Wiley - The $60 Rossinni - Burger Bar, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV - #7
Kobe beef, Foie Gras, Truffles, Truffle sauce on an onion bun.
8.5/10
While it was decadent and extravagant, I think I'm too used to seeking out a good charbroiled beef patty with that slightly burnt flavor, mustard, ketchup and a crisp leaf of lettuce. Not to mention, cheese.
But don't get me wrong, this thing was damn good.
It was also great to pour the left over truffle sauce on the fries.

6/10 Burgers might be steak but they are paper thin. Good taste for a place just a tad over your typical fast food burger house.

Very big bun, nothing special, but I will give them an extra point for the 2 lbs. of French Fries that came with it.
Nice I.P.A.to wash it down ,made in house.

J&J Barbeque and Burgers is a Cedar Park institution which I've been to many times. It was very cool of them to open a satellite restaurant in LV last year in the location of the sometimes great but erratic Tugs BBQ.

Courgette fries (zucchini for those who don't speak French) were ok, but the breading didn't stick and the zucchini was too limp. A Sierra Nevada Kellerweis finished things off nicely.

6/10 - I'd give it a 5 since it was a pretty standard burger. Cy's has been around forever which is pretty cool, so I'll make it a 6.
Fwd: HaVoCLaD - Sandeez Hamburger Hut - Lakeway, TX - #12
I was headed to P. Terry's when I saw this dive along the side of 620. If only I'd kept going...
Sandeez Hamburger Hut looks like it was built 40 years ago for about $2500 and not updated much since. In other words, my kind of place! It had a nice decrepit look inside, a fairly expansive menu and a chalk board filled with interesting sounding burgers called "Bucket List Burgers". The floor slanted worse than anything I've seen since my grandfather's house in the mid-70's.
I selected the Hellburger which is described as Burger w/pepperjack cheese, topped w/ grilled jalapenos, green chiles, buffalo sauce and siracha." Spicy food is right up my alley so this sounded perfect, it came with fries and a drink for $8.50.
10 minutes later, it arrived. It was so skinny I had to pop the hood to verify that I didn't get a plain jane. Everything looked to be there. I didn't taste the siracha, and the grilled jalapenos were actually pickled. Those two ingredient changes greatly lowered the heat potential. The green chilis were probably poblanos so they didn't add anything.
The bun was grilled but otherwise non-descript. The fries were obviously cooked a fair bit ahead of time and held. Imagine how McD's fries taste when you get home after screwing up and having to stop for gas *after* you hit the drive through.
The burger was a quarter lb. Sysco low budget burger. The less said about this the better.
I ate the whole burger so I can't rate it lower than a 3 on my scale, however I recommend y'all look for better places than Sandeez.

Chipotle Cheese, Chipotle Mayonnaise, Pickled Jalapeños, Bacon, Cilantro, Sliced Tomato and Fried Onions.
A good ridiculous. I loved it. I could have used a regular bun than a donut bun, but the flavor explosion was awesome. I want to eat it again.
The big issue is the slopp. It is so sloppy, but the napkin they give you is awesome.
I'd give love to give this a 10, but -1 due to donut bun, -1 due to slopp, so it gets 8/10, but a solid 8. But damn, that's a freaking great burger. Those pickled jalapeños were great. o_O!

I've eaten at the south location a number of times, and the burgers are always good. Plus, the Terlingua is my favorite at this establishment -- what's better on a burger than a Frito pie? Nothing, that's what. Unless it's a second burger that's also topped with a Frito pie. Double-Frito all the way, so intense! It's chili all the way down! We've reached critical pie; the waveform is collapsing! ZOMG the zeitgeist!!! ZOOM AND ENHANCE!!
Ahem... sorry. I'm better now. This is usually at least a solid 9/10, and the Sea Salt and Caramel milkshake pushes it even higher.
When I vistied the north location last Saturday, though, I was not impressed. The burger was sloppy, poorly done, and the grind had a horrible mealy consistency. I ordered it medium-rare, which may have been a mistake. The center wasn't pink. It was pale, almost translucent. Ugh. Nasty. The chili was characteristically good (and the Fritos were predictably Frito-ey), but the burger itself was pretty bad. Even the milkshake wasn't great - the salt crystals were already dissolved so they didn't explode in a sweetness-magnifying burst of salty goodness like they usually do.
3/10
Hopdoddy, you can do so much better.

Another favorite at this place is the Poblano burger. They've taken it off the menu sometime in the last year, but you can still get it if you order the poblano chicken sandwich and sub out a burger patty or two. :D
