    Grand Marnier French Toast
    Michelle E.

    3.5-4. Ate here during my last stay at the Sahara. Solid breakfast option if you are staying at the hotel and even better if you have resort credit. Had the Grand Mariner French toast and a side of hash browns - the French toast was pleasantly orangey. It's pricey, but convenient if you are staying at the hotel.

    Got you -- Vegas brunch girl version: Came here for brunch and it was really good. Portions were solid (you definitely get your money's worth). The bacon was cooked just right, the French toast was fire, and even the eggs weren't too seasoned soo just needed some salt and pepper, It did start getting busy, but thankfully my group made reservations so we didn't have to wait. If you're coming for weekend brunch, I'd definitely recommend reserving ahead because this spot fills up fast. Overall, good food, good portions, and a nice brunch vibe. I'd come back.

    Stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Located inside the Sahara Hotel/Casino on the strip. I kept it simple with the grilled cheese and tomato soup, and it really hit the spot. The grilled cheese was perfectly toasted with melty cheese, and the tomato soup was warm, flavorful, and comforting.... exactly what you want for a casual lunch. The café itself is clean with a relaxed vibe. Service was friendly and efficient, making it an easy and enjoyable stop. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying bite that feels a little comforting and familiar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'd happily come back again.

    Grilled chicken breast sandwich with a side salad. (The blue cheese dressing was so chunky and fresh and OMG so yummy.)

    Hubby and I enjoyed having lunch @ Zeffer's Cafe @ the Sahara. Our server was Bailey and he was absolutely amazing. I think we spent more time in line than we did waiting for our food. Food was fresh, hot, and yummy. Definitely looks like a teamwork environment and everything is just flowing so easily and flawlessly. We will definitely be back! Valet service is always amazing Gary, Richard, Javier and everyone in valet is just wonderful. Alpha is an amazing cocktail waitress. She's very sweet, friendly, and fast.

    Really enjoyed my visit here. The Caesar salad was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The ambiance is also a highlight, with a nice, comfortable atmosphere that makes it a great spot to relax. The only downside is that the prices feel a bit on the higher side for what you get, but overall it was still a great experience and I'd come back.

    Chicken and waffles
    Camille Kristine S.

    Went here twice during a business trip and the food did not disappoint. We have this $25 credit and i used it for this restaurant to try it out. Food was pretty good. Ordered chicken and waffles for breakfast one day and then steak and eggs the next. I prefer the chicken but both were delicious!

    Chicky and waffy
    Allen C.

    I was out early and I walked into the Sahara hotel and casino, my first time being here and I found Zeffers. I was hungry so I figured let me check them out. I ordered the chicken and waffle which to my surprise was not like I thought it would be. First of all it was pretty big and in vegas more for the price I was paying. Second it was not like many places, served with some wings or drumsticks. It was a chicken large cutlet. I love the waffle, the chicken. Was good too, it just had alot of breading. My mimosa was delicious. Very enjoyable. I'd come back.

    The new pancake recipe.
    Jonathan W.

    We've been coming to Zeffers for years for our annual Las Vegas trip for pancakes. The chocolate chip pancakes have always been a highlight for us with 3 large fluffy pancakes and ample! chocolate chips. Wait times can be long on weekends but typically are pretty quick off season and during the weak. Service has always been fine. Unfortunately they changed the recipe since April 2025 and now I'm not sure what they are, but they aren't traditional pancakes. It looked more like a fried cake. There are 2 and they are 1 inch thick but they no longer resemble pancakes vs an actual cake. They had far fewer chocolate chips and didn't even come with syrup (although maybe they are fried in syrup? Who knows!). You can see the difference in the pictures. I wish they'd change the recipe back...we will be going elsewhere for pancakes after many years of Zeffers.

    Excellent service from Joseph! Food was excellent! Had a little problem with the pancake, but was replaced immediately. Located inside Sahara Hotel. Steak and eggs is huge! It's a must try ! 1-27-2025

    chicken fried steak
    Aj J.

    Ordered breakfast takeout twice from this spot while staying at the Sahara. Quick service and very tasty. The chicken fried steak with gravy, hash browns, and cheese eggs are pictured in my review. I wasn't the biggest fan of the hash browns (bland and plain). But everything all together was really good. The gravy was amazing and the chicken fried steak was very good quality (no weird pieces or bits). I enjoyed their breakfast!

    Breakfast
    Mecca F.

    Located in the Sahara Hotel. We were seated and met by our server. The breakfast menu is basic with no dietary restrictions options. The avocado toast I added salmon. It just needed more flavor. My husband had a basic eggs, toast, frozen potato breakfast. It's the sunrise meal of breakfasts. The restaurant was really quiet to be right outside of the casino. It's almost as if you get away from the sound. Noted it was a weekday. We did not stay at the hotel.

    Steak and Eggs, French Toast
    Rithin M.

    If you're staying at Sahara , Zeffers is worth the stop for the practicality. If not, it may not be worth the trip granted how many other great brunch options there are in Vegas. After checking out of the Sahara, my girlfriend and I had afternoon flights and we didn't have enough time to track down a brunch spot in Vegas before hand so Zeffers was our best option. The food itself wasn't horrible. It's average. I ordered a steak and eggs and it wasn't too memorable and my girlfriend's French toast was what you would expect from any diner. The food itself is a 3/5 The service was quite fast, getting us seated quickly and having our orders in without much of a delay. They were courteous to seat us at a spot that gave us room to put our bags down to the side which was nice. Overall 3.5/5. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here but a decent option if you're staying at the Sahara.

    Tamica J.

    It's ok. Giving 4 stars. It's inside the Sahara before you enter the casino. $21 for an omelette comes with hashbrowns and toast plus pancakes or $5 more you can get French toast. Service was just ok. My waitress Alexis wasn't the friendliest. Received a dirty glass of water, so check your glasses and silverware. If you want a quick bite to eat and you're in the area, it'll hit the spot.

We have dined there in the past and have always sat at a table but we came in on a whim and there was only bar seating, which was fine. But the girl bartender (Annie??) was extremely mean and rude to us for some reason. We were polite, didn't complain about anything, didn't ask to modify our food at all and left over 20% gratuity. When we asked questions she talked to us like we were stupid. Everyone else was outstanding. The guy with the braids and Frank were awesome and the Sommelier was really cool and was passionate about his wine list. My fiancé and I are both industry vets and we understand that sometimes you aren't always in the best mood but this felt oddly personal. Again, we have no idea what we did wrong. The food was exceptional. Some highlights are: Oxtail hummus: The best hummus I've ever had and the oxtail was cooked to perfection. Oysters: we did half and half of both options and they were both great and super unique. Banh Cuon: Usually made with pork, they use duck and it is awesome. The sauce should be bottled. Octopus: Perfection on a plate. Passionfruit dessert: So, so good. Perfect way to end dinner after some spicy elements in the food. Pandan cocktail: One of the better drinks I've ever had. We had more food but these are the items I can remember off of the top of my head. This was from about a month ago but my Yelp account was hijacked and I haven't been able to get it back yet and had to make a new one . So overall everything was amazing except for that one issue.

It's tucked away behind a pawn shop, which makes the entrance part of the fun, and once you step inside, the atmosphere is so cool. It's dark, beautifully decorated, and has gorgeous pearl details running down the walls. The vibe is upbeat and energetic, although it can get a little loud. I went with a couple of friends, and the four of us ordered SO much food: Brussels sprouts, Thai shrimp, truffle mac & cheese, salmon, lobster rolls, arancini... I think that was everything! Everything was delicious and so well prepared. I didn't get many pictures because as soon as each dish came out, we were digging right in! My favorite was definitely the lobster rolls. You get two mini rolls stuffed with lobster, and they have a little bit of a spicy kick, which I absolutely loved. The drinks were great too. I had the Mother of Pearl, which was velvety and smooth, while my husband enjoyed an Old Fashioned. Of course, we had to have dessert! We ordered the pot de crème and the peanut butter chocolate cake. The cake was HUGE--we ended up taking half of it home because there was more than enough for four people. The service was excellent as well. Our server was friendly and very helpful, especially when we had questions about the gluten-free menu. Whenever we have friends visiting Las Vegas, Beauty & Essex is one of the restaurants I recommend. It's a fun, unique experience, the food is consistently delicious, and it's a great choice when you want a memorable night out at The Cosmopolitan. I always enjoy coming back!
