Off The Strip Bistro & Bar

I’m in my 50’s, live in California and own a business in Las Vegas which takes me there very often. I stumbled upon this place not too long ago and what a find! I usually sit at the bar there by myself to eat the great food, drink wine and people watch. Lately I have noticed an exceptional employee who’s name is: «HEATHER» Heather is a bar tender who also serves food to anyone sitting at the bar. She is nothing short of incredible! And, I don’t just mean in the looks department either! She strikes up conversations with everyone and can yet handle everything thrown at her very quickly with a smile.
When in Vegas by yourself, or with a buddy, I highly recommend sitting at the bar if Heather is working!
Good Job Off The Strip Bistro!

Went here for a friends birthday party back on January 17^th. The place wasn’t crowded at all around 6pm. While waiting for the group, sat at a very nice bar and ordered a beachcomber from a lovely, kind bartendress. Once our group of 12 was in order, we were quickly seated at the back table, given menus, and of course, ordered another round of drinks.
We ordered so many appetizers that I can’t remember them all. I know I really enjoyed the rolled NY steak around asparagus. The giant meatball lived up to its name, the largest meatball ever seen by my eyes.
Overall, the food was ok, nothing out of this world. The drinks were good, and not overpriced for a strip location. Service was great, our waiter separated our bills nicely and all was good with the world.
I think its a cool place to go and hang out for a cocktail or three. Much quieter than the surrounding casino and beer pong place. I’d go back and try some of their entrees as well. Open 24 hours.

We arrived on a Wednesday night and had no problems waiting or being sat.
The menu was extensive enough. I wasn’t too hungry, so I opted for the mac and cheese. It was truly delicious. My friend ordered the chicken sandwich, which could have used more guacamole. On the dry side. The side chips were good.
Joseph was a great server. His assistant was on top of water refills and customer service, which was appreciated.

Popped in before a show. Ordered appetizers only but they were incredibly good; New York steak wrapped asparagus, sweet spicy glazed bacon shrimp and chicken crispy tenders. All I heard at the table was «ummmmm.» The Hand Muddled Margarita is a must order.

Our waiter Johm martinez was really sweet and attentive! He checked on us and didn’t let my drink empty before the next one! I had a bad experience at an upscale restaurant called bourbon steak… the waitress took 30 mins before we got drinks. But Johm amazing and down to earth. And he’s from my area La Habra, Ca! CALI LOVE AT THIS PLACE! …And the truffle fries were delicious!

We sat at the bar and Darin was so awesome. He had a great personality and gave us excellent service. Definitely will be back again!

There is something about a restaurant that stays open ²⁴⁄₇; the food is either crappy or the service is bad, or a combination of the two but nothing of that sort is true for off the Strip except for this — the reason for 3 stars and not 4 is because of the Unilocal offer.
If you check in on Unilocal,a free drink is offered with the order of one. Well, as a customer and visiting Las Vegas I assumed «drink» meant order one from the bar and and the second drink from the bar would be free. It turns out drink refers to anything made out of liquid because I ordered two margs and a tea and was charged for two margaritas but the tea was free. The waitress contended that the offer was not for two bar drinks. I countered that she was right that the offer is for Buy 1, get 1 free! She said no that it was for me to buy a drink and for my guest to receive the free drink. WTF? I had to get a manager to explain it to me but at the end of his long winded presentation on what a BOGOF means in LV he just said that the other marg would be «on the house.»
Now I will admit the service was slow but not bad, and the food definitely made up for it. I ordered the bacon cheese burger and it was awesome! The party was thick and juicy with fresh condiments all in between what tasted like homemade buns. The fries were also good and plentiful. I think that no matter what hour of they one hits up this place, the food is sure to hit the spot. But please read the Unilocal offer and confirm it with the wait staff so you know what you are getting into with a BOGO.

Came in and had the spaghetti & meatball, wow! It was amazing! The meatball is 8 – 10 oz. The marinara sauce was good. Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because they messed my order up. I’d come here again? Just for the spaghetti & meatball.

Ordered the beef stroganoff, it was Meh. Not too much flavor and for $ 28, the portion was pretty average. Won’t be back again. Place was nice and hip though.

Let me get the one star down reason out of the way here. Things were great and informative and drinks were fantastic. But when the bar tender changed after midnight, it was terrible?! I don’t get it?! How does one get to even be a bar tender with a job in Vegas and not know how to make a vodka martini!!! It arrived in an odd pinkish green… not sure how to describe it and was unacceptable. Each drink we had seemed to be different with each order which was a little disappointing.
Otherwise, here is the rest of my review.
Appropriate level of music and noise in this place. If you’ve been here, you know what I mean! Great sound system and just enough for ambiance. I was not sure if it was overflow from next door or their own but it was just right. Next door, the music is terribly loud and in your face like my fraternity days! So it was a nice contrast and mind blowing that these guys are neighbors with O’Sheas in your face fraternity house.
This place would have been a solid 3 star overall. . like your average run of the mill standard on the strip rip off Vegas joints but our waiter gave this place lots of character. We noticed that he felt out the guests and turned on the appropriate amount of professionalism or energetic Vegas vibe. He started with a professional greeting and service and when he noticed that we were actually here to party, he turned on the charm and made our night even that much better. He is very interactive with the clientele and brings this place up to another level of personalized service.
John Martinez was our waiter and he was informative, courteous, and attentive. If you wanted something, he would try his best to get it for you and ask. If they could do something more for you he would offer it. I swung by and found the place at 9pm and hung out for a while drinking and with a snack. Of course, we had to come back after midnight and asked to be in his section again to continue the great service with the after hours specials!
We definitely will be coming back to visit John again. Thanks for the experience and making the visit here a memorable one!

This place is phenomenal. Literally. We went for breakfast both days that we were in Las Vegas. The food is fresh and the pricing is fair for the quality. The service is also great; the staff really takes care of you and makes sure your dining experience is a good one. I would recommend their pancakes, they’re the best ones on the Strip! Don’t forget about the coffee either, it’s really good. Definitely worth coming back to whenever I am in Vegas.

Located right between LINQ & Flamingo. Hard to miss cause their sign is huge! They’re open ²⁴⁄₇ so it’s super convenient if you’re staying close by. Came here during the last bit of happy hour to grab a quick bite to eat. Ate at the bar and my bartender, Heather, was fantastic. Super quick and helpful!
— Ordered the MOAB (mother of all burgers) with well done fries: $ 19.00, ⁴⁄₅
Burger was super juicy and flavorful — made with sirloin. It was topped with bacon, onions, mushrooms and cheddar cheese; ALL THE YAAASSS! Seriously all the toppings I love on my burgers. The bun was whatever, a little dry for me. Also I asked for a side of ranch and was charged $ 0.75. Say whaaa?! A little annoying but worth it.
— had a ShutYour Piehole to drink: $ 7 — HH price; Canadian Whiskey & Pineapple juice.
UM, YUM! I never would have thought to combine these two and boy am I glad I listened to Heather when I asked for her suggestion. So simple yet so delicious! I don’t drink much and I ordered two before HH wrapped up. Prob not the best idea because I ended up walking around a little tipsy by myself, hahah. But it’s Vegas, so no biggie! ;P
Definitely glad I stumbled upon this place. Gonna be on my Vegas go to list for sure!

Bar type atmosphere with a lounge feel. The is place was a second choice for me and my friends when there was a 1 hour wait at Hash House A Go Go. To my liking this place was really great. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Yum Yum…
Pros: Location, Energy, Food
Cons: Server wasn’t present enough

Off the strip Bistro & Bar located at the Linq promenade next door to Flamingo. Great location serving great food. We got there on a Wednesday night around 8:30 pm, it was crowded but we got seated right away without reservation.
I enjoyed the enviroment and décor of this place and everything we ordered was delicious here… This place has a Giant Meatball that’s out of this world. I also had the Kale salad which was very fresh and tasty. My friend ordered the steak and she was very happy with her steak.
Only dispointing thing about this place was our server… Our server came up to us and didn’t greet us or give us his name. Just wanted to take order. He answered my questions about the menu, but was completely uninterested. Refilled beverages and food came out quickly, but never once asked if we enjoyed our meal. Also once we arrived and ordered our first drink I showed him the Unilocal check in deal which is free cocktail with order of a cocktail. So I asked him is this mean one our drink is free since we both ordrered one? He then said No, buy one and then second one is free. We finished eating and we are still waiting for him to ask us for the 2^nd drink, he comes over with the check wow really? So where is our second drink? he said, oh I didn’t realize you wanted you FREE cocktail. Really? Isn’t that your job to ask how I am doing and If I need anything else? Yes we did got our free cocktails after all but I wasn’t impress by our servers attitude at all.
I would have given this place much better rating if our server was actualy doing his job.

Yummy, yummy!!!
Am letzten Abend gab es zum Abschluss einen Burger. Da dieser Laden im The LinQ (die neue, erst seit 2014 bestehende Straße, die zum High Roller führt), ist und wir ihn noch nicht getestet hatten, war ich etwas besorgt, dass der letzte Burger für die nächsten Monate eventuell enttäuschend sein könnte, aber die Sorge erwies sich als unbegründet. Mein M.O.A.B. Burger war exzellent: beef patty, mit Bacon (über Hickoryholz geräuchert), karamellisierte Zwiebeln, Pilze und dazu Käse. Fast noch besser war aber die Beilage: Trüffelpommes mit Parmesan und frischer Petersilie.
An die Vorspeise kann ich mich leider nicht mehr im Detail erinnern, aber ich weiß, dass wir uns drum gerpügelt haben, wer die letzte «prawn» haben durfte ;)
Zudem hatten wir einen echten Logenplatz draußen mit Blick auf das Riesenrad und das geschäftige Treiben bei einem lauen Sommerlüftchen.
Das Off the Strip löst definitiv ein anderes Lieblingsrestaurant in Vegas ab!

We strolled around for a bit after hitting the Flamingo and found ourself at the Lynq promenade — very quaint area with a fantastic photograph store and Polaroid museum! Anyway, that’s another review.
We were famished and decided to try this place as it had high ratings. Most of the food is expensive, but they do have a sandwich/​burger/​salad selection that does not break the bank.
The atmosphere is sophisticated and sleek with subdued lighting, leather backed chairs, and a warm wood palette. The service was very slow, but the waiter was friendly and efficient and even stirred us away from the spaghetti squash.
We ordered the avocado grilled chicken sandwich (bunless), the protein burger, and the caprese salad.
The caprese salad was very good — the balsamic vinegar was thick and pungent, the cherry tomatoes sweet, the basil very fresh and packed with flavour, and the mozzarella, while not rivaling Tuscani’s offerings, was delectable.
The chicken was really good. Generous portion with a lot of guacamole. I had a salad on the side, but could have had the truffle fries.
And finally, the burger. Looked like about a third of a lbs of tasty meat with coleslaw. It had such a great flavour! Delicious!
So other than the slow service and lack of wifi, the place was great.

While on our way to LINQ wheel, we got hungry and wanted to grab a quick bite.
Out seating was outside with a pretty view of the street. Our order of shrimps and lamb gyro were both tasty and satisfying. The portion size was good and so was the service (but it did take awhile for the food to come in).

***************************** 1445 ***************************
Off The Strip Bistro & Bar is in the alley of the Linq Hotel and the High Roller, the world’s largest observation wheels. They offer simple and comfort food. Well priced, good service, and good for group. I was in town for a business trip and our vendor did a function here.
The Lamb Gyro Cheese steak, the Meatloaf with gravy, the Truffle Mac & Cheese, the Rip Sandwich filled with fried egg, bacon, ham, were good. Bu the Angel Hair Pasta with 10 OZ Giant Meatball is definitely a must try here.
Drinks were strong, service was good, a casual place to watch a game as well. If you want bang for the buck and getting greasy on your face on a game day, come here.

I’ve always heard about the $ 1.99 middle of the night steak special in Vegas but honestly, that sounded sketchy as hell. Even after a few drinks a two dollar steak doesn’t sit right. But I do love the novelty of Vegas and all it’s quirks!
My husband and I stumbled down the Linq promenade (which is a true delight and welcome addition to the Strip if I might say so myself!) and there we saw it… the midnight steak special… but this was $ 20. Now I can get behind a $ 20 steak! To me, that is a heck of a deal but still enough $ that I don’t wonder where it was before they cooked it. Heh.
Intimate restaurant, dark, mood lighting, great drinks, good beats, great service and wowza… the biggest $ 20 steak dinner ever! It included FRESH green beans and amazing obviously homeade mashed potatoes. This was no diner food, this food means business. I returned home the next day and basically told every person I know that when they visit Vegas, this has to be on their list. Stay clear of the buffets, walk past the big steak houses, take a break from the sliced pizza… treat yourself a night or two at this great place, you won’t regret it! We’ll see you again OTS!

Was hungry while walking on the strip and was desperately looking for a place to eat. Found this place after walking through the LINQ Casino.
Walked right in and was seated after roaming around for a few minutes. The place was fairly busy and somewhat packed. A young lady seated up across from the kitchen area and close to the bathrooms which was nice. I was looking to get some breakfast food but was tempted to order lunch instead. After debating about what I wanted I finally made a decision and placed my order.
While waiting there were two interesting events that happened. First, a loud crash of glass was heard breaking on the floor. That caught most of everyone’s attention and their faces all turned towards the kitchen area. I on the other hand was not surprised because servers tend to have to carry a lot of plates and glasses to various tables at a single time. A couple of workers came over to investigate what had occurred and I think they got it straightened out, or so I thought. Roughly, 10 minutes later there was another loud CRASH! This time a young lady came over with a very frustrated look on her face towards the kitchen, she was MAADDDDDDDD! She didn’t have to say anything but you could just tell that something was off!
Back to the food, it was good. It took awhile for the food to come but good. I had a CARNIVORE SKILLET! I believe that was the name of the dish.
The food was pleasing to me. It was not an extravagant meal but enough to quench my hunger.
However, the bathroom lock was not secure at all! That could lead to bad things if it is not addressed.

Comida deliciosa, pedimos um salmão e um meatloaf e estavam deliciosos! Melhor comida até agora em Las Vegas!
Ao todo como casal gastamos USD65, o que para a região está dentro da média!
O serviço foi muito rápido! Viemos no horário do almoço, durante a noite ele é bem concorrido!

Endlich! Normale Portionen beim Essen :-) und das in Las Vegas! Um die Ecke von unserem Hotel (FLamingo) befindet sich in der neuen LINQ Fussgänger Zone dieses nette Restaurant mit Bar. Wir kamen als Gruppe und bekamen gleich im Obergschoß einen schönen Tisch in Tafelform. Schön, dass die Fensterfronten geöffnet sind und frische Luft hereinkommt — nicht nur eiskalte air condition.
Speiekarte sehr umfangreich und teilweise europäisch. So hatte ich einen exzelennten Tunfisch mit Wildreis und Gemüse und perfekten Espresso. Ich fand es Klasse — meine Kollegen auch.
Da das Preisniveau und die freundliche Bedienung ebenfalls in Ordung war — sind wir noch mal ein paar Tag später hin; gleiches Ergebnis!

Myself and three amigos were wandering around in desperate need of some breakfast after a late night on the town. Unfortunately for us the first few spots we tried (Hash House A Go Go among them) were all packed with an excessive wait list. It was creeping toward noon, and our bellies were grumbling so when we saw that Off The Strip had brunch til noon, and no wait we went inside.
We were seated right away, but after that everything went downhill. It took a good ten minutes for a member of the waitstaff to acknowledge our existence. Luckily by the time our server approached we were ready to order. I opted for the two eggs with chicken sausage, and an iced coffee.
We all ordered iced coffees and when they arrived we were given a thimbleful of milk to split between the lot of them, and no sugar. Eyes rolled all around. Luckily, our food arrived not long after, and it was pretty good, although nothing I couldn’t get at a diner, plus it wasn’t much in the proportion department, and was overpriced (as are most things in this town).
There’s a reason this place didn’t have a wait: the service was abysmal. And the food was mediocre in a town full of restaurants run by culinary pillars. This place was our last resort, and I recommend it be yours too.

Das“OTSB” haben wir in der relativ neuen LINQ Promenade gefunden, die Straße vermittelt ein wenig Fußgängerzonen Atmosphäre. Eine sehr willkommene Abwechslung im Autofahrer-​Paradies Las Vegas. Das Restaurant/​Bistro selbst bietet ein Auswahl kleiner Gerichte, von Nudeln über Burger zum Steak. Die Portionen sind für US Verhältnisse überschaubar, für meinen Geschmack aber absolut ausreichend! Es gilt auch hier manchmal ist weniger einfach doch mehr. Es gibt sowohl Sitzplätze draußen als auch drin, der Platz an der Bar steht natürlich auch noch zur Verfügung. Das Personal war aufmerksam und wir mussten nicht sehr lange warten jedoch gebe ich zu, dass ein Mittwoch Abend nicht unbedingt zu den übervollen Tagen in LV gehört. Die Hauptattraktion in dieser Promenade ist das Riesenrad «Highroller» und auch hier empfehle ich den Mittwoch nach Sonnenuntergang, wir hatten eine Gondel mit nur 4 Personen und so konnten wir ausgiebig alle Aussichten genießen. Highroller und OTSB sind eine gelungene Kombination!
