| - It's a novelty. A total tourist destination. The ghastily menu sucked us in. No apologies, pure fat and flavor, nicely done. The decor is a bit cheesy, but this aint the Ritz. The nurses don't fall far from the Hooters prototype and they play their roles nicely enough with big smiles, big hair and big visible bustlines. But, what hasn't made the food shows that I know of, is the practice of paddling the patients that don't finish their "treatments". This pushes the cheese factor about three levels beyond Hooters. The paddling is popular (and optional). Helped I'm sure by singleness, or alcohol, it seems to be a means to an end for a lot of patrons....but it totally freaked my wife out. It's loud and distracting and focused in the center of the dining area. It's a bit too white trash for my taste. If it's so popular, put it in the corner or in a special O/R room with observation gallery and have at it.
My burger was quite edible. Well prepared and flavorful. It's not Five Guys or Fuddruckers, nor a memorable burger experience to warrant any serious burger crave. But, there is no challenge to wolf it down and they are quite liberal with the bacon. For it's notoriety, it's a harmless tourist experience that doesn't tie up too much money or time. Not a place to take kids or people with closed minds about what restaurants should be, but a worthwhile visit if you're on Freemont Street.
