- Binion's Cafe looks like the quintessential casino cafe. Inviting, no nonsense, with a generally accessible menu. I haven't been to Binion's Cafe before but I've been to several casino cafes like this before so I'm looking forward to trying a lot of food because
Every restaurant is a buffet if you're willing to pay

I went to Binions about 12 years ago. Their chicken fried steak was $4.95 and it is still one of my most memorable meals in Vegas to this day. Thanks for showing it :)
That is awesome! I wish it was still that price lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video, Shin. My first meal on my first trip back in 1992 was at Binion's Cafe, which was in the basement. I need to go back there for old times sake.
That's awesome! The history of that cafe is interesting! I didn't know it was in the basement before. Thanks for watching!
Congrats on the 25k.....
Thank you!!
my friend congratulations on your success ,i love your channel and weekly updates , the food looked great ,thank you for all you do
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
@@VegaswithShin thank you my friend
Another great review, Shin! I've eaten there a few times while staying at the Golden Nugget and walking over. I've always had very friendly service staff there and the cafe is properly managed. I also appreciate that you are reviewing all types of Vegas restaurants not just fine dining! Well done.
Three staff at Binions Cafe were all great. Very friendly and solid service. Glad you like the non fine dining videos! I have an expressed goal to video every restaurant on the Vegas strip and downtown so we're going to see everything on this channel. Thanks for watching!
Mmmmmm that tuna melt is calling to me!!!! Thank you again for a honest review!
It is a very good tuna melt! Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
You're the only food reviewer amongst the ones I watch, that gives the benefit of the doubt that somethings are meant to be seasoned to taste at table with s&p.
It depends on the restaurant. I think locations that cater to an older crowd, one that might be watching their sodium intake and the like I imagine it's by design. An upscale brunch location serving unseasoned eggs and I'm more inclined to think they forgot. Thanks for watching!
biscuits and gravy looked divine!
It was very good! Thanks for watching!
congrats on 25k subs
Thank you panjo!
Your food reviews are very well done. Your on your way to 25K subs. Keep up the work!
Thank you!
We always eat breakfast there. The hangover burger and ribeye steak and eggs are our go to
I think the breakfast dishes are the way to go in general at Binion's Cafe. Thanks for watching!
I love the downtown series. Congratulations, 25k Shin
I'm glad you're enjoying! And thank you! 25k is a huge accomplishment for me. Thanks for watching!
Love your downtown videos! Have you ever been to Freedom Beat at Downtown Grand? I really enjoyed their pot roast and Nashville chicken sandwich. Keep up the great work of telling us where we need to eat! :)
I have not yet been to Freedom Beat. I'll be checking it out for sure though! Thanks for watching!
Food looks good
Thank you for another great review had quite a few hit and misses I have to agree the biscuits and gravy and the pancakes yum and the chicken fried steak looked great have a great weekend ❤
Definitely more misses here than some of the other restaurants I've been to lately but still an enjoyable experience. Thanks for watching Lori!
The tuna melt looked great, I haven’t had one in years.
The tuna melt here was really great! Thanks for watching Lucia!
Binions Coffe Shop back in the 1970s and 1980s was amazing!
Of course, back then it was Binions Horseshoe..
That was definitely before my time but I'm sure it was great. Thanks for watching!
Questions: Do you ever do this by yourself, or do you always have people with you? Also, when you do pay, do you guys split the bill, or do you just pay for everything
I do it by myself often enough and I always pay the full bill regardless of who comes. My friends just have to wait when the food comes for me to finish filming it before they can eat it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Shin ! ❤ Always appreciate your honest opinions !
You got it! I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Shin is wearing a Gray Shirt! Congratulations on 25K!
It's too cold now for my sleeveless lol. Thank you very much!
Love that place!! Had Thanksgiving dinner there in 23. Burgers are a great go to as well!
I'm curious what the Thanksgiving dinner would have been like. Thanks for watching!
Great review. The Ribeye looked very good. Also the breakfast pancakes and hash browns looked yummy. Thanks Shin for the solid review! 💯
Glad you liked it! I hope you get a chance to try them out sometime. Thanks for watching +
Hi Shin,! Thanks for sharing this cafe downtown. Lots of good ol' basics...I love a great tuna melt. Everything looked tasty but a little on the heavy side! We appreciate your reviews on all kinds of "eats".see you soon ❤👍🙏👏🍴🥂
Thanks for watching and for the kind words Diana! I appreciate it!
'More candy than flakey'...a better description of biscuits and gravy I have never heard!
I'm glad you like my descriptions! Thanks for watching!
yoooo shin can you review carbone pls!
It's definitely on the list! I'll see about pushing it up into next year. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin! Thanks for taking us there and showing the food. Karla in Cali.
You're welcome Karla! Thanks for watching!
They were the last $1.99 shrimp cocktail in Vegas back in the day. They were huge, served in a sundae dish.
I wish that was still around today. Thanks for watching!
Aloha Shin! It still boggles my mind that Binions and the Horseshoe are two different Casinos now. The cafe is so old school that oatmeal is in quotes. LoL! Mahalo for big words and big bites!
Yeah, it was Binion's Horseshoe for so long! Times change though. Thanks for watching Lu!
Thanks Shin for that great review! Always was thinking of eating at this Cafe but it was always too packed with people!!! Per your video it must be because the food is decent and reasonably priced. Maybe we just gotta stand in line and wait!!! Lol! Aloha!!!!
It was very busy when we went also. It only cleared out as I was finishing and it was later at night. Thanks for watching!
Back in the day the Binion’s Coffee Shop used to be in the basement. Went there many times growing up in the 80s and 90s.
I wish I could have seen it back then! Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin! Another great video. Your descriptions of the items are always precise and thoughtful which is much appreciated. Although the look on your face immediately coveys your likes or dislikes prior to a word being said. I hope you have great weekend. See you on Tuesday. 😀
Thanks so much! I hope you have a great weekend as well! Yes, my face finds it hard to lie lol. See you Tuesday Irene!
Store bought white toast is even reviewed!
We're relatively thorough on this channel lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. I stay and eat at Binions frequently and am always satisfied. The staff are very pleasant. 😊
Glad to hear you enjoy it, I agree the staff was super pleasant. I liked my time here. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a decent option if in the area
Agreed! Reasonable prices and decent food. Thanks for watching!
Good afternoon all from CA,
Really appreciate your commentary 😊
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Last time we were at Binions Cafe was over 5 years ago, and it looks exactly the same. A great place for a quick-stop, hearty and traditional food then off to gamble!
Thanks for the reminder that it's there Shin!
You describe it perfectly. Quick stop and good Cafe food. Thanks for watching!
This made me hungry!
I'm glad! Thanks for watching!
You are the best Shin..
Appreciate your candidness 👍
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Hey Shin ! So the breakfast and lunch chow looked great not bad at all if your on Freemont. Old style kinda diner vibe . The dinner menu I would pass on unless to tipsy to drive somewhere else lol ! Cheers. ❤
I thought the breakfast in general was the way to go here. But just some classic cafe food, it hits expectations. Thanks for watching!
Cool review. Tuna melt, steak frites, and chocolate cake look nice.
Yes! Those were some of the best dishes I tried. Thanks for watching!
Great review
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
@ Every review is great. Keep up the good work bro
Im a sucker for biscuits and gravy, got i try those ones
I'm a sucker for a good B&G also! Thanks for watching!
ty for the review
You got it Claire! Thanks for watching!
Oh Shin! I guess it’s too cold now for the sleeveless?? 😂
Lol way too cold now. It'll return next spring. Thanks for watching Jay!
Love Shin! Now, I have to drag my wife and daughter to the Horseshoe, next trip to Vegas.
I’ve been here several times. It’s good for quick meals that fill your belly. Lol I’ve also been here really tipsy ( don’t wanna say drunk, but…) it works. 😁 I usually just have the burger and fries. Use to be $9.99 or something, very reasonable. Have a great weekend Shon! 👋
I love a good burger and fries. Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Great honest and detailed review. Except for the Tuna Melt, I'll pass. I love a great French Dip. Binions looked petrified. A good French Dip should be rare to medium-rare.
The french dip really needed work here. Tuna melt was solid. Thanks for watching!
Been here many times and is always good. The service is very friendly.
My server was fantastic also! Nice restaurant here. Thanks for watching!
Not too bad. Probably the main thing I’ll get would be the ribeye steak and the chicken fried steak. Prime rib dip and the pork chops would be a pass and the chicken parm would be a major pass. If I’m in the downtown area maybe I’ll go here
Those would be my go to's also Jerry! Thanks for watching dude!
❤ Their breakfast foods. Chicken Fried Stesk looked really good.
I thought the chicken fried steak was solid too! Thanks for watching!
Looks like a cool Downtown Cafe! Since my grandfather and uncle were butchers (meat cutters), I appreciate the butcher shop there!
I think the butcher shop adds a nice touch to the overall theme of the restaurant. Thanks for watching!
Thank you again for this detailed food review on the offerings at Binion's Cafe, did you stop to visit the million exhibit on your way out?
Not during this trip but I've seen it before! Thanks for watching!
That cake looks delicious
It was tasty!! Thanks for watching!
Shin, you get a chance, do Chicago brewery inside 4 Queens
Coming sooner than you think! Keep an eye out over the next few weeks. Thanks for watching!
Ya' gotta' love this guy. WTG Shinster.
Thanks mafatone! Appreciate it dudeQ
VWS: Another stellar vlog for Binion's Cafe. The menu was quite expansive and from what I saw 👀 it looked very tasty. One of my favorites is Steak & Eggs and your breakfast was executed to perfection. Thin Pork Chops IMO are always going to be dry if grilled and that's why I prefer fried tightly breaded pork chop. Prices looked very reasonable too. Put Binion's Cafe in the Recommend category. Anywho, see you Tuesday Peace Out✌️ .
P.S. Sodas were a bit rip off-ish at $5
Very reasonable prices here at Binion's Cafe for sure. I think the breakfast here is the way to go. Thanks for watching Al! See you Tuesday!
First🔥🔥
FIRST COMMENT to the FIRST COMMENT 😊
@ ayyyyy let’s go🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️😊☺️
Thank you for the early support! Thanks for watching!
Binions cafe is great. There snack bar in the corner has the best pastrami or corned beef sandwiche comes with potato salad. Go every time Im there. Have eaten in the cafe many times
I didn't know they had a little snack bar and I see it on their website. I'm intrigued! I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin, great review. Are you a chef?
I am not, just a passionate eater lol. Thanks for watching!
Tuna melt for sure
Absolutely. Loved the tuna melt. Thanks for watching!
If you like chicken parm you MUST go to Bagel Cafe on Buffalo Drive❤️
I have them on the list. I'll check them out eventually! Thanks for watching!
😮 Wow...SMH...you haven't had misses in a long time 😤...the prime rib dip looked dry, the chicken parm metalic tasting could be from a can sauce 🤔, the pork chops was so thin ...the only thing I would of chose was the hash browns and the rib eye steak and fries....thx for another great review...have a nice weekend til Tues ❤😊
Definitely a lot more misses here than some other restaurants I've been to lately but still had a good time. Thanks for watching Jade! See you Tuesday!
I used to go there all the time in vegas....2 for 1 coupon in las vegas Advisor....burgers were great in the day
2 for 1 is especially attractive here given that the prices are already reasonable to start. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin Hey Shin I thought The Pub 365 at Tuscany was awesome pub food as was the Upscale Italian restaurant at Tuscany as well...The name of the place was something like Bistaca or something.Excellent place and priced right....give them a shot pal
Mmmm, I like sweet ham!
Me too! A good honey baked ham is always good in my book. Thanks for watching!
Love binions cafe! Cheap and good food if your staying downtown.
It really is a great spot for a casual downtown meal! Thanks for watching!
Hello 👋🏽 Shin😊
Hello Christine!
LOoks Great - !!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
“meant to be seasoned at the table”. What a polite way of saying it was bland and not properly prepared.
Lol. True. But there are heart conscious viewers in the comments who have appreciated the fact before. Thanks for watching!
You can see the cigarette smoke haze.
It's definitely quite smokey inside. Thanks for watching!
A lot of things are overcooked. Even the omelette! I am always a sucker for chicken fried steak.
I am also a sucker for a good chicken fried steak! Thanks for watching!
Binion's menu appears to have increased their pricing significantly since the end of COVID! Suggest reviewing and comparing Binion's food and pricing with the Blueberry Hill restaurant on Decatur Ave., near Arizona Charlies; And, Arizona Charlies Sourdough Restaurant. The whipped Butter served with the pancakes, is probably, "Whipped Margarine"! The Omelet looks very small. Amazing the amount of food you order and can eat! After viewing this review, will not be visiting Binion's Cafe in Downtown Las Vegas!
Not just Binions Cafe but all of Vegas got much more expensive after COVID. Lots of other diners like you mention though. Thanks for watching!
Tooooo bad, they have great food
Love the steak and eggs
I love steak and eggs as well! Thanks for watching!
saved me another trip 😉
I'm happy to do so! Thanks for watching!
I must have missed you trying the zucchini?
Oh I watched it back and I just forgot to edit it in. It was okay but the texture was lacking. Thanks for watching!
@VegaswithShin ok thanks. I'm a veggie lover and they looked good
Toast review 😂
Aiming for completeness lol. Thanks for watching!
I’ve never seen biscuits and gravy offered with ham on top of it.I like ham,but I think I would prefer the B& G without it.
I liked having it there. I could have some bites with ham and others without for some extra range. Thanks for watching!
🗣️ Shin Shin Shin We love u 📣
Thank you very much!
Those pork chops looked ..BAD Too thin, too well done, too dry..OTOH..that chicken fried steak looked really good. Thank you for taking one for us to see what is good and what is, not.
You got it! I'm glad to show off as much as I can from these restaurants so potential diners could see what they might want to order. Thanks for watching!
MAY 2024 ... ate here having a bowl of SOUP and a plate of FRIES. Nothing special. I figured the menu PRICES somewhat EXPENSIVE for a casino menu 😋
Nothing special agreed. Just classic Cafe food. Thanks for watching!
Didn’t care for their breakfasts, but others enjoy them.
It's middle of the road cafe food. Nothing too gourmet but I've also had better casino cafe dishes. Thanks for watching!
The barbecue place about 50 feet from there is much better
I'll be sure to check it out eventually. Thanks for watching!
@ very limited menu so it may not be best for your “ every restaurant is a buffet if your willing to pay” mantra. Similar to the BBQ place at Ellis Island
@Eatpinktacos27 on my spreadsheet, I have both the BBQ place and Whiskey Liquor Up in the same video and it comes out to about the same amount of food as my normal videos :)
Yeah ill avoid the dinners
The breakfast is definitely the way to go! Thanks for watching!
Nothing like actual Hash Browns; hard to find in Vegas.
I agree, real hashed browns are tough to find. Thanks for watching!
SHIN your reviews are SO well made you deserve 100k subscribers- you will get there! You should reach out to Joel Hansen and you guys can hit up GEN for all you can eat BBQ and Sushi 🍣!!!!
Thank you kindly. I'm already surprised to have 25,000 subscribers to be honest with you. That's more people than can fit inside the T-Mobile arena here in Vegas. I would love to do a video with Joel Hansen or any of the competitive eaters. Thanks for watching!
I actually don't mind my tomato/pasta sauce being a bit acidic and tangy.... Not a fan of the sweet sugary sauces...
Also never understood youtubers complaining about seasoning when they can just reach for the salt shaker on the table and add more....
Good review though mate
On what planet would a food critic not critique the seasoning of the food he’s tasting?
Acidic and tangy is different from the metallic tinge of canned tomatoes. Which is why I also say it could use baking soda as opposed to sugar but something needs to balance it out for my tastes. I'm also curious how any food reviewer could not talk about seasoning because salt and pepper is at the table. By that logic, every dish should come unseasoned and bland from the kitchen and no one should be able to say anything. That's a weird take for me. Thanks for watching!
Hiw much did younspend on togo containers?
I didn't get charged for to go containers in this video.
Was one of the sides simply a banana? lol!
Was it? Lol
Its probably canned sauce. Not fresh tomatoes.
100% they used canned tomatoes for the sauce. It just needs that little extra baking soda or sugar to neutralize some of that metallic flavor. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin I think a good video would be that you should try the Fremont Hotel and casino has Tony aromas and certain times of the day they have a steak and lobster special and a prime rib special and of course they’re famous for baby back ribs it could be a good video since there’s not a lot of Tonyas around anymore
I'll definitely do Tony Romas eventually! Thanks for watching!
Damn that menu looks older than you!!
Both of our spines hurt from old age lol. Thanks for watching!
it looks like a middle of the road place, on pay for takeaway ,doggy bags
Very middle of the road restaurant here. Thanks for watching!
Yqw buddy ❤😊
So critical..😬
Lol, this one had a few more misses than others. Thanks for watching Vickie!
The Pork Chops looked awful at the start. Nothing good ever comes from ones so thin and being bone-in, it is almost impossible to cook through without drying it out.
Agreed, even at first glance without trying it I knew it was not going to be great and likely very dry. Thanks for watching!
MANY YEARS AGO, BINIONS SERVED THE MOST DELICIOUS CHILE AND BEANS. THEY WERE EXCEPTIONAL.
I THINK THE RECIPE GOT LOST ALONG THE WAY???
That is a shame, I definitely did not see that on the menu. Thanks for watching!
Chicken or country fried steak???😂
I think it's interchangeable mostly lol. Thanks for watching!
check please!! Shin let's go to panda and get some edible food.
Lol, I'll always go to Panda Express. Thanks for watching Chubbs!
My favorite thing reviewed here is the bread. Usually after i have lost all my money at the tables, the cafe will toss me some slices
Lol! Or the tables could be kind! We pray to our gambling gods that the cards fall in our favor. Thanks for watching!
If they have their own Butcher shop they seem to fail with quality from your review.
Could also be the preparation, you never know where in the chain something could have been improved. Thanks for watching!
Not a place I will ever go. There are hundreds of better places.
Happy to save you the trip! Thanks for watching!
There are so many new places in Vegas that I see other food reviewers showing, such as AYCE seafood boils, Capon's burgers, many pizza hot spots, etc. It would be nice to see you be more current with the times and check out some new places rather than all the non relevant stuff. (An in-depth description of cole slaw and potato salad??) You and Katherine from All You Can Vegas are the best in the city, so pleaseee check out some spots that haven't been around for decades!
I've done an AYCE seafood boil and I was one of the first videos on TH-cam from Capon's Burgers a year ago lol... I'll be back on the strip in a few weeks and showing some newer options but I can't stand driving there during F1 construction. Thanks for watching!
