Vegas Grill sits in one of the most photographed spots in south Tenerife: right on the Golden Mile in Playa de las Américas, with a terrace overlooking the strip and, on a clear evening, La Gomera on the horizon. It bills itself as a charcoal grill steakhouse, sends a magician around the tables most evenings, runs an all-you-can-eat BBQ on Tuesdays, and has built up over 5,000 reviews on Restaurant Guru alone. It is also, depending entirely on which night you go, one of the best meals of a south Tenerife holiday or a genuinely frustrating one.
This guide covers the two things people most want to know before booking, the menu and the prices, alongside the honest picture of the food and service. Most write-ups either gush about the steak or pile on about the wait times. Knowing what is actually on the menu, what it costs, what to order, and how to book properly makes a real difference to which version of the experience you get.
Genuinely excellent steaks when the kitchen is on form, ordered from a digital tablet menu in English with allergens marked. A spectacular Golden Mile terrace. An all-you-can-eat BBQ on Tuesday nights that is the best-value option. A real risk of long waits and inconsistency during busy periods. Priced at the higher end for the south, roughly €80 to €90 for two with drinks. Book ahead, particularly for the terrace.

Where It Is and What It Actually Is
Vegas Grill is inside the C.C. Oasis shopping centre on Avenida Las Américas, directly on the Golden Mile, the upmarket stretch of Playa de las Américas known for its restaurants and sea-facing terraces. It positions itself as a charcoal BBQ grill and steakhouse with a cocktail bar, and the format leans into a sense of occasion rather than a casual resort dinner: modern decor, a balcony with sea views towards La Gomera, live music on some nights, and a table magician doing rounds through service, a detail that comes up in a striking number of reviews, for better or worse depending on the diner.

The Menu, the Standout Dishes and What It Costs
You order from a digital tablet menu at the table, which is available in English and marks the allergens against every dish, so there is no wrestling with a Spanish card or relying on a verbal translation. It is a charcoal grill and steakhouse at heart, so steaks lead, but the menu runs reasonably wide across grilled meats, seafood, fajitas and a full dessert list.
On the steak side you will find fillet, ribeye, sirloin and T-bone, plus the showpiece, a Chateaubriand carved at the table that has become the restaurant’s calling card on TikTok for the presentation as much as the meat. Off the grill, the signature is the baby back ribs, and there is a mixed grill if you want a bit of everything. Beyond that the menu covers chicken and steak fajitas, grilled prawns, salmon, sea bass, cod, and a beef wellington that several reviewers try for the first time and enjoy. Starters include wings, a prawn pil pil and a shrimp soup, and for dessert the blueberry cheesecake is the standout across independent reviews, with a tiramisu and brownies alongside. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are flagged on the tablet.
Fillet or ribeye, cooked to a temperature you state clearly, are the safest steak picks. The Chateaubriand is the one to share for an occasion. Baby back ribs are the grill signature. Add the garlic and herb potatoes, which reviewers rate highly, and the garlic mushrooms. Prawn pil pil or wings to start, and the blueberry cheesecake to finish.
On price, Vegas Grill sits at the higher end of the resort dining scale. Individual mains generally fall between €10 and €30, with steaks, the better cuts and seafood pushing towards the top of that range, and sides, sauces and drinks charged separately on top. Reviewers reporting a spend of around €80 to €90 for two people with drinks is a realistic expectation for a proper dinner, while a lighter order of a main and a couple of drinks each can come in closer to €70. The menu is fairly focused rather than sprawling, which suits a grill. Exact prices change, so treat these as a guide and check the current tablet menu or their Facebook page.
Several reviews mention that sides such as mushrooms are charged per item rather than included, and one diner was briefly overcharged on the bill, so it is worth checking your order and the total before assuming a dish comes with everything shown. The headline menu price is rarely the whole story once sides and sauces are added.
How to Haggle at Tenerife Markets
The Tuesday All-You-Can-Eat BBQ
The single best-value reason to go, and the one most write-ups miss. On Tuesday evenings from 5:30pm, Vegas Grill runs what it bills as the biggest all-you-can-eat BBQ in town, with slow-smoked beef and pork ribs and other grilled meats kept coming until you tap out. If you want to eat well for a set price rather than watch an à la carte bill climb, this is the night to target, and it is heavily promoted on the restaurant’s own social media. It is popular, so check the current price and book ahead on their Facebook page rather than turning up on spec.
The Honest Bit: What Reviews Actually Say
This is the section most write-ups about Vegas Grill skip, and it is the most useful part of this guide. The review record across Tripadvisor, Restaurant Guru and Google is not uniformly positive, and the pattern in the criticism is consistent enough to take seriously rather than dismiss as a handful of bad nights.
| What Goes Right | What Goes Wrong |
|---|---|
| Steak cooked exactly as requested, particularly fillet and ribeye | Steak undercooked, overcooked, tough or arriving cold on a meaningful number of visits |
| Generous portion sizes across most dishes | Long wait times for food during busy evenings, sometimes well over an hour |
| Friendly, attentive staff, frequently named and praised individually | Service quality described as inconsistent between visits and between staff |
| Spectacular Golden Mile terrace and sea view | Diners turned away without a reservation while the restaurant appears half empty |
| Strong desserts and a genuinely good-value Tuesday BBQ | Prices considered high relative to what is delivered on an off night, and the odd billing error |
Vegas Grill is not a restaurant with one fixed standard, good or bad. It is one where the floor and ceiling are far apart. A good night is one of the better steak dinners in the south of Tenerife. A bad night is an overpriced, slow-served, average meal. Both are documented often enough that neither should surprise you, so the aim is to load the odds in your favour with the booking and ordering advice here.
Booking: How to Get the Table You Want
Vegas Grill takes reservations and reviewers consistently recommend using them, particularly for groups of three or more and for anyone who specifically wants a terrace or balcony table with the sea view. The most commonly mentioned booking route is messaging the restaurant’s Facebook page directly, which several diners use specifically to request balcony seating in advance, and you can also call the restaurant on +34 922 898 673.
Book ahead if you want the balcony view, especially in peak season, at weekends and for the Tuesday BBQ. If you arrive without a reservation, be prepared to be offered indoor-only seating even if outdoor tables look empty, as those are commonly held for booked guests. If timing matters, ask directly how busy the kitchen is before committing to waiting.
Allergies and Dietary Requirements
This is one of the more genuinely positive and consistent threads across reviews. The digital tablet menu clearly marks allergens against every dish, which diners with coeliac disease, nut allergies and other restrictions specifically praise as easier to navigate than a printed menu with verbal explanations, and it is the same tool that makes the menu easy to read in English. Staff are reported as proactive about flagging which sides or preparations might be affected, such as fried items cooked alongside other allergens.
Vegas Grill is not a dedicated gluten-free or allergen-free facility, and the kitchen handles a wide range of ingredients in the same space. The digital allergen menu is a genuinely useful tool, but anyone with a severe or life-threatening allergy should speak to staff directly before ordering rather than relying on the menu alone.
Making a Night of It on the Golden Mile
The Golden Mile has a dense concentration of restaurants, which makes a backup plan easy if Vegas Grill is fully booked. The Bank Steakhouse on Avenida Rafael Puig Lluvina is a direct steakhouse comparison nearby. For other cuisines in the same corridor, see our guides to the best Indian restaurants, the best Chinese restaurants, the best full English breakfasts for the morning after, and the best restaurants in Los Cristianos a short taxi away.
To build an evening around dinner, the terrace looks west towards La Gomera, so time your table for golden hour, and our guide to where to watch the sunset in south Tenerife has the best nearby spots for beforehand. If you want an activity earlier in the day, the marina at Puerto Colón, a short hop away, is where the boat trips leave from, including the Fiat 500 boat, and our things to do guide pulls the rest together.
Should You Book Vegas Grill?
You want a proper steak dinner with a sense of occasion, or the Tuesday all-you-can-eat BBQ for value. You are happy to pay resort premium prices for a Golden Mile terrace and view. You can book ahead and are not relying on a quick, walk-in dinner. You like the idea of a table magician and a livelier atmosphere rather than a quiet meal.
You are pushed for time and need a quick, reliably paced meal. You are on a tighter budget for the evening. You have had a previous disappointing experience here, since the inconsistency is real rather than imagined, and a repeat visit is not guaranteed to go differently.
