Located amongst the glitz and glamour of downtown Las Vegas Nevada, this isn't your grandma's hamburger joint. Its done up to look like a hospital with waitresses dressed as sexy nurses and waiters as doctors. Added touches such as toe-tags tied around patrons' wrists indicating their order and customers being referred to as "patients". Perhaps the most intriguing are the menu items which include the Single, Double, Triple or Quadruple Bypass hamburgers, each with the corresponding number of beef patties. The buns are coated with lard and, if one is so moved, they can add bacon--5 slices per patty to be exact! Also on the menu are flatliner fries ( the only side item--deep fried in pure lard) and a bevy of sugary sodas and butter fat shakes made with--what else- but butter fat cream. Lest I forget, for the faint of heart they do offer bottled water.
The tongue and cheek humor of using a hospital theme is not only clever, it serves as foreshadowing! As Americans we are constantly searching for that "next best thing" and originality keeps places like Heart Attack Grill relevant and intriguing. Everyone's got a gimmick! I almost forgot to add that Heart Attack Grill's special incentive. "Patients" over 350lbs. eat for free--is this adding insult to injury or a testament to American gluttony? Let your cardiologist decide...
