| - WIld Burger is Station Casino's newest gimmick to get people in the door of their Wildfire properties. The billboards and ad blitz worked, I decided to give them a try.
Basically WIldfire ripped out the small cafe they used to have and put in Wild Burger. When you walk up the small ramp to the restaurant you are met by someone who will say Hi and then explains their menu and tells you how to order. You place your order and pay on the spot. I look over the menu and tell her I want a wild burger. She then asked how I wanted it cooked and I say medium well. (Don't laugh, there's a backstory on why I like my meat cooked medium well unless I know the meat's source). I add an order of onion strips and a drink and hand over my debit card. I ask if they swipe players cards but she says no. That's dumb, guess they don't care how much money I spend with them. Then I get handed the receipt to sign. It has a place for a tip. If you don't have cash to leave and have no clue how the service is going to be how do you know how much to tip? I scribble down some numbers, grab my drink glass and off I go.
The place is clean, not too bright, but it's got a ton of flat screens. And while some of the TV's look great, a few have some image quality issues. My fountain drink is also kind of flat. Yep, fountain drink hell strikes again. It's better than nothing so I grab a seat and wait for my food. Since the food is made to order I temper my expectations on timing and I get my food fairly quickly.
What arrived was a pretty stacked hamburger that did leave a good visual impression. I snapped a picture of it and the onion strips sill in their little metal fry basket. I check out the condiments, I've got A1, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, Grey Poupon, and more right there on the table ready to go. I got extra napkins already tableside which will be needed, and so with that it's time to give it a try.
The hamburger was not bad. It was very messy though. You need to use the Guy Fieri double grab holding style to manage it but it was pretty good. They cooked it right, you could taste the meat, the tomatoes were fresh, the onion was there, everything was as it should be. The onion strips were disappointing. They're too thin, and they fall apart when dipped into any sauce. Not impressed with them at all.
Overall, it wasn't bad. Would I go out of my way for it? No. Wild Burger needs to watch and tweak a few things. The concept is good, but this place is not quite ready for primetime just yet. Also hearing the staff gripe about the place or talk about their personal lives in explicit detail isn't too cool either. One last thing. This place DESPERATELY NEEDS WET WIPES or those little cleaning cloth packets so you can clean your hands.
