McCall’s Heartland Grill

My husband and I are staying at the Stratosphere for the first time. We wanted a light dinner so we decided to stop in here as it looked nice and had 4 stars. The bread basket came out pretty fast, the bread was good and fresh. The waitress Mari was very nice. We both ordered the cobb salad with chicken. The portion was small and had very little avocado and about 4 small pieces of cheese it was nothing special. I was almost done when… yes a hair. Oh goodness I pulled it out of my mouth fast and then couldn’t find it or I would have told Mari. It’s a shame when that happens, hair nets is an easy solution.

My family and I ordered food here, my husband ordered the Bone in New York steak and I ordered Seafood Fettuchini among others things. We were so impressed with the taste and quality of the food and the portion. A+ customer service from the bartender, the hostess, and the manager. This is the place if you want a really good meal and great customer service. I was a very happy camper at work the whole night!!! Ice cream was amazing as well.

All my food was excellent except for the bread basket. The bread was cold& to hard. The beverages were great. I had the Chocolate Masterpiece. Also I had the triple chocolate mousse

Avoid if possible. The ambiance is alright and the wait staff is very friendly. They give tips on how to get free drinks and they recommend bars and restaurants. This review is however mostly about the food, which was not at all good.
To start, our concierge recommended this place to us. It was about 10 pm and he said try have a great happy hour with food and drink specials. I don’t know how he could work in the same hotel as this place and get it so wrong. We sat down and asked what the happy hour specials were and our waiter said well happy hour is 7 – 9 pm.
We ordered the sampler platter, our waiter forgot it, so I don’t know if that was any good. He apologized though and offered us a free dessert. I ordered the rib eye sandwich and was less than underwhelmed. To start, it wasn’t like any rib eye sandwich I’ve ever had, it was just a thick piece of meat on soggy/​extremely greasy bread. It was tough to chew and was not very tasty. When you order a sandwich like this you expect very thinly sliced, tender beef. The fries were just okay, a little too salty. If you ate in or around the stratosphere just take a look for something else.

Phenomenal service but mediocre food. My fiancé and I had gotten a Groupon for McCall’s that was for a surf and turf dinner for two which included a soup or Caesar salad, bread basket, dessert and admission and 2 for 1 drink passes for Radius Rooftop bar. The deal was great but the food wasn’t that good.
The bread basket was brought out promptly. It had 4 different types of bread and a sweet cream butter. The Caesar salads were huge and the dressing was perfectly tangy. The lobster was a bit overcooked and chewy. The steak was overcooked as well. We asked for medium and it came out medium well. Plus it was lukewarm as was the lobster and sides. The surf and turf dinner came with green beans and mashed potatoes. The potatoes though lukewarm had a nice garlicky flavor but the green beans were very bland.
My favorite part of the meal was dessert. Vanilla ice cream served on top of fresh berries and drizzled with a strawberry sauce. Perfect cap to our dinner.
Overall I think it was a great deal on Groupon. I think I paid $ 57 because I had booked it during one of those 25% off deal times. The atmosphere was nice and romantic and service was top notch. We didn’t get to use the coupon for the Radius Rooftop bar because they closed at 9pm but the coupon is good until the end of the year so we got time.

I was thoroughly impressed by everything about this place.
The Décor:
It was warmly decorated and the booth was very large and the table was decorated very nicely and had unique glassware.
The Service:
The service was Excellent and they seemed to take pride in their offerings. The waiter Mark made relevant suggestions and the experience was very smooth in every aspect.
The Food:
Everything from the unique bread basket with a sweet butter to the steaks and other entrees were fantastic. Everything was presented very nicely and made it seem like a very upscale experience.
Its an experience you’ll want to try

Purchased a Groupon for the surf and turf amazing ! Bread basket steak and lobster cooked to perfection ! Twice baked potato soup and Caesar salad was on point! Adolfo was our waiter soft spoken and exceptional service. It’s time for a nap I’m stuffed :)

We had steak, shrimp scampi and lobster, and it was all absolutely delicious. If you’re staying at the Stratosphere, this restaurant is a must.

Ok. For customer service I would give a 4, for specialty drinks and atmosphere, I would give a 4! For food, its just all right! The high points: the meat was perfectly cooked, the waitor was outstanding, the bar manager was fantastic! The specialty drinks are outrageous! And the calamari App was fried delicately and fresh with a beautiful dipping sauce that was equally fresh! The low points; the baked potatoe had been cooked beyond its freshness and it was inedible! The sauce under my steak had «broke» and separated which really caused it to taste like an oily version of grocery store gravey. And really to spend a hundred dollars on two dishes, i can think of at least 10 other steak houses in Vegas that are better! In short; You absolutely should come here for apps and their ridiculously awesome specialty drinks, you won’t regret it. But for a steak dinner, go elsewhere! I recommend Camelot Steakhouse. Have fun, be safe and enjoy

We usually go to Level 107, but they were hosting an event that was sold out, so we had to make alternative plans. Our cocktail waitress suggested we go to McCalls Steak House for happy hour. So we went. My friend & I sat at the bar & we were greeted right away. We started our evening with crisp champagne, which was $ 2 a glass during happy hour. We ordered off of the happy hour menu: BBQ ribs, Buffalo wings, and an order of steak tacos. Ribs were tender, wings had a nice kick and the steak tacos did not disappoint. Not the best food I have ever tasted… but was good enough to grant it another visit. I wouldn’t mind trying the rest of the menu. Great service, very reasonable prices (happy hour) nice décor & ambiance. One forgets they are at the Stratosphere.

While staying at the Stratosphere Hotel, it is super convenient that they have good restaurants to eat at down below.
I did try a few of them, but my favorite one was McCall’s steakhouse.
Out of the different restaurants they have to offer (like a diner and an Italian restaurant) this one was definitely the classiest with the best quality food.
Me and bae felt like we were on a special date at a five-​star restaurant. We completely forgot we were inside the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed all our food.
We shared a succulent tri-​tip steak, with really yummy mashed potatoes and a fresh Caesar salad. My Shirley Temple drink was on point, and I had three free refills lol.
We were too full for dessert, but I would’ve loved to try the fruity sorbet which looked really good on the menu.
Next time we are in Vegas, especially if we stay at the Stratosphere Hotel again — we would love to come back to McCall’s for a romantic date night.

I gave it 2 stars for the food & atmosphere only. The service was pretty good, our waiter Willie was pleasant & attentive, as were the Bussers, we always had full glasses of water and a clear table.
But the food here is very, very average. As is the décor and energy of the restaurant.
The complementary bread basket was so sweet. The butter with it was sweet. Since when has the preference been sweet over savory???
We ordered the Bacon & Jalapeño Prawns as the starter, sitting in a gigantic puddle of BBQ sauce which at first impressions wasn’t very appealing. However to our surprise it was good, apart from the fact the sauce tasted like McDonald’s BBQ sauce.
We shared the St Louis Ribs dish and the Cajun Chicken & Sausage Pasta.
The Ribs although were cooked well, had the worst flavored, sickly sweet sauce that almost reminded me of some kind of teriyaki sauce with a bunch of chillies thrown in there. It was slightly more edible when you scrapped the excess off with your knife.
To be honest I would have preferred the McDonald’s flavored sauce instead.
It came with nothing but some decoration slithers of potato. Who serves ribs with no sides? Rip off.
The pasta was ok. Nothing Cajun about it but as far as pastas go it was ok. Perhaps renaming it would be better? The fresh basil was a nice touch though.
No wonder they were so quiet on a Friday night.

Great spot to grab a seat at the bar and watch the sports ball. They have good happy hour specials, including $ 3 wells and discounts on their appetizers. We had wings and tacos, and they were good. The salads were pricey for their size (about $ 9 for 2 cups of caesar salad), but the greens were fresh at least. Service got a little weird after what was perhaps the manager showed up and the place got a little busier. I’d still go back if I were in the area and wanted to get a casual cheap meal inside the casino.

This review is based solely on my experience at the bar, not the restaurant…
I showed up around 10:15 PM on a Thursday night, about 45 minutes before closing so the hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the table for one in the bar area or if I wanted to sit at the bar. Since I don’t drink, I opted to sit at the table. I looked the menu over and wasn’t sure what I wanted.
Elijah, the bartender, noticed I was sitting there and came up to ask if I wanted anything to drink so I asked for a virgin piña colada. He went to make my drink and came back a few minutes later. I totally forgot to tell him I dislike whip cream so I asked if he could just scoop it out for me, which he said «I’ll just make you a new one.» I told him it wasn’t necessary, but he did it any way. He told me that it would be better if I moved to the bar so I did…
I told him I wasn’t too hungry so he recommended that I just order an appetizer. He said the applewood bacon wrap shrimp was a good choice and he was not wrong. It was very good!
But I like varieties, and who doesn’t, so I decided to order the beef tenderloin quesadilla as well; however, this appetizer was a bit of a let down because it was dry and not really what I had in mind taste-​wise. I took a few bites and he noticed that I didn’t look too impressed so he asked if he could take it off my bill. I told him I was fine paying for it since it was my own choice to order it. He kept insisting on taking it off my bill, but finally after I said «no» multiple times, he just paid for my drink. Which was very sweet of him.
I appreciate great service even when the food doesn’t always live up to my expectations. He asked me to come back on Sunday night because he was off on Friday & Saturday, so he can make it up to me for the quesadilla not living up to my expectations. I told him it wasn’t like he was the chef so he doesn’t have to make anything up to me. Lol
But I did return on Sunday night at around 11 PM, after I had finished having my late night dinner at a nearby Thai restaurant. He asked me what I wanted to drink and I told him to make me anything that has zero alcohol. He made me some kind of mixed drink which I asked him what the name was. He said it didn’t have a real name because he just made it for me so we jokingly called it a «Sivilay». Lol
Even though I’m not a drinker nor do I ever frequent a bar, I would come back here just because of the wonderful service… and order a «Sivilay» just because I feel so special to have my own drink. Hahaha
The minus 1 star is based solely on the quesadilla being a let down… nothing personal Elijah!

We had a long day on the strip and decided to go to the Stratosphere. We stumbled to this restaurant to meet my cousins who live in Vegas for a quick dinner. They hadnt met my fiancé before. I had the salmon, fiancé had the filet mignon, and cousin and his wife had salads because they had a big late lunch. My salmon was great-​the sauce was impeccable. My fiancé had asked the waiter for his filet mignon to be butterflied and when the entrees showed it up it was not. He mentioned it to the waiter very kindly and our waiter apologized and said that he did forget. I would come here again I really liked my salmon. The filet however looked overcooked and dry.

Two small lobster tail $ 34, but I enjoyed every minute of eatting those small lobster tails. lol

First time visiting this restaurant. Fast and friendly service even though the food tasted good it was served warm. I will give it a second chance next time I visit

Enjoyed a Rib Eye tonite. The meat was high quality and cooked just the way I like it.
I, for some reason I had thought that this was a formal dining restaurant.

I just found a gem of a restaurant hidden in plain sight, and it is McCall’s Heartland Grill. Comfortable and appealing to look at in a contemporary dining room, and at the lower end of Strip restaurant prices, the food was well executed and delicious. A complimentary Bread Basket contained a variety of baked goods, including a cute miniature roll, cheesy cracker-​style bread, and a spicy breadstick, along with both regular butter and a tin of wonderful sweet butter. An ordered appetizer of very good hot Bacon-​wrapped Prawns furnished something else tasty to eat.
A very good small ceramic vat of French Onion Soup Gratinee au Gratin featuring well-​caramelized onions and an ample topping of well-​melted Gruyère Cheese was next up for me, while Diane loved her cup of Potato Soup, the soup du jour. A service error resulted in presentation of a rather large Chopped Salad to me and one of my table mates, although we had both requested a Garden Salad, which was $ 4.00 cheaper and I assume less bountiful. Plus, I had requested Orange Miso Dressing, and just before arrival of our entrees our server apologetically informed me that he was informed that no such dressing was available this night, and neglected to tell me earlier because of waiting on another table. So, quite belatedly I selected Bleu Cheese Dressing instead. But now, as a direct result of the delay in alerting me about the need to select a different salad dressing, a Chopped Salad was laid before me only about 2 minutes ahead of the entrée, and I had to eat my salad concurrently with a Loaded Baked Potato and an 8 oz. Charred Filet Mignon. Moreover, because no one in my party had ever eaten here before, we did not know what the restaurant’s version of a Garden Salad looked like.
But the more complex Chopped Salad that I was served was impressive, including thin Potato Sticks, wedges of avocado, Black Olive halves, pieces of tomato, mushrooms, mixed greens, and a creamy Bleu Cheese Dressing. And my Baked Potato with butter, chives, and pieces of actual bacon was well prepared.
As for my Charred Filet, I asked that it be only lightly charred and cooked medium rare, and my wishes were fulfilled on both counts. With a deep-​fried mushroom on top and deep-​fried Onion Ring on the bottom, the steak was buttery and excellent in all respects, and further enhanced by an off-​menu specially requested drinkable Bearnaise Sauce, Mushroom Sauce, and Red Wine Reduction Sauce.
When the checks came, they each listed a Chopped Salad rather than the less expensive Garden Salad, but the manager changed the charges to reflect what we had actually ordered instead of what we unwittingly ate, which was a nice but probably appropriate gesture. Service was otherwise sound and attentive.
I will definitely return here – sooner rather than later. 4−½ earned stars overall!

Dinner at McCall’s Heartland Grill was a great start to a fun evening at the Stratosphere. When I was here in May to see Pin Up, I walked around the casino to see if anything had changed because I hadn’t been to the Stratosphere in many years. As I was walking around, McCall’s caught my eye. I didn’t see a menu outside but I checked it out when I got home. Since I had a ticket to see Frankie Moreno last night, I made a reservation at McCall’s to give the place a try.
I started out getting the PBB&J crostini, something I’d read in Unilocal reviews. How could I resist? It’s 4 slices of toasted baguette with peanut butter, bacon, bleu cheese and drizzled with jalapeño jelly on a bed of some shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, red onion, and some red bell pepper. It is excellent and what a different start to a meal. The only thing I’d do differently is to up the jalapeño in the jelly and give it some kick. The appetizer was delightful! While eating the crostini, a server brought the bread basket. Wow! What a selection! I had one cheese stick because I had enough bread with the crostini and I didn’t want to fill up on bread.
For the main course, I got the coffee rubbed NY Strip steak with bleu cheese butter. I got a side of their cheese croquettes. The steak was done perfectly, charred on the outside, blue on the inside. The cheese croquettes were good but I would have used more cheese or a stronger cheese. It just didn’t have a strong cheese flavor. Both dishes had very thin slices of leeks that were blanched in hot oil just enough to give them a crisp. What a tasty and different topping to food rather than a sprig of parsley!
Yes, of course I had room for dessert, and I ordered the triple chocolate flourless cake. It was very good. Rich chocolate with whipped cream that was thick and seemed to have some mascarpone whipped in.
Service was excellent. Everyone at McCall’s had a smile, greeted customers very pleasantly, and were courteous and helpful and it started with the hostess. My server was VInce and he was top notch. He checked back with me every course at least once, and he refilled my iced tea without me needing to ask. The only service fail was my obsession with keeping the table clean. It wasn’t until the end of the meal that a server removed my three empty artificial sugar packets. That’s my gold standard of excellent service all other things being equal.
I’ll come back to McCall’s. It really is a nice room, nothing too fancy, but good food at good prices for being on the Las Vegas Strip – even the North Strip.
