The Burger Joint

So we had just landed in Vegas, and my dad was jonesing for a burger. Thanks to my wonderful Unilocal App, we realized that The Burger Joint (among a million other burger joints) was right down the street from us in the Flamingo.
There was a little bit of confusion at first as to who our waiter was because we got «passed» off to Justin, but Abraham took our drink orders and hung out with us at random times throughout our meal. Abraham was hilarious, though. My dad ordered a diet coke, and he carded him. It takes a lot to throw my dad off of his game, so that was pretty funny.
But our waiter Justin was really great! My mom and I decided to split our cheeseburger, and not only did he bring us an extra plate ahead of time, but he also gave us extra pickles for no charge! We didn’t even ask, but he (correctly) assumed that my mom and I would both enjoy those pickles!
Their waffle fries were fabulous, and the service was downright speedy!
Crap…now I am jonesing for some waffle fries! Definitely an A+ experience!

Late night in Vegas and I finally talked myself into going downstairs and dropping $ 9 — $ 11 for what was expected to be a mediocre burger.
I stood for a couple of minutes and checked out the menu, thinking that I might be able to order something to go. When I asked the host about ordering to go, he said I could do that but I would have to be seated, and it would be about 10 minutes. There was no one in line and it looked like there was less than 10 people in the entire restaurant.
I decided I wasn’t going to wait 10 minutes to be seated just to order something to go.
I can’t rate this place on the food quality, but I can rate it on their service — it was crappy…

$ 8.99 for a burger, fries, and a beer all day and night. Score one for drunk eating!
However, the burger tastes like it came straight out of the freezer and has zero flavor, and the fries were pretty bland. I guess anything is tasty after a long day/​night of drinking, though. At least you can’t screw beer up.
What’s worse, though, was the total ‘tude from the waitress. Sure, it was 3AM, and she had probably been on her feet all day and didn’t want to take crap from «drunk» Vegas vacationers, but you shouldn’t be a jerk to customers, especially those who are friendly and aren’t obnoxious, and especially if you want a tip.
Grab pizza from the food court at the Flamingo. Better food, better attitude.

Came at around 1am for steak and eggs…
Steak and eggs: Steak was too fatty on the side, yet kinda dry on the inside. How that works, I’m not sure. I wasn’t too fond of it. It’s a good deal though for midnight steak and eggs (around $ 10). You also get toast and eggs and potatoes.
Fruit bowl: Fruit with a banana nut muffin and yogurt. Yogurt tasted like Dannon’s strawberry yogurt. Muffin was a bit tough, but flavor wasn’t too bad. Fruit was plentiful and good.
Service was very slow, considering there were only about 4 tables in the entire restaurant. We really had to wave down the waitresses, who would be clumped together at the front every 5 minutes.
I personally wouldn’t like to come here again, but if I wanted steak and eggs at midnight for a cheap price and I was too drunk to mind how it tasted, mmm maybe.

The Burger Joint was a nightly visit for my girls and I in January, and the $ 3 burger&fries was hard to beat! …so you can imagine how heart broken I was to see that the $ 3 burger&fries and $ 5 steak&eggs combo has now risen to $ 8.99! Waah!
I still like you, but why the $ 4 – 6 jump over the course of 5 months? :(
