were my least favorite, because I felt like it was overcooked and you tasted more of the burnt brussel leaves flavor than anything else. Best dessert was the beignet donuts that were freshly fried. Overall solid place for a meal - definitely come!!!

At the end of the day - would still take guests here and even drop in for brunch if it's just me and the hubby. Decor is cute. Menu is fun and every dish was fantastic.

    The Beast at AREA15, Las Vegas: Where your appetite goes to get gloriously mauled (and you'll thank…read moreit) Look, I didn't come to AREA15 expecting culinary enlightenment. I came for the immersive weirdness, the LED-lit chaos, and maybe a drink that comes in a pouch. What I got instead was a plate that looked like it had just pinned a Philly cheesesteak in a back-alley brawl and then celebrated with a basket of golden, crispy tater tots. Two generous sandwiches arrived looking like they were trying to escape their own excess. Soft rolls barely containing a tangle of chopped steak, peppers, and a luxurious, lava-like cheese sauce that clung to everything like it had trust issues. This is almost certainly the **Cheesy Rider** (or its close cousin), and it rides hard: savory, slightly sweet from the onions and peppers, and unapologetically messy. The kind of sandwich that demands two napkins, a strategy, and zero shame. One bite in and you're already calculating how many more you can justify before your waistband files a formal complaint. Beside them sat a metal basket of tater tots that had clearly been fried with ambition. Crunchy exterior, fluffy interior, the perfect vehicle for the two tiny cups of ketchup that stood guard like loyal, tomato-y sidekicks. These weren't afterthought tots. These were "I will ruin your dinner plans in the best way" tots. The kind you keep reaching for even after you've sworn you're full. The plate itself--crackle-glazed, slightly dramatic--felt right at home in The Beast's steampunk-meets-gastropub lair. Background plates of nachos and other shareables hinted that this table was living its best group-dining life, and honestly, same. Everything about the setup screamed "order more than you need and regret nothing." Is it fine dining? No. Is it the kind of comforting, over-the-top, flavor-forward fuel that makes perfect sense after wandering through Omega Mart or whatever delightful sensory overload AREA15 throws at you next? Absolutely. The Beast doesn't just feed you. It feeds the part of you that still believes a great sandwich and a mountain of tots can solve most of life's problems--at least until the check arrives. Verdict: Worth the pilgrimage into the belly. Just don't wear anything you care about. That cheese sauce has main-character energy.

    Great experience at Momofuku! The pork belly buns were incredible--tender, flavorful, and…read moredefinitely a highlight. Everything we tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The duck is a must-have dish. Great atmosphere and a fun spot to share a few dishes. The vibe was also great and lively, as it's located inside the Cosmopolitan hotel. Would definitely come back!

    Came here for a light lunch with 3 other of my girlfriends as we just arrived and was hungry but…read moredidn't want to eat too much as we had an early dinner reservation elsewhere. Saw the menu and thought it would be perfect to grab a couple of dishes to share. We started with the caviar buns. While the chicken was crispy, it was slightly dry, and the flavor completely overpowered the delicate caviar, making it difficult to appreciate what should have been the star ingredient. It totally did not worth the piece. The pork belly buns were also a little disappointing as the pork lacked the tenderness and juiciness I was hoping for. The ginger and scallion noodles with shrimp had a nice al dente texture, and the shrimp were the highlight as it was well prepared and flavorful. However, the overall seasoning felt a bit underwhelming, and the dish could have used a stronger depth of flavor. The standout dish of the night was definitely the rice cakes. They had a great contrast of textures, with a lightly fried exterior and a wonderfully chewy interior. The sauce was well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice and sweetness without becoming overpowering. Overall, there were some enjoyable elements, especially the rice cakes and shrimp, but a few of the signature items fell short of expectations given the price point.
