Bobby's Burger Palace - Las Vegas

Now with a dozen locations, but only one west of the Mississippi River, Bobby's Burger Palace can probably be considered a chain, yet from the moment one enters the doors at 3750 South Las Vegas Boulevard the experience goes well beyond what one might expect from a “Quick-casual” concept.<br/ <br/ Soon celebrating six years serving Sin City, and currently one of three local Restaurants from Food Network superstar Bobby Flay, it is on a unique piece of pavement between Aria and Park MGM that guests will find a modern space flanked by Starbucks and Pinkberry, its attachment technically to Waldorf Astoria though there is no formal affiliation.<br/ <br/ Built on Chef Flay’s love of grilling as well as travel, an affordable menu running from Philly to Dallas and LA by way of themed Burgers, it is on entry that guests will find a counter to the left and bar right, the former with a line immediately after an 11:00am opening while the latter offers full service including Frozen Margaritas, Beer and Wine.<br/ <br/ Fast paced but not rushed, several guests taking a moment to peruse their options before selecting everything from Condiments to temperature, it was through a friendly middle-aged woman that an order was placed, her smile carrying over to everyone from servers to bartender and kitchen staff.<br/ <br/ Able to watch each item’s preparation through a window, the General Manager expediting orders with every Sandwich and Side photogenically stacked, it was perhaps ten minutes after seating that the whole order arrived simultaneously, hand-cut Fries immediately impressing with their ability to remain crisp amongst Cheese and Bacon while Sweet Potatoes tasted great with the accompanying sauce, but better with Bobby’s Chipotle Ketchup.<br/ <br/ Often disappointed by Onion Rings, though not at BBP where thick cuts and adherent Buttermilk Batter marry to form Las Vegas’ very best, it was after pictures that Burgers were tasted, a medium-Fat grind providing ample juiciness whether dressed classic or beneath Bacon and crumbly Blue Cheese.<br/ <br/ Given the choice to “get crunchified” at no additional cost, handmade Potato Chips without a lot of salt adding both visual appeal and texture, it was after devouring January’s “Burger of the Month” with Canadian Bacon and Maple-Mustard Sauce that Bobby’s “Veggie Burger” was tasted, its consistency more like that of a Sloppy Joe with a bit of heat and bold BBQ flavor.<br/ <br/ Finishing up with four Shakes, the question of whether to add complimentary housemade Whipped Cream definitely one to reply “yes!,” the answer to which is best largely comes down to personal preference, though fans of Wendy’s Frosty will undoubtedly be spellbound by Dark Chocolate while guests seeking more subtlety may want to consider surprisingly natural Pistachio, this month’s special featuring fresh Bananas and Nutella or Fudge-streaked Cookies and Cream.

Delicious burger!!!! A little on the oily side but the taste is second to none. The onion rings are out of this world gourmet! Milk shake was very good. Service was good the employees were friendly. Would definitely frequent if I lived nearby.

My second full day in Vegas started off at a steamy 95 degrees. I kept waking up throughout the night due to the heat/constant shuffling in and out of the bathroom of the other guests, and so I decided to actually wake up at 6, since sleeping in just wasn’t going to work out.

Simple great juicy burger. The meat grilled the way you like it, full of flavors and seasoned in a way you can always taste the meat. fresh slaw and soft buns.I recommend BBP for burgers lovers.

From previously enjoying food from Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, I had high expectations for this place. I visited with a group of friends so we could order multiple burgers and share. The atmosphere is cool for hanging with friends. When it comes to the burgers themselves, I was a little disappointed.<br/ <br/ The burgers don't look anything special as in a culinary look which is fine. From this I left everything to flavor and that fell flat. It had an OK taste which isn't good coming from Bobby Flay (The king of the grill) in my opinion. The burgers were also dry.<br/ <br/ What I did enjoy however was the fries and beer battered onions. The sauce that was given for dipping was amazing!<br/ <br/ I'm not going to knock this place and say I wont return. I'm actually looking forward to another visit and am hoping the burger I choose is better than the ones I've tried. Perhaps even have the meat prepared medium rare or medium. <br/ <br/ Visit date 4/5/2014
