| - SinCity Burgers is not in my neck of the woods. However, I am known to drive around town in search of the best burgers or whatever else I happened to have a craving for at the moment. So when I read Mike C's review about their signature burger, I thought I would give them a try or two.
SinCity Burger is a mom-and-pop's burger joint inside a strip mall, surrounded by many big box stores within the greater commercial shopping/entertaining campus (A.K.A. Centennial Plaza) in the NW part of LV. Every item that requires cooking on the menu is cook to order, so that is a plus in my book, but you also have to allot for the time it would require for them to prepare your order (although I am sure they are more than happy to take your pick-up order over the phone).
So here is a quick summary of my personal experience and impressions on the items I tried:
Sahara Burger (option to go up to 3 patties, starting with 1 patty (Angel), 2 patties (Saint) and 3 patties which they call Sinner), which is topped with Pepperjack Cheese, Grilled onions & Jalapenos, Guacamole, Lettuce, Tomato and their Hell Sauce. It is a decent burger and with all the toppings and sauces, can definitely get all over your hands and face. The Hell Sauce has a little kick, but not enough to make most people that does not have a Capsaicin sensitivity crying home to their mama via Facetime(TM). 3/5 stars for me.
Badass Burger (I went with the 3 Sinner patties option again and I had to unhinged my jaw like a boa constrictor preparing to swallow a fully evolved Raichu), topped with Swiss Cheese, Green Leaf Lettuce, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions & Mushrooms, Bacon, Fried Egg and their Sin Sauce is good. The combination of ingredients and the Sin Sauce is badass! 4/5 stars. [ Recommended ]
Grilled Chicken Sandwich - Big meaty juicy grilled chicken breasts in a bun. I would recommend it if you want to skip the red meat.
I also tried their Chocolate Shake, which is okay. Their Maple Bacon Shake is one of those off the wall, I-dare-you-to-try-it item that was different, but not something I would default to ordering, but the salty, crunchy, chewy bits of bacon in creamy shake is not even a level 2 Fear Factor(TM) food challenge (unless you have a dietary restriction against consuming pork). Size of the shake could be bigger for the price tag.
Homemade Onion Rings - it is served piping hot shortly right after its torturous hot oil bath, but I am personally not a fan of their onion ring batter.
Currently they have a $5.99 burger combo promotion, which is pretty good if you work or are shopping in the vicinity and wants a upgrade from the typical fast food burger, plus it is staff by friendly & helpful people.
*Ask for napkins if you dine-in (I did not see a napkin dispenser) but they were generous with napkins on my to-go order. Use your Yelp check-in promo discount.
