| - Where do burgers like to dance? At a meat ball!
Where do I even begin with this place? From the atmosphere to the appetizer to the meals themselves, the experience was wonderful.
From the moment that we arrived at the restaurant, we were very impressed with the atmosphere that it gave off. Being that the majority of the Cosmopolitan is very dark and sleek looking, there was a bit of juxtaposition that takes place with having a place like Holstein's in there. The lighting inside of the restaurant gives off a very warm and inviting vibe, and there's all sorts of cool (cow-related) artwork filling the inside of the restaurant. It's very fun!
On a Friday night, we were seated immediately, which kind of surprised me, being that Holstein's is in a very popular hotel on the strip, and on a night where people are usually out and about. I probably helped that we got there before the clubbing crowd hit, though, so there's that. Either way, it was fast, and I like that! Then, as soon as we were seated, we were brought our complimentary popcorn appetizer, which, I must say, was quite the tasty start to our meal. I actually had to make an effort to not fill up on the popcorn too much before the we got our actual burgers.
Before we even got our burgers, though, I made sure to check in on Yelp! And boy am I glad that I did, because we were able to snag a free beer through a promotion that they have going on with Yelp, wherein you get a free beer with your first check-in to the restaurant. I didn't finish it because of how tasty and filling the burger and fries were, but it was really nice! I got a tiny bit of 'tude from the waiter when asking about the promotion, but I can look past that.
When we finally got our food (which didn't take very long at all), it looked so delicious that I had a hard time stopping to take some pictures of it to accompany my review. I ordered the Nom Nom burger, which consisted of Kobe beef, cheddar cheese, potato chips, and thousand island dressing, and The Empress, miss Joyce W. ordered the Urth burger, a vegetarian burger consisting of a house made vegan patty with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, and avocado.
As soon as I took a bite of my burger, I knew instantly that it was without a doubt the best burger I've ever had. I don't know if it was some sort of placebo effect caused by my knowing that the burger was made with Kobe beef, or that the burger was just plain delicious, but man was it good. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium and the cheese was melted evenly all over the burger, and in a generous amount. There was also a generous amount of potato chips on the burger, which gave it such a nice crunch with every bite. I don't think that I had a bite of that burger that didn't have a bit of potato chip in it. The thousand island dressing on the burger was also delicious. The entire burger was just so good, right down to the bun. With just one bite, even The Empress could taste the deliciousness. Even her own vegetarian burger was delicious, which in itself is not something you'd expect to eat at a place like Holstein's where it's all about the beef.
Even the fries and onion rings that we shared were awesomely done. Both of the sides were nice and thick, and in, yet again, generous portions, which I can really appreciate. We couldn't even finish all of it because the burgers were so good and filling, and there was just so much in general.
Overall, Holstein's provided a 5/5 experience for us through and through. I only wish we'd had enough time to go back there to try more of their wonderful creations. I know there wasn't one burger on that menu that I didn't want to try.
If ever you find yourself in Vegas, I would say to make a point to try out Holstein's.
