I ended up at 8oz burger in Shreveport, LA at my hotel after unsuccessfully driving to a couple of other locations around the city that were Yelp favorites, but that were ultimately closed.
I ordered the "Million dollar burger", which was $13.00, and it was a 1/2 lb. patty and brisket meat with BBQ sauce, curly onion strings, and mushrooms. Pretty darn good, I have to say.
I sat at the bar, although I don't drink, because this was the location that had 3 televisions all turned to college basketball. The staff was very friendly, and the bartender was funny and involved. I really enjoyed myself.
Really disappointed with our trip to the 8 oz Burger Bar. Â The burger was ok... Soft bread... Flavorful meat. Â The meat did taste a little bit like it was doused with liquid smoke, but not off putting. My daughter ordered the Philly Cheesesteak that wasn't near as appetizing as the burger. Â Unlike the burger, the buns were not home made, and both the bun and the meat were extremely dry. We had ordered chips and salsa with guacamole as an appetizer that never came. Â When we asked the waitress about it, she kinda just looked at us like we were crazy... Which was kinda how she treated us during the entire visit. Â She eventually brought the chips and salsa, after the entrees arrived, but the guacamole never made it. Â We asked for mayonnaise and mustard for the dry Philly, and once again got the deer in the headlights stare. Â The waitress definitely shouldn't be in the service profession... And we still laugh about it today.
Review Source:I ate at the bar alone for lunch. Â There weren't a lot of people in the restaurant while I was in there. Â The server (Angie I believe) was attentive and warm. Â I was hungry so I ordered both chicken fingers and the 8 oz burger. Â
The chicken fingers were served unbelievably hot (a good thing in my book) with BBQ sauce instead of Ranch at my request. Â The menu description made them sound like something that was handmade on site. Â If that is the case it is a waste of effort as they taste exactly like you expect a chicken finger to taste with no special qualities beyond being pretty salty. Â
The burger was pretty big as would be expected of a half pound burger. The bun was enormous, puffy and tasted freshly baked. Â Unfortunately, the patty was perfectly round as if cut off of a frozen log of beef. Â There was some alleged special sauce but it was overpowered by the salt level of the patty and the white cheddar. Â Looking back on it, nothing was so terrible about the food but there was also nothing worth repeating in terms of food. Â
The kitchen staff were very noisy, seemingly rehearsing to be on Stomp with all the banging and crashing. Â A server knocked a coffee filter basket out of a coffee maker which crashed onto the floor and the coffee filter bag laid on the floor for a few minutes before being cleaned up. Overall the clatter of the kitchen was irritating and must be amazingly grating when the restaurant is actually busy. Â Like most things in the casino, value was not a strong suit. My meal (all items served ala carte) totally 23 dollars before tip.
I ate here at 11am on my 40th birthday. Having never dined here before, I had previewed the menu online and knew exactly what I was going to order: The Angeleno burger cooked well-done and a PBJ shake. The Angeleno is a burger that comes with a one-third pound beef patty, special sauce, cucumber relish, leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, charred onions, sliced pickle, American cheese, avocado and bacon on a homemade bun. The PBJ shake consists of vanilla ice cream, strawberry compote and peanut butter sauce. The burger burgled me for $9 and the shake shook me down for $5, but it was all 100% totally worth it! The burger was soft, moist, full of all those different and diverse, fresh flavors and just as juicy as all get out and the shake was simply divine. It tasted JUST like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I mean JUST like one. You'll think you're six-years-old again, drinking this fantastic milkshake that is totally worth the Abe Lincoln! Totally! The 08 Oz. Burger Bar is very clean, the service is excellent and it is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. It is located in the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel pavilion, across from the upscale cigar stand, next to the buffet and across from the CMT Lounge. You can't miss it, nor should you miss it!
Review Source:We'd passed by the 08 oz. Burger Bar in the Horseshoe Casino several times and noticed it was usually busy, so we thought we'd give it a try for a mid-afternoon weekday lunch. Due to the hour (around 2 pm), the place was not busy at all, with only 5-6 tables occupied.
Unfortunately, our waitress seemed to be the only one working: she was waiting tables, seating guests and working the register. In fact, we wondered if she was also cooking the food! Naturally, this resulted in mediocre service - none of which was her fault as she was clearly trying to do her best!
I had the Melrose ($8) it was a 6 oz. burger with wild baby arugula, garlic roasted tomatoes, and red onion marmalade. While it was good - it was not remarkable. My side order of jalapenos never showed up. An order of the signature side dish, Thick Cut Garlic Fries ($4) though were greasy, didn't taste much like garlic, and had obviously been cooked some time ago. They went uneaten, and we'd have sent them back but the waitress never came back to check our order. An order of the bacon-cheese fries ($5-6 I think) was the best part of the meal as they were very tasty!
Overall, we were disappointed, but think most of our dissatisfaction stemmed from being the restaurant being inadequately staff.
