| - When the daily conversation inevitably turned to "what's for lunch?", the suggestions didn't come as easily as they normally do. In fact, it took so long to decide, we just rolled out of work and kind of went "on the fly", much later than usual and right in the middle of the traditional lunch hour. I thought we were headed for a chinese buffet, but I wasn't driving (or paying attention) and somehow we wound up in the area of Lake Mead and Tenaya, surrounded by a plethora of choices for the midday meal.
Not being one to ever pass on an opportunity for a good burger, I said "what about Smashburger?" We rolled in to a crowded parking lot and thought we might have to find another place to dine, as we are not the patient kind, did not want to wait in line and were beyond hungry. As luck have it, the crowded parking lot is kind of deceptive. We walked in and were pleasantly surprised there was no wait. The lunch crowd here seemed to get a little bigger closer to the end of the noon hour.
Whoever came up with the idea to put a fried egg on a burger should be Knighted, or at least be made king for a day. The Sin City Burger was fantastic. The meat was fresh and flavorful. The egg and all that accompanied it made the burger that much better. I opted for the Buffalo Fries, and they didn't disappoint. Seasoned with Buffalo seasoning, they were hot (to the touch), a little spicy and full of flavor. The service was fast and friendly and they even came to clean off the table.
If you are looking for a great meal in the middle of the day, served fast and fresh, give Smashburger a try. I've eaten at many of the other options in the area and Smashburger definitely holds their own when it comes to quality, service and price.
