I don't really understand how this place is supposed to have the best burgers in all of Vegas. Vegas must really lack good burgers.
The ambiance is kind of weird - resembling a lounge/club in the front bar area and almost like an Applebee's in the back dining room. Well, an Applebee's with Japanese style cartoon cows on the walls.
Burgers here are really just mediocre at best. My veggie burger was mushy and didn't taste of the "12 veggies" the server proclaimed went into the patty at all! I have had a handful of great veggie burgers elsewhere, sometimes at a fraction of the price. Their veggie patty really tasted no different from a Garden burger (you know, the frozen kind).
Okay, I'm sure you're laughing now about how I'm whining about the quality of a burger joint when I had the nerve to order a freaking veggie burger. Well, the oh-so popular "rising sun" burger the bf ordered wasn't too impressive either. Not only was the patty cooked to an almost well done when he specifically asked for medium rare, but the plethora of sweet Japanese BBQ sauce and various toppings totally overwhelmed the meat and was excessively salty, even for him! The one thing I did really enjoy was the sweet potato fries I ordered with my veggie burger, but I have rarely met a sweet potato fry that I didn't like.
The concept of Holstein's is pretty cool I guess, definitely fun and laid-back. However, they need to deliver on the execution. I would much rather save my calories for another restaurant, or just a few beers.
