Yeah, that burger in the you tube video looked about 8 inches thick . I wonder what the smallest one is.

Can't resist: I think they do a triple bypass through the chest not the mouth.

LOL, from the looks of it, their smallest is probably enough for me to have 2 meals!

Oh - but the Lard is what makes them really taste good -

Everything used to be cooked in lard

It's great to hear that they opened one back up! The owner started this chain a couple of years back as a project for his MBA at ASU. Things went bad with his partner, and he was grilled by the newspapers and the locals. Food was awesome, but I would never bring a female companion.

I have been there once. the food was terrific. prices were certainly acceptable with the portion of food served. the staff was friendly and happy to be there. I would be there more often but i'm trying to lose weight and one meal there would fill my weekly allotment of calories, but that is the point! good food, good service and good prices, i give it a

my fiance, the nurse, enjoyed the place and thought the premise was completely acceptable and comical. she can't wait to go back for some of those fries. not everyone takes themselves too seriously. i mean really, who gets offended from a place with a warning on the door telling you that you shouldn't eat there....

indeed. Its amazing that everything USED to be cooked in lard, but now that food is prepared "healthier" we are fatter than ever.

My wife of 20 years and I made it out on Saturday evening. Food is good. The burger did not come to order correctly but they corrected it with a new one. I had a blast with the people there.

Great tour spot, or if you live in the area, the single bypass (1/2lb burger) will cost ya just under $8.
They also serve beers, and bottled Coca-cola.


Funny pic hanging over the "boys" urinal in the boys restroom:




Where we sat: (manniquins and screens running some TV articles of thier place, as well as they have uniquely placed mirrors for when the waitresses lean over)






This is what is known as the quadriple bypass burger. (4 1/2lb patties). they deliver the burger with "just cheese" and you go and help yourself to the dressings and pack on the french fries from a big tray.
Those weighing in over 350lbs, get one free, and those wanting to participate in a speed eating contest, the time i believe was just under two minutes to gobble this down, and top speed award winners were both from Cali. I believe if you can finish it, you also get it for free. Plus, just for kicks, they wheel out a wheelchair and a cute waitress can sit on your lap for pictures.

i went there a month or two ago and really enjoyed it

the fries are served in an all you can eat fashion

the burgers were good and the bun was really good

service was great, but the girls didn't live up to their web advertisements ....... nothing against them as they were attractive enough, but if that's the only reason you're going there you could end up disapointed

the owner was a great guy as well

the beer was some of the coldest i've found and I grabbed a real coca-cola in a bottle (made with real cane sugar) for the road

i'd go back - but would be selective in who joined me as it isn't for everyone

I am a Phoenix native who moved to Vegas in 2005. I think it would be cool to have this place in Vegas, I would be a regular myself. But, I do have to wonder how those "nurses" will look after a few years of working there. Not an insult, just realty. Las Vegas is now the fattest city of the USA. I personally have have gained 30 pounds since I moved...all those cheap buffets LOL!!!
