Citizens Kitchen & Bar is a vibrant American restaurant and bar nestled right on South Las Vegas Boulevard, catering to those seeking hearty, approachable New American fare throughout the day. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or settling in for a casual dinner, it offers a lively atmosphere that taps into the pulse of the Strip without the usual pretension.

Morning visitors will find comfort in dishes like the Ultimate Breakfast, the crowd-pleasing Citizens Breakfast Burrito, and thick, fluffy pancakes that have drawn praise from locals and travelers looking to fuel up. Coffee here often comes with a twist like the Maple Bacon Coffee, complementing a menu that melds familiar favorites—chicken and waffles, avocado toast—with bold flavors suited to the Las Vegas energy.

By midday and into the evening, Citizens shifts gears gracefully into a bar & grill vibe. The bar's lineup, including inventive takes like the Ultimate Bloody Mary and indulgent shakes such as the Rocky Road Milkshake, fits well with their shareable plates and classic comfort foods. The Citizens Prime Rib and fish tacos are recommended for those wanting a satisfying meal without straying from approachable American dishes.

What sets Citizens apart is the easygoing, upbeat atmosphere. The vibe is enhanced by a playlist that invites low-key dancing at the table and a sense that both guests and staff are genuinely enjoying themselves. Service feels personal and attentive without feeling overbearing, making it suitable for folks dropping in solo, groups looking for a fun brunch spot, or couples seeking a casual dinner stop near the hustle of the Strip.

Prices here manage to stay reasonable in an area known for high charges, striking a balance that appeals especially to locals, hotel guests, and visitors who want comfort food without sacrificing quality or a dynamic setting. The bustling energy during weekend brunches contrasts with quieter weekday mornings where you might easily grab a spot at the bar and catch up on some reading or people watch.

Who will enjoy Citizens Kitchen & Bar?

  • Breakfast lovers in search of classic yet flavorful morning plates with a twist
  • Groups looking for a lively, friendly atmosphere near the Strip
  • Anyone wanting well-priced American comfort food paired with cocktails in a relaxed but upbeat setting
  • Travelers staying nearby who find many hotel eateries closed early or extravagantly priced

Best times to visit tend to be weekend brunch when the energy peaks and the menu shines with favorites, or weekday mornings when it’s easy to snag a bar seat and enjoy a leisurely meal. Evenings bring a casual dinner crowd but with a vibrant bar atmosphere that still feels accessible.

We had the fish tacos, wings and fries! Everything tasted great. I think the fish tacos could use a little more acidity - less mayo, but prob would order them again anyway lol. Loved the buffalo sauce and the rice that came with the tacos was delicious. 10/10 for atmosphere!! The playlist had me singing and dancing in my seat. The staff seemed to be really enjoying themselves - such good energy! Sarah H was a super friendly and attentive server. EDIT (about 6 hours later) - stopped by Citizen’s to Go that was open late. Had the breakfast sandwich (nice fluffy bun with perfectly cooked ham and bacon) and the chocolate banana bread (so moist with little chocolate chips).. both were so good that we’ll be back tonight!! Staff was super kind here too and food was quick.

Incredibly delicious food! Excellent service. We were blessed to have Leslie! The breakfast burrito was so freaking good! The pancakes were incredibly thick and fluffy. The drinks were also very tasty. My older daughter enjoyed the cinnamon toast crunch milkshake! BEST BREAKFAST EVER!

Our waiter was great. We had the steak and frites and spicy tuna poke bowl. Both were great! I loved the steak. The flavor was awesome and didn’t need steak sauce. Prices were great compared to everything else around it as well! While everything in this area is expensive this is about the most fair priced you are going to get without leaving the area.

Stopped in for a quick bite, sat at the bar and had great service n food. Ordered the breakfast burrito which was hearty and very flavorful. Was a nice spot to find Tuesdays morning when most other spots in this hotel were closed.

I stopped by Citizens at Mandalay Bay during my trip and was really impressed. I ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta and it was excellent—rich, creamy, and full of flavor with perfectly cooked pasta. The portion was generous too. What really stood out was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right from start to finish. Great atmosphere, quality food, and top-notch service. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Vegas.

The meals here are tasty and awesome and the portions were big. However the lady at the check in counter wasn’t that friendly and warm. She has this icy look and she looked like she wants to be somewhere other than there. Sometimes I wonder why we are tipping service staff who doesn’t let us feel welcome and that they look like they don’t enjoy the job or like to serve customers. Please allocate someone who has a warm personality. Front line service staff is so important.

Very solid breakfast food! This reminds me of First Watch, a local breakfast chain in my hometown. And I have to admit that Citizens is better. This is located on the casino floor in Mandalay Bay. There’s a turn-of-the-century decor here and a takeout stand! Lines can be long especially in the late morning. The service was very good and our food came out quickly. About the food, it came in large portions and it’s delicious! I got the biscuits and gravy and the biscuits are fried, and the gravy has a hint of pepper included. I also really liked the potatoes which were flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed my time! Would recommend.
