| - Man, every time I get food from here, I have mixed feelings. Kind of like a guilty pleasure, a cheap thrill, or eating a forbidden fruit. Yes, I went biblical there. These guys should be called "Greasers" instead. Every thing on the menu is FRIED.
I know I shouldn't be eating here but the word "Baconzilla" cannot be ignored. Imagine a huge piece of bacon the size of the Empire State Building walking around terrorizing people. Ok, maybe im the only one imagining that. Anyways, here you have two choices of their Baconzilla. One is their cheeseburger and the other is a big serving of their patented fries loaded with nacho cheese, barbeque sauce, tons of bacon bits, and two strips of bacon. I kid you not, after trying to eat the Baonzilla Fries, I could not bring myself to eat the two strips of bacon for I had a lot of bacon flavor already with all the bacon bits they drowned the fries with.
The prices here are really good. You get a lot of greasy goodness for not a lot of money. They have specials all the time. What I got was the Chicken Strip meal for 2 bucks. Comes with two chicken strips and fries. Not a bad deal. I paired that with the Baconzilla Fries for 2.99 so for 5 bucks and some change, I had a pretty good lunch.
Service is ok. Since they are open 24 hours, you will always get different employees with different issues. You will have different experiences here ranging from good, bad, to plain just awful. Don't expect a lot from a chain that is open 24 hours that is located in a sketchy part of town especially at night.
Speaking of their location, they are located on the southwest corner of Desert Inn Road and Boulder Highway. Since Boulder Highway is a busy street with a bunch of casinos just a mile or two down the road, you are guaranteed to have different "Characters" hanging out here. Peeps from prostitutes, pimps, drug addicts, drug dealers and homeless people to drunks, hitchhikers, joggers, students, and the occasional out of town vacationer because all the good places are closed already. Keep in mind that most weird activities happen as soon as the sun goes down and multiplies even more from midnight to 4 am. Like my momma always said, nothing good ever happens between 12 and 4 am.
As for the layout of the place, you have two drive through entrances which is why you would think would give you really fast service. Umm.....no. In reality, it slows everything down because when you have both drive thrus occupied, they don't have a full crew at each station. Instead, they take turns processing orders. What I think is dumb is that if you go in the left drive thru, the cashier will be on your right side so if you are by yourself, you have to reach across to pay and get your order. It's even harder if you don't have power windows.
So for those that have munchies and want some greasy goodness at no matter what time of the day, this is the place to go. Just make sure your head is on a swivel if you come here at night. For those that are from Southern California, they have this there as well but they go by the name of Rally's. For the longest time, this was the only location in Vegas. Now they just opened up another one off of Rancho Drive.
