| - Hey now. Three stars means A-OK, okay? Will I make it a habit of coming here again and again? Probably not. When my subconscious is craving a burger, is this my first, second, or even third choice? No.
I debated between a 3 and 4 star rating because realistically this is 3.5* in my book. With that said, there is some pretty stiff competition in the burger scene in Las Vegas.
While customer service, cleanliness, and efficiency of receiving the food (despite being busy) are an A+, the food just lacked the oomph.
Items tried:
Santa Barbara style - the description alone sounded like a burger I would like.
It is a double char burger with cheese and avocado on grilled sourdough. I love avocado, but that is all I tasted. No other notes of anything shining through. No crack sauce. $5.95.
Teriyaki char - pretty good taste overall! There's that sauce I was looking for. It's not too salty or sweet, it's just right. What upsets me is how teeny tiny the pineapple was. The pineapple was flat, thin, and dry. I guess the only positive is that they use fresh pineapples because of it's irregular shape and poorly cut portion. It's definitely not your standard pineapple ring from a can. I feel guilty for even wishing I had one of those canned pineapple rings in my burger. I think a bigger, juicier pineapple would have elevated the flavor of the burger. $3.45 + cheese $0.55
Albacore tuna filet sandwich - this is prepared medium. For sandwiches, there is a choice of bread: French roll, grilled sourdough, or wheat bun. I only sampled this, since it was my husband's order. It was really good! Not fishy at all. I was more impressed with the sandwich than the burgers. $6.95
Tempura green beans - different, but good! What a neat way to eat your veggies. My kid enjoyed this one. $2.95
Mocha shake - consistency was off. It was a little more chocolate-y than expected. I regret not trying the coffee shake instead. $3.25
Beware of the corporate lunch crowd. It can get pretty busy.
Healthier options include a lettuce wrapped burger AKA "protein style," veggie burger, and six different salads.
Looking to try more of the sandwiches on future visits.
