| - Such a great place in Boulder City!
I've heard so much about The Dillinger that my Mom and I decided to have dinner there on a Monday night.
It's very easy to find - located in the main business district, on Arizona, just off Nevada Hwy (main road). There is plenty of street parking around, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a spot.
It's a small place, but not as small as I pictured based off other reviews. There are probably around 6-8 tables outside and 8 inside. There is also a large bar when you enter.
Speaking of the bar - they have an awesome beer selection! The night I was there they had a few Dogfish Head's, a few New Belgium selections and others. As well as the Stone "Enjoy By" in bombers. The mark-up on the bomber was pretty crazy, but it's expected at a small place like this. It was $13.50 for a bottle of beer that costs $6.99 at the store. That's actually more than Aces and Ales charges ($13)!
Anyhow, on to the burgers, since that's the focus here.... They have a great selection on their menu. It was tough deciding what to have, everything sounded so good!! I went with their signature burger - "The Dillinger." It is a 1/2 pound, never frozen, all natural beef patty topped with cheese, bacon and brisket and served with your choice of fries or asian slaw (you can get onion rings or sweet potato fries for an extra charge). My Mom doesn't like a lot of frills, so she ordered the "45 Special," which is basically just a cheeseburger, also served with fries or slaw.
The menu states that all burgers are cooked medium, unless otherwise specified. We both got our burgers medium rare, and both were perfectly cooked!
My burger was very good and super filling. I was so stuffed about halfway through! I was very impressed by the brisket - it was very tender and the patty was also very juicy. To my surprise, the bacon was even crispy! The fries were also very good. All around I was very pleased with my dinner.
My Mom also loved her burger, although she commented it was "nowhere near the cheesiest" she'd ever had. The menu talked up the burger like it would be oozing cheese, and that just isn't the case. Either way, it was very good and she was happy.
We also ordered a side of the asian slaw to try. It was pretty much what I expected and would be good for those who don't eat fries (although it's a burger joint?). I wouldn't order it again, but it was tasty.
The service was good and our waitress was very friendly. My only knock on this place is the prices. The menu says one thing (ex: $9) and then there is a small sticker that says to add an additional amount to each burger due to the increase in the price of beef. It ended up costing almost $50 for the 2 of us, which is kind of outrageous when you have 2 burgers, fries, a soda and a beer, along with 1 extra side.
Anyhow, I am happy to support local businesses and I will certainly be back to try other burgers (The Executioner and Baby Face Nelson come to mind)!
