A: So, this is one in the series of reviews I'm throwing up there during my #transientweek adventure during the first week of July thru Southern Nevada and Arizona. After reading all the reviews, damn, I wish i would have tried some food. We came here while plowing thru bars one night in Phoenix. The prices were very reasonable and got smashed off Kiltlifter and shots of Jameson (this seems to be a very disturbing trend). Our waitresses were the bomb. Had a great time. Cool little shindig of an area if you're in the area. Plus, Jerome is my hero.

A: For nearly 11 months, I've been attempting to express in words the amount of suckiness that is involved in Rock of Ages. The urge to avoid a Whitesnake reference in my Yelp! review probably sucked up 9 of my lost months. I tried. I really, really tried. Please don't pay for this show. Go sell yourself next to the Fremont Hotel. You'll feel better in the morning.

A: My boyfriend and I had been wanting to try this place for awhile, so when we saw a meet up group was scheduled to try this place out, we decided to sign up. I haven't found my perfect burger joint in Las Vegas yet, and I was hoping this would be it. Not so much. The restaurant itself has a good atmosphere. Chalk boards on the wall that you can leave messages on give it a nice cozy touch. There is a bar area that you can get alcohol at if you wish, however, the rest of the restaurant is a very family oriented environment. A walk up counter where you place your order gives the restaurant an additional casual feel. Unfortunately, the hamburgers themselves are just not that good. To begin with, the menu only offers about 6 different burger options. The woman across the table from me had ordered the "caprese" burger, which was supposed to be a twist on a caprese salad. Which is actually a cool idea. A generous slice of mozzarella was atop her burger, but the one tomato slice looked sad and carelessly plopped on there, and the few limp slices of basil looked limp. My boyfriend ordered the barbecue burger, which caramelized onions in place of straw onions. In a weird twist, the "homemade" barbecue sauce is actually a cross between ketchup and barbecue, and the restaurant has neither, plain ketchup, or plain barbecue. A conservative dollop was on top of his burger, along with soggy onions that appeared to have been swimming in grease, and sitting on a fryer for an extended period of time. (Note that the menu does have options besides classic hamburgers such as veggie burgers and a salmon burger- which I didn't try and can't comment on. However, if you are a burger place and can't make a good hamburger, I just don't trust you to make experimental substitutes). I will say that the "I love bacon" burger I ordered- a combination of ground bacon, and brisket, topped with bacon and "bacon mayo" was pretty good, and the most impressive of the burgers I saw. It was maybe a bit dry, but then again, that is what happens when you make a hamburger out of brisket. Finally, our order of sweet potato fries were somewhat bland, a little overdone, and nothing to really get excited over. The Parmesan garlic fries that our dining companions ordered were alright to munch on while we waited for our food, but again, nothing I would miss if I never had again. Overall, it was an OK experience, but given the many restaurants in the area, I doubt I will be back.

A:
Is the $24 hamburger worth it? Yes. Yes it is.
