Rachel's Kitchen is a local chain of Cafe style restaurants in the Las Vegas valley. It is a local chain of eight restaurants with a past that originated in California. You see, Rachel's Kitchen could be called Debbie's Kitchen. The reason is that Debbie Roxarzade is the owner and founder that brought Rachel's Kitchen to Las Vegas in 2006. Relocating from Los Angeles to Las Vegas was a successful move. From that one restaurant in 2006, Rachel's Kitchen has expanded to eight. The Town Square location is the newest. With all of this success I am sure that Debbie Roxarde's daughter Rachel, whom the restaurant is named after, is proud of the very restaurant that I am reviewing.
My first memory of Rachel's Kitchen go back to 2013, when my hiking and Yelp friend Christie. S brought me a Rachel's Kitchen Popeye smoothie prior to a Red Rock Canyon hiking adventure. From that time forward, I associated Rachel's Kitchen with smoothies and healthy food. Where I had since had several Red Rock Canyon adventures, this would be my last Rachel's Kitchen adventure until Labor Day of 2021. It would be a far less healthy adventure since the star of my adventure would be associated with beef instead of spinach.
When my brother and I spent Labor Day in Town Square, we were decided on a restaurant that served good food and would leave space in our appetites for Mora Ice Cream (next store in Town Square). That place happened to be directly across the picturesque park in the heart of Town Square.
Rachel's Kitchen is a Cafe restaurant with a casual fast food dining set up. In this system, you pay at the counter upon ordering off an overhead menu. The person at the counter gives you a number that you place on your table. The person at the counter transitions to a server that brings the food to the table and will wipe it down. As far as beverages, you serve yourself.
From the moment that I walked inside this modern restaurant with clean spread out tables, the enthusiastic woman at the counter greeted my brother and I. Throughout the visit, the staff was friendly. Disheartingly, my brother and I were the only ones that tipped the friendly woman who brought out the food and bused the table.
As soon as I saw the outside menu, my eyes saw plenty of choices including breakfast, smoothies, Peet's Coffee, wraps, pasta, wine, gourmet sandwiches, salads, burgers, and more. I was decided on the Sautéed mushroom burger.
Costing $10.50 before taxes, it was a 1/3 pound burger loaded with mushrooms on top of melting Swiss cheese complemented by romaine lettuce and tomatoes between to toasty buns. It came with fries. I am in a unique situation to review this Burger because my last restaurant review discusses a mushroom burger in Red Robin (if I pen a review update on Red Robin that can change the review sequence). Between the two the Rachel's Kitchen mushroom burger was the winner. I felt that the tomatoes and romaine lettuce that Rachel's Kitchen added to a juicier burger brought it over the finish line. Although the fries weren't unlimited like they are in Red Robin, they were just as good. Unlimited fries would not serve me well since I wanted to save my appetite for Mora's Ice Cream. Complementing the food, I paid $3 plus tax for a large cup of a bottomless fountain Coke product.
Over half a decade of being impressed with a Rachel's Kitchen smoothie, I was impressed with their burger. A good impression of Rachel's Kitchen makes for a high possibility of returning to one of their locations for an eating adventure in the future.
