| - I don't even know where to begin with this review, because I'll be quite honest - this place blew me away, completely.
My husband and I weren't expecting much when we pulled up to this tiny little place, located in a strip mall, of all things. We looked at one another uneasily, but decided to try it out anyway. And I think it's one of the best decisions we ever made.
From the very beginning, Carolyn and Robert were so friendly and outgoing. We got a warm welcome, free coffee, and menus from which to choose. And I had a really hard time choosing, because it ALL looked good. I have never ordered tater tots in my life from any restaurant, ever (mainly because I'm a firm believer that you can cook and doctor them up yourself) - but the bulgogi tots nearly swayed me, here. Sounded DELICIOUS.
In the end, I settled on a New Mexico burger, with a side of - yes - CANDIED BACON. Oh, em, effin, gee. My husband chose a Philly burger and requested that peppers be left off. His special request was handled, with good cheer.
As a matter of fact, everything was handled with that same pleasant atmosphere. I have to break from talking about the food for a moment, because the service here was just THAT extraordinary. Carolyn and Robert spoke with us as if we were lifelong friends, instead of just server/cook/customer. My husband and I don't usually warm up that fast to people, but this was a glaring exception.
Now, back to the food, heh.
The candied bacon was absolutely EXQUISITE. I have never had anything like it. Drizzled with a balsamic glaze, it was slightly tangy and yet sweet at the same time. This is a foodie's DREAM, this stuff. It was 3.95 and worth every damn penny.
The Philly burger has green peppers (left off at my husband's request), grilled onions, mushrooms and provolone cheese, while my New Mexico burger had ortega chilies, pepperjack, guacamole and a fried egg on top. Both had brioche style buns, very soft and pillowy. And the burgers were MASSIVE. There was at least half a pound of meat on each one. Both orders came with garlic fries, which were absolutely AMAZING. The garlic flavor was pronounced with every bite.
We wanted to take Carolyn up on her offer of fried cookie dough ice cream, but we were both absolutely STUFFED by then and couldn't eat another thing.
Total bill was under 20 dollars, which was amazing in and of itself. All offered tips go into a special jar that apparently goes toward Kailyn's (their daughter, whom the place is named after) education. Now THAT'S a business I can get behind.
Overall, it was just this lovely small-town feel that is lacking in almost every place you go these days. Amazingly, we met another couple of people from Maryland - 2500 miles from home, in Vegas at Kailyn's. How small a world is that?
If you stop ANYWHERE for breakfast in Vegas, make it here. You will thank me, I promise you. And have some candied bacon for me!
