| - This is probably more of a 3.5 star review. I keep going back and forth whether to give this place 3 stars or 4 on the Yelp rating.
After drinking enough booze to kill an elephant at the Lee's event at the Hilton, my husband and I wanted to run crazy around Fremont Street and zipped in a cab here last weekend.
We were really hungry - and saw this place and decided that being drunk might be the only time we would be brave enough to eat here. I found it surprisingly pretty decent, not the best burger I've ever tasted, as that title goes to Annie's Island Fresh Burgers on Big Island, Hawaii:

They use good quality meat but char the hell of it to like Medium/Well done, something I wish they would change to make a better, juicier burger. Don't get anything more than a single unless you want to be sick, it is more than enough food. I'm under the impression that if we were to have gone there earlier, or at least not on a Saturday night, that the burgers would have probably been a little better cooked. The fries, however, were very well cooked and very flavorful. Some of the best I have had in town.
I came in knowing about the hospital gowns and was expecting them, and thought they were really cool. I'm not sure why people would go to a gimmick restaurant and then complain about the gimmick, but c'est la vie. It's like when a vegetarian goes to a steakhouse and complains there is no food for them. If you don't like this sort of thing - don't go.
One big complaint I have is that it was so loud in the restaurant that we even had trouble placing our order, much less carrying on any kind of drunken conversation. There was a band playing there, who was very good, and all were wearing the standard scrubs and nurses outfits. It was funny. But while I appreciate and love live music very much, having to shout our orders at the top of our lungs right into the waitress's ear several times does kind of leave a bad first impression.
Overall this is a pretty decent place at the moment. They have a few kinks that they need to work out with the noise and ensuring that they cook the burgers properly regardless of the time of day. But you can tell the owner of this location cares enough to buy quality product and because of that I think this place has a lot of potential. I am sure we will find ourselves back here some day to see if things have improved.
