| - Returned to Bottles + Burgers today and nothing has changed: this restaurant is still as excellent and as underrated as ever. It seems they've listened to the comments here on Yelp as all burgers are now larger than they used to be and also come with chips.
Meaning that I, a hungry chick with plenty of belly room, ended up leaving several bites of burger on my plate, and the chips - while light and tasty - went mostly untouched in favor of the sweet potato fries and Double Helix fries on the side. I know people were complaining here about not getting the artisan fries included with their burgers, but that's a boggle. This isn't a diner, folks, and prices are low enough to encourage ordering a $4 side of fries.
But now everyone can be happy, so come on back, ye grumpy little Yelpsters, and please give B+B another go. (My prodding here is entirely selfish; I don't want to lose the best vegetarian burger in Las Vegas.)
This time I tried a different salad (the one with bleu cheese and mandarin) and it was every bit as subtle yet flavorful as the "Pear"fection salad I had last time. As my husband suggested to the waiter, it would be good if they offered half-salads (even if not for half-price) because the salads are almost a full meal. Now that the burgers are bigger and include chips, I would have to rethink the salad next time or else be more wasteful than I'd like, and it would be a shame to miss out on the salad.
What I didn't try was the old-fashioned sodas, which is odd because normally I'm all about notching new soft drinks. I think I avoided it because, in the photos on the table, the "special" sodas look like nothing more than bottles of Jones Soda knockoffs. I like Jones, but it's not amazing. Besides, when I hear the term "old-fashioned soda," I'm thinking of hand-pulled egg creams and lime rickeys. But I guess they call it BOTTLES+Burgers for a reason.
Still, if they're taking suggestions, it would be great if B+B became sort of like the restaurant version of Rocket Fizz, selling a wide variety of lesser-known (or less-available) drinks. Surely the valley's many soda fiends would love to be able to go out to eat and get something more exotic than a Jarritos or IBC. (Locally made Joe's Cola, with that hint of honey taste, or Fresh Ginger Ale, with the pulpy ginger bits, would be my top choices.)
I wouldn't mind more non-alcoholic milkshake options, either. I'm sure the standard choc/van/straw offerings are tasty given the quality of the rest of the fare (there is a daily special, but on today's visit it was just double chocolate), but I still dream of BLT's Nut Job milkshake, and I loathe BLT in every other way. Not to get greedy, but if B+B had even a fraction of Cheeburger Cheeburger's shake/malt (malt!) selection, I wonder if I'd still be able to just walk in and get a table without a wait. Summer is coming. A more inventive shake (or malt!) selection for all ages would be a great break from the oppressive heat.
But again, this is a great restaurant, casual for any time of group yet aesthetically pleasing and creative. The servers are friendly; the owner often checks up on tables to make sure all is well; their social marketing presence is useful and personal, and the food is just screaming tasty.
