MTO Café

Love the food! Busy place but overall it was real good! I was meeting with some friends and she always wanted to try this place so we did at Downtown Summerlin.

I had the steak and eggs. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the steak was cooked medium rare like I ordered. All the staff was great giving energy to the restaurant. The only drawback is that they did not have a steak knife to cut the steak. Other than that everything was fantastic.

Definitely my new go-​to brunch spot and a hidden gem in Downtown Summerlin. Everyone there is so sweet and smiling. Alyson recommended me the avocado skillet and it was amazing! Love the mash browns that go with it. I would recommend going on a weekday since they get pretty busy on the weekends. Either way, great service and delicious food!

MTO Café never disappoints! One of my favorite dishes has to be the KFC. Can’t go wrong with county gravy, chicken and eggs!
What always has me coming back is the service. I’m always greeted with smiles as soon as I walk in. One of the servers Alison is always there to make sure all my needs are catered to!

Lovely atmosphere. :)
As soon as my boyfriend and I walked in we were warmly greeted by these sweet and cute young ladies. Helpful and considerate throughout our stay, superb work ethic. My French toast was incredible. My guy loved his over easy eggs. made just right. Great cook (s)! An absolute mouth watering breakfast. Lovely staff and sweet tunes by Jack Johnson. Perfect Saturday morning! Thank you MTO Café, keep it up!

Food is delicious!!! Their menu is awesome and the service is wonderful!!! Their cronut burger is amazing!!! And they give large portions! Mac n cheese is to die for!!! We’ll definitely be back!!!

Food is great, for a pretty good price! Not the best brunch in Las Vegas, but definitely one of the best if you’re not looking to be downtown and deal with busy crowds. All staff including the manager was extremely friendly! The great vibe and energy alone are what keeps me going back!

Located in Downtown Summerlin, MTO Café appeared on my radar due to a recommendation from a co-​worker.
We were greeted from the moment we entered the door! It’s a small, but nice and clean, dining area. You order and pay at the counter and then grab a seat and they will bring your order to you.
(+) friendly service from the time we walked through the door until the moment we left!
(+) café was very clean and well organized. tables were cleaned and bussed in a fast and efficient fashion.
(+) food was very tasty and quite filling! steak was nice and tender and among the better café steaks I have had recently. actually everything tasted great and was well cooked with the exception of the toast, which was a bit burnt. no biggie though.
(+) I do love those soda machines where you are able to mix and match sodas and flavoring, much like in some movie theaters!
(-) the only real knock on this place is that it is a tad bit pricey. $ 3.00 for a fountain soda is bit high. 2 entrees and 2 drinks came to $ 35.69 before tip.
I enjoyed my first visit to the MTO café! At this price point it will probably be an «every now and then» option, but I am almost certain we will be back to try some other menu items!
4 stars.
Yay! I’m a fan.

I heard so much good stuff about MTO’s downtown location. I don’t know how this location compares, but I’m thinking that downtown must be better. The food is mediocre I ordered a Ceaser salad today the croutons were bomb the dressing had the consistency and taste of Helmans mayo, and it seems they used a low grade parmesian cheese.
The atmosphere is great and I like thy E outdoor area music inside could be turned down a bit. Probably won’t come back too many other new places to explore here in DT.

I came to check out the new H&M store located in downtown Summerlin mall. I stumbled upon this café which is just right across from H&M store. I’ve always wanted to try this place out, but it’s always busy. I went around 3PM and surprisingly there were no line. I was like wow, on a Saturday?
I went with a few others and the first thing come to mind when we saw the menu, a bit too pricy. Price ranges from $ 11.00 to $ 13.00. I just wanted something light and not too expensive, but since we already there, I figured why not just try it. I figured with that price, I’m sure it was going to be a big portion.
We ordered two lemon cilantro chicken salad ($ 12.00) and spicy chicken sandwich ($ 13.00). Both were okay, nothing different. I’m sure you can find something way less than the menu price elsewhere. Overall, atmosphere is clean, love the location, staffs were friendly.

I enjoy having breakfast here once in a while. They have plenty of healthy options. I usually go for the vegan pancakes with carrots, pecans, and agave syrup, along with the veggie hash with egg whites. The veggie hash is served in a skillet. Both are excellent. I also like the MTO break feast with egg whites, chicken sausage, turkey bacon, potatoes, and whole wheat toast. You definitely won’t be disappointed with your meal.
The only complaint I have is the patio tables. I would enjoy dining on the patio, but most of the tables are wobbly and ready to topple over as soon as you place something on them. I am shocked that the manager would allow customers to sit at those tables. That issue needs to be addressed a.s.a.p.

Now we are regulars. They open at 9 and at 8:59 we are ready for the best breakfast in Summerlin. The avocado skillet and cappuccino make the morning. Extra tomatillo sauce please! Seating outside by the fountain is a joy. Is the sun up yet? Time to eat?

Nice spring lunch was enjoyed here today. Spring in Vegas means wind and this afternoon it was whipping so much patio dining was out of the question. Boo!
After browsing the menu trying to decide on breakfast or lunch items, I decided on that would satisfy both cravings. The BLTAE won the battle. Thick grilled white bread served open face and slathered with mayo and topped with shredded iceberg, Roma tomatos, thick cut Applewood bacon and two perfectly cooked Sunnyside up eggs. This item is located in the sandwich section but this job requires a knife a fork. Great menu item and very satisfying. Shoestring fries served on side were also very good. If I would change one thing about this dish it would be the lettuce. Maybe serve with piece of iceberg or step up to romaine or spring mix. Either would work.
We also had the Lemon Poppy seed pancakes with ginger blueberry compote. Yumm! I loved the tartness of the lemon throughout the pancakes. Balanced out by the sweetness of the blueberry topping. Another great dish.
Overall good visit. Next time we hope to enjoy the patio.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. It reminds me of Rachel’s Kitchen. It is a little bit expensive, but if a little money isn’t an issue, then the food itself can hold up against a little scrutiny. The ingredients seemed fresh enough and the taste was good. I would go back again since it feels a bit healthier and quicker than some of the other options around.
Service was quite good and they came out to check on us often.

Chicken in a Waffle ($ 13): Country gravy and fries. Great waffles and delicious fried chicken strips.
Hen House ($ 11): Wrap w/​lettuce, organic chicken, roasted tomato, avocado, Caesar dressing, tomato-​basil tortilla, and fries.
The Bob ($ 12): Sandwich w/​organic chicken, arugula, roasted tomato, jack and cheddar, pecan honey mustard, grilled wheat bread, and fries.
Everything I’ve had is delicious and hearty without being heavy. The ingredients are fresh and the portions are perfect. It’s good food that isn’t too healthy (love my fries!) for an easy and fulfilling lunch. When the weather is nice, the patio is beautiful to dine.

I came here for an afternoon snack while strolling summerlin. It’s a clean cafè, however, doesn’t give any impression from the outside. But as they always say, «don’t judge the book by its cover». That’s what I did and nothing did change.
I ordered a chicken falafel. The falafel itself is pretty big and could be shared. However, it tasted nothing special. Sad to say, it’s too commercialized. I ordered some fries too, which is pretty crispy and good… You can’t go wrong with fries anyway!
I believe they have a special drink every now and then. I’m not quite sure how often they change or have that. But that day, I had Mango Lemonade, which is sweet and refreshing. However, it also tasted like as if it came from just the concentrates.
Price is not so bad. I wouldn’t come here if you can still wait to find a better place to eat and explore.

We are here at least twice a week. Kid friendly and all the girls are super nice and patient with my little one (and his never ending requests for more orange slices). Have never had a bad experience and hope it stays that way. Food comes out fast and always as we ordered it. Favorites include the avocado skillet and the falafel wrap. Always steady but quiet. This is my go-​to for a quick weekday dinner when I’m not in the mood to cook! Hope you guys are here forever!

Great customer service and delicious food! Need I say more?! It 12 and I love the girl at the registers and the Asian girl services! Omg, they are so sweet and attentive! I love coming here!

This is our go-​to place. Everything we’ve had has been excellent. From the hangover burger, to chicken and waffles, to fat elvis, to falafel wrap.
Quiet, clean and nice. Our favorite.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve had food that just doesn’t do anything for me. There is no shtick, no wow, no pizzazz. Well, maybe the uncomfortable aftertaste that lingered longer than I’d like to admit. The service was ho-​hum, not bad, not good or great. I guess you could say that there approach is food is fuel, not fun or enjoyable. I guess you could say the options in Vegas have left me jaded and this isn’t going to hold up to the competition.

This is one of those places where you can get food and feel healthy about it. Typically these kind of places aren’t cheap.
I got the smoked salmon skillet and was disappointed. The salmon was red and super salty. I like salty, but I felt like I was just eating salt. Comes with cream cheese, dill, eggs, and hash browns. I like my salmon orange and marbleized, so I’m not sure why this salmon is red. Was it some sort of dye to preserve the salmon to keep it fresh?
Maybe I’ll give MTO another shot and try something else, but the smoked salmon… never again.

Their food is amazing !!! I got the French toast & my boyfriend got the Kentucky fried chicken. Both were so good. This might be our new fave breakfast spot now :) & the atmosphere is so mellow & calm & the staff seemed pretty nice & we didn’t have to wait too long for our food, we are here on a Sunday & it’s not even packed which is more than perfect !

Underwhelmed. We gave MTO a try this morning while shopping for Christmas presents in Downtown Summerlin. We were in the mood to share a snack versus ordering a full meal each, so we went for the triple stack of Vegan Carrot Pancakes + Coconut and Agave Syrup. Despite how the item is worded on their menu and expecting a carrot cake version of vegan pancakes, we were served plain, flavorless, gummy pancakes topped with raw, shredded carrot, coconuts and agave syrup.
Like I said, flavorless and so odd. Who serves raw, cold carrot with warm pancakes? The textures were very strange and not at all pleasant. Plus, because the pancakes didn’t taste like anything at all, all you could taste was carrot and coconut.
Won’t be venturing back, but the food was quick and the staff were pleasant, for what it’s worth.

I was WOWed by the food here. I had the daily special ‘Black Chicken’, simple dish but it was incredible, cooked perfectly and full of flavor.
If I was in the right mood I would have gotten the ‘Fat Elvis’!
Definitely a place for Breakfast/​Brunch.
Highly recommended.

If your at the mall shopping this is a nice fresh alternative to mall food! This is a cute little spot. It’s super clean with a friendly staff and the food is really fresh! Loved my falafel wrap. They serve their full menu all day. So if you want breakfast for dinner you can have it! Their omelets looked amazing as the table next to us had them. We opted for the skillet version of eggs and it was yummy! Would definitely go back if we are in the neighborhood!

Don’t get this 3 star review twisted. I really like this place. The food is very tasty, the staff is always friendly and this location has a cute outdoor patio. I would give this place a solid 4 stars if it wasn’t for the prices.
Now I’m not one to complain about the cost of stuff. If it’s good, I will justify it. But keep in mind this is a quick service place. Order at the counter, get your own soda and they bring your food out to you. So when I see $ 7 for a cup of tomato soup, Nope, that’s where I draw my line.
My spinach salad was so awesome but without chicken ($ 3 extra) it would have been a little boring simply because it would have only been 3 ingredients– spinach, quinoa and tomatoes. My honey got the tri-​tip breakfast plate and the meat was rare (not even warm it was cooked so quick). So we brought it back up and the quickly fixed it but the flavor was just very beefy (not in a good way). The rest of the plate was delicious but he wouldn’t order it again. Said he’d go back to the protein plate instead.
Overall, yummy and quick but it hits your pocket just a little too hard. Which makes MTO more of an occasional lunch stop instead of a regular one.

We’ve been in twice now for lunch. This place is nice! It’s got a neat patio and we’ve had nice service on both occasions.
The food is very good. The Mac and cheese stood out and we were pleased with our salads. We had one complaint on our last visit and were told the item was changing so it was in transition. I hope they continue to evolve!
I would certainly go back for a casual and tasty lunch al fresco.

Decided to try somewhere new on my day off while walking around Downtown Summerlin. MTO café was perfect! Fun, friendly atmosphere. Food was fresh and cooked to order. I had the Avocado Egg Skillet which is a scramble of eggs, red onion, jalapeño jack cheese & tomatillo sauce, topped with fresh avocado. It’s what’s under the scramble that makes it so yummy… a nest of their signature potatoes. They are thinly sliced shoestring type and cooked to perfection!
It’s all served in a hot cast iron skillet so the dish stays warm while you are enjoying it! Nothing worse to me than cold scrambled eggs. My meal was at noon and I love that I could order eggs… Because sometimes A girl just wants breakfast for lunch! I’ll be back to try out the rest of the menu!

After sampling a Hangover Burger at the Redline Rendezvous YEE, I looked forward to going to the new MTO Café to try more of its offerings at the source. So, Diane and I met another couple there to do just that.
At first I was put off a bit by the spartan interior, lack of any other customers at the time, and that there was no waiter service. For some reason, I had it in my head that the MTO Café would be much like the Sahara’s old bustling full-​service Nascar Café, and be a haven for comfort food. I was right on the second supposition, but in error on the first. And, I was slightly embarrassed that I had recommended such a casual, seemingly fast food eatery as a place to sit down to dinner with friends.
But once the food arrived, and I gazed at and initially tasted my BLTAE, my concerns were quickly dispelled. My friends were pleased with their food: a Black & Blue Burger with French Fries, and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Soup, as was I. Only Diane lamented that her Hangover Burger was not medium rare as requested. Yet this place is decidedly not a fast food joint. Some very good creative cooking occurs here.
I had almost instructed the order taker to hold the egg, but thought it would be more sporting and adventurous to try a BLTAE just as is was intended to be served. This turned out to be a wise decision, for the oozing egg yolks from two quite large and perfectly prepared Sunnyside Up Fried Eggs lubricated and added flavor to the large sammie, which I had to figure out how best to eat. I was initially torn between cutting through one-​half of the heaping and rather messy sandwich with a knife and then eating it with a fork or wrestling with it by hand, before just picking it up with one hand the normal way and directing it at my mouth. But to get my mouth around this imposing specimen on a plate took some doing. Yet after opening my mouth like a gaping upraised garage door, sliding the loaded and egg yolk-​drenched bread slices inside, and then chomping down on the strips of crispy bacon, I was in comfort food heaven, and knew that this sandwich could be eaten in the conventional manner. Slices of red tomatoes and shards of lettuce, large chunks of very fresh avocado, and a generous heaping of excellent crisp matchstick Fries added to the enjoyment of my meal, along with a multi-​variety Coke dispenser with unlimited refills.
In rating a restaurant, In my book the quality and taste of food are of paramount importance. And, although the ambiance here was somewhat stark and resembled a school cafeteria, the place was clean, and restaurant staffers were friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
I expect to be back!

Having been to the original location Downtown I was relatively confident that I would enjoy this location as well, I we wrong. We came here for breakfast today, my mom ordered the Kentucky fried chicken and eggs and I ordered the tri tip and eggs with toasted brioche.
The food took longer than expected to come out and it was with disappointment that I note how little I enjoyed just about everything I tried. The brioche was barely toasted and somewhat cold, the eggs were a soggy mess as were the hash browns and the tri tip was absolutely flavorless. I was forced to douse my entire plate with salt, pepper and chili sauce to give it any sort of flavor whatsoever. My mom’s chicken was just as disappointing. The only thing about our meal that I enjoyed was the iced tea which was brewed well and strong.
I have no interest in returning to this location again.

I’m a fan of MTO’s Downtown location and the Downtown Summerlin spin off doesn’t disappoint either. Their version of Kentucky fried chicken ($ 13) is similar in name only to the fast food spot with the same name. The chicken here has a thick, well seasoned crust that virtually cracks open. With two eggs over easy, mash browns, and country gravy, this is one of the better breakfast dishes around. Other breakfast dishes are well crafted, like the chorizo skillet and you can’t go wrong with the bacon dippers –strips of bacon covered in pancake batter.
The juicy patty and the salty and sharp blue cheese in the black and bleu burger ($ 13) make a for a great combo. But, you’ll need plenty of napkins while eating it. Save some of those napkins for the chicken in a waffle ($ 13) too. Covered in country gravy along with maple syrup it can be messy but delicious. Their version of chicken pot pie ($ 15) uses biscuits instead of a typical pastry crust topping, but flavors come through, just the same. It’s creamy and packed with pulled chicken, although it could have benefitted from more vegetables.
They’ve also got a kid’s menu with chicken fingers, waffles, and grilled cheese sandwiches. For fast-​casual comfort food with a modern twist, they’ve got all the bases covered for the whole family any time of day.

Was hungry during lunch hours so why not brunch right? Passed this place numerous times located in Downtown Summerlin, me and wifey decided to go check it out. The minute me and wifey walked in we were greeted loudly «welcome to MTO Café!»
I waited impatiently in line for about 7 minutes before I could order which I think was a bit long, there were only two in front of me. I ordered the Turkey Melt along with their New England clam chowder, with a cup for water. I paid via their tablet system with a credit card, using my finger to sign. The cashier gave me a number to place on my table so they would know where to bring the food.
This place is unique in that other then the staff bringing your food you do all the work. From getting the utensils and napkins to even getting the condiments up front by the register. I honestly don’t mind this approach as 1 it’s less to worry about them screwing something up and 2 there is not spot to tip on the bill! Only a tip jar. They must pay their employees handsomely.
The ambience seemed busy as it was crowded but definitely welcoming with its random art and warm color tones. They even have USB ports by their seats in case you need to charge up. The Clam Chowder was awesome, had bacon bits in it, which they told me about beforehand. The turkey melt was equally amazing, although I feel they skimped on the cheese, also not to crazy about stringy fries but that’s just a personal preference.
So aside from the wait, stringy fries, and lack of enough cheese in my sandwich I’d say for sure we’ll be coming back again as my complaints aren’t that dire.

Two words come to mind — overpriced and mediocre.
I went to MTO last weekend with a girlfriend, her son and my little brother. We arrived around 11, and the place was pretty packed. The menu was fairly limited, but I settled on the Hangover Burger and ordered the BLTAE for my little guy. I about choked when she told me my total. I could have been served and paid much less. I guess they use better ingredients, but you really can’t tell in the final product.
Our food came out promptly, and I was expecting greatness. The burger was smothered in some sort of sauce — maybe thousand island and iceberg lettuce. The whole entire time I was eating this concoction I was thinking of Smashburger’s Sin City burger, which is about half the cost and 1000 times more tasty.
There is no reason to ever return. There are plenty of other options in DS. Skip this one!

I love the food at MTO — Downtown more than this location. They pretty much have the same menu items but for some reason the execution isn’t the same.
Banana Nutella Muffin:
I had such great expectations for this muffin that I bought 3 for me, myself and I — we were all disappointed. Me thought it lacked Nutella. Myself added more Nutella on the 2^nd muffin. I didn’t waste any more time and calories on the 3^rd muffin and just tossed it. I mean, if you’re going to put key ingredients onto the name of the menu item, those ingredients better exist! You can taste banana but the Nutella was lightly drizzled on top of the muffin — so sad. The muffin itself lacked texture and was very dense and dry. I’m not expecting cupcake… but a muffin should not be like this at all. ¹⁄₅
Turkey Melt:
Turkey, avocadoes, cheese and tomatoes. Comes with fries and pickles. Nothing crazy, nothing fancy, nothing extremely different, nothing noteworthy. ³⁄₅
What you should definitely try: Hangover Burger, skillets, Fat Elvis and apple rings. Those are good!

Came for lunch at the MTO Café on a Monday afternoon (MLK day) and it was extremely busy. That was okay with me because you counter order, then get a number so your food can be brought to you. The long line gave me a chance to peruse the paper menu before I could read the menu board at the counter. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the outside tables were in the shade at that time, so I was glad a table opened up inside when we were ready to sit down.
It was a nice day, but a little chilly walking around Downtown Summerlin, so it felt like a soup and sandwich day to us. When we got to the counter, we were told that, while the menu includes both cup and bowls of soup, they did not have cups available. Okay… so we ordered bowls. This was definitely not a cheap lunch. 2 orders of soup, sandwiches, and sodas was $ 50.
I ordered the tomato basil soup, which was hot, rich, and hearty. It says it comes with «cheddar toast», which I assumed was like a crustini, but it was actually a sliver of regular grilled cheese… and it was really good. The soup and «toast» was a meal, I didn’t need anything else. But on to my sandwich. I ordered the Grilled Cheese. Unlike the kind that came with my soup, this one consisted of brie, honey, & toasted walnuts on brioche. I was trying something outside the box for me, but I’m not sure why I thought I would like this. I really think this sandwich will appeal to a lot of people, but it’s just not for me. However, the side salad that came with the sandwich was Amazing. Baby greens, roasted peppers, a fantastic balsamic. Yum.
The BF ordered the calm chowder and he said it was one of the best he’s had in Vegas. Both for flavor and the mass amount of actual clams in the dish. This chowder was enough for a meal, but he has also ordered the Hero sandwich. It has grilled chicken, prosciutto, salami, and a mix that looked just like my salad. He took most of it home, but said it was terrific.
All in all, we enjoyed the fresh space, the food, the Freestyle Coke machine, and we will be back sometime when we take the 40 mile journey to Downtown Summerlin.

I decided to check this place out with my coworkers. It’s a cute, bright, modern, casual, hipster joint where you order at the counter, they give you a #, and bring out your food. We ordered the chicken in a waffle, queso fundido, 5 cheese mac-​n-​cheese, and an avocado skillet. Our food came out fast, probably less than five minutes. I enjoyed everything I tasted. Service is efficient and they came by often to check up on us and take away our plates when we were done.
The only thing that threw me off — I was going to get a cup of soup with my mac-​n-​cheese but was told they only offer bowls so I didn’t order soup. I didn’t want to eat that much since I was already ordering a heavy, comfort meal. It bugs me when restaurants don’t offer what’s in writing. Other than that, I thought the food was good enough for me to come back. My coworkers and I liked it so I’m sure we will be back.

Rolled in here for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 10am. I was semi-​surprised that there were only ½ the tables taken, maybe it was too early for the Vegas shopping crowd.
Trendy little café, with a modern look. Not a place I would take a date for a quiet fashionable meal. Not a whole lot of ambiance here.
I ordered the Fat Elvis, which is french toast filled with peanut butter, banana, and bacon. Topped with lots of fresh fruit. It was very tasty and I enjoyed it. They have tropical ice tea and regular ice tea available, as well as your normal soft drinks from the fancy multiple flavor coke machine.
The nice girl who took the order was very friendly, and helpful. She made a few recommendations and explained a little bit about how the process works where you order up front, get a number, and have a seat. Food came out fast. Very pleasant people working here.
I’ll be back to sample other menu items. Its clean, friendly, and not too expensive.
