Café 6

I loved this place! Beautiful, clean & modern décor. Extremely friendly service (a tiny bit slow, but that’s okay… we’re on vacation!) It was very quiet but that was probably because we came at an odd time for an early dinner & the pool was closed. We ordered the fried pickle spears (which came with 3 tasty sauces), fried rock shrimp, and the «burn your face off» burger w/​the slaw on the side (which is surprisingly not mayo based & included pickled jalepenos adding to the face burning aspect:) All were DELICIOUS! This place is pricey — I’m not going to lie — but we had a Groupon, so I’d recommend just sharing a couple items. Anyway, all in all, amazing food! So glad we came:)

We loved this place and can’t wait to go back and try other stuff on the menu… so creative.
the pretzel was amazing!

Staying at the Palms for a conference. Café 6 had good reviews from Unilocal.Was surprised by the ‘seat yourself’ sign upon entering. It said to me that they lack staff. Given that we had to walk 5mins from the main part of the Palms to get to this place, we stayed. Our server (I think the only server in the place was great (nice, talkative and offered good recommendations and feedback).
Food: ³⁄₅: my party of 3 got the various burgers. Underseasoned burgers, but tasty and the fries were good.
Service: ²⁄₅: server was good, but we didn’t see him much given how stretched he was. I checked into Unilocal for this place and never got the desert we asked for. I believe had we asked again for it, we would have gotten it, but didn’t not want to wait 20 mins for it.
The placed was a bit sad since they probably don’t get enough food old coming through due to the location and therefore cannot hire enough staff. This will eventually shut this place down. Knowing this, I will not return and would rather try Chronic tacos or Earl of sandwich at the food court at the Palms.

Hidden gem!
This place is soooo good. Never heard of it before, just came across it today and we will definitely be going back. Beautiful location.
The food is delicious, very unique ideas. We liked the way the food is served.
Out server Anthony was great. Very nice, polite, funny and fulfilled all our wishes. He deserves thumbs up!
We had a smoke out burger and a BLTA Stack, both deserve 5*. To top it all we had a complimentary dessert «The cookie cutter» (fried Oreos & ice cream) because we checked in on Unilocal.That dessert was even worth $ 10.
Shout out to all who are thinking about going there: GO! You will not regret it ;)

This little restaurant is found on the 6^th floor of the Palms Place tower. Good place to stop for lunch or dinner if you’re staying at the Palms, not worth going out of your way if you’re not already on the strip.
Hands down, you must get the warm pretzel. If it completely fills you up and you can not eat another bite then every bite has been completely worth it. This is a larger than life warm pretzel served with melted cheese and mustard. So delicious, so warm, so buttery, so salty… so perfect. So yea, I can go on and on about this thing. Bring a friend or two to share… or be selfish and order all for yourself. Shh, I won’t tell.
Another stand out dish is The Poolside salad. This is a good entrée if you’re looking for something light after the heavy pretzel. It has crab, bacon, avocado, yum.
Everything else on the menu is pretty generic. Build your own burgers, fries, milk shakes, sliders, etc. Get the waffle fries though. They’re a home run for sure.

I’ve been here several times as I have a business associate who lives in the building.
The good:
Service is always great.
Decore and ambiance are good.
The bad:
Menu is poor. Not many great choices. You have burgers, some appetizers, salads and ??? Boring and not creative menu.
If you’re here, it’s ok, but don’t make a trip to come here.

I’m not a burger person. I was skeptical about coming here… But I am a total fan. It’s located in palms place where the old Simons use to be. We went on a Sunday night… It wasn’t busy… But it definitely should be!
We were greeted immediately and sat a comfortable table. Our server was an amazing young man from back east. Dang, I wish I remembered his name… Probably the best service I’ve had out in a long time.
We ordered the pretzel as an app. Actually… My boyfriend and his friend ordered it. It was huge! A total meal
Within itself and definitely not vegan… But appeared to be extremely enjoyable. I ordered a glass of wine and the Virgin lettuce wraps… Holy smokes!!! They were super flavorful… Totally vegan… And absolutely delicious! Score! My boyfriend ordered 3 pork belly sliders and fries and our friend ordered the chicken Caesar salad. Everyone loved their food. Of course… We left with left overs… But it was absolutely delicious. Will I be returning? Definitely!

My wife and I stayed at the Palms recently while attending a friend’s event. This particular hotel is home to a few fairly well-​regarded restaurants. When we arrived, however, it was lunchtime and so the N9NE Steakhouse and NOVE Italiano restaurants were not open. I asked the lady at the concierge desk where a good place for lunch would be. She suggested Café 6 on the 6^th floor at Palms Place. I stated that we were not in the mood for «bar food.» Her reaction was priceless! She stiffened a bit and looked as if I had spat in her face. «Sir, Café 6 does not serve ‘bar food’. It serves gourmet sandwiches; the very ones you see in these posters,» (pointing to a Café 6 advertisement poster.)
So we went there and tried it. Unfortunately, it actually was bar food, and not very good bar food at that. If I had been in the mood for that, I might have enjoyed it a bit more.
My wife got a «Turkey Dinner» which was a turkey burger with avocado on a Taro bun. You will know the Taro bun by its deep purple color and horrifying taste. Also, her burger was undercooked and we had to send it back.
I got the «Build Your Own» burger, but you can’t erect a mansion with clay and old 2×4’s. Despite looking pretty good, it was just… not. In addition, my burger was also undercooked and had to be sent back as well. The accompanying fries were salty, greasy and largely inedible.
Yes, Virginia, it IS bar food.

Confused why they have 5 stars, but oh well. We came here after we checked into the Palms Place and were disappointed with the food. The service, however, was fantastic. Our server was amazing and definitely went the extra mile to take care of us. He was really excited and kept the energy high even though we were both incredibly tired. We ordered the Rock Shrimp appetizer, I ordered a «Build Your Own» turkey burger, he ordered their «Smokeout» (which is apparently what they are known for) and we also had the sweet potato and skinny fries. The shrimp appetizer was okay. It wasn’t great or absolutely terrible. I think the batter could have been a little better and fried a little longer, and I don’t think they should toss it in the Tobasco Ranch. I LOVE Tobasco, however it made it really soggy. This was probably the best thing we ordered. My turkey burger was really bland. I got the normal toppings on it (lettuce, tomato, onions) and added mushrooms. They put way too many onions on there and it was an overwhelming taste. Usually I don’t complain about that because I do like onions, but they must have given me half of an onion. The Smokeout looked unappetizing and he said he was really unhappy with it. I didn’t even want to try it. The sweet potato fries were pretty good but a tad too salty.
We didn’t come back here, although we would have if the food was good. It’s convenient if you want something basic… like fries. I don’t recommend this place.

I’ve been to this restaurant before when it was called Simon’s. Now it’s a casual burger place. It’s located on the 6^th floor of Palm’s Place with a view of the pool. Thanks to Antonia R’s Unilocal review so we decided to give it a try.
Came in for a quick lunch and the bartender /​server seated us by the window with the pool view. It wasn’t busy but didn’t care cause was just really looking forward to the burgers base on Unilocal reviews.
I ordered the Burn Your Face Off Burger because I’m a big fan of anything spicy. This medium Angus Beef topped w/​Jalapeños, Roasted Poblano, Pepper Jack Cheese & Slaw on Torta Bun was the one I was dared to try. OMG… I forgot about the Habenero sauce and boy… this burger numbed my lips, tongue & cheeks. I was sweating bite after bite but it was worth it :) The other patrons and our server had a good a laugh at my expense so it was all good! At least I sweated all the alcohol from the night before.
Gotta check this place out. Burger was juicy, friendly service and affordable menu!

First off, most of my meal was comped, but that does not guarantee a good review. This place took over the old Simon restaurant and it doesn’t look like they changed much. The décor is the same and aside from them using their wine rack to store beer, the place is the same.
Their menu skews a bit too far casual, with almost all hamburger and sandwiches on the menu and only two entrees. That might be fine for lunch, but the lack of refined options doesn’t make it a dinner destination.
Based on early reviews, their pretzel was a must. It didn’t disappoint with it’s butter-​brushed, warm and soft exterior making it a wonderful appetizer, if not highly original. The large size is a thing to behold and the cheese and mustard sauces are irresistable.
Burgers may look a tad small, but they’re plenty filling. The smoke out burger, with its meaty and densely packed patty were well executed. Paired with a pretzel bun and a tangy BBQ sauce it’s a solid burger that’s only downfall was fatty and tough brisket. It was tough to eat in the metal basket that it arrived in, but that’s a small drawback for a good burger and delicious waffle fries.
There’s no kid’s menu (or more importantly, kid-​sized portions) but there are options for them. Chicken tenders are typically a favorite for any kid. Mine, however, was turned off by the abundance of pepper and paprika that proved too much for his young palate.
There’s potential here. The execution was good for the most part, but the menu is too casual for the vibe of Palms Place. It’s in need of higher class fare — at least that would be my perception if I stayed here. At the very least they should consider expanding their menu to have separate breakfast, lunch and dinner options.

My pals and I were staying at the Palms, but on the… other side of the resort. The side with $ 36 burger restaurants. We passed on those, and had gone to nearby Izakaya Cocokala a couple nights in a row. However, we wanted to change it up and heard from some pals who had dined at Café 6 the previous night that we would like it.
I built my own burger and ordered a bunless (they call it ‘topless’) veggie burger topped with pepper jack and a roasted poblano pepper. I was pleased when the veggie burger ended up being a roasted corn and black bean number and was transported to a very messy (get the bun, yo) but tasty mexi-​inspired heaven. But considering they have fish burgers, chicken burgers, and more, there is undoubtedly no end to the delish you could inspire for yourself.
And my boo got the fried chicken that was enticing enough for me to sample – even though I avoid eating the land animals these days. It was ridic.
Fries were just whatever, but served in cutesy deep fryer baskets that I appreciated.
I would go back in a heartbeat and scope out their beer menu. I was too tired to browse when I visited.

I can’t believe I forgot to review his place. I must have been in food coma. I’ve been raving about it. If you like a great dirty martini this place has got it. If you like comfort food this place takes it to another level. Delicious. Let’s break it down…
Soft pretzel: ⁵⁄₅. A must! Soft buttery and salted with mustard and cheese dipping sauces to die for! Yum!
Hot wings: ⁵⁄₅ good in size. Bigger that Buffalo Wild Wings but then again that isn’t saying much. We chose to have all the sauces on the side and enjoyed them all. Chicken perfectly crisp.
Fried pickles: 4.5÷5 love the dipping sauce and love how they were spears instead of the chips.
U pick mini sliders: ⁵⁄₅ great variety to chose from! Love trying something new and that I would never make at home. Again I was not disappointed! I did try the burn your face off chicken and loved it! It had flavor, spice and heat! Perfect but hen again I love spicy things! The other two I chose where the turkey snack and toadstool Swiss. I would get those all again!
Deep fried Oreos with ice cream: 5+/5!!! The best I have had! Perfectly fried with tasty sweet batter with soft Oreo in the middle. Chocolate and raspberry sauces for dipping. Omg!!! Heaven!
Can’t wait to go back!!! Service was great and food to die for. Comfort food at its best!

This is really a 3.5 rating… I wish Unilocal gave us that option.
Café 6 is located at the Palms PLACE. Not Palms Hotel and Casino… but you can still access the restaurant via their Sky Tube. (just a bridge to cross over to the Palms Place.) We got a table that overlooked their pool deck. Very peaceful and serene.
APPETIZER:
Beer Battered Rock Shrimp-​strips of carrots and celery mixed in a Tabasco Ranch dressing. OH MY. This was freakin delicious!!! Portions was perfect for an appetizer… for small eaters like myself, this is enough to get your half-full…even if this was shared. I would totally order this as an entrée. It’s THAT good.
BURGERS:
Short Rib «Sloppy Joe” — $ 15.95. Angus Beef, 100% Short Rib Pepper Joe Mix, Skinny Fries, Onion Ring, Hoagie Bun. Fried food galore. You got your skinny fries inside the burger, your big onion rings and then more fries on the side. I opted for the waffle fries. I put my remaining sloppy joe mix on top of these and mmmm… yum!!!
They need to come up with something like waffle fries with the sloppy joe mix, pour some melted cheese on it and boom! Sloppy joe cheese waffle fries. OHHH YESS!!!
My boyfriend ordered the mini burgers (3 mini sliders) of the Bacon Bleu $ 13.95 which consist of Angus Beef, applewood smoked bacon, bleu cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, housemade ketchup, Brioche Bun. He really enjoyed his. He liked Café 6 more than I did actually… and he’s not really a fan of burgers either.
So why 3 stars? As much as these burgers were delicious, it didn’t really give me the «WOW at first bite.» The appetizer rocked more than my burger. We went on a Sunday evening… peak dinner hours but there were only about 4 – 5 other tables. Hopefully this place can survive.

Resting above the valley on the 6^th floor of the Palms Place down at the farthest reaches of the seemingly endless Sky Tube, Café 6 is a lonely place. My friend and I went one Tuesday evening a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked to see the restaurant completely empty. There wasn’t even a hostess. Just a sign inviting us to seat ourselves. Why did I even make a reservation? It seems it was all in vain.
Besides being completely devoid of customers, aside from my friend and myself, this restaurant has space that is being horribly under utilized. From what I understand, there used to be another establishment here. One that offered a greater variety. As for Café 6, it is a faux high end place selling gourmet pub fare at gourmet prices. This space is not suited for such a menu. A nice, albeit secluded, location with a beautiful crystal clear pool just on the other side of a thin pane of glass does not deserve waffle fries and overloaded messy burgers which are served in an undersized basket that does nothing to keep the tables clean.
It is these very burgers that I am a fan of at Café 6. I eat a lot of burgers and the one I had here was one of the best in three consecutive days of a burger binge. I ordered the Dr. Pepper Shroom Burger. The pattie was thick and fresh and cooked to a perfect medium. The portabello pieces were in absolutely every bite and some even fell out into the basket below where they waited patiently for me to rescue them. The cheese was gooey and oh so good. I could have done without the dijon mustard but that is just a taste preference rather than a criticism of what Café 6 has created. And the waffle fries on the side were the perfect vehicle to break up the richness of the burger. They were served with a house made spicy ketchup. It was not unlike a cocktail sauce though it was a different spice than from horseradish. I enjoyed it so thoroughly I asked for more.
What is a once-​in-​a-​blue moon dinner without dessert? I ordered the banana split on this night (which was coincidentaly a few days after a blue moon). Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice creams were hidden beneath heaps of whipped cream, wafer sticks, chocolate swizzles and a cherry. On the sides were two halves of a banana that had been coated with sugar and bruleed to caramelize them into a crispy sweet treat. I was reminded of bananas foster without the booze (tear). Eating this pushed me over the edge and I decided it was time to call it a night.
I want to like Café 6 but I just don’t know if it is going to last. If a Tuesday evening between 6:00 and 8:00 is any indication, they likely wont make it too long. I hope I’m wrong because the staff is friendly and the food is amazing. They don’t deserve to be tossed aside and overlooked.

I loved the décor and poolside setting when this spot was Simon’s, but service was terrible. Glad to see that Café 6 has tasty burgers and a total turnaround in the service department– but the cuisine doesn’t really fit the spa-​like locale. That said, I’d still keep this spot in mind for a great burger.
FRIED PICKLES: These are spears instead of the expected chips, perfectly crisp and served with a trio of dipping sauces (an acidic ranch, a sweet bbq, and a spicy sriracha). Interesting presentation features vinegar chips under the pickles?
THE WEDGIE: More like a wedge salad mated with a BLTA sandwich, minus the bread. Presentation deconstructed the wedge to more manageable pieces, with generous amounts of avocado and bleu cheese, two slices of bacon. One of the few fresh/​healthy options, lots of textural contrast, would get again.
MINI BURGERS
TURKEY SNACK: Turkey burger with lettuce, avocado, swiss, and apple-​cranberry marmalade on a Taro bun. The purple taro bun is fun and slightly sweet, tastes like a Hawaiian roll. This is a great turkey burger, surprisingly juicy.
BACON BLEU: Angus patty with bacon (allegedly, didn’t detect any on ours?), bleu cheese sauce, LTO, on brioche bun. Lovely buttery bun and an incredibly strong sauce, burger was juicy, a bite of perfection.
TOADSTOOL SWISS: Angus patty with roasted portabella, caramelized onion, lettuce, swiss, Dijon mustard, house-​made ketchup. The burger I’d most anticipated was underwhelming. Portabella lacked flavor, mustard didn’t really harmonize with other ingredients, small chopped onions were falling all over the plate and didn’t stay on the burger.
FULL-​SIZE BURGER
DR. PEPPER SHROOM BURGER: Huge, thick Angus patty with roasted portabella, white cheddar, caramelized onion, Dr. Pepper glaze, Dijon mustard on brioche bun. The full sized burgers are gigantic! Aside from our cooking issues (below), the sweet Dr. Pepper glaze worked better than expected and added to the mushrooms’ savory meatiness. Really enjoyed the flavors of this burger.
WAFFLE FRIES: These are perfectly crisp and wonderfully seasoned, served with a spicy ketchup with a lot of kick. I ate way too many of these, enjoying them more than any other version in recent memory.
NUTELLA DONUTS: Puffy donut holes, dusted in cinnamon-​sugar and served with a trio of sauces (the crème anglaise being my favorite). Nutella filling was a good amount, not overflowing, happy my BF pushed to order these despite my not being a dessert fan.
I recommend the Trio of Sliders ($ 14), which allows you to try more burger styles, though the giant patty of the full-​size burger is a good value. The sliders were cooked perfectly, whereas our full-​sized burger was served first overcooked (to well done) then redone to practically rare. If you’re charging $ 15/​burger, every one should be cooked perfectly– an area to improve upon.
Service was fairly good: lots of positive staff around to check up on us, they had no problem remaking our burger or upselling drinks, apps, and desserts. Now if only they could get people in the door! Despite a Friday evening date-​night, there were few diners here and they were mostly older groups. Location away from the casino floor plus $ 15 burgers (pricey for some) doesn’t really help. Hoping this place lasts as a concept (as I want to return for the bbq brisket burger!), but it doesn’t really fit the location.

We were invited to Café 6 at Palms Place for a comped meal. Located on the 6^th floor, this hideaway has a very inviting, upscale feel, with floor-​to-​ceiling windows overlooking the pool.
We were attended to immediately by Jeannette, our wonderful server. Though the restaurant has what looks like a classy, full bar, there is no cocktail list. There is no wine list. Instead, the restaurant is selling off what remains from its predecessor’s wine collection, and will not be replacing it. Huh???
The only Riesling available was the one we both dislike. Instead I ordered an Ace Pineapple Cider from the Beer/​Cider menu, and hubby had a Sierra Nevada. If you don’t like either, you’re SOL. Or, you could have a million-​calorie shake to go along with your This is Not Health Food meal. They’re probably delicious. Fattening stuff always is (except for Fried Twinkies). It IS nice that they stock a selection of local brews, but as a non-​beer drinker, the lack of wine is a huge turn-​off for me. The pineapple cider was interesting — tasty, but too sweet even for me.
We started with the Baked Soft Pretzel, an enormous creature served with Dijon Mustard & Warm Cheese Sauce. Loved it, but needed to make room for dinner, so it was the first entry in the take-​home bag.
We ordered a Dr. Pepper/​Shroom burger for me, without the Dr. Pepper Glaze. I never liked that soda, but did want all the other stuff on it: the Roasted Portabello, White Cheddar, Caramelized Onions, and Dijon Mustard on a Brioche Bun. I asked for it medium, and it was slightly less than that, but in the good ‘ol days I would get my burgers medium-​rare, so I was fine with it, Health Dept. be damned.
Mr. G. got the Smokehouse Burger, and he enjoyed it a lot. We ordered one with onion rings and one with waffle fries, well-​done. The onion rings were humungous, and I didn’t dare eat more than one. The waffle fries were perfect: crisp, well-​done but not burnt, simply scrumptious. I couldn’t even finish my burger, and we took home a lot of fries and the remaining onion rings.
We finished up with dessert — the To Die For Chocolate. We were too full to go the whole nine yards, so we asked for the ice cream to be served and all the other stuff packed to go. We did miss the beautiful presentation that I’ve seen in some of the photos posted here, but the three scoops of chocolate ice cream that were served to us made me almost comatose, ’cause I ate too much of it.
Café 6 has a lot going for it: great atmosphere, big and tasty burgers, rings, fries, pretzels, desserts, stellar service. But not so great menu: just TWO entrees, a few «sammiches» that don’t sound particularly enticing, a bar that looks like a bar, but maybe it’s just a mirage (oh, that’s a different hotel), Strip pricing. If you’re craving a burger and a beer, this may just be your place.

**Disclaimer** My family and I were invited by the Palms to experience their new Café 6 in Palms Place. This review is based off of our overall experience of food & service.
Upon arriving, we waited for several minutes by the host counter. No one was present I’m guessing because an actual host wasn’t there that day. We were seated by one of the waitresses who saw us and another party near the counter.
Café 6 is hardly reminiscent of an everyday café/​diner you might think of. This was formerly a Kerry Simon joint, and it’s possible some of the décor remained intact for this new place. It’s very inviting, with the fireplace, the hard woods, the serene colors, the bamboo, and of course, the POOL right outside the glass doors. Café 6 must be popular for the lunch lounge crowd, order from the restaurant and get served by the pool. By night time, the pool was closed and no one was around. Café 6 itself wasn’t overly busy for a Friday night, but there was a decent crowd throughout.
Our server Stacy was very on point. Cordial, pleasant, upbeat, and courteous. We also met restaurant manager Michelle who was equally nice and warm, attentive to anything we would need for the evening.
Started off with the bottle libations menu and ordered an Ace Pineapple Cider by the CA Cider Company. It came out before our meal so Stacy was kind enough to put it back on ice until our food arrived. Service! We dined on:
BAKED HARD & SALTED SOFT PRETZEL ($ 9.95) — This sucker was HUGE! Pizza sized fresh made pretzel with a side of cheese sauce & Dijon mustard for dipping.
Deliciousness! Really was one of my fav things of the meal. Hard on the outside, warm and chewy on the inside. DEVOURED.
SALTY CRUNCHY PICKLES ($ 6.95) — Fried pickles with Sriracha mayo, BBQ sauce & lemon-​herb aioli for dipping.
These were good as well. I liked how they came in spear form. Coated just right and fried, nice blend of sour & savory with good crunch.
DR. PEPPER/​SHROOM ($ 15.95) — Angus burger with roasted portabella, white cheddar, caramelized onions, Dijon & Dr. Pepper glaze on a brioche bun.
My little one got this. She liked it very much! Burger was big, juicy, with good flavor coming from the portabella. It was light on the Dr. Pepper taste though. Waffle fries on the side were also a highlight for her, hot & crisp with good seasoning.
U-​PICK TRIO ($ 13.95) — Pick 3 mini Angus burgers off of the menu. Wifey chose: 1. Toadstool Swiss: roasted portabella, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, lettuce, Dijon & ketchup on brioche bun. 2. Bacon Bleu: applewood smoked bacon, blue cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion & ketchup on brioche bun. 3. Belly Wash: pork belly, coleslaw, skinny fries & BBQ sauce on brioche bun.
Fancy! Nice presentation on a wood paddle. Wifey liked the mini burgers very much, each flavorful even on little buns. The Belly Wash was a standout, pork belly added an unctuous bite. If you order the mini burgers be aware, they do NOT come with a side of fries or onion rings.
BLTA STACK ($ 10.95) — Bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado & house sauce on sourdough baguette.
With the apps we ordered I went light on my main. The BLTA sounded yummy, and I’m a club sandwich type of guy. Café 6 wasn’t kidding, this sandwich is STACKED! Comes out to your table on one of those menu order pins, each quarter stacked on top the other. Neat! The sandwich itself was tasty though. Bacon was crunchy, lettuce & tomato were crisp, and the avocado was fresh. House sauce was akin to a 1000-​Island. But the kicker were the onion rings! A massive side came with my sandwich. They were great, battered just right and fried to golden brown delicious. Perfect with their housemade ketchup. Careful, the ketchup does have a kick!
Even with the leftovers we were packing up to take home, manager Michelle asked us to try one of their desserts. We chose:
ICE CREAM ‘BURGER’ ($ 11.95) — Chocolate ice cream ‘patty’ on ‘wafer’ bun, with funnel cake ‘fries’, crème anglaise & raspberry sauce
This was so funky! Throws you off your taste buds! You see burger but taste dessert! Wifey wasn’t really into the concept of this, but the little one & I were totally on board! It is a novelty of sorts, but so fun to eat! It’s like a Klondike Bar in a bun. Funnel cake ‘fries’ were good too, light & sweet, good for dipping in the raspberry sauce.
Overall we had a great time at Café 6. I would come back for the GIANT PRETZEL itself, and kick back with that and a beer or two. Then probably order a burger to share. I like the concept they have got going here, it’s casual fare but punched up a notch. I will say though Café 6 is not cheap eats! Burgers average around the $ 15 – 16 mark, around Strip pricing. But there is quality there and lots of potential. Service for us was a big PLUS.
Thank you Café 6 and the staff of The Palms for a great meal and hospitality. Keep up the good work!

I was invited to come to Café 6 by PR at the Palms and was comped our meal.
We arrived when they opened at 5 PM and were seated along the window that faces the Palms Place pool. Menus were left and in a very short time, our server, Alejandro, arrived to take drink orders. He was soon back with our two iced teas.
I had a question about the Burn Your Face Off burger and with Alejandro’s description, I opted to go with something that would leave my face in tact – overhaul though it needs. I ordered the Land and sea burger which the menu describes as Angus Beef, CRAB DYNAMITE, Red Onions, Fennel, Arugula, Breakfast Radishes, Havarti Cheese, Tomato Tartar Sauce, Hawaiian Sweet Bun. I asked for it rare and that’s the way it came. My wife ordered the Dr. Pepper/​Shroom burger that the menu describes as Angus Beef, Roasted Portabella, White Cheddar, Caramelized Onions, DR. PEPPER GLAZE, Dijon Mustard, Brioche Bun done medium which was the way it was done. We each ordered skinny fries which come with your sandwich.
Both burgers were very good. I was pleased that my burger was indeed rare, something that some restaurants are hesitant to do. The burgers were very large – probably 8 ounces. My burger, while having a good amount of crab, didn’t have much of a crab taste. The crab was mined and mixed with a hot sauce to be the dynamite mentioned in the menu. There wasn’t much dynamite to it, but the burger was good. The skinny fries were salted in the kitchen and were the perfect accompaniment to the burger.
For dessert, we split the To Die For Chocolate which the menu describes as Chocolate Ice Cream, Frozen Brownie Bites, TOASTED MARSHMALLOWS, Crème Anglaise. This was very good. Very chocolatey – very worthy of its name!
Throughout our meal, service was top notch. Our iced teas were refilled without needing to ask. Alejandro was very good!
Café 6 would probably rate another star if there was more of a choice. Except for burgers and sandwiches, there are only two «main course» options – salmon and steak frites – so it’s a burger and sandwich café with some apps, salads, and desserts. There is an option to build your own burger. The price of the burgers amounts to Strip pricing in an off-​Strip place. While the room and the view of the pool are very nice, this isn’t a stop I’d make. It’s much easier to get gourmet burgers in the neighborhood at more reasonable prices. For tourists staying at the Palms or Palms Place, this is a perfectly good option.

This super secret restaurant, located on the 6^th floor of Palms Place (not Palms Casino) is a fantastic hidden gem. The décor is upscale-​casual, but that’s what you come to expect in a Vegas hotel-​burger restaurant. The loft style restaurant also comes equipped with a separate bar & lounge area. Upon sitting down in our booth, I was enchanted by the sparkling poolside dining view.
Our server, Stacy, was beyond amazing. She was extremely attentive and took care of us all evening. Actually, we received impeccable service from all of the staff working that evening. Kudos to the management for flawless training — I can’t speak enough on how fantastic they pride themselves with customer service; certainly a great environment to get away from a stressful work week.
We sampled a few tasty delights on the menu:
* BAKED HARD & SALTED 14oz SOFT PRETZEL with Dijon Mustard & Warm Cheese Sauce $ 9.95
It comes out piping hot & fresh out of the oven. Might need to give it a moment before you dig in! We enjoyed the both dips & had a lot of leftovers. Rated: ³⁄₅
* CHICKEN WINGS $ 10.95
Shaved Onions, Choice of Sauce: Burn Your Face Off, Sweet Thai Chili or Buffalo. We requested the wings to come undressed and all of the sauces on the side. Man! They weren’t kidding when they said the «burn your face off» is hot! It’s because it’s pure habanero purée. Whew, my mouth & stomach lining hurts just writing about it. My favorite had to be the sweet Thai chili, I think the buffalo was a tad too vinegary to taste and although I love spicy food, the habanero was like just biting into a habanero chili, versus an actual complex sauce. I’m still a fan though, the wings were cooked expertly — So juicy & crispy! Rated: ⁵⁄₅
* SMOKE OUT $ 17.95 —
Juicy Angus Beef, BBQ Brisket, Cole Slaw, Fried Onions, Sweet Molasses BBQ Sauce all on a soft Pretzel Bun! This burger is the BOSS of the evening. The patty was massive and cooked perfectly! The sweet molasses BBQ sauce really tied everything together. Rated: ⁵⁄₅
* LAND & SEA $ 19.95
Angus Beef, Crab Dynamite, Red Onions, Fennel, Arugula, Breakfast Radishes, Havarti Cheese, Tomato Tartar Sauce, Hawaiian Sweet Bun.

–cooked to medium rare perfection, just as we requested
–stayed super juicy
–an overall gourmet burger
A unique idea, however, compared to the Smoke Out, this burger had a prominent salt flavor, with no other balance of seasoning coming through. As a result, the saltiness overwhelmed the other delicate toppings on the burger such as the arugula, fennel, radish, and unfortunately the crab topping as well. We enjoyed it, but would rather try something else on the menu before tackling this guy again. Rated: ⁴⁄₅

Strawberry Ice Cream, Fresh Strawberries, Freeze Dried Strawberries, Aged Balsamic, Cookie Straw. I loved that it wasn’t a sugar bomb. I also enjoyed the fresh strawberries & the texture of the freeze dried strawberries. I just wished the aged balsamic flavor was bold. I didn’t even know it was in there until I re-​read the menu description! Rated: ³⁄₅
I know, it’s another burger joint to add to the books, but I really appreciate how this place feels like a private getaway. I need to mention that they have a unique menu offering that caught our attention, they have purple Taro Bread Buns for the burgers! I am intrigued and want to try that next time. The service and ambiance put this place over the top for us and we really enjoyed our dining experience here.
PRO TIP:
EASY: Enter through Palms Place & go up to the 6^th floor.
HARD: If you are coming from the Palms Hotel & Casino, walk towards Palms Place — Take the elevator up towards the Sky-​Tube — Once you reach the opposite side of the Sky-​Tube, take the first elevators you see to the the 6^th floor.

Café 6 occupies the old spot of Simons on the 6^th floor of the palms place. Floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pool give an easygoing and fun vibe to the place. Little less quirky than Simons… On the menu you will find a pretty straightforward (but good) assortment of burgers and sandwiches.
We went for the fried pickles (hard to screw up, but they were excellent and came with some great dipping sauces… and I am a sucker for sauces), HUGE soft pretzel and burgers. The pretzel was insanely large… Maybe enough for a whole table to share for their entire meal… definitely hit the spot when combined with their well above average (if slightly pricey) beer selection.
My last adventure: the burn your face off burger. Yes, that’s really what it’s called. The manager personally came out to warn me that if I wasn’t in the mood for something very spicy, I should get the sauce on the side. I told them to bring it as is and keep the waters coming. As expected, this was freaking hot. Not terribly over the top though. The habanero sauce and the roasted pepper on the burger gave it a sweet and spicy taste that made it not only bearable, but enjoyable. It did make me want to go stick my face in the pool though.
All in all, Simons was an enjoyable experience and I would recommend — hopefully you leave with your face intact as I was able to.

I was invited to come to Café 6 by PR at the Palms and was comped our meal.
Taking the space that was previously occupied by Simon, You will find Café 6 on the 6^th floor at Palms Place. I never had the pleasure of dining at Simon, so this was my first time in the room. The space is light and casual with a fantastic view of the pool! This makes for a more quiet, comfortable and intimate setting.
We were quickly greeted by our wonderful hostess and seated at a table with a fantastic view of poolside! Our server, Carmen, quickly approached us with suggestions and recommendations on things we should try. Carmen was fantastic! Extremely sweet, personable, and engaging, she helped to make our experience at Café 6 an outstanding one!
We first ordered some drinks and a couple of appetizers. We opted for an order of Chicken Wings ($ 10.95) with some «Burn Your Face Off”(lol) and Buffalo sauce. We also decided to try some Buttermilk Chicken Tenders ($ 10.95), also with an assortment of dipping sauces on the side. The wings were outstanding! They were plump and juicy, with plenty of meat on the bones! Just awesome! Some of the best wings I’ve had in a while! The chicken tenders were also great. Again, very tender and juicy with the skin just slipping off the meat as you bit into it! So, so tasty!
The manager, Michelle, approached our table to both introduce herself and see how we were enjoying ourselves. I absolutely love when managers take a genuine interest in their guests and how their experience is going. This was a nice touch and greatly appreciated.
We next enjoyed one of the Baked 14 oz Soft pretzels ($ 9.95)! This thing was MASSIVE! Honestly, this was one of my favorite menu items here and second only to my burger! It was so soft and tasty! We plowed through that thing in no time! We will DEFINITELY be back for more of that soon!
Last, but certainly not least, we each enjoyed a tasty burger! How can we not? I opted for the Dr. Pepper Mushroom Burger cooked medium rare ($ 15.95)(w/ a side of waffle fries), while my friend chose to enjoy the Smoke Out Burger ($ 17.95)(w/ a side of onion rings).
WOW!
I LOVED my burger! The angus beef was cooked to perfection and full of so much flavor, my burger was incredible! My favorite menu item of the day! The Dr Pepper glaze was not overwhelming, as I had feared it might. In fact, it seemed to bring out all the flavor of the burger with the mushrooms and caramelized onions! Superb! My friend raved about his burger and had mentioned that it was the best burger he had eaten in this town in a long time! Safe to say we were both VERY satisfied.
We were both pretty stuffed by this point, but had to try at least one desert! So, on Michelle’s recommendation, we tried the Fried Cookie Cutter ($ 9.95). A combonation of vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate ganache, and… wait for it…
Deep Fried Oreos!
lol So incredibly delicious!
Café 6 offers up scrumptious food at great prices, with outstanding service to boot! Suffice it to say that I am a fan and will be back for countless visits. There is still so much on the menu I have to try out!
Woohoo! As good as it gets!
5 stars!

Café 6 is the new café inside of the Palms Place casino. It replaces the Simon restaurant that was there for a long time. I wanted to check out what was different, and what was the same. There are some similarities, plus some differences, so I will go into detail.
This restaurant is located on the 6^th floor of the Palms Place. There is self parking and valet options all around, so just take the elevator to the 6^th floor when you come inside of Palms Place. After walking through to the restaurant, I was immediately sat by the hostess, given my menu, and my server came by shortly and asked about my drink order. Looking around the restaurant, I noticed that they didn’t do a major overhaul of the dining room, which is a good thing because the dining room does look elegant and comfortable, with great views of the pool and people watching.
While perusing the menu, I noticed that the humorously whimsical Kerry Simon menu has been replaced by a simpler, more straightforward one, with a focus on being more casual and approachable. There is a wide variety of crowd pleasing favorites such as burgers, salads, sandwiches, as well as appetizers including chicken wings, and pretzels.
I came in during lunch time, and during that time I was handed a drink menu that was full of standard beers, but also had a large selection of craft ones. I chose an IPA called Le Freak by a brewery in California called Green Flash. It was a hoppy beer that complimented my meal very well. The server took my food order and I waited for my food.
There seemed to be a mixup in the ordering when my food arrived. I had ordered a couple appetizers and a burger meal. The burger came out first, rather than the appetizers. I didn’t really mind since I’m not crazy anal like that, but my preference would be the other way around on most occasions.
So first, the burger. I ordered the Land and Sea. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium rare, just as I had requested. It was also seasoned well, and was hot and juicy. I could tell that they are using quality beef for their burgers. The crab dynamite was fresh. The condiments were subtle and very fresh, and the bun was toasted nicely, and held its shape very well. There is a choice of fries that comes with all the burgers, and I chose the waffle fries. They were hot and crispy, and seasoned well.
Next were my appetizers. I ordered the chicken wings and beer battered rock shrimp. First, the wings. They used the big sized ones, which I appreciated. They were good wings, and sauced well. As for the rock shrimp, the batter was light and crispy, and the rock shrimp were fresh and of good quality. Here’s a tip, eat the shrimp together with the celery, you’re welcome.
My server was really good, she asked if I was doing well and if the food was good, which it was. I thought they had priced their menu extremely well, taking into consideration that this is a casino restaurant.
Suffice to say, I was really pleased with my meal, and would come back again. This is a spot that’s making very solid food, with good quality product. The service is good and I enjoyed myself here.
