    Short Rib Melt (4/5)
    Randi M.

    We stopped by on an evening before 6 pm, before the restaurant became busy, The staff were friendly, provided good recommendations and checked in to see how we were doing throughout the evening. I ordered the cinnamon cranberry smash. It was fruity but not too sweet and seemed to have a bit of spice, maybe from the cinnamon stick. The short rib melt is a big sandwich. The meat was savory and full of flavor. There was a good amount of cheese and honey-ale house onions, which seemed to be caramelized. The au jus was tasty and thicker than most jus'. It was more like a gravy, yet tasty. The fries were hot, crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior. We'd stop by again the next time we are in the area!

    Ample side salad
    Heather M.

    It is very important to support local restaurants. This is one of them. This hidden gem is only year old, it was really nicely decorated and very well maintained. The bar area was ample. The bartender Heidi was very nice and welcoming and suggested we go upstairs and check out the outdoor area. It was a stunning roof top with nice comfortable furniture and a huge deck. My go to vodka lemonade was really good and the bloody Mary was just the right amount of spice. The braised short rib panini was really tasty and plenty for two people to share. The upgraded side salad was an ample portion to share but seemed to be missing something like cheese, carrots, croutons etc. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area! I give this restaurant 4.5 stars.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND Yesterday I lunched with clients at The…read moreVegas Café in Antioch; it had been some time since my previous visit. We arrived just as the luncheon hour was in full swing; however, the waitstaff seated us after only a few minutes and we were shown to a booth in the main dining room. The atmosphere is very lively and chatty; the restaurant appeared to be quite full but there was a wonderful 'warmth' about the place and the cooking smelled terrific. Our waitress brought menus immediately and took our drink orders; she was polite, courteous, and efficient. It was very clear our waitress was very busy; HOWEVER this did not in any way diminish her service and/or her attention. SHE WAS TERRIFIC. Our orders arrived VERY quickly and were hot and fresh; I ordered a chorizo skillet and it was delicious. The rye toast was loaded with butter and they brought freshly portioned fruit jelly for us, and not those horrible pr-packaged plastic globs. The waitress kept my coffee filled and my clients' drinks filled as well; she took very good care of us and never once made us feel rushed. I thoroughly enjoyed my luncheon at The Vegas Café and will definitely plan to return, very soon! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    Food is good. My favorite is chicken cream rice soup…read more I love their coffee. Service is always good. I was disappointed i ordered sirloin steak it was hard & not much seasoning. Even the knife can't cut it. I didn't let them know about the situation so, I ending up just eating my toast & eggs for meal. Ambiance is good. Try to get there early they are busy in the morning & weekends.
