A: I tend to kill the surprise and hesitate to write any sort of lengthy review when I eat a burger that sucks, and this is probably going to be no exception. Finding myself on the south end of the strip with an hour to kill in between meetings the other day, I went to my phone to check for anything nearby that might be new and different. Sadly the only thing close by was American Burger Works at the lovely Excalibur, as I had been to pretty much everything else directly around me. No cliffhanger here, but read on if you want to know why it sucked so badly. The restaurant is pretty utilitarian and simple from the garage doors at the entry, to the minimal amount of treatment to their open ceiling, to the simple furniture. The menu is equally as simple: make your own burger from a small list of meat, bun and topping choices and 15 different sauces. Hasn't the whole 'design your own burger' thing been played out? Regardless of the restaurant, if they offer a burger I can probably order it however I want so this isn't really so unique of a concept is it? The fact that their website mentions they bring "a new twist to the classic burger and fries combo" is laughable. Going with the theme, I decided to keep my burger nice and simple so that I could taste a basic sample of what they offer. My burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, Jack Daniel's ketchup and Swiss cheese came out looking as boring as I had imagined. The bun was dry and difficult to eat. The meat was also very dry; the whole assembly was a vacuum of moisture in my mouth. How's that for a nice mental picture? The meat didn't really have great flavor so that didn't help much either. Between the meat and measly melted cheese something was very salty at random points throughout as well. The tomatoes were unnoticeable, the lettuce was ok, and the pickles were decent. Notice I didn't mention anything about my fancy ketchup; more on that in a minute. The thick cut Belgium French fries were flavorless and almost hollow inside as they can sometimes be when overcooked. If these were cooked right they might have been ok, but I can't promise much. And now a note about their special sauces and horrible service. As I mentioned they have 15 sauces to choose from, I chose the Jack Daniel's ketchup for something a bit neutral as to not take over my burger. When I ordered I was informed it would be on the side which was fine, but when I got my burger there was no sauce on the side, so I went back to counter to ask for it. The man behind the counter pointed to the condiment ketchup in the corner next to the soda machine. I told him if that's my one free sauce then I would like a different sauce and was told I'd have to pay extra for a second variety. Either this guy that spoke no English didn't understand me at all or this place is a total rip off with their sauces. At $15.12 for a burger, fries and drink on the strip isn't the end of the world, but for the quality and service it's about $15.12 too much. All I can say is, this place is horrible.

Answer: Soho was disappointing. Lunch was very crowded, so we sat at the bar, even though there was an open table for 3 by the window. We were just 4, but they wouldn't let us put an extra seat at the open table. It was also very loud for a weekday, the noise from other tables carrying easily. I ordered the french dip sandwich, with risotto on the side. To their credit, the risotto was delicious, but such a tiny portion, I inhaled it in no time. Especially considering the french dip was so boring. The meat and cheese was bland and the sauce had far too many herbs in it. Not to mention, the food is definitely over-priced. I don't think I'd go back, but if I did, I'd order the risotto and nothing else.

Output: Live ants crawled from the rice bowl delivered to our table. They offered us nothing, not even an apology. All they did was squish the ants against the table cloth and bring out a new rice bowl. Won't be coming back to this restaurant ever.

Answer:
After much anticipation, I finally got to try this place for my birthday. It was awesome! Sat in the bar on a Sunday and took advantage of happy hour. I love that they have the all day happy hour and they have some great items on the HH menu! Their green chili pork appetizer is to die for. I made a Roaring Fork fan out of my husband on that alone. The burger is massive and is just downright a good burger. Well worth the 10.00 on the HH menu. Heck well worth the 13.00 on the normal menu! Fries were good as well. I loved the little kettles they served everything in, miner style! Huckleberry margarita on the HH menu was different but great. Only 5.00 too! I also opted for the Dr Pepper braised short ribs with cheesy grits. Delicious! The grits were my favorite part actually but they went so well with the ribs. A bit pricey but would I order it again, hell to the yes! Green chili mac was simply ok. Although it did actually taste like green chili, it was a bit dry for my liking. I must admit, I haven't been this excited about a restaurant since I tried Taco bell for the first time at age 5! Haha. Service was spot on as well. The only thing I didn't like was that if you don't have a reservation, its hard to get in. We were fortunate though that there was a table in the bar open for the happy hour. Others were not so fortunate and had to wait around for an hour by the door behind us to make sure they snatched up a table when it became available. Seems like a poor system. There should at least be a waiting list so you are guaranteed to get the first open table if you have been waiting around. Otherwise, someone could just take the table right from under you if you are not close enough or paying attention. Other than that, this place definitely lives up to the hype!
