I remember that someone posted about going to the Red Apple Grill in one of their trip reports. I was there for lunch on Friday, thought it was pretty good, and told the waitress that I was looking forward to bringing my husband there, as I knew he would enjoy it. She told me that I'd better hurry, as they were closing the next day. They are relocating to a poker bar on Sahara and Jones. If I remember that name of the place..........brain cramp.........I will post it.

That was me tater. I thought it was very good too. I'm glad they are moving in a bit closer to where the tourist can find them. Way out on Cheyenne isn't a good place for tourists.

I really liked the place. The salad was much better than I ever thought it would be. The decor was....well it was different. The employees were very friendly. The food was very good quality and pretty good quantity too. They skimped a little on dishes, but that's okay. I think it would be fun place for a group of friends to get together for dinner.

I look forward to trying them again at Sahara and Jones. Thanks for the update.

Tater,
Are they going to open right away or do they have to wait to get the place ready. We'll be there in a couple of weeks and I would try it if it were open.

Hi Tom,
The gal told me they were going to open tomorrow!!! She wasn't sure if the decor was travelling with them, except the plants.....the plants WERE going! Gee, I wonder if they had a Tater Sack sale........I could USE some new clothes!!! The food was good, and the china, usually known as styrofoam, but known as china, at least at Two Brothers BBQ in Ballground, GA, was indeed serviceable............and saves on dishwasher detergent. And you are right, JMT, the salad was good, and the service super friendly. I hope they are able to continue all that in their new location, which I STILL cannot remember the name of. Grrrrrr. I tried to call the listed number, to see if they had a recording on the line, but there was no answer. I'll keep trying to find it............

This resturant has a coupon in the 2004 Las vegas Entertainment coupon book.

Tater, I looked around Sahara and Jones and could not find the place. Knowing that their old location was slightly hidden, I thought I gave it a pretty good effort of driving though the shopping centers looking for the place. I found an oriental BBQ and a Texas BBQ place. I also found a Hooters and a Bra Boutique at that same general area. (insert joke here) I drove around that area so much, I got tired of passing by Popeyes chicken, so I stopped there and had dinner.

I'll try to find the RAG again later, once they get more established.

If you find out better details, let us know. I'll do the same.

Thanks Again!

Hi JMT,
I haven't been looking, but I remember that the hostess told me that they would be inside a video poker bar....name still escapes me.......and that the owner wanted them to provide the food. So, I guess when I look, I'll use my nose to sniff around video poker bars in the area......that wonderful wood smoke smell ought to be a pretty good advertisement.

Ah, that may help. There is a pretty big sports bar there. From the signs, I thought their food was hot dogs and pizza.

I was looking for a stand alone BBQ joint.

Thanks.

Hey Tater, I got a 5 year old update for you. <g> The old poker bar reference in the previous posts was a bust, but the Red Apple Grill is back. I had dinner last night at the Hush Puppy on Charleston. As I was leaving, I looked across the street and saw a Red Apple Grill sign. I was not hungry, but went over just to check it out.

They have been in this location behind the Pizza Hut about a month. It is next door to a bar called Boodles? It was probably part of the bar at one time, but is clearly divided now per the new smoking laws.

The owner/chef was very friendly. He said he has the same smokers he had when he was at the Cheyenne location. The menu has a lot of chicken and ribs on it. They are running a 2fer1 special on sandwiches on fresh backed bread for about $9. He was bragging about his burgers, saying they are 95% fresh ground beef and 5% applewood smoked bacon. He uses only top quality cheeses. He said he would grill onions and put an egg on it (at no extra charge) if you like. I see burgers for lunch and chicken and ribs for dinner on my short term to do list. Hush Puppy will be low priority for a while.

They offer take out and accept call ahead orders. Since they are sorta attached to the bar, you can get drink service, yet it remains family friendly.

The decor is not Gilligans Island theme. It is different. I was kinda excited and didn't absorb the atmosphere completely. Big red comfy booths and umbrellas come to mind. Come to think of it, cozy comes to mind. I did not note how scooter friendly it might be. It's is kinda small and tight though.

They have kinda funky hours.
Mon 10-6
Tue-Thu 10-8
Fri 10-8:30
Sat 4-8:30
Closed Sun.
I kinda think the hours are due to a limited staff. If they catch on and hire more help, I'd think they would get more standardized hours. I think I saw something about Sunday night football specials coming soon.

This place has a lot of potential.

Oh, I'm glad you found it, Joe. I guess I never looked across the street from the Hush Puppy.........or maybe it's been so long since I've BEEN to the Hush Puppy that there WAS nothing across the street!!!
The Red Apple Grill sounds like a great place to have lunch.....except on Sunday, of course. They had good food. I'm glad they no longer have that Castaways decor........I worried about dust (and maybe spiders) falling onto tables and food. Ick! Thanks for posting.

It's not EXACTLY across the street. Maybe I should define the location for everyone. 7006 W Charleston. That would be one light west of Rainbow. The cross street is Antelope. Look behind the Pizza Hut. The bar, Boodles is on the end of the building. Red Apple Grill is the next to it.

I had a burger for lunch today. It was very good. Their fresh bread is deli type oval shaped, so that's what the burger was on. No problem, since the meat patty is hand made and fits the bread nicely. It's a good size burger that would feed two light appetites. Or it's available in a double for a hungry person. I got a single bacon cheeseburger, waffle fries, and also got a dark chicken quarter, all for about $10.

I also found out today that the 2fer special sandwiches are also available as 1 now and a coupon for 1 later. And I overheard an order for a hot dog where there is an option to have it deep fried.

There's only two employees and they stay busy, but service is very friendly, the food is good, and the prices are very reasonable.

The BBQ there is smoked in a smoker. Then it is finished on a grill. So there is slight char on the meats. Sauce was served in a cup.

Also, the decor is big comfy cloth covered booths with red umbrellas.

wow put my name on this place! on my to do list.all i have to do now is put vegas on my to do list
