| - Solid 3-3.5 star spot! I think the RIGHT burger could have pushed me to a 4 personally.
It's almost a "hood burger" being on E Flamingo, without the super cheap prices and/or the home cookin' hospitality. Don't get me wrong, it's not expensive by any means, just not a Fat Boy for instance.
I went with the Pastrami Burger ($7.95): Chili, Swiss Cheese, Mustard & Pickle. SOLID burger, cooked to MR+ with initial juices on the squeeze. The chili is pretty good too and was the highlight of the burger for me :)
The burger also had lots of mustard...just wish the pastrami was a little more flavorful to compensate. It was cut thick, a bit chewy, and did not have the crispy / caramelized edges I love...reminded me of a less rendered pork belly / bacon consistency. It definitely got hidden in the burger/chili combination, until you had to chew it up separately of course, since the rest of the burger melts in your mouth in comparison.
Also ordered the Chili Cheese Fries ($3.95). Didn't realize the Pastrami Burger already came with Chili, so I was quite overloaded with it LOL. These were topped off with LOTS of Cheez Whiz...good stuff! A bit heavy in the end...I'd share with someone bigger than a 2yr old :P
I also got to try Roger's Garlic Parmesan Fries...these were pretty tasty! TONS of parmesan cheese clumped up in small bits, with a good amount of garlic flavor. Recommended :)
With burger, chili cheese fries and a drink, I was at $15. This felt fair in my book, but perhaps you guys should consider a combo meal (Roger's idea)? One of the tame burgers, basic fries and a fountain drink for $9.95 for instance?
I am sure I will be back to try another burger since it isn't too far from the strip :)
