| - I'm a huge Gordon Ramsay fan. I watch Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen, and MasterChef. That being said, I wasn't really expecting BurGR to be that amazing. It's a casual restaurant in an incredibly touristy location (the Strip), and it's not like Gordon Ramsay is there personally cooking the burgers. I was especially skeptical after walking into the restaurant and seeing all of the waitstaff dressed like the Mondo Burger employees from the movie Good Burger. Seriously, the servers wear ridiculously flashy and tight-fitting outfits that look like how people in the 1980's would imagine people in 2013 would dress.
Anyway, in spite of the unusual garb of the servers, the service was excellent. Even though the place was very busy, we were still seated quickly and received our food in a reasonable amount of time. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu too. We also had a view of the open kitchen and had our appetites whetted by all of the amazing food being prepared in the kitchen.
Simply put, our food was outstanding! I was worried that my parents wouldn't enjoy their food because they don't eat beef or pork. However, they really enjoyed their dishes. My mom had Damnation Chicken Burger. Although it wasn't "fiery hot", it was very flavorful. It was also interesting that instead of using a chicken breast, they made a patty out of ground chicken. It was a good way to keep in the spirit of creating a burger out of chicken. My dad had the fish and crisp sandwich, and he thought it was quite good. My parents both absolutely loved the fries. The fries were absolutely perfect in terms of shape, size, crunch, and saltiness. They also came with a curry ketchup that somehow made them taste even better. If there's one idea I'd like to try at home, it's to make curry ketchup like I had at BurGR.
My burger was incredible too. I had the Euro Burger cooked to medium rare. Everything about the burger was executed perfectly. The meat was juicy and flavorful, the goat cheese was rich and creamy, the arugula and roasted tomato were spot on. The truffle aioli is what really made this one of the best burgers I've ever had though. Normally when places have a truffle sauce, the taste of the truffles just overpowers the rest of the dish. However, in this aioli the truffle taste was more subtle.
For dessert, we tried the sticky toffee pudding push pops. I felt like they were a bit gimmicky though. The ice cream and the sticky toffee pudding were separated into layers, so I couldn't really mix them together. I would have preferred to just have them together in a bowl.
Overall, this place was definitely up to the high standards that Gordon Ramsay preaches about in all of his shows. If you want to try the best burgers in Vegas, you've gotta go to BurGR.
