| - Chef Sammy D and Antonio Ballatore have a great little gem on their hands. Amazing graffiti wall to wall, great food, a well stocked bar, and a mechanical pickle!
The Graffiti is done by many artists (way too many to name), everywhere you turn there more art, there isn't really a surface that was left untouched. There are also QR codes all over so that you can find out more info about the piece/artist (QR codes should be operational in about a week). The bar was showing a interesting video medley of music videos, old tv show clips, and videos of all of the artists painting the walls.
The menu is pretty big, there's an entire section of pickled items, a salad selection, an expansive burger menu, plus a decent side of fries. The Kitchen was insanely fast and our food arrived pretty much right after we ordered.
We started with Pickles, the LVS Fries (which are Sammy D's take on poutine), and BBQ Pork Doughnuts. The Pickles were good nothing special, but a nice start. The LVS Fries are a unique twist on Poutine, Hand Cut Fries with Gravy, Cheddar Curds, and a pepper (maybe a touch too much pepper) but all in all a great side. I had the Wildstyle Burger, a big patty (cooked to a perfect medium rare), Smoked Gouda, Pulled Pork, Cole Slaw, and pickles on a Pretzel Roll. The burger was much bigger than I expected from a place on the strip. The flavors blended together well, my only regret was not adding the Nueske's Bacon. The meal ended with a present from Antonio Ballatore, he sent over a free order of the BBQ Pork Doughnuts. Imagine a deepfried pastry filled with delicious bbq pork, coated in honey sauce, with a hint of pickled jalapeno, served up in a basket. A great combo of savory and sweet.
The Bar selection was impressive, a wide variety of beers on tap, several seasonal and micro brews that are not readily available anywhere else on the strip. They also have Jameson Shots with a pickle back, drink them both and get a token to ride their mechanical pickle, you you read that right they have a mechanical pickle that you can ride.
I will go back and give it a more formal review, this was just a soft opening and there were a few glitches (nothing major). The food was great, the portions were bigger than I expected, the price point is right on par for the strip, and it's conviently located next the Venetian Poker Room and Sports Book, which IMHO is a great location for a Burger Joint.
