| - Not surprised to see mixed reviews of LBS. This is the kind of gimmicky burger restaurant that could be "all gimmick" and underwhelm on the food.
LBS delivered on the burgers - good quality meat cooked right, freshly made buns, several cheese choices (Gruyère - yum!), good produce and condiments. The "fresh cut" fries were just ok, but the onion rings were outstanding. Add in a full bar, and LBS really cooked.
Now as to the gimmick - everyone named Johnny or Junior or whatever, over-thought-out decor - I was unimpressed. I'm sure the idea was to roll this out across all Station properties, but I think if they just kept the menu and reconsidered how the gimmick played out, they might have a hit chain instead.
For now, considering LBS is inside the Red Rock, patrons have a choice between a very good $3.50 Fatburger and $9.00+ burger at LBS. Is the $7 (plus tip) worth the better sit-down experience? In this case, I think so.
