The food is great and the prices are fair. I recommend everyone coming to visit here. ***If anyone likes my honest reviews, then please like my post and follow my google account*** -Thanks

Whoa! This place is totally rad. This place will throw you back to the 80s so hard you'll forget what decade you came from. They have great decor and props everywhere of every 80s thing you can think of. Even an ecto1 ghost busters car outside! Lots of cool stuff for sale from the 80s as well. They were set up for a DJ or karaoke, so I'm sure this place is a real party on the weekends. They even have a Nintendo and arcade machines you can play games on too. I was greeted by none other than George McFly from back to the future! It really added to the atmosphere. This is the coolest place I've been to perhaps in all of Las Vegas. They have lots of 80s themed food , drinks and desserts. I had the doc Brown burger and fries. The burger was huge, juicy and delicious. Even without the themes, this burger was worth it alone. I can't wait to come back and try more things! If you love the 80s, this is the place (time) to be! Come off the strip and Check this place out. It's not 80s prices but it's definitely a huge break from those overpriced casinos!

I have been wanting to come here since I saw it in Vegas last year - being a themed restaurant I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was awesome! My family loved it. The theme is also awesome and they did an outstanding job with decor and nostalgia. I will come back.

This place is like stepping back in time to the 80's. Everything was fantastic!!! Food was exemplary. Loved George McFly he was in character and so much fun. Everything is 80's. What an era and what a fun place to relive the glory of the 80's. This place does need a bigger location as EVERYTHING inside is for sale.

Was very excited to take my daughter here. Overall we had a good time. The restaurant seemed kind...dirty, overall. Sticky floors and areas, gunk build up in corners. The memorabilia is really cool, you feel the nostalgia. Wasn't fond of the lemonade, overpriced and didnt taste good. Also have that they only offer soda for a kid's meal drink. The burgers were good though. Probably wouldn't be back, but it was a fun little experience.

I'll just cut right to the chase here - you have to come check this place out. The vibe is awesome, and there's so much incredible 80's memorabilia. They've even got a couple classic Nintendo's you can play while you're seated. Out front there was the car from Ghost Busters too! The gentleman running the show was so fun and passionate about the place and it really completed the experience. Oh and let's not forget the food, the whole reason we came. The food was excellent and tbh would make me come back even if it had no theme.

Back To The 80s Cafe makes a great sandwich! You'll find them at University Square on Maryland near UNLV. Inside has several nostalgic memorabilia and poster of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Beatlejuice, an arcade area, pac-man, and special board games. The cafe has plenty of seating and awesome 80s music playing. I like their Deep Fried Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich ($6.99), it's delightful! The toast is soft, fluffy, has the right amount of peanut butter and jelly, it's deep fried, cut in half, and dusted with powder sugar, so light and delicious! They have thrifty ice cream. I opted for vanilla (1 scoop, $3.65) which goes perfectly with the sandwich. Other flavors are chocolate, strawberry, chocolate chip, and chocolate malted crunch. Service from George McFly is welcoming, attentive, and courteous.

Filthy. Everything was filthy, tables and bapkin holders and drink cups were all greasy! Nasty. None of the food was a described. The Monte cristo and the deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich are both supposed to be dipped in batter and then deep fried. And neither of them were, they were just thick, dry, texas toast stuck underneath the toaster, there was no batter.There was no frying. They have changed their milkshakes and they are half whipped cream and the other half is not blended well and they didn't come until after our entire meal was over at some point I had to go up and order drinks because we needed something to drink and we had still not gotten our milkshakes. They were out of ranch dressing, literally everything on their menu was supposed to come with ranch dressing. It's junk food. I've been here 2 times before and it was fine. I don't know what's happening, but now the owner comes over and sings a little made up jingle he that he did for every single food and drink Item on your table, it takes forever. It's embarrassing, it's not entertaining and it made everything Just really awkward.And he was right up in our food, and none of the songs make any sense. Also I spent $100 on 2 milkshakes. One order of loaded fries with nothing on them. Except for cheese Three chicken strips that we couldn't eat because they were filled with chunks of fat that were so gross, we couldn't eat them and a monte cristo that was not as described!!! Sorry but unless some major changes are made I'll never be back nor recommend to anyone else. :(

We stopped by here to avoid the strip the other day. I thought it was a pretty cute, cool spot. Food was good. Milkshakes were really good. Not very big, so if you have a group over 6 and it's busy it would be hard to get a table. It's not meant for big groups unless maybe you're going to the bar side there. I personally wouldn't go back, nothing was wrong with our food. I was hoping to find a quick spot off the strip to save a little money but we should have just went too INNOut. For 6 of us our bill was $125.00 which I thought was a lot for a burger spot. 18% gratuity but no waitress or waiter was interesting to me. So $18 tip but no server. Never ever seen that before but it's vegas. It's only for groups over 5. We have 4 kids. Technically the bill was $98 before taxes and gratuity. Cute spot, worth checking out, I just don't think it was worth the money when we could have ate on the strip for like $60-75 for burgers. They did have a veggie burger that was good you pay extra for a side of fries but it's a small amount (that was my other thing I didn't like) if you have to pay for a side of fries at least give enough for an adult portion. They had a cool dessert menu too.

I've been wanting to go here for a while! I finally got to go and it did not disappoint. I love the 80s so this is right up my alley! As soon as we walked in George McFly greeted us (as well as the Ghostbusters car outside).! You order at the front and pick a table and then they bring the food to you. I ordered the Monte Crisco sandwich and my friend ordered the grilled cheese. Both were a delight! We of course walked around to see all of the 80s memorabilia in both of the rooms. It was so cool. I feel like I stepped into "Saved by the Bell's" diner hangout! Super fun place! Take your time walking around and looking at everything. VHS Tape decorations and all!

The vibes in this place are amazing. If you are an 80s fan, you have to check this place out. It was so cool to see some of my favorite iconic 80s movies on the wall. There is a ton of memorabilia everywhere from the best of the best 80s shows/movies! They had old school nintendo games you could play at the bar which was super fun and nostalgic. This would be an awesome place to come for a drink and to chill with some friends. The employees were really nice and the milkshake I had was super yummy! Check this place out! You will not be disappointed!

Someone once quoted the 1980's as the Decade of Excess. Perhaps that is the reason so many places replicate the 80's time period. The time society exceeded the boundaries of creativity. An era when Enough was not enough. Because the boundaries of the human mind, was merely a zone we had just begun to venture.

Fun blast to the past cafe. Food was so so. Burgers and fries. The Tetris fries were really fun you can arrange them and complete a board. One of the waiters was dressed as McFly. He really resembled the character. We took pictures with him. Lots of cool posters, garbage pail kids cards, blowup and statues to look at throughout the restaurant. Lots of fun for the entire family. They have a cool Ghost Buster car parked in the front too. HAPPY 80's REMINISCING!!

Great mom and pop small business to support! Of course you can see the pictures, they are very 80's decked out so it's fun to eat here. Front room has more of a daytime vibe for families or quick cafe lunches. Back room is bar/dark vibes. Nice to have both ambiances at one spot. Food is very old school diner/cafe vibes. I brought my mom who of course wanted a milk shake, which was delicious! Wouldn't be surprised if they made it with those old school milk shake mixer machines. Food is not healthy, but it's delicious. Fries and tots were great - can't go wrong so get both. We tried a burger, no complaints - big, juicy and flavorful. Couldn't finish the whole thing. We also tried the meatball sub, also large with great flavor. Big meaty balls lol. Definitely go, but go hungry!

It's like a time capsule in here! I love the details that went into the decor. The George McFly impersonator is such a fun touch; each burger was served with a fun themed presentation by him. We even got to play the NES at the bar while waiting for the food. I gotta say... the patty melt I ordered might be my fave in town! I love how the burgers we ordered had two well-seasoned patties. I would absolutely come back for these! The Tetris-shaped tater tots are so cool, and they're nice and crunchy, too. There's merchandise around the cafe that you can purchase. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This rounded out my 80s theme date night perfectly!

Warp back in time to the 80s and boom you walk into this cafe. The ambiance is set the minute you arrive on property with the Ghostbusters vehicle and then as soon as you step into the cafe. The cafe is set old school and has a very retro vibe. The service was helpful, someone helps to direct what you do. You order at the counter and take a seat. Pretty typical restaurant timing. While you wait there is the retro entrance and a back area with the "Candy Bar". I love the two different areas. The food range is named after typical 80s references- what was cool was how it was delivered. Each item has a little reference that is performed by a worker. I loved all of it. Here is what we ordered: 1. Loaded fries: i loved the mix of jalepenos and banana peppers, in addition to that it was like a chili cheese fry. Pretty typical food and taste 2. Smokey the Bandit Burger- this was delish. Huge amount of BBQ sauce and unfortunately it ended up super soggy, but it was good. In addition to the burger we opted for a side of the Tetris Tots. The tots were plain and needed sauce and/or salt. 3. Captain Crunch Milkshake- this was like the best part of cereal- the milk all creamed up. It was delish with the nice crunch from the fresh cereal. Overall it's such a fun experience. The price of food is a bit high for what it is. In addition- the milkshake came out as we finished a majority of the food- so we never finished it and felt parched throughout the meal. Unfortunately the shake side was busy and it was a bit off in how it came out. But still delish- just a weird mix of how everything came out.

There is nothing like walking back in to the 80's. George McFly at the register to take your order. Food was awesome. What is more 80's than Pepsi and Orange Crush on the fountain. Food came out fast and even got a George McFly dance about the food we ordered. This needs to be on everyones Las Vegas stop.

If you're looking to experience a trip back to the 80s, I'd recommend stopping by "Back to the 80's cafe. It has items dating back to the 1980s from movie characters to bubble gum, as well as posters which are on the walls. The tables and chairs are multicolored giving you that 1980s vibe. The Ghostbusters car sits out front, which, welcomes guests prior to entering. I'd recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, it was tasty. It's a great cool spot!

The prices were great The service was phenomenal Highly recommend and this will be a vegas stop tradition everytime we visit.

Love love love this place! If you love the 80s, you have to come here. The ambience is everything! All of the posters you had on your wall in the 80s have relocated to this restaurant. They sell garbage pail kid cards. Scratch and sniff stickers on your way to the bathroom. They have life size Movie set items everywhere everywhere before you go into the café there is the Ghostbusters car in the parking lot. We have been here several times, this time we did not eat because we had already gone to dinner, but I wanted to show my cousin this amazing little gem in Vegas so we had thrifty ice cream. Chris, the owner is awesome! He was setting up for their college night. Wednesday night they open up the back patio and have a reserve section with a DJ. I will definitely come back and I bring all of my family and friends here when they visit .

We went here to celebrate a birthday party we made reservations and we got treated so bad we're charged gratuity on each and every check. Plus they were out of fries, mozzarella sticks and eggs. Charged us extra ten dollars for bringing in mini cup cakes for the birthday girl.

Whether your feeling nostalgic for the 80s or you're looking for great food this Cafe is the place to be. They have tons of memorabilia all over the Cafe including some collector items for sale. They have a bar on one side and family seating on the other. As soon as you walk in your immediately transported back to the 80s. The staff is very friendly and hard working. The cook is very good at what she does and makes every item to perfection and quick. Loved the song and dance from mcfly when my food was served. Definitely going to follow on IG.

Absolutely loved this place! The hubby loves anything 80s, cuz we were born in the 80s of course, so I had to bring him here. So many nostalgic items! Ordered the turkey club pastrami chili cheese fries and hubby got Smokey and the bandit burger. Also got a slushee and pina colada smoothie. Drinks were awesome! Fries were good, but the chili tasted like canned hormel chili. Wasn't the best. We both loved our sandwich and burger tho! Very tasty! Overall, this spot was great. The vibes were awesome and couldn't help but smile the whole time reminiscing about all the things we kept seeing. Service was great as well.

If you're an 80s geek like me, it's worth making a stop here. The nostalgia was real, and the food wasn't too shabby. It's basically a counter order restaurant. Place your order, pay, and the food is brought to your table. I was told that the bar is only attended Thursday-Saturday evenings, and that's when music and dancing are offered. We came on a Sunday and missed out.

Went Back To The 80s with a group of my girlfriends over the weekend. We were greeted by George McFly (the impersonation was so amazingly dead on). We arrived right after they opened so we were able to walk around and look at all the memorabilia before the crowd. You place your food order at a counter - please be aware that they add a tip into your bill - at first I was a little annoyed at it BUT I am totally in agreement with it now because when they bring you out your food, there is a little performance based on what you eat. I got one of the hamburgers and the Tetris tots. Both were good. It is basically diner food and as someone who is trying to be more vegetarian - the menu was a little limited. Overall, it was a fun experience and I will absolutely suggest going.

If you're in Las Vegas and you want to experience something fun and cool for adults and kids alike, visit the Back to The 80's Cafe. They offer a great variety of comfort foods from Hamburgers, chicken wings, and chicken fingers plus some really good milk shakes. The food is made fresh when you order. Everything tasted great and the sauces for the chicken fingers really tasted great. The service here is fast, friendly and really welcoming. They have allot of 80's memorabilia that everyone young and old will find really cool. This place brought back allot of childhood memories. Check hours before going. Enjoy!

Fun place to see. The collectibles they had were great! Ambiance was pretty good. Food was okay. They ran out of everything (no turkey, no onion rings, the beers we ordered) and there were only 3 people working so service was a bit slow. Honestly, the reason I'm giving it a 2 is because the owner/manager was rude and was very loudly disciplining the staff.

We stopped this place for lunch, as a huge 80s fan we were excited to check out this nostalgic spot. The menu is pretty simple: burger, fries, fingers, shakes...but each has a unique name paying homage to classic 80s movies. We got the burger and chicken fingers, a strawberry milkshake and two beers. I originally had the watermelon/strawberry lemonade but if I'm being honest, i did not like it. Our server however who resembled George McFly was kind enough to switch it out for me! Other than that our food was pretty tasty, and the milkshake was awesome! They do karaoke there, we didnt go during that time but i do think that a TV ok the other side showing 80s movies or old MTV videos would really add to the vibe!

The restaurant is cool. But if you reserve a larger group just know that the staffing is very light so it will take a long time to get your food. Also, the person that takes the orders, makes the shakes, and runs the food. So don't expect anything to happen quickly. Probably would not come back again with any group over 2 people.

This was a fun blast to the past place to grab a bite. It's not just dining but a full experience. It is a small diner type atmosphere. I ordered the grown up grilled cheese & ham and it was perfect! I love Texas toast and so that really added to the yummy of the sandwich plus, it was so cheesy. The best part of course was getting a song serenaded to you as I was served my food. The service was so fun and I can't wait to come back!

Food was tasty and reasonably priced. I had the Smokey and the Bandit burger. Husband had the Culture Club. We split a full order of Tetris tots and a Capn Crunch shake. Still have 1/2 a burger and 1/2 the tots leftover! The kids working there were very polite, friendly and eager to give recommendations. The collection of 80s stuff was fun to look at, music was great (of course, cuz if you aren't an 80s fan you wouldn't be here!). It was a fun experience and it was enjoyable to have the surroundings spark so many conversations about childhood with my husband. Definitely recommend!

One of my great fun spots that has Thrifty's ice cream. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is eclectic. It's like an easter egg hunt to look at everything from my childhood and try to see what i didn't see the time before. Some of my favorites have been the Rocky Philly cheese steak, Tetris tots, milkshakes and their Doc Burger. Definitely worth a visit when you have friends from out of town as well as celebrating a birthday. It can get very busy after 6 pm for the dinner crowd.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Talk about a major trip in the DeLorean. This place definitely brings you back to the 80's. Near UNLV, you can't miss it once you see the Ectomobile parked out front. You are greeted by a perfect replica of George McFly when you enter. There is so much nostalgia going on from scratch and sniff stickers on the bathroom doors, Old School arcade games (I am a Ms. Pac-Man addict), rotary phones, photo booths, Saved by the Bell decorated tables, Nintendo games, movie posters, 80's music, and so much more. The menus are lots of fun and all based on 80 themed movies, songs, etc. Once we ordered, George McFly brought us our food and introduced each one with their theme. I wasn't expecting that and it was so cool. We really got a kick out of it. We ordered the DocBrown Burger with Tetris tot fries, Ernest P. Melt, "Spaceballs" The meatball sub, and an Awesome Grilled Chicken Sandwich with seasoned fries. The food was pretty darn tasty. I'm not gonna say it was healthy...mine was old school messy and so good. Dripping garlic aioli and I loved it. The seasoned fries were better than the tots but come on-TETRIS TOTS! I had to get the tots & yes I did play with my food. We didn't have room for dessert. The only thing that wasn't 80's was the prices. Lots of fun and great for out of town guests or for your kids to get a glimmer of how great Gen X childhood was. Party on Dudes! Be excellent to each other!

The family hit this Cafe on our last day in Vegas. This was the perfect end to a fun vacation. The cafe is aesthetically on point for the desire to return to the 80s and absorb that nostalgia. I had the Splash fish and it was perfectly crunchy on the outside but it was moist as fish should be. Each meal came with a song, the staff dress to impress. I say a must stop when in Vegas.

Big shout out to my dear Yelp friends May A & Renee N for letting me know about this awesome 80's themed Cafe in Vegas. I always like to try new spots whenever I'm in town, and Back To The 80's Cafe was next on my list. I knew from the moment I parked and saw the posters of Madonna and Prince , this was going to be my kind of place. The ambiance is perfect with 80's music , cool posters, & fun decorations. After looking around I finally checked out the menu and ordered. As if things couldn't get any neater, George Mcfly took my order and chatted it up with me. I ordered The Rocky's Philly Steak sandwich with tater tots and E.T milkshake. I enjoyed everything. It was like eating at the Max from Saved By The Bell. The cafe is connected to a fun looking bar that has karaoke on Friday Night. I'm totally looking forward to check that out someday. There is plenty of parking out front Closed on Monday's I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're into the 80's vibe because this place is Bodacious. If 80's isn't your thing, you can just Gag me with a spoon.

Just picked up my daughter from the University of Las Vegas and my daughter was hungry. Normally we stopped by Aloha Kitchen but saw Back to the 80s Cafe. This place was brought back with my parents when I was 8 years old. The food is delicious and will not be disappointed. Its a hidden gem. Service was excellent and friendly environment.

We visited the Back to the 80's cafe located on S. Maryland in Vegas. When you get there it's like stepping into nostalgia, from the outside with the Ghostbusters car parked in the front to the cool door sign. Inside this quirky spot is a treasure trove of 80's memorabilia and posters, creating a fun and vibrant atmosphere. The simple yet delicious menu offers basic options and also vegan burgers, catering to various dietary preferences. What truly sets this place apart is the incredibly friendly staff, who enhance the overall experience with their warmth and enthusiasm. This place is a must-visit for both 80's enthusiasts and casual diners looking for a welcoming and casual experience.

Best 80s theme restaurant! My son is a big 80s fan so brought the whole family along. They have memorabilia brilia covering the entire 80s era from Pee-Wee Herman to Michael Myers! We ordered strawberry milkshakes, onion rings, chicken sandwich, patty melt, deep fried peanut butter and jelly! Everything hit the spot! Such a fun place! George McFly provided great service.

I've seen this restaurant/attraction featured on Youtube and was expecting, I guess "louder"(?), announcing its existence from the outside. But it's truly unassuming with their signage simply taking inspiration from Back to the Future. I think one of the things I watched had the Delorean car outside, but during our visit, it wasn't there. On the inside, it's completely charming--two sides, one with a lighter decoration (like old-school dining) and the other a darker decoration (the Beetlejuice side). There are many picture opportunities with cardboard cutouts of Star Wars characters, Rocky, E.T., Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, and more. It'll impress all your Instagram followers. (LOL) ;-) Now, the food. It's basic diner food with unique fun names. But it's all basic. It really is. I had the Doc Brown Burger and to be honest, it's absolutely ordinary--not mind blowing in the least--and yet quite expensive. Prices change, but whatever price is listed is just the burger itself--no sides (like fries)--and the portion isn't even huge. We also had the Monte Cristo, the Cheesesteak sandwich, and the grilled chicken sandwich--again, all ok and ordinary, but pricey. We also got an order of fries to share because I can't have a burger without it. The workers and servers are friendly and dressed in themed throwbacks. It's all very cute. Overall, this restaurant IS an attraction. It's not about the food because if it was, they'd have a much lower rating from me. If you want to see the photo-ops featured and enjoy that vibe and ambiance & are aware that it will not be a cheap lunch, give this place a visit. It's unique and cute and does deserve support.

Nice cafe with a somewhat tired 80's theme. The food was prepared ok but nothing fancy. Service was friendly and relatively quick. The decor could be refreshed with newer material.

Pretty disappointing this round. No one greeted us as we entered and even after being seated not one person came to inquire after 20 minutes of being seated. Even after we got up and inquired and sat again no one still checked in, so we left. Place was not even that slammed either. Disappointing given previous visits home this had been a go to for us. What a difference a year made in terms of service.

This has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat in Vegas. I love the 80s, I love good food, and I love being able to eat for a reasonable price. The Back to the 80s Cafe serves up all of this and then some. This was certainly a place I was eager to check out when I first heard about it, and I must like the place, because since I first ate here a year and a half ago, I've been back countless times, bringing several of my friends to check it out. The first thing you'll notice when you walk through the door is the decor. All things 80s are displayed on the walls. Albums, movies, performers, pop culture elements; the list goes on! During my last visit, we were waited on by a guy who was cosplaying as George McFly from Back to the Future (see the pics I attached to this review). Everyone in here is always friendly and accommodating; they clearly love the 80s and want to keep their customers. My visits are fairly infrequent, but apparently I'm in there enough that the staff seem to remember what I usually order; the guys working the grill and the cute girl that's always wearing the Karate Kid stuff (sorry I don't know anyone's names) are fantastic and always deliver great service. There's usually 80s music and movies being played, further enhancing the atmosphere. I'm happy to report there's more to this place than just a gimmick; it's not just an overpriced restaurant with a theme. Reasonably priced food is quickly becoming rare in Sin City, but everything on the menu here is quite affordable. It's the typical American fare with things like burgers, chicken fingers, and sandwiches, but it's all delicious. In addition to french fries (which are quite good), they even have tater tots shaped like Tetris blocks! There are a few spots in the place where you can sit, including a more conventional dining area with tables/half booths, and a bar area with high-top stools/tables, and of course, the bar itself. And there's plenty of great decor on both sides! It's also in a nice centralized location near UNLV, so regardless of where you are in the valley, it shouldn't take you too terribly far to get to and from here. I give this place my absolute highest recommendation. It's a fantastic trip back in time with affordable and delicious food, not to mention great staff. If you live in or will be visiting the Vegas Valley, put this place on your "to do" list.

Couldn't have been a better experience. Walking back in time in every direction we looked. Food was absolutely on point. Make sure to walk in the back sitting area. Enjoyed every moment!!

I ordered the Smokey and the Bandit burger on Michael Jackson's recommendation and the King of Pop really knows his burgers. I got a big, beefy hot and juicy burger with crispy bacon, sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, a crunchy onion ring and the garlic aioli was a perfect complimentary flavor. The staff is super nice, they got a bunch of 80's movie posters and other collectables on display and a couple of arcade games to play as well. I will definitely be returning and recommend anyone near UNLV check out this gem of a restaurant.

Place is 80's nostalgia at its finest. When we entered we were bombarded by 80's decor and music and welcomed in and given menus by no other than George Mcfly himself ( he was awesome)My wife ordered a simple Chocolate melted crunch ice cream cone of Thrifty's ice cream and I had the Doc Brown cheese burger and curly fries and a green apple Slush Puppie. When the food came out everything was hot and delicious. The beef patty was thick and juicy topped with quality ingredients and the curly fries were well seasoned. The green apple slush puppie taste just how I remember it. This place even has a connecting bar and they have karaoke every Friday night . I give this place 5 stars. Ps. Be careful bird watching George

The ambiance is a fun, 80s themed cafe, which reminded me of Saved by the Bell. The vibrant colors selected for their seating, jukebox, etc. gives you a nostalgic feeling that you're back in time. The servers dress the part and also have the 80s style hair. Sometimes they will sing and dance for you when they bring out your food. This spot is fun to check out. I came during the day and it wasn't busy, but it would be fun to check it out at night and come to the bar on the other side. The food was alright. They serve the basic American meal in your typical burger joint-- burgers, sandwiches, but nothing that stood out. I would come just to take pictures and enjoy the 80's scene.
