| - Even before you set foot into the restaurant, you may be welcomed with a long waiting line. If you do, keep calm and line up, as the line moves faster than you think. I'm not sure if you are able to make reservations beforehand, but ask the hostess if it's possible. The restaurant sadly doesn't take reservations online.
The menu is very simple, it's all on one page with 5-10 selections for each category. A more visible quality of the menu can be found here. We did our research about BurGR before coming, so we ordered two burgers (The Hell's Kitchen Burger and Farm Burger), truffle parmesan fries, and two shakes for dessert (Shake #4 and #5). We also ordered a beer from the drinks list which was available by iPad when you asked your server.
The restaurant was very lively with no empty tables. We were very excited to try our gourmet burgers because it was voted as the 'Best Tourist Food that's "Actually Good"' by Vegas Seven in 2013. I was too excited about their curry ketchup, truffle aioli, burgers of course, and their ultimate shakes that everyone kept raving about. The atmosphere was quite cozy because of the large fireplace at BurGR, but the busy restaurant came hard upon the servers and so the service we received wasn't anything great.
Not so long after, our meals started to arrive. Starting with the fries, they were very crispy, none of them soggy from too much oil, and had truffle salt and truffle parmesan on top. You could really smell the real truffle from the fries which I was very surprised about. Normally, and when I had tried truffle fries before at other burger joints, I was never able to smell or taste the truffle in the fries; however, along with the truffle aioli, these fries were serious about their truffle! Hubby and I were very, very happy people...now we can't have truffle fries anywhere else.
We asked for a side of curry ketchup with our truffle fries because many recommended we do so. The curry ketchup is available when you order their "Just fries". I don't think it cost us extra for the side, but even if there was a surcharge, we would've gotten it anyway. After trying my french fries with curry ketchup, I realized I want lots of it at home. I wish it was available for purchase everywhere and anywhere. The combination of ketchup and curry was perfect.
I chose to have the Farm Burger which had duck breast bacon, English sharp cheddar, and a fried egg. I mostly ordered it because of the duck meat because I've never had duck breast bacon before, and also never had it in my burger as a topping. After trying the burger, I found the bacon actually a little too salty so a little overpowering for my taste. It was great at first, but as I slowly finished my burger, I realized it was getting saltier and saltier, and there were not enough toppings inside the burger to offset the saltiness. Yes, the fried egg was a good touch, and it wasn't overcooked, but it wasn't enough to balance the saltiness. Now that I think about it, the Farm burger sounds like a good thing to eat for brunch...I mean, it has bacon, cheese, and egg inside your burger! Overall, the burger was great, but compared to the Hell's Kitchen Burger, it ranked second in our books.
The Hell's Kitchen burger is probably the best burger we had ever tried so far in our lives. Complete with asadero cheese, roasted jalapeño peppers, avocado, and oven roasted tomatoes, you know it's a good burger at first bite. There wasn't really anything that we didn't like about the burger, other than the fact that I didn't order it! The rich, savoury flavours were balanced out by the avocado, and instead of your standard ketchup, the real roasted tomatoes were great. Next time we're in Vegas, I know for sure that we are going back to BurGR and ordering this again! This burger is a must try when you're at BurGR!
Of the two shakes that we tried, this oreo shake was my favourite, while hubby preferred the coffee shake. Shake #4 is an oreo shake with creme brûlée pudding on top as well as an oreo cookie. I needed to order this and try it because the oreo cookie is my favourite snack. I couldn't really imagine how oreo and creme brûlée would taste together, but whatever happened in BurGR's kitchen, the combination was SO GOOD. The rich sweetness can probably be overpowering for some (ie. my hubby), but if you have a sweet tooth, you'd probably thank me for introducing this shake to you. Shake #5 is probably a better choice if you want to try something less sweeter, although it's still quite sweet. I know the amount of calories in these shakes are probably heart attack worthy, but I'd rather run for 10 miles after my meal instead of not trying it!
Overall, I believe this is how a burger joint should be done. In my opinion, it is better than Shake Shack, Umami burger, In-n-out Burger, and all other independent burger chains out there. If you're a burger lover, this place must be on your to-do list! To me, Gordon Ramsay's BurGR is a must try!
