| - I was extremely excited to try this place and looking very forward to giving it a good review. Sadly, Bobby's palace turned out to be similar to the ice palace in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for me. It enticed me in with promises of endless delight and then crushed my dreams. At least no one turned to stone, though.
The best thing about this place for me has to be the location. We were hungry after walking the strip and it was easy to get in and out with direct strip access. It was all downhill from there.
We ordered a variety of menu items and found out they couldn't be customized. We asked for additional items on burgers and some to be removed from other burgers and were told they were limited and couldn't add or remove items. Bobby's Palace, Bobby's burger. I realize that a chef crafts a meal to achieve a certain result, but this is a casual burger joint. There isn't even wait staff.If I want a tomato on my burger is that really a huge deal? When I asked the reason for the controlled menu I was given a response that if the burgers were customized by patrons Bobby couldn't be responsible for how people review them on Yelp because it ceases to be his recipe. Well, here you go. Once I pay for the burger doesn't it then becomes mine? If I want a tomato than I feel like that should be acceptable. It's not foie gras or any type of fancy gastronomical creation.
My second critique would be the price. I get it, it's Vegas and it's the strip. I should expect to spend more than standard prices, but I fed my whole family at the Cheesecake Factory at Caesars Palace for the same price with tip.
My third downside here may be an upside for some people, but I am not really a fan of the communal seating. It feels like a cafeteria to me and not a restaurant. It's not private and not particularly kid friendly since your kid may be impacting the meal of patrons surrounding you at the tables. It is also hard to talk or have an intimate conversation.
The most personal disappointment for me here, though, was the salad. It was tiny for the price, the produce was less than fresh, and I did not enjoy the mix of flavors. I had the crunch salad and the bitterness of the radicchio, cucumber, and feta combine with the vinaigrette was overwhelming. The flavors built on each other to amplify that bitterness and the avocado, romaine, and chickpeas were not enough to balance the flavor.
The only thing I really enjoyed here were the onion rings which were fairly good.
