Gordon Ramsay's restaurant BurGR, Las Vegas

[xer0h0ur]

Just got back from a 4 day trip to Vegas for the trade shows. My oldest sister gave me the heads up about this restaurant so I had to check it out. The prices are very reasonable and the food was fantastic.

The fire display at the entrance to the restaurant:

I ordered the Farm Burger which was orgasmic. It has a pattie that consists of a blend of three meats, 50% chuck, 25% rib and 25% brisket. It is topped with an egg, sharp cheddar cheese and duck bacon served on a brioche bun. Yes ladies and gentlemen. Duck bacon. The best fucking bacon I have ever had in my life and I used to be a part of the bacon of the month club so that says a lot.

I also got an order of the truffle fries which also did not disappoint. Their homemade ketchup wasn't anything to write home about and in my opinion tasted closer to a tomato paste than ketchup but wutevs. Dat garlic dip though was fan-fuckin-tastic. We also asked for their curry ketchup which wasn't to my liking either however I won't judge as I just don't like curried food.

All in all I didn't have much of anything to complain about this restaurant. If I had to try to find a negative it would be that it felt as if it took a bit for the food to arrive but the place was packed to capacity so its understandable. Other than that the service was on point and the waiter was constantly making sure we were satisfied and weren't left needing anything.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone going to Vegas. As an aside I would also recommend the buffet at Ceasar's Palace, Bacchanal, as it was probably the best buffet I have ever had. It is however a bit on the expensive side for a buffet. You're looking at about $45 for lunch and $50 for dinner (per person) if I remember right however you will be hard pressed to find any sub-standard food there.

Edit: I fubared the spelling in the title, mods please change it to Ramsay's

When did that open and where is it? I was just in Vegas in October and didn't know that place existed.

Planet Hollywood in late 2012.

Agreed about buffet at Caesers, but had a different experience at Gordon's place. If you had started a going to vegas thread I would have recommended bachi burger.

Damn it, just came in my pants.

BACHI!

I considered making this thread generally about places I ate at in Vegas but since this place really stood out to me particularly due to the very affordable prices and the quality for the price I decided to make it about BurGR.

I took a menu since they give them as souvenirs but I need to scan or take a picture of it.

This is a good thread bro.

But there is a thread about Vegas food: http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/56992-Best-Food-in-Vegas

Definitely going to have to try them out next time I go. One of my cousins and my best friend were saying they want to go later this year so its on the list. Got any other recommendations?

BurGR is phenomenal. Been there a few times. I'm hitting it again in April when I'm out for NABShow. I also ate at his steakhouse at the Paris Casino. Probably the best meal I have ever eaten.

I was also going to try Ramsay's restaurant at Caesars Palace but didn't find the time to go. #NextTimeDoe

I'm going to Vegas in a couple weeks so these threads are coming in handy. Staying at Caesar's Palace for 3 nights because the wife has a convention for her job and I'm joining her for part of the trip.

I might have to try this BurGR joint.

Farm burger or Hell's Kitchen burger are my choices from there. Both are great.

You're staying at Caesar's, so you gotta try Bacchanal, which is the buffet at Caesar's. The breakfast is awesome, but I haven't tried lunch or dinner.

 

[xer0h0ur]

Lunch was damn good. If you time it right you can get there and pay for lunch then they make the change for dinner and you get to eat both sets of food for the price of lunch. I believe it was 3PM when they change it to dinner so as long as you get there like at 2:30ish. Probably want to ask when they switch from lunch to dinner though just to be sure.

U think theyd let me put duck breast bacon, cheddar and truffle fries on it?

 

[RacerX]

I've eaten my way through many Vegas restaurants. Lots of really, really good places but I've yet to experience any place there that i can honestly say is better than my favorite go-to establishments in San Francisco.

That said, the one consumption that stood out to me was at a bar at Aria named Todd English P.U.B. I am not a beer connoisseur by any stretch, but they had an amazing collection and they poured the coldest tap brew Ive ever enjoyed.

I like where your heads at

Ate at BurGR and Holsteins at the Cosmopolitan last weekend. Both were solid but I think my Farm Burger with duck bacon and a fried egg at GR was a bit better than my bacon cheeseburger at Holstein's. Both solid, though.

Had some good food and beer at the Yard House as well.
