    Steak & Lobster special and Chicken Club sandwich w/JC Salad side.
    Cyndy W.

    I don't know why we don't eat here more than we do. We always have a great meal with good, friendly service. We also love the local neighborhood vibe. My husband really enjoyed his steak and lobster. They cooked his steak to a perfect medium and he said the lobster was buttery and delicious. He doesn't eat lobster often, so it was even better that he enjoyed it. I tried the Chicken Club and liked it a lot. I usually don't eat sandwiches for dinner and usually not club sandwiches at all because they fall apart on me. Glad I took a chance. The sandwich was really good and I was able to eat it without having to resort to using my knife and fork. My husband had a few bites too and liked it too. We'll be back a lot sooner next time.

    We came for the Thursday $18 Half Rack Ribs special. Unfortunately, it was not worth it. My wife had the Chicken Sandwich which was also not good. The chicken breast was poor quality and dry. It's obvious its a precooked/processed piece of chicken that they just simply heat up. My salad was old and soggy. Because it's Halloween season, I guess they figured tons of super-giant spiders on the wall would be appealing while eating. Friendly service, however both our cloth napkins were dirty when we arrived. We were contemplating on trying their Saturday steak special, but now we feel this place is only good for cocktails and drinks.

    I did a to go order of the Mediterranean chicken wrap a jc side salad and a side of guacamole. The tzatziki was bland. I think it was missing dill maybe. The guac was amazing. I should have got a chicken wrap with guacamole if that was an option. The wrap was actually too much food for me so I saved the salad for later.

    We tried the Steak & Lobster special last Saturday (only available on Wednesdays and Saturdays), and it was pretty good overall. My two daughters (ages 9 and 12) each ordered one as well, and they really enjoyed the lobster. The steaks were just okay, not premium quality, but honestly, for the price, there's not much to complain about. The only downside was the wait. We arrived around 5:15 pm but didn't get seated until about 5:35 pm, which was a bit longer than expected. Also, it's pretty far from the strip. I mean... far. Tip: If you prefer better-quality meat, you can upgrade the steak for an additional charge.

    Visited John Cutter on Wednesday for their dinner special of steak and lobster. We arrived at 5:30 and were lucky to obtain the last booth. All of the remaining tables were high top. Service was prompt by our server Brooke. My wife and I each ordered the special and upgraded to Filet Mignon Steak. The steak and lobster were 6 oz. each. Our side dish was the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes. I was skeptical of the food because of the very reasonable price steak and lobster $25 or upgrade to any streak cut for a total of $45. The food arrived in a short time and it was perfectly cooked. The lobster was tender and served with melted butter. The steaks were cooked medium rare and well done exactly as ordered and both were tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. Brooke checked on us several times during dinner. The upgrade to the Filet Mignon was a great choice. We also signed up for the loyalty club and received a $40 discount on our bill. John Cutter has specials on other nights and we put them on our return list.

    My husband and I finally had time for a date night after a long, hard week. We were in the area and my sister had recommended this restaurant several times, so we gave it a try. It's a small, quaint bar/tavern. We were greeted pleasantly and seated right away. We sat at a booth that had a very pretty chandelier hanging above us, TVs had the baseball game on...so far so good! Our waitress greeted us and asked if it was our first time there, we said yes, and she explained their specials , including a steak and lobster dinner for $25! We ordered two beers (they have an extensive selection, but they're only bottles, no draft) and we also ordered two appetizers...the potato wedges and the "2 soft pretzels". For our entree, we went with 2 of their specials, and asked for the steaks to be cooked medium well/well..just so there isn't any pink inside. Beers came out. Then the pretzels...when the server set the plate down, I felt embarrassed that my husband ordered them. They were the frozen "super pretzels" that you get at little league snack shacks. They basically microwaved them according to directions, slathered with butter and salt, and served them for $13! On their website they show a plate with 2 golden and crispy pretzels, not tan and rubbery. My husband was starving, so he let it go, and ate some until our entrees came out. The plate looked good! Decent sized steak that looked well seasoned and a small lobster tail. I gave the lobster tail to my husband as I don't like seafood, and cut into my steak. It seemed as if it was cooked to the right temperature, so I go to put the first bite in my mouth, and I smelled something odd. I thought perhaps it was the chilli oil they put on top, so I took the bite. It had no type of seasoning flavor, just a strange almost gamey taste. I put some salt on it and tried to take a few more bites, but I could tell that this was an old piece of meat that was spoiling. It had a sour smell and taste. Meanwhile, my husband cuts into his and it's way undercooked, and he asked the waitress for it to be cooked longer. I asked my husband if his steak had the same smell and he said no, it was just mine. When the waitress returned again with my husbands steak, I politely told her something was really off, maybe if she just wanted to smell it she would see instantly what I was talking about. I explained I wasn't boujee when it comes to steak, it doesn't need to be anything fancy, just not have spoiled. She said she would ask the manager what he could do. I'm grossed out at this point, embarrassed, and disappointed we couldn't have a simple dinner together. The waitress came back and told me the manager would take care of my steak but charge me for the lobster tail, since I gave it to my husband. I said ok reluctantly, thinking really? I didn't eat any dinner! When we got the bill, I was charged $16 for my dinner(the lobster tail). So essentially the manager took $9 dollars off of our bill for my spoiled steak dinner getting sent back. My husband did not eat his steak either. He was grossed out and even with them cooking it longer, it was still raw inside. To top it off, plastered all over the restaurant is a loyalty club you can join and "get $40 off of your bill TODAY" I went through all of the sign up steps, showed the waitress after receiving our check and she said I could only get $20 off, not the $40 that I was literally holding in my hands. That doesn't seem like loyalty to me...it was very misleading and gives you the taken advantage of feeling. The manager didn't come over to apologize for my dinner being foul, or hey sorry this was your first experience I hope we can make it right in the future, nothing. It's unfortunate and like I always say...word of mouth in this town can make you or break you. You have to treat everyone the way you would want your family to be treated, and you'll have so much success! As someone who was born and raised here in beautiful Las Vegas, it pains me to have to give a local business a bad review...but at the same time, these local businesses should have more pride and be held to the standards Las Vegas' dining scene is held to.

    The food at John Cutter is consistently good! Tried the shrimp tacos and they were great! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and has a fun atmosphere. The real draw are the servers! They're friendly and fun to be around! All around great experience!

    Do not go to this place, just don't. Service is terrible, even when there is no one on the place. The servers are super rude, I don't know if it's because of the incident they had with the camera, but this place is terrible. And let me tell you something Al's Garage is the best! Seems that John is the bad little brother of this enterprise. Do not got here, they are the worst, but Al's Garage is the BEST! I guess the "camera situation" lowered the customer service

    Ask the Community - John Cutter

    Do they still have Sunday 1/2/50% off deals?

    I think so Go to their Website or Google Again I thought is wasn’t very good

    Is Tuesday $7 burger special all day?

    Yes...7am to 7am.

    Are the specials available all day?

    Yes

    Is $19 steak and lobster everyday?

    No it's Wednesday and Saturday.

    Is it kid friendly?

    Yes, however the hostess staff is terrible and rude. Our waitress was awesome.

    Is the gambling area separated from the dining area? Is smoking allowed inside the restaurant?

    They have the typical video poker games at the bar area but no smoking allowed.

    With this pandemic going on and customers like myself not feeling comfortable eating out, why doesn't your restaurant offer take out on the specials? I feel this is a time when you should allow your specials to be available to go?

    Do you need to make a reservation?

    They only accept walk ins now.

    Do you still do half priced steaks on Sunday?

    Yes

They share the same kitchen and have the same menus. The only difference is Chicago Brewing Company has a bar and is full bar. If you don't need full bar or don't need to watch sports on TVs, Magnolia's Veranda is the better choice. Read on. The non-smoking section of Chicago Brewing Company is pretty small with just a handful of tables. If you sit in the bar area, which has a lot more seating, you might be subjected to cigar and cigarette smoke. I don't smoke, but I don't mind cigarette smoke in Vegas, but cigar smoke when people are eating is a dyck move if you ask me. Take it outside. Magnolia's Veranda is cavernous. I've never had to wait for a table no matter the time of day, and the service is always great. I will say in my experience the service at Chicago Brewing Company was great, too, based on my one visit, but I wonder how it might be during busy times. It appeared to me the front of the house was handled by the bartender and the hostess. I could foresee them getting in the weeds when it's busy. For this lunch outing at Chicago Brewing Company, I chose the Cobb salad hold the eggs. It was generous portioned and excellent. The service was excellent, too. It was on the ball from start to finish. Cheers! Be sure to check out my Las Vegas pics and pans collection.

I asked if this was the only non smoking section? He said yes and that there were tables in the bar which is smoking??? I explained that I'm a Disabled Veteran with Asthma and Lung problems and my friend also has asthma and we cannot sit in a smoking section. He shrugged his shoulders and offered no option. A place that is open 24/7 should accommodate ADA and other disabilities. Apparently they don't care so I will never go back.

I just wish this was closer to me and in a better location. It's a small parking lot which luckily wasn't too packed (Sunday around 12:30p). The place is mainly for pick up although they have 1 or 2 tables inside. They share the space with other restaurants so essentially you enter this small room and wait for them to come out to deliver the food. I would say you should just wait in your car until you get a text that your food is done. (Also their phone number didn't work so... best to just wait!) There are people just sleeping or talking to themselves all along Main St, but none were in the parking lot. I personally wouldn't go by myself at night... so I hope they can get a shop in Chinatown or Cheongdam food hall one day crossing my fingers!!!!!

He is polite, respectful, and actually understands what customer service means. Without him, this would be a zero-star review. I stayed away from this place for a while because of past experiences, but I thought I'd give it another try. Big mistake. The front counter employee (short, rude, and completely disrespectful) the name of my receipt was "BRETT B." had absolutely no customer service skills whatsoever. The way he speaks to customers is unacceptable. While we were there, we literally watched him look around to see if anyone was paying attention and then pour beer into a cup and drink it while working. We even recorded it -- unfortunately you can't post videos here. It was obvious something was off. His behavior, the lack of awareness, the attitude -- it left customers standing there whispering in shock that he was even on shift. It didn't stop there. While waiting at the pickup window, we watched a tall, bald employee standing on top of the deep fryers -- which were actively in use -- scraping the exhaust vents with a large knife. Those fryers contain extremely hot oil. Watching someone balance over active cooking equipment like that was alarming. If that's not a safety concern, I don't know what is. It certainly didn't look safe or professional. I'm sure OSHA will like to see the video that we have as well as the Southern Nevada Health District because I'm sure that these are both places that will see violation. As I fully planned to call my friend Joshua that works there and email him all of this. As for the food? The burgers are consistently dry and rarely made the way you order them. You don't get what you ask for. Period. I ordered medium and it was completely red inside. Please see photos and when I called and asked him about why it was wrong. The answer I got was the following. " well I don't know what to tell you. We only make what you give us when you order. You should check it before you walked away." It's unfortunate because this location has potential. It's in a casino, right by the sportsbook, and it's convenient -- which is likely the only reason people keep going. But convenience does not excuse poor service, questionable professionalism, and obvious safety concerns. I stand where I can see my food being prepared because I genuinely don't trust what's going on behind that counter. That says everything. This place needs serious evaluation of who they have working there and how it's being managed. Until that happens, I do not recommend eating here. Not unless you're prepared for incorrect orders, dry food, and customer service that makes you feel like you're an inconvenience. You'd honestly receive better service at McDonald's. I won't be going back. Eat here with caution.
