| - This is the 3rd time I've been to Holstein's and I have to say it's one of my favorite places on the strip! ;)
The first two times I had a great experience, and so I will tell you about my 3rd.
My two friends and I got there about 2pm on Saturday and the place was pretty jumping. Almost every time we have come it's been jumping so expect a 10-15 minute wait to get seated. We left our name with the cute hostess and they took our phone number. Instead of using those little beeper things, they just text someone's phone in the group when your table is ready. I love technology.
We waited in the Chandelier lounge and had a Fire-Breathing Dragon cocktail while we waited. It was a little pricey, but fun none the less.
We got seated, and boom-got the complimentary Salt & Vinegar popcorn to start off and some chilled waters as soon as we sat down.
After perusing the menu, which seems to get new items every few months, I chose the Portabello Mushroom burger and the Cereal Shake (made with 3 scoops vanilla ice cream,1 oz. vanilla vodka, 1/2 cup Cap'n Crunch cereal (dry),milk, as needed to get desired consistency,whipped cream (for garnish) and a shot of Whipped cream Vodka I think?) which tasted delicious! The shakes come in standard shake glass and make room for the extra they bring out in the silver shaker-bonus! My friends ordered the Billionaire burger ($28 -OUCH!) and the Tiramisu shake-and my other friend ordered the Gold Medallion burger I think it was?
If your on a budget, the burgers and shakes are just big enough meal
to split between two people or a couple, in addition to the free Salt & Vinegar popcorn.
Shakes came our first, which are almost a meal in themselves. The last two times I ordered the campfire smores and Almondy Joy (Cause I love chocolate) but decided to try the Cereal shake because I love cap'n crunch. I have to say I like the Tiramisu over my Cereal Shake which was super sweet.
We ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese which is always good (wish they gave us a larger serving!) and we gobbled that dish down in no time between the 3 of us.
Burgers showed up shortly after without a beat. I also ordered a fried egg on mine. My meat was moist, the portobello succulent, the avocado delish, and the fried egg cooked just enough not to run all over the place. This burger is way too big to eat without spilling everywhere so I cut it in half to make it easier. The fries here are not my favorite, but come with meal, the onion rings were pretty good though.
Though my burger was good, I tasted my friends billionaire burger and the aged-Kobe beef topped with Goose liver (which is why it was expensive) and I have to say her burger was better than mine. Don't know if I could justify the extra $12 for it. My other friend who is a big foodie, said his Medallion burger was one of the best burgers he's had in a restaurant, and he's a very picky foodie.
All in all another great experience, I like the hustle and bustle of the place, and all the good looking people in Cosmopolitan is never a let down. Thought he place is not cheap if your looking for an inexpensive place to eat, it's a fun experience overall and great to get a slight buzz from from a shake!
*note* I went hope and napped after my amazing meal.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
