| - I was endlessly impressed with this quirky, classy Vegas Burger and Shake joint.
Our taxi driver suggested it when my girlfriend was craving chicken wings. We all did need a base layer before a hectic night out on the strip. Normally, if someome suggests a joint, I am left with limited things I tend to eat. I stood corrected in this case.
We found the restaurant easily and were greeted by several friendly hostesses. The decor is funky and modern with strange pictures of pickle-people and cows. We sat at an oversized booth and as I started to look at the menu, I found my savior: The Urth Burger. That's right folks, a vegan burger.
My party got a few orders of chicken wings, a Caesar salad, Ahi tostadas and I ordered the Urth burger with sweet potato fries.
Warren was our server and he was friendly and very hospitable. Thanks to Yelp! I found out flavored rums were $4. The girls ordered a few cocktails and C and I stuck with waters.
We peppered Warren with questions about the area and tattoo parlors and he tried his best to help us. He did seem moderately overwhelmed so we were forgiving of his mild forgetfulness.
Our food came out and the presentation was gorgeous! My burger was massive and absolutely amazing. The patty had a perfect blend of spices to be flavorful, yet not overpowering and it was popped with a generous portion of avocado, sprouts, tomato and lettuce. It is definitely a veg heads burger! The drinks came out shortly after the food, which was a little unopportunistic but that is okay.
I would love to give this place 5 stars, but the pace of dining is what killed it. I loved Warren as a server and it is not like we were in a massive hurry, but over 15 minutes for drinks from the time we ordered and about 8 minutes for our bill knocked it down a star.
I would absolutely recommend it and plan to go back though!
