Fatburger

I like the greasy burger and fries here. There's not a location near me, but I liked what I had. I'd visit again the next time I'm around one.

Somehow I hadn't even heard of Fatburger before seeing it on my way to BJ's Restaurant nearby the other week. In trying to expand where I go for lunch, so I decided to head over and check it out after looking at their website and seeing how tasty it looked.

I liked the setting right away when I walked in-a kind of clever mashup of classic 50s diners and modern style. There's a jukebox with CDs and an old fashioned burger counter, but the tables and booths and other decorations are more modern.

I ordered the Fat Combo, which is their single patty burger with fries and a drink-I went with the fat fries, as I love steak fries. The fact that they offered them made me already like the place a little bit.

My order came up in good time-they cook it to order, so it's a bit of a wait but no more than 5-7 minutes, I'd say. I was starving so I tried some fries as I drove back to work and was impressed right away-they were the perfect balance between soft and crispy, and not overloaded with salt.

When I unwrapped the burger, it wasn't "fat" by any means, but really, when does a burger actually look like it does in those pretty pictures? I thought it tasted really good, and was a little greasy but not to the point where the bun was soggy.

Overall, I definitely enjoyed Fatburger-awesome fries, good burger, cool atmosphere. It's a little pricier than other places so I won't go that often, but I'll definitely be back.

Had it for the first time in Vegas. Great burgers.
