| - I believe there's only one in Vegas and how befitting for such a great sit-down burger joint! I wouldn't call myself a burger kind of person but I do consider myself a man of great taste. And flavor! Mmm :9

I live by a motto of never believing in something because of the hype. Not that I'm too good to give a little attention to pop culture, but just because I go in it to find out for myself and walking into Burger Bar with that same exact mentality. I almost ALWAYS, ALWAYS call a restaurant when I'm on my way to let them know that I will be paying them a visit. I give them my name, ask if it's busy, and the amount of time it will take for me to go from "here" to "there" so they can expect me. And that is exactly what I did:
"Hi, my name's Aljamin. What time do you guys close? ...Late? Awesome! I'll need a seat... no... just me. Great! What was your name again? Awesome, Joel! I'll be there in about 15 minutes. Thanks again!"
99.9% of the time, my table is already set. And that it was! +1 for Joel at Burger Bar! Excellent customer service and superb follow through. The menu is EXCELLENT! I browsed through it and a bunch of stuff made me "oo! and ahh!" First thing I noticed was the most expensive burger on the menu: Kobe burger with foie gras (duck liver), black truffles, caramelized onions?! Mmmm.... I couldn't afford it at the time, but hear me Kobe burger! YOU WILL BE CONQUERED! Haha!
If you know what a salad bar is, you get the idea of what Burger Bar is like. You pick your meat, your bun, your toppings, and a side. I went with the Kobe beef, Swiss cheese, on a wheat bun with caramelized onions (lettuce and tomato come with it), and a succulent red wine reduction sauce on the side. Order you some sweet potato fries and you're set! Once you destroy the burger, get the Nutella shake for dessert! Magnific!
I would definitely come here again and create my next masterpiece!
