| - Whilst looking up "Best Chicken Salad" I stumbled across Johnny Vegas Grill. I told my buddy in food eating shenanigans, Malinda, about this place as we are always on the hunt to taste and judge supposedly the "best". I didn't care for the idea of a chicken salad, but I saw reviews on the burgers and it became top priority on my food eating agenda.
We drove out of our way to Desert Inn and Sandhill, which was my old neighborhood growing up. George E. Harris Elementary School!
That brought back so many memories, I was looking forward to a Vegas style treat. I'm all about Old Vegas!
She had visited the day before based on the reviews and really couldn't wait.
She came back to me and said the staff was amazing and the place was "the size of a stamp". I said, "It couldn't be that small, it had a pool table".
When entering, it reminded me of a Vegas bar from the 80'S = perfect!
The "grill" is in the back right corner upon entering; you're basically ordering at a door. I'm not pretentious and I don't expect the Ritz-Carlton. In fact, I prefer more down-home and less fancy-schmancy.
The venue was NOT the size of a stamp, it was in a bar with plenty of room for a mechanical bull if they wanted one in there.
We came up to the door, and were greeted with a smile - which is always a great way to start a meal.
Ordering was easy, we were given all the options for toppings on our burger. I asked for some coleslaw on the side so I can put it on my burger, I highly recommend that!!!
We chose to dine in, you do have to get your drinks at the bar even if it's a soda.
I didn't mind that, I'll leave a review for the bar itself.
We chose to sit at a booth seat, low and behold they didn't call for us to come and get our food, they brought it out.
Now that's what I'm talking about, old Vegas service!
Let me get into this food situation:
The wait was average, not too long, and long enough for me to order my drink which means it was not a heat lamp Burger.
The burger was THE BOMB = juicy, full of flavor = exactly the way I wanted it. It had all the fixin's, however I forgot to ask for onions. I politely requested them, they were brought to me promptly. Nice!
The fries were Finger Licking Good = nuff said.
My friend ordered the chili fries, it was a tidy tastefull mess = how chili fries should be.
I enjoyed every minute and every bite of my meal, which is exactly why I went clear out of my way driving from Henderson just for this burger.
I decided on my way out, I definitely need a Johnny Vegas hat. I'm an avid hat collector, so I have to figure out how I'm going to get a hat.
Some might complain smoking is allowed in the bar, which would bother them while they're eating their food, however I'm not a douchebag - it's an old Vegas bar and exactly what I expected.
I would definitely eat here again, worth the drive.
