| - I am a big fan of Gordon Ramsay. I've watched his shows (Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares UK and USA, Masterchef) and been intrigued as to which of his Vegas restos (he got 3 here) should I try first. BurGR seemed to be the best choice to start (and the cheapest). The 30 min wait was expected. Bleh...
Food: I got the $14 Farm Burger (duck breast bacon, English sharp cheddar cheese and a fried egg), $7 Just Fries with curry and chipotle ketchup, and the $8 Shake #5 (chocolate hazelnut pudding with coffee shake and a praline cookie).
First off, let's talk about the burger. The burger was good with the oozing, decadent egg yolk and the crispy bacon which added a nice crunch component. I honestly though wasn't blown away by it and I would probably would want to try the other burgers on the menu if i came back here again.
Secondly, the shake was rich and sweet. I thought the coffee shake tasted like a butterscotch candy in liquid form and the pudding was pretty thick. The one thing I would change would be the ratio. I noticed the glass that they put 1/2 the amount of pudding and 1/2 of the shake. When I finished the shake portion on the bottom, all I was left with was the pudding. Being that it was soooo rich, I wasn't able to finish that. So next time, I would ask for 95% shake and 5% pudding. FYI, i overhead a lady next to me telling the waiter she didn't like her shake bc it was too sweet.
Lastly, the fries. I didn't care much for the fries. The curry and chipotle ketchups were ok tasting. The one thing that I was disappointed in was that the fries were not crispy AT ALL. When the bacon in your burger is crispy and your fries are not, it really downgrades the experience. I would probably try the sweet potato fries next time.
Ambience: Though i wasn't really impressed with the food, this was probably one of the nicest restos i've ever seen! The room had a lot of tables with some tvs and really nice decor (flames and fire inspired).
Staff: The staff was very well-dressed and professional. Our server (I think his name was Ryan) was great and he was very cordial and knowledgable about menu. The ladies are dressed in very well-fitted (like Star Trek fitted) dresses and the men are in polos with jeans that I observed had "GR" on the back pockets.
