Review from Camille G.

We don't really drink, and bars are not our normal dining out picks - so us going here was a bit out of our norm.
I wanted fish tacos and the reviews on here drew me in. We braved the potential noise and smoke so I could have fish tacos (my boyfriend is the best!)
We sat in the dining room (all alone) and the waitress/bartender seemed confused as why we didn't want to sit in the bar area and a little put out, but we didn't dwell on it.
Well...in addition to the fish tacos (the menu said it came with only 2) we decided to get Carne Asada Nachos.
I barely remember the tacos.
The nachos stole the show. Wiped everything else about the place out of my memory.
Carne Asada, a spicy chipotle sauce, regular shredded cheese AND a nacho type cheese sauce. All on one plate. There were beans on the bottom, and some chips to work as cheese vessels into my mouth. I am normally not huge on verbal praise when eating out, as I am pretty shy. The guy who brought out our food, was clearly the cook, so I was gushing over my nachos to him when he came to take the plate back.
Since I went for fish tacos, I should review them too ;)
I was unaware they weren't fried fish tacos, which is what I prefer and really only order.
They were good, but I missed the crunch of fried. There was also a lot of cilantro and onions, and even with scraping it off, I couldn't get the cilantro taste off.

On another note, they don't have lemonade. Which I find sad :(
----
On another another note....
We went back a week later, because I was still unable to get carne asada nachos out of my head. They were still delicious, but had been made by someone else, somehow they were not nearly as good. i would get them a 4/5 on my second visit. But the first visit, the nachos were a 10/5, so they are still great. No idea who the master nacho maker is, but you want him to make them! -

So we went back and like we say on our show "always give a place a second chance".
Before we reviewed this joint on episode 71 we had to go back and wow we had a waaaaay better experience than our first visit. As with many places, you go on an off day and you have an off time. Our full review is up and I have to ad a star.
The girls are still smoking hot but this time they were on their game. We recommend the nachos. Oh and they have Wi-Fi, we'd go again whenever we are in the area.1 Previous Review: Show all »

At full price I don't think I'd eat here - but I had a Groupon. During happy hour, appetizers are half off - and that helps too. This restaurant isn't acutely bad, it just misses the mark.
Ordered the strangest nachos I've ever had, topped with shredded cheese, Cheez Whiz and this strange chipotle sauce (maybe a sour cream base?) that rendered most of the chips a sloppy, soggy mess.
Also ordered a grilled chicken Caesar. That was disappointing - the chicken breast was bland and the dressing was almost nonexistent. -

If a bar offers match play, we're there. The reviews certainly didn't hurt the place either. They had a "text and receive $20 match play" but they informed us it took 24 hours to put it on a player's card so we would get it the next time we came. That's a lock for repeat business.
We also had a http://restaurant.com coupon but it wasn't necessary during happy hour since all drinks were $2 and appetizers were half off. Everything is full price if you use the coupon. We ended up ordering chicken fingers, chicken fajitas and the carne asada tacos. Everything was just OK. I didn't really like the tacos since the salsa was already put on them and the beef was kinda cold.
Wednesday night was insane. All the regulars were there for the video poker drawings they do so if you're planning to play, avoid Wednesday between 5pm and 8:30pm. You will not get a seat at the bar. The staff was friendly and attentive.
Went back again last week on a Tuesday to redeem the free play and got a plate of the carne asada nachos which were better than what we ate before. All the patrons sure love their slots and everyone knows everyone else for the most part. The restaurant area was dead both times but I imagine it would be packed for certain sports events since the TV's are decent. The football deals sound sweet so maybe we'll try that in the fall.
They also just sent us another $20 match play in the mail along with a bogo entree coupon for signing up for their slot club. I guess we're going back! -

I've been to Sago's quite a few times and it's always been a great experience. The staff is awesome (especially Amber!), the food is great, a fully stocked bar, and the gaming is pretty lucky! I've definitely walked out of there a bit richer than I walked in more than once. This place is always on the list when I'm ready for a night out on the west side of town.

My Review is for the Lounge/Bar Only.
This place is the BOMB! We were looking for a spot to go watch Monday Night Football and a friend suggested Sagos for the all you can eat and drink special!! Okay sign me up!
Here's the DEAL:
$10 for Ladies: All you can eat Nachos, Chicken Wings, and Hot Dogs. All you can drink Smirnoff Vodka drinks.
$25 for Gentlemen: All you can eat Nachos, Chicken Wings, and Hot Dogs. All you can drink draft beer.
You also get raffle tickets for halftime and game end drawings for t-shirts, hats, key chains, bar glasses, and shot glasses.
The food is served fresh to you plate by plate throughout the night, NOT a buffet like I would have expected. The nachos come without meat and topped with pico, sour cream, and jalapenos and were pretty tasty! The chicken wings come in mild, medium, hot, teriyaki, and yoni kono. I tried the yoni kono and teriyaki with ranch and they were really good with lots of sauce and good quality chicken.
The drinks were served in short glasses for the ladies the bartender has a decent pour! The service was excellent. The girls worked together and we never had an empty glass or plate of food.
The bar has gaming and I wandered over to play some blackjack and started chatting with a gentleman that frequents Sagos and he said they take very good care of locals with comped food and premium drinks for players. Nice to know =) Again my glass continued to be filled with delicious red wine by the polite bartender.
Oh and I won a cute tequila t-shirt and 2 shot glasses in the raffle! *BONUS*
I think I have found a new Monday Night spot! -

I stopped in here to sample their menu at lunchtime--mostly because they had a Groupon Now! promo, and also because I've passed this place quite a few times while driving around--and was surprised to find this place.
The place doesn't look that spacious on the outside, but when you walk in, there's a bar area complete with tvs, as well as another room where there are projection screens and even more tables. The tv setup at the bar has 3 flat screens on one side, and 3 flat screens on the other side. In the other area with tables and projection screens, there are three flat screens framing each side of one o the projection screens, so that there are 6 tvs framing a single screen.
After looking around, I ended up sitting in the bar area, since that's where all of the patrons were hanging out. I debated about sitting at a table, but realized that I'd probably get faster service by sitting at the bar. It seemed to be a pretty happening place for lunchtime--roughly 12 people and one friendly bartender. The majority of the patrons were playing on the video poker/blackjack machines, drinking, smoking, or watching tv, while there was only one other person eating something.
It took me a few minutes to figure out what to get, but I finally decided to go with the fish tacos. They were three tiny ones, made of cod, with a salsa and other sauce drizzled on top, sitting on a bed of greens and flour tortillas. Pretty tasty and the sauce wasn't too overpowering and they seemed to put just the right amount on the tacos. Next time, though, I'm gonna have to get the steak or ceviche...decisions, decisions. To be honest, for the prices that they offered and the selection/variety (given the type of establishment), I was pretty impressed.
I've yet to find a place that bears any resemblance to Cheers ("where everybody knows your name"), and this place seems to be it. I think that I was one of two people that the bartender didn't know on a first-name basis. There are quite a few regulars that come here, and I must say that if I find myself in the area again, I'm definitely willing to try out more of their menu.
The only reason that I had to deduct a star was due to the service. I would have given this place 3.5 stars, but unfortunately can't give a 1/2 star, so I rounded up. Yes, I realize that I didn't walk into a restaurant (it's a bar/pub), but then again I do appreciate good service--not being ignored and attentiveness. -

Never been impressed. The service is hit or miss, and better food can be found elsewhere.

I was first introduced to here from our Flag Football League. Been here a few times since. Great place. Service from Amber, Heather and Aleisha are always top notch. We have been back a few times. Food is great as well.

A new benchmark has been set for pubs in Las Vegas.
In my initial review, I praised the amazing service and exceptionally friendly atmosphere of this hidden little gem on the western edge of town, but I also mentioned that the food was nothing to get excited about.
Well that has all changed with Sagos new menu. I have two words - GREAT JOB!
Moving the menu closer to the restaurants Baja theme, management has introduced a completely new menu filled with some great selections like fish and shrimp tacos, homemade pizza, a delicious chicken avocado sandwich, a new twist on the BLT with a tomato jelly that rocks and much more.
If you go, and you will, you have to try the Ceviche - cradled in what looked like a sea-shell shaped crisp flour tortilla, the taste is fabulous and the serving size to price ratio will fill you up but still make you want to order another.
Way to go Sagos, you guys have hit all the marks now - great food, great service, great atmosphere. I'll be there - soon.Listed in: Places I have to take you to., Best Happy Hour

found this place on http://restaurant.com and have been there five times in the past 3 months.
stopped in three times for their MNF special, sitting in the restaurant side. Stacia broke it down well. $10 for girls is a STEAL!!! $25 for guys is also a really good deal. i really like the hotiyaki (sp?) wings. the servers never let our drinks get empty and made sure we had food when we wanted it. very friendly and attentive. and i always won something in the raffle! ok, they have quite a few items and not a million people with tickets, so my odds were good. :)
the other times we just was at the bar and ordered food. the nachos were a hit. service again was great and very friendly.
i wish i lived within staggering distance of Sagos! good food with great prices, atmosphere and service! -

Had lunch with my brother today. He had steak and eggs and I had the chicken fajitas with a side of fries. My brother really enjoyed the steak and I loved the fajitas plus the fries were really good. Our server was very sweet and nice and never had to wait for service.
The only reason that they did not receive a 5 was the crappy Direc TV they had for college football viewing. If they could get Cox TV then it is an easy 5 stars.
Other than the TV, great place to eat with great food. -
Review from Sean M.

Excellent service everyone makes it a point to make sure you are taken care of. The owners are always involved day and night. All and all is a well oiled machine. Gambler's bonus is a plus here and they do extra promotions on the side of their normal gamblers bonus here.
People this is the perfect place to get your "Norm" on (play on cheers t.v. series). All joking aside, great music, atmosphere, food and service. I have lived in Las Vegas going on 12 years and have allegedly visited almost every nook and crany in the Valley. Far East to far West at least. This has to be the best spot I have found and actually enjoy my time off here.
Congrats to the bar and grill staff for showing such precedence. Just remember to pronounce the place correctly (say goes) and you'll fit right in. I believe it's been named after the wonderful everlasting sago palm also know as a wonderful house plant (cycads). Some people classify it is a cactus.
Have good times at Sagos Bar and Grill! Enjoy!!

Nice work girls (and guys), the service behind the bar is truly first rate. I truly can't say enough about the service, everyone is friendly and prompt; they are on their game.
I've had the Tacos, which were really good and the Ceveche (sp.) which was just ok for me, but I'm no authority on it either, so take that into consideration...
Overall the place is clean and inviting, the new machines are a nice touch too...
Check it out and tell me I'm wrong about the service. -

It was OK. NO ONE UNDER 21 ALLOWED!! The fish tacos were delicious!!! I had the jalapeno burger not so good. The waitress was very attentive, good atmosphere. It would be great around football season. HUGE FLAT SCREENS IN THE DINING ROOM!!
