| - Came in for a late lunch/early dinner around 5. Immediate seating, although finding the place while parked in the Miracle Mile is a miracle in itself. The restaurant is off one of the main entrances, but a bit of a walk if you park in the shopping center garage.
Cute waitresses and hostesses in skin tight dresses serve the masses of customers. All are very attentive and responsive, and our drinks were promptly brought to us. The kids shared a toffee and chocolate shake, wife and I had ice teas. The shake was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Creamy, not overly sweet, bit thick in the beginning, but nice and smooth a few minutes in; kids wrapped it up before our onion ring appetizers even hit the table.
Hellfire burger (wife), farm burger (me), and american burger (split for the kiddos), with some truffle fries for everyone to share.
Hellfire burger was awesome. Bit of bite in the spice from the pepper, creamy cheese melted over a medium patty. Wife got it without the bread, so lettuce wrapped with some tomato and onion to help cool the spice from the pepper and aioli. Great, great burger.
Farm burger. Duck bacon, fried egg, on a medium patty. Any time you get a fried egg and bacon on a burger, you have to. The creamy yolk dripping off the sides and the crisp of the bacon with the meaty chew makes for an explosion of textures in your mouth. The slight gamey taste to the duck bacon adds a nice touch to the meat flavors. A+ burger, definitely top of the list.
American burger. The kids finished this before I could help, but it looked like a normal cheese burger with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles (which they picked off:) Kids enjoyed it rather quickly, so either it was really tasty, or I'm good at starving my children. :)
I was not impressed by the buns, though. Top seemed a little greasy to the touch, and the bottom didn't hold up very well to any of the dippy goodness that was my fried egg. Didn't seem like they toasted/grilled any part of the bun, as mine became rather soggy quickly - either from the oils on the burger or the yolk, can't tell. One of the things GR always seems gripe about on his shows are soggy buns...ironic that I'd get some at one of his restaurants.
Truffle fries. Wow, what is there to say about this. Dip it in the truffle aioli or the chipotle ketchup, both are winning sauces -- though the truffle aioli is a little thick to keep eating. Fries were nice and fresh, crispy steak fries with a buttery center. Parmesan adds a tinge of bitterness to the sweetness that's either the ketchup or the aioli.
Oh, and the onion rings. Not the best I've had, but whatever ranch mix they used to make the dip, that thing was amazing. Crispy on the outside, crunchy onions on the inside, makes for an appetizing start to the meal.
All in all, a good experience. Not the best burger joint in Vegas, nor is it the worst. Can't say I'd go out of my way to try this place, but you'd be better off here than at Pinks if you're at the Planet Hollywood. :)
