The restaurant is in a nice little suburb along the McCarran Airport flight-path, but whilst in the restaurant, you don't hear a peep from the jet engines as they come in for landing.\n\nUpon entering, we found the restaurant to be clean and spacious, but a bit generic and uninspiring as far as decor and ambiance. It would have been nice to see a bit more of a \"vintage diner\" style going on, but, it's a diner after all, so I digress. \n\nWe were promptly seated by a nice gal. The server came over, and she was prompt to get our drink order. The biggest issues right off the bat was that she had such a Southern North American accent, that was exceedingly difficult to understand, and if one weren't from the Southwestern US, it would be nigh impossible. The same could be said for the nice man that refilled our drinks...Just barely a hint of English in there.\n\nThe food seemed to take quite some time, and my wife ordered a dish that came with soup and a bread basket. We asked the server if the soup and bread basket would be coming before the meal as-is normal for most restaurants, and she said \"I put the bread on table when meal come.\" We said \"can we at least get the soup then?\" She promptly went and had the soup microwaved, as we heard the tell-tale door shut and the *beep *beep as the timer was set. Not two minutes later, we had a hot, steamy cup of what turned out to be absolutely fantastic split pea soup. This soup was just right on in every way, microwaved or not. Perfectly seasoned, lots of large chunks of ham, perfect texture and just delightful on a cool evening. Loved every drop of it. Ironically, the bread came along with the soup, and it too, was fantastic. There was a massive piece of cornbread, that had whole corn kernels, a wonderful sweetness, and was really superb in every way.\n\nOur food was soon to follow. Now, we ordered the pigs-in-a-blanket for my 10 year old son, and it came with four MASSIVE pancakes rolled around sausage links. It was enough food for four men, truly. And I ordered a Four Threes, which has three each of pancakes, bacon, sausage and eggs, plus I ordered a side of hashbrowns. Long story short, it was a MASSIVE meal, and I could have easily shared it with two other people. The food was all hot and fresh, the pancakes are easily the best I've ever had (and I'm a pancake snob), everything was cooked to order perfectly, and the hasbrowns are mind-blowing.\n\nMy wife ordered a dinner, which was a \"grub steak.\" The meat was good, with fresh cheddar melted over bacon and mushrooms to top the beef. The mashed left quite a bit to be desired. They were obviously not homemade, and the gravy had a very \"freezer-burn\" type taste going on. It came with some pathetic looking corn on the side, so overall it was very \"so-so\" as far as the other dinners we had, and wouldn't likely order it again.\n\nOverall, I'd say if you want to eat here, go for breakfast, it's superb any time of day, and it's hard not to make eggs and pancakes fresh, so you will know that what you're getting is made to order, not frozen then thawed. And whatever you do, have as much of the split-pea soup as you can, it's divine.\n\nThe wait staff are mediocre and spoke very poor english, the lemonade tastes terrible, but overall the food helped to even out the experience. \n\nWe'll definitely be coming back, as I can live with a few little idiosyncrasies in order to get amazing breakfast food any time of day.
