Best Lunch Restaurants in The Lakes

"Eat isn’t just a notable breakfast joint; it’s considered one of the best restaurants in Downtown Las Vegas (don’t worry that you’ll have to leave the Strip: there’s loads to do down here). The casual space gets tons of sunlight (a rarity for a restaurant in Vegas), with an eclectic menu that focuses on elevated comfort food prepared with sustainable and organic ingredients. The innovative dishes by Natalie Young are on par with any Top Chef contestant (think thoughtful dishes like cinnamon biscuits, huevos motulenos, truffled egg sandwich with wild mushrooms and bacon) at reasonable, off-the-strip prices."

"Serving classics with a modern twist, everything on Eat’s menu is made with fresh, locally sourced, ingredients, opting for organic whenever possible. Order dishes like the Huevos Motulenos, Truffled Egg Sandwich, Black Bean Veggie Chili, or a good ol’ Shrimp Po’Boy. St. Louis-born Chef Natalie Young opened Eat in 2012 after gaining years of experience under her belt by working with some of the world’s most renowned chefs."

"Chef Natalie Young has put together a fresh take on breakfast and lunch with her Downtown Las Vegas restaurant, Eat. Based on her philosophy of eating local, fresh, flavorful food, Eat serves up delicious comfort food that is also good for you. On the corner of 7th Street and Carson, Eat is easily accessible from any part of downtown, and within walking distance of Downtown Grand."

"Not just a favorite because of its namesake beverage, The Coffee Cup Café serves up a variety of breakfast favorites including Huevos Rancheros, pancakes, omelets, burritos, and of course, crispy bacon cooked just the way you like it. They even offer Vegan and vegetarian-friendly options for those with dietary restrictions."

"In-N-Out Burger has a cult following of devotees obsessed with the chain’s perfectly grilled burgers and oh-so-satisfying fries. These fans will be happy to know that the family-owned company has five locations in Las Vegas, and that they’re all open until at least 1:00 a.m. The simple, unchanging menu offers the aforementioned burgers and fries, as well as grilled cheese and shakes made from real ice cream."

"This West Coast favorite is the one burger joint to cross off your bucket list. While the double-double cheeseburger is a guaranteed hit, tap into the secret menu: Get your burger Animal Style and even your fries, which includes special sauce, grilled onions and gooey melted cheese. It’s a three-way tie with the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shake so choose wisely… or all three."

"The final spot on my list of 14 of the best cheap eats in Las Vegas goes to In-N-Out Burger. Sure this is a fast food chain, but how could I leave it out. While you can find locations across the Las Vegas Valley, my favorite In-N-Out Burger location in Las Vegas is at The LINQ Promenade."

"But the lush 5,500-square-foot patio of this excellent seafood eatery, which sits a few floors up at the Aria Hotel, is a must-visit regardless. Chow down on delectable fish dishes like tuna poke with nori chips and buffalo octopus while listening to DJs spin top-notch tunes. As things calm down, you’ll feel a world away from Las Vegas."

"If you’re craving seafood, check out Herringbone at ARIA, the authentic Southern California dining in the heart of the Vegas Strip. Drop in to dine or simply to have a cocktail or two in its stunning and lush 5,500-square foot rooftop patio while indulging in outstanding seafood and listening to DJs’ choices of popular tunes."

"Farm fresh cuisine at Herringbone inside Aria Resort & Casino involves line-caught seafood and meats. Don’t forget to come on an empty stomach. A post shared by Herringbone Las Vegas (@herringbonelv) on Apr 14, 2017 at 11:47am PDT"

"Next on our list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, it’s anything (we mean anything!) from Milk Bar. Milk bar was created by award-winning chef and owner Christina Tosi in 2008, and it’s a dessert place that offers a quirky and romantic spin on classic home-style desserts. It’s just so charming and delicious, it’s really hard not to be won over by this amazing little gem."

"S. Sammy Davis Dr.Secret Creamery operates out of a trailer in a parking lot behind Reef Dispensaries in a part of town best described as the Strip’s backstage area. There’s just a small, small tent covering the window where you order and pay, so when it’s 1,000 degrees outside the process of acquiring the ice cream might feel a bit daunting, especially if there’s a wait. Stick it out, it’s worth it."
