Local Corner—Tasty Grill
4140 S. Durango Dr., 702-476-5556
We monitor all the national “best-of” dining lists to see if a Las Vegas restaurant or meal makes the cut, or to learn more about a place we might have overlooked. It’s rare that we run into an out-and-out surprise, but that happened when we ran across a list of “Where to Find a Good Cheap Burger in All 50 States” on the website Cheapism.com. The Nevada selection was Tasty Grill, a place we’d never heard of, so we went and found it.
Tasty Grill is a restaurant built into a west side bar called Putters. We tried the burger straight off and Cheapism was on the mark. Made from scratch and served with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles for $6.99, it easily ranks with the best in town at this price point. Cheese or an order of fries is a buck more and onion rings are an extra $2. It’s an excellent find, but there’s a whole lot more here than hamburgers. Tasty Grill actually bills itself as a Mediterranean restaurant and has a full roster of kabobs, shawarma, and gyros, all for under $15 and most under $10. The hot wings are big and juicy for 75¢-$1, depending on quantity, and Tasty makes a tasty cheesesteak (with Cheez Whiz) for $9.99. A one-topping 16” pizza is just $7.99. There’s even homemade lemonade for $1.99. Good food, affordable prices, and your first order is 10% off.
Tasty Grill is located on the corner of Flamingo and Durango about 10 miles west of the Strip. It’s pretty much a mom & pop operation that does things right. Come early and have a drink in the bar while you wait for your order to eat in or take out. It’s open 11 am to midnight daily and till 2 am on weekends.
