So my wife and I are on the road house hunting and it is hot and we are getting hungry and want something cold to drink and a bite to eat. There in front of us is a tavern... Bilbo's Bar and Grill, and in we go.\n\nThis is a pub loosely based on an Irish pub, but more like most other Las Vegas taverns you will find. There was some sunlight streaming in around the dining room and the typical darkened area around the bar. At this time of day (about 1:00pm) the place is pretty empty, but we sat down and were soon greeted by a casual server with a smile and some menus. Before long we had our cold Ice Teas (nothing special but nice and cold) and were browsing the menu. It is obvious this is your average bar fare just kicked up with an Americanized Irish flare.\n\nKicked up with an Americanized Irish flare adding cabbage, corned beef and such to the dish. In some cases this is good, in others this is just more food. I ordered the Bilbo Burger, 1/2 lb patty (medium rare) bacon, corned beef, Swiss, and \"onion petals\" on a bun with garlic fries. As long as the burger is cooked correctly the thing here is \"what's not to like\"? It was tasty and satisfying and was exactly was described. My wife had the \"San Franciscan\" which was a turkey sandwich with bacon, Swiss and 1000 island dressing on sour dough. Again, very tasty and hit the spot in a \"that's a no brainer\" sort of way (could have used more turkey however). My side was that garlic fries. My wife said she could taste the garlic, I'm still searching. My wife got a side of Cole Slaw (creamy) that was probably made yesterday but was not wilted enough to dispose of.\n\nOne thing about the food... Hair nets. I am balding and silver haired and my wife has long dark brown hair. The black hair on my pickle could not have come from us. Hair nets.\n\nI can see where this can be a cool locals hang at night and therefore let me say I think it is a cool place. The service was exceptional and when you are looking at an average establishment that is a deal maker.\n\nThumbs up.
