| - This review is not based on the view of the mountains, I was up there working, so I could see the mountains, independent of dining there.
We ordered two burgers, one a cheeseburger the other a patty melt served with seasoned fries, and two iced teas. The bill was $35 w/tax, a bit steep, even taking into consideration the cost to get the food up the mountain. The same food would be $23 w/tax in town.
One thing I found curious is they serve chili, they serve chili dogs, they serve chili nachos, but they don't serve chili burgers. I asked about it and was told, no I can't get a chili burger. I suppose I could order a bowl of chili at $10 and make my own. But if I think $12 is high for a cheeseburger, I'm not going to spend $22 to make my own chili burger.
The burgers were half pound. I had the patty melt, it was good. I ordered it medium and it was medium, the fries were good. My coworker had the cheeseburger, he said it was good.
The service was slow and the place wasn't busy. I wasn't asked if I would like my tea refilled. I could have asked for the refill, but because I was going to yelp, I wanted to see if they would ask., they didn't.
Most of the reviews talk of coming up the mountain to get out of the heat, or for the view. If I might suggest, you could put an ice chest in your car, pick up some chicken or sandwiches on the way and have a picnic on the mountain. It would save you enough to pay for the gas and then some. Also, you would have a better selection of views while having lunch and the kids would like the exploring.
Update: Since I like to be fair, I received this from Thomas at the Mt Charleston Lodge. "I am sorry for the error, your server was wrong we can add chili to any burger for a 2 dollar charge. Sorry for the confusion Thanks"
I appreciate this feedback from Thomas. I may try the location again and have a chili burger. If so, I will report back.
