text: After living in Vegas for over years now I have eaten quite a few burgers all over town but since starting this blog I have had to look at many of them in a whole new light One burger I have eaten many times is the one at AllAmerican Bar Grille at the Rio because I used to work down the street I remembered it being decent but how does it hold up now that I am being completely subjectivennThe front seating area of AllAmerican is a fairly clean loud area with a big bar and lots of TVs open directly into the equally loud and slightly more hideous casino floor It is great for people watching as the Rio does not always attract the most savory folks It was especially great the day I went for my burger as NASCAR was in town Need I say more The back seating area of the restaurant is a bit nicer if you are coming here for a steak you might want to eat back therennBoth the lunch and dinner menus are fairly similar featuring a wide variety of steaks and pretty much every generic thing offered in all bars across the country The choice of the day for me was the AllAmerican Classic Burger which I got with sautueed mushrooms Swiss cheese and the standard lettuce tomato and onions What gets served to you is a decent presentation but I was a bit disappointed by the waffle fries that I immediately saw on my plate as I am typically not a fan and I was not given a choice for anything else The meat had decent flavor but was way overcooked from the mediumrare I had ordered while my friends medium was cooked how I would have liked Did they mix up our orders or can they just not cook to order properly The bun had good flavor but was a bit too thick and way too dry The sautueed mushrooms had peppery good flavor and the Swiss was melted and tasted good And while I used maybe of the lettuce they provided me all of the veggies were fresh and good as wellnnMy waffle fries as I mentioned were quite disappointing kind of stale not very hot and pretty generic For years coming to AllAmerican I remembered getting a basket of random fries some waffle curly skinny and fat That would have been more welcome as I liked the variety even if it seemed like you were always eating from a mixed bottom of the barrelnnOverall the burger was good but nothing out of this world is probably about right for a casino location such as this but I think it is a little steep for what it is Plus the service has typically been less than stellar every time I have been there I think on this particular trip our waitress took our food order and drink order at the same time Talk about being prompt There probably are not too many other choices off the strip by the Rio but if you are at the property and want a burger you cannot go wrong just do not go out of your way to come here
