My son and his future father in law brought me to Kilroy's stating that this restaurant serves the best burgers in Las Vegas. You make a statement like that to me.... and I want to test it out!
I can see where Kilroy's got it's name... but does anyone else? I really don't think any of the patrons knows the origin of this restaurant's name. Well... to help my son and anyone else that's halfway interested... here is the Wikipedia origin of Kilroy's... ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here ). I don't think even the future father in law knew the origin of Kilroy's...
Onto the food...
Bleu Burger (*** $8.95) A half pound Burger cooked just right (medium rare) with Blue Cheese topped with a LOAD or Onion Rings with a side of Cole Slaw! The Burger pattie was cooked correctly and it was a half pound AFTER cooking; the Bun lasted throughout the whole meal... but those are the only things positive about this Burger! Blue Cheese was way too mild for this Burger... way too mild... tasted more like a Cream Cheese spread. And the Onion Rings piled on a couple of inches high (at least). Cole Slaw was piled on a leaf of Lettuce - non eventful. A question I have for Kilroy's... Why not serve your Burgers with French Fries by default? Why does a customer have to be charged $1.59 for extra French Fries? To make more money? I just don't see the rationale.
The tradition is to serve Burgers with Fries... not with Onion Rings and Slaw! At least... not where I was raised.
Coke (****) Unlimited Refills.
Service (****) My Coke never saw the bottom of the glass.
Atmosphere of Kilroy's is very dated. Movie Posters adorn all the walls of the restaurant. Looks like no current movie posters for a couple of decades... at least. There are small spotlights hung from the ceiling that spots each poster. The right side of the building is a separate bar area... where it's extremely smoky.... seems like the bar area hasn't been aired out in decades.
Best Burgers in town... don't think so.
