This place is located inside the Westin at lake Las Vegas. The ambiance is lively and sophisticated. The friendly staff are knowledgeable and can suggest items off the menu. I tried the appetizer hummus with veg and pita. It had a fresh flavor. The pita was toasted just right. This time around I took my food to go but sat at restaurant while I waited. It's a nice restaurant with good decor and medium intimate places to sit. It has good lighting at night not over bearing. I would like to visit again. read more

We ate several meals at Rick's Cafe in July. We did not have any meals that disappointed us. We enjoyed the buffet for breakfast and I thoroughly loved the gluten free muffins. In the evening I enjoyed the cheeseburger without a bun one night and the Asian salad another night. I would recommend both absolutely. Our wait staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs with helpful suggestions for accommodating my dietary needs. read more

The place started out great and i ordered a ribeye steak. When i got the steak it was big but it didn't look like a true $48 worth. it was all fat and me personally i don't like fat. It was also cooked wrong and was purple instead of pink. However the desert was amazing definitely worth the wait. I got mousse and it was incredible! - sincerely, john pork read more

We've been sitting here 30 minutes, they took beverage order, nothing here yet, could not possibly be slower, I wish I could comment about the food, but we don't have any yet. Other tables have given up and left. I am wondering if there is a McDonald's. nearby. Horrible service, that trumps everything else. If the food ever shows up, I will let you know. Not looking promising. Food finally showed up, cold prime rib, lukewarm asparagus and frigid fries, yummy .. read more

I ordered the soup of the minute (Broccoli cheddar) which was really good. For the main course I ordered the Halibut full portion and it was okay in taste, but I liked the Barley Rissoto and the asparagus combination. There was not many servers and because of that the wait time was bit longer. The ambience is okay, nothing to highlight or not any downside. read more

I ordered the ribeye through room service and it was scorched. It would save them so much trouble if they used an oven proof digital thermometer. It's not difficult to learn how to cook steaks correctly. read more

Ambiance and service were wonderful. Our server was attentive and truly did a great job. This is a resort, so the food is pricier. No surprise there. We chose a bacon cheeseburger and fries. It was a delicious burger but the bun was burned and the burnt bun took over the flavor profile. Truly that was the only difference between me giving four stars versus three. I can't stand burnt toast, and evidently neither a burnt bun. So this may be a personal thing with me! Other than the burned bun, it was a good experience and I would recommend eating here. read more

We waited for 20 minutes. We ordered the chicken pasta and it was the worst meal we have ever had. It looked like a snot meal and the chicken was extremely dry and tastes like rubber. read more

Tried all the restaurants at this resort, and the food wasn't bad at all. Alot of negative reviews here, but I had a great experience. Service was great as the staff was friendly. They have a lot of choices here and are busy during breakfast. Eggs Benedict was simple and tasted well. Also, potatoes were soft and seasoned well. read more

I realize it's off season, but come on. Service was slow. When you're 3 couple deep the maitre'd should be seating peeps, not cleaning up. This slowed there were not enough staff. The buffet had a reasonable selection, but the hot food on the buffet should not be cold and it was. That's not good enough for $30 pp The pastry was doughy. One bite was enough. The toasters (2) took a long time to toast, and the omelette guy kept disappearing. So service was hit and miss for peeps waiting. Not worth it. read more

Rick's Cafe is located inside the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort. The restaurant has great ambiance but at the time of my visit, the restaurant had mechanical problems and the menu was limited to 4 items. The service was great but the food was just ok. Later on that night while in the lounge area watching football, we ordered chicken fingers and fries and the breading on the chicken was too thick. Maybe it was just bad timing and unfortunate. If I am checking IG I to the Westin/area I'll consider giving them another try. read more

Rick's Cafe - Bacon burger - Comfort Food Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

The ambiance was ok. Quiet, clean, and looked pretty. But the food was a huge issue. There were only two families in the restaurant, including us, but it still took 30-40 minutes to get out our food. That's was hard on the kids to wait that long esp after a long drive to the hotel. But our waitress was nice and accommodating. When the food did come, our burgers were burnt. My husbands was still somewhat edible, plus he was really hungry, so he ate his. But mine wasn't edible. It just tasted burnt. And research has shown that eating super burned food can contribute to cancer--if you do it a lot. Thus, I prefer to just not eat that. Plus it tasted gross. When we told them, they took off the burger and just charged us for the side salad that I added on for $3. I ate that because I was super hungry too! The burger was $21 so I'm glad we asked them to remove it. My husbands burger was $18, and my sons grilled cheese and fries was $10. Pricey for what you get, but it's a hotel restaurant so we expected as much. But did expect a bit faster and better quality food for such high prices. read more

I ate here twice during a recent stay. We had the breakfast buffet which was great since it was included in our stay. They have a lot of breakfast options including an omelet station. We also came here for lunch. The flatbread we got was not great but the Asian chicken salad was really good. The service was also very friendly. read more

Please don't waste your time coming here unless you want to overpay for mediocre dishes. I originally wanted to order the southwest chicken pasta but my waitress recommended garlic linguine and the garlic shrimp instead. The dish came out with a palm sized portion of angel hair pasta and four pieces of small shrimp totaling to $26. Waters weren't refilled and also specified onions on burger which didn't come as well and mind you had to be remade because it was overcooked the first time. I can see why there was only one other table on a Sunday night at 7pm during Labor Day weekend. read more

We've been so pleased with the food and the selections offered here. There's always a couple of wonderful vegetarian options and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Food has been consistently delicious too. The fine attention to details is greatly appreciated. Kudos to the chef. read more

Came here twice as I was a guest in the Westin. The atmosphere is nice, bright and welcoming. First time was evening and I just ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and some broccolini, and a glass of wine. There were two large parties of about 7-10 guests and two other tables of two, and then me. The wine took 15 min to come, and the salad took 40. I was thinking maybe it was grilled chicken or something, but no. The chicken was as cold as the lettuce it sat in. I ended up just getting it to go. It tasted fine. Neither great nor bad. Second time I came was for the breakfast buffet. I was seated and then shown where the food was. There was a great selection from eggs bacon sausage etc to pastries, bagels, oatmeal etc. Lovely fresh fruit section, lots to choose from. Sadly I didn't take a photo!! Not sure why Staff was always very pleasant, it just seems maybe under staffed. Would possibly return for the buffet but not any time where I would have to order and wait. read more

Some really bad reviews in here but I had a very good experience. Yes it's one of the only food options if you aren't dining in the nicer restaurants. Is it the best food I've ever had? No. Is it overpriced because of the hotel? Sure! But it's good and the service was great! I was able to place an order to go so I could take it back to my room and it took a whopping 10 minutes. I had the Beyond burger and it came with fries (see photo). Really good! Wish I had known about the fries because I would have asked for ketchup or ranch. the fries were so good, great flavor. I also had the half order of the garlic mac & cheese and I didn't love it. There are actual chopped pieces of garlic in it. Sooooo many pieces. Like a sliver of garlic in every bite. I picked them all out. The pasta and cheese were great though. For dessert I got the peach cobbler bread pudding and it came with vanilla ice cream. It was great! read more

Rick's Cafe is a gem. Located in The Westin (Lake Las Vegas), the atmosphere is upscale casual. The service beginning with the warm welcome of the seasoned host through to our attentive server was impeccable. The two meals (Seared Scallops and Beef Tenderloin) were perfectly prepared and the presentation eye-appealing. Dessert choices are creative and beyond scrumptious! read more

The buffet was ok, a little pricey for the selection and quality you got. The omelet was good and the guy making the omelet was a hoot and added to the experience. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful and I would go back for a different meal or maybe just order breakfast from the menu instead of the Buffet read more

Came for lunch on a Saturday. Service was fantastic. Had the Steak Salad, which was delicious. A great mix of blue cheese, tomatoes, and topped with crispy onion rings. The chicken quesadilla was very good, too! Crispy, warm, and filled with a great mix of cheese and chicken. read more

5 star service, 2 star food. I had the blackened salmon w/ Cajun lobster sauce, side of risotto. Risotto was amazing! Definitely order this side. The Salmon was extremely salty & over cooked & the lobster was cold, which was attempted to be disguised by a hot plate. Maybe it was an off night, but I would not recommend this dish. The outstanding service made up for this lackluster meal. read more

The hostess was great, our waitress was very pleasant. The food was good. It was a nice day!

Service is terrible, there was only 5 tables when we walked in, besides the initial sit down the waitress continued to ignore us even tho we locked eyes twice and I signaled her we were ready to order. If it was slammed I'd understand, but the place is basically dead. You just let a 20% tip walk out the door. Congratulations, you played yourself read more

Super friendly staff and delicious food! It wasn't crowded at all when we arrived. I was surprised to see only one family dining here and so many empty chairs. I highly recommend Rick's Cafe!! read more

Roasted garlic Mac and cheese had raw garlic in it. Was looking for that creamy sweety roasted garlic. Had to send back. Got a mushroom pilaf, took over 50% of the garlic out it too was under cooked. Taste is still in my mouth. Ordered lemon blueberry cheesecake. No base, a roundish blob of cheesecake filling, okay but not a cheesecake without a crunchy biscuit base. Staff friendly enough that's what saved it from one star. Consider other options read more

Horrible Service! We have been standing and waiting since 8:45 pm and YELP business hours say open until 10pm. This Extremely rude man with no name badge talks to us in a very disrespectful tone saying that they are close! No need to be rude. Kindness takes you a looooong way and rudeness gives you a bad yelp review read more

This restaurant is connected to Marssa, so it's all the same food but just different themes. This is also where you have breakfast in the morning. The breakfast will come with a buffet or will have a menu option. Just do yourself a favor and get the buffet option. It's the same stuff as what's on the menu. I didn't have a single bed experience when I stayed here. This place is mainly supposed to function a fast food burger joint...but in a high end hotel...it's more of just another restaurant. read more

I would give this place zero starts if I could . Me and my hubby were starving and decided to eat at this place since we were staying at The Westin ..... HORRIBLE MISTAKE! We should've known by how empty this place was on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered the Lobster Mac N Cheese as an appetizer and the lobster did not taste fresh at all & tasted like it was reheated. My hubby ordered the Rick's Hamburger and the meat tasted DISGUSTING and DRY even the bread was super dry! I ordered the Southwest Pasta and it literally SMELLED gross and Chipotle sauce tasted weird . We wanted to rush out of there ! The worst part is we spent $100 on this . DONT EAT HERE ! read more

Definitely skip Rick's if you're looking for vegetarian dishes or salads or gluten-free. The farro-kale-mushroom dish was 85% farro with tiny shreds of kale and mushroom. The Cobb salad was unacceptable. Gobs of ranch dressing in the lettuce and shrimp that taste like they've been frozen and thawed at least 5 times before it got to me. They are not good for gluten-free diets. We were told the farro was gluten-free but it's not. My date spent the night in the bathroom. For two salads and two green teas the total was over $50. Our server was great. Food came out fast. Even on a holiday weekend. They offered to get me a new dish or a dessert. I don't blame the staff at all. Please bring in a vegetarian chef to rebalance your menu. Please learn the basics of gluten-free service. read more

Not sure why others posted bad reviews, I really enjoyed Rick's! I came in around 6pm on a Saturday night of a holiday weekend and was seated right way. Service was wonderful and the food came out quickly! Mac& cheese was super creamy! Pretty and calm ambiance inside too. Will be back and would recommend! read more

Waitress was great and extremely helpful but food was all pretty bland. Steak temperatures were off. Hubby ordered medium rare and his center was less pink than my medium. Deserts were just so so and don't live up to their descriptions. I ordered peach cobbler bread pudding. Found no peach or cobbler about it. Just soggy bread pudding with the highlight being the ice cream. My husbands desert was just as lackluster and so boring that we can't even recall what it was at the time I am writing this. A $200 bill later and we are certain we will not be returning. Save your money. We found a better meal down the street for much less. read more

They were short handed, the fire alarm flashing lights went off the entire time we were at dinner, no bussing staff, the lobster Mac & cheese was more like watered down Kraft macaroni & cheese. The shrimp appetizer was 4 shrimps for $16. Haven't ever done them for dinner and will never again. read more

I guess I was expecting more because of the menu prices. The atmosphere was nice- and no one was eating there in a Saturday night. Should have been a tell tale to not eat there. But since we checked in the hotel and limited on options we decided to eat there. EXTREMELY overpriced. $50 bucks for a steak that was covered in sauce? If I wanted a Salisbury style steak I would haven minded. But it was to hide the poor quality of the cut. All gristle and fat. For $50 something dollars I was disappointed. After I managed to operate on the steak and get all the sauce off- which wasn't represented on the menu as a sauce covered steak ( I think out of a can) and cut all the fat off.. the 12 ounce steak was a manageable 8 ounce piece of shoe leather. My kid got Alfredo noodles. She's not a food critic but by her not eating a 3rd of it says it all. My girlfriend got the Ceasar's salad with $7 dollar chicken add on. I believe it was about the size of a nugget. And bland. She didn't seem to like it and left most of it as well. The Filipino lady was our server. She was friendly and considering we were the only table she had on a Saturday night-- she was attentive to our needs. We opted to not get desert there since the meal left allot to be said. My kid wanted Reese's pieces it of the vending machine instead of desert. $150 bucks and no alcohol? I get that we were in a hotel. But this place stinks for food and if it weren't for the location... No one would eat here. The calamari was good though. That and the server were all that were good. Ricks should be called Rick rolled. Cause that's what we got. Rick Rolled. Oh... the water was cold. That's nice read more

Service was 4 stars. We had a awesome waiter. Food was a 2. Due to covid, menu was cut into half. They have more wine then food. $42 dollar steak was not worth it. It was 12 ounces, Burnt with a lot of fat. No mash was available. Also tried the peach cobble and it was not a peach cobbler. It was more of a hard bread pudding without the pudding. Never had peach cobbler like that before. Wings was nice and hot and the burgers were huge. Restaurant was pretty clean. read more

Last year for Thanksgiving 2023 we had the buffet at Rick's Cafe. It was spectacular with plenty of seafood, sushi and many other nice choices including a room full of desserts. (Our friends who live in the area had indicated that the previous two years were even better!) So we were eager to repeat the experience of Thanksgiving 2023 for Thanksgiving 2024. We had a party of 7. Unfortunately, we were sorely disappointed this year. The dinner buffet was limited to one room and there was no seafood except for smoked salmon and shrimp. The other choices were okay but much more limited than last year. The dessert last year had been a room full of plentiful and delicious choices. This year it was limited to one table area in the middle of the room. There were a few good items, but most were mediocre and they ran out of some particular items. I believe that the price this year was lower than last year at $69.99 per person, so okay, but that didn't even include any beverages such as iced tea or coffee. On top of that, there was a service charge of 23%!!!!!!!!! Plus sales tax as expected. Due to the disappointment, we all decided that this year was our last year for this buffet and will be searching for a better experience for next year. read more

Best ever halibut dinner. Great asparagus with it too. Michael's service made the evening wonderful.
