Looking for an immersive and unique spot to eat and drink while visiting Las Vegas? Diner Ross Steakhouse is worth a visit that’s filled with nostalgic 1970s retro vibes. From groovy décor to classic diner-style food and drinks, the waitstaff even roller skate straight out of the vibrant disco era at this themed restaurant.
Tucked inside the The LINQ Hotel + Experience, Diner Ross Steakhouse is a revamped dining concept from Spiegelworld (the team behind Absinthe) that focuses on high-quality steaks in an energetic, but casual setting. As soon as guests walk into the space, they are transported to a gritty New York City subway platform during the 1970s. A massive newsstand acts as a bar where guests can relax and enjoy tasty cocktails. Upstairs through the graffiti breezeway lies the dimly lit Diner Ross Steakhouse that features checkerboard floors, plush orange booth seating, walls adorned with era-specific album covers and New York City memorabilia. The scene is quirky and an instant throwback.
As for the food, start with the baked potato croquettes as an appetizer. The bite-sized cheesy and crunchy golden potato snack is irresistible and a great way to start a meal. The Delancy Deluxe Burger was a real standout on the menu. Made with a short rib and brisket blend, sour cherry aioli, Cornichon pickles, Muenster cheese, and savory gravy for dipping, the bistro-style burger was juicy, hearty, satisfying and simply phenomenal. The steak frites was also a winner. Served with au poivre sauce and crispy French fries, the Diner Ross Steakhouse version of this classic dish was tender and high-quality. The texture of the medium-rare meat and the seasoning was flawless.

Best of all, was surprisingly the complimentary popover bread that was provided at the start of the meal. It was extremely crispy and golden-brown on the outside while light, airy, and custardy on the inside. It was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to eat them again. It was a real treat!
The craft cocktails also pulls in nostalgic feelings with spirits from the ’70s and ’80s disco era, like the excellent Midori Negroni, featuring Midori, Italicus, Carpano Bianco, Suze and gin—infused in totality with green grapes. It was not overly sweet and the neon-green color of the drink was alluring—making it an exemplary photo to share on Instagram.
While guests feast over their comforting meal, performers like roller skaters zoomed through the dining room showing off some impressive moves. The waitstaff were also friendly, adding a welcome and personalized feeling to the 70s late night diner atmosphere.
Diner Ross Steakhouse is open Wednesdays through Sundays, starting at 5pm. It’s a place that is fresh for both first-time visitors and locals looking to try something new and different. With its 70s retro themes, you’ll have a groovy time!
