FOG CITY DINER
325 Hughes Center Drive
My, how this town has grown. This power diner from San Francisco drew more than three times the votes of second-choice Big Dog's. Does this substantial showing amid a crowded pack of 26 offerings mean that mu-shu pork burritos have replaced the video poker fare that used to typify American food in this town?
Our Pick:
POPPA GAR'S
1624 W. Oakey Blvd.
Trophy heads and fishing photos on the walls, chicken-fried steak -- not to mention buffalo, quail and venison -- on the menu. You can't get more American than this Las Vegas institution still supervised daily by 89-year-old "Poppa" Garland Miner. Pass the ketchup.
