| - After watching numerous shows on television about Gordon Ramsay that piqued my desire to try dining at one of his restaurants, I decided to opt for a "lower" (relative term) cost option at the Planet Hollywood. Walking in, I saw a bunch (read 6 or 7) of hostesses in short skirts and iPads making small talk with people around. "This place is decorated fancy," I thought. The tables looked pristine and there were pictures of Ramsay and fire (hinting Hell's Kitchen I suppose) all around. I could not miss the huge Keg Cellar in the background. This is what I expected a top chef bar/burger joint would look like - trendy, casual and spacious.
In spite of it being really late in the night - post midnight, and the place half full, our hostess insisted on feeding our information into her iPad to tell us that our table would be ready in 45 minutes. I must say time flies fast in Vegas because in 5 minutes we were texted that our table was ready. The hostess seemed like it was a daily affair - I guess iPad's do not replace brains and common sense.
Anyways, after being seated at our table, we had some time to ponder over our menu (as our server was busy serving two other tables at that time and the menu being short and sweet). She was polite but was not enthusiastic and seemed like she was doing a chore. Thanks to yelp we did not need any suggestions and we ordered shake, 2 burgers, a chicken slider plate and a side of fries.
Watching other dishes coming out of the kitchen, I was tempted - the hot dog was one of them, but alas we already had ordered too much food. To keep up with Celebrity chef standard, the food came out decorated really well, and looking appetizing.
The shake was the Creme Brulee (which others had praised on yelp). I thought it was good but a little heavy.. (maybe I am not a shake guy). My beer gave me good company while I waited anxiously for our food to arrive.
30 minutes later we received our Five Spice Chicken sliders. I could so pass this dish - fried chicken - meh!
Another 15 minutes and I received my burger (cut in two pieces which is awesome as I can't really fit the whole thing in my mouth anyway). I decided to sample my wife's Euro burger too, in addition to devouring my own Hell's Kitchen burger. The burger is not too big so you will definitely need your own. The meat was cooked perfectly (a plus for cutting the burger into two so you can see the inside). The Hell's Kitchen burger had the kick of the Jalapeno peppers (which I have found to be doused in other places). The Euro burger had some other toppings which were equally delightful. I find it hard to rank the two but as I liked the spice in the Hell's Kitchen burger I would probably give it a slight edge.
The Truffle Parmesan fries were tasty, a different flavor profile than I have tried before and were not too greasy. However the fries starting seeming soggy as I passed the first few. It appeared that they had been prepared a few minutes (10 or more) earlier and were lying under the lamp heat. I would still say these fries are a try at BURGR.
Overall, due to the trendy atmosphere, tasty burgers, nicely decorated plates AND moderately decent service, silly experience with the hostess and soggy fries I give it 3 stars.
