Star Burger

NOTE: This place hasn’t closed as erroneously reported here, but it has changed names. It is now called the Little City Grill, same location:

Excellent food and a great price. Bacon burger and fries for less than $ 6. How can you beat that price!
I put a four but this place is edging on the boarder of a five. I found this location while coming back from Hoover Dam. The place felt like something straight out of my youth. The service was extremely friendly and the view out the window was of the town.
The food here was absolutely amazing the the price was great. I must admit I couldn’t eat here everyday, since most of the food is certainly not on any health list I’ve seen, yet that didn’t stop me from having one the better burgers I’ve had in a while.
A definite must stop if you are driving through Boulder City.

Quick! Name another reason to go to Boulder City-​other than taking a tour of Hoover Dam?
Now you have one…
Star Burger is the real deal! From the outside, this place looks like a dump– let’s not kid ourselves. After contemplating other options, my family and I gathered up the courage and headed in –expecting the worst. Instead, we were greated by a friendly staff and inviting dining area.
I decided to try the green chile burger and homemade curly fries. The burger itself was a good size and the bun was super soft. The burger comes with ranch on it, but I chose to have it on the side in case green chile and ranch was not a good combination. Surprisingly, I didn’t even need the ranch. The juicy burger, tomato, and green chile was tasty enough without it.
The fries do not come with the burgers… please take note. You will have to pay extra if you want either the curly fries or crinkle fries. Both were good– not great. The curly fries were a little overdone, and not seasoned as much as they could have been.
My wife and daughter chose the regular bacon burger that came with a thousand island sauce on it. This burger was delicious as well, but I would recommend having the sauce on the side here too. The bun is soft, so the sauce on it almost makes it dissolve by the end of your burger.
We finished our meal by sharing a small chocolate/​raspberry milkshake. If I wasn’t lactose intolerant –I would have really enjoyed this more. The total was $ 50.00 for the family and was well worth it.
Bottom line, burgers are amazing and the service is good. We will be coming back –real soon.

Found this great place on Unilocal while visiting Hoover Dam. It’s awesome — and should be featured someday on Diners, Drive-​Ins and Dives. My buddy and I both got the green chili angus beef burger, and we split their two varieties of French fries. The meal was fantastic! And the staff are great people. They came over to chat with us about the place during our visit. Even the chef came out to show us a few «burgers of the past» photos from his iPhone, including one he said he made a while back for a biker with a huge appetite. He claims the biker survived, although from the size of the burger one would have to wonder! Great place — great people.

I was drawn to this place by the rave reviews and wanted to see how it compared to Pit Stop. I was expecting a typical fast food set-​up, but this is a homey sit-​down joint with very friendly waitresses. I ordered the mushroom and Swiss burger with fries and just like when I ordered the same thing at Pit Stop, there were canned mushrooms instead of fresh – is this a Boulder City thing? Other than that, the food was tasty. I liked this place more than Pit Stop and will return, but I think I’ll try the mac n cheese next time – there aren’t mushrooms in that.

I will start off with the fact that I was starving when I visited Star Burger (soon to be Little City Grille). I had the Bacon Burger ($ 5.39) with regular fries. It was super tasty. Nice soft bun, crispy onion ring and bacon, cheese nicely melted and the burger was very juicy. The fries came out hot and crispy and the fry sauce was pretty tasty too. Service was prompt and friendly. Goodly sized portions for the price.

My husband and I stopped in here for a bite to eat on our way back to Phoenix from Las Vegas. A little rough around the edges but its a pretty cool place. The service was fantastic. Everyone was so friendly! We sat at the counter bar which was not the most comfortable spot but it was fun to watch people pull up to the drive thru window. Also, we got to chit-​chat with the waitresses and people picking up their takeout orders. This place does a pretty good business. It seems like there are a lot of very loyal regulars.
I have to admit that I was a little underwhelmed by the food but I think my expectations were just too high after reading all the soaring paises in the Unilocal reviews. I got the chilli Mac and cheese which was decent but a little bland. Next time I will get a burger since my hubby really liked his.
fyi, the owner mentioned that they are going to be changing their name soon, but I can’t remember now what the new name is, so I guess that’s not very helpful. Something like City Grill, I think.

Star Burger is changing it’s name to the Little City Grille. Based on Unilocal reviews and since I was heading to Arizona to buy lottery tickets I decided to give Star Burgers a try.
Parking was a breeze and I was in the door fast. Once inside I immediately felt comfortable. I was met promptly, told to pick any place to sit that I wanted, and I had a menu and was being read the daily specials in no time. I ended up ordering the Green Chile Burger with avocado (again based on Unilocal comments), with curly fries and ice tea.
My food didn’t take too long to make, and it looked good. I made it a point to try the Star Sauce but the fries and the sauce didn’t really work for me. The fries could have been a bit crispier, and the sauce was a little too… well saucy, as in too creamy for me. It was good, but not great. The burger was juicy without being too much so. Being a green chile burger I expected a bit more heat, the nice woman who took my order said she ordered the avocado to take the heat out, but I was thinking it needed more heat, not less. Still it was good.
I ordered a strawberry shake to go. I wish I could say it was something special but it’s just another strawberry shake. They do offer pineapple ones and I wish I had tried that instead.
Overall, while the fries and sauce were ho-​hum, a good juicy burger and SERVICE with a SMILE wins me over again. 4 stars. Oh and they even asked for feedback and didn’t give any attitude when I mentioned the fries. They care and it shows. I got a strong hunch I’ll be back.

When I go to Boulder City, I usually go to Pit Stop. Actually, that isn’t true. I ALWAYS go to Pit Stop when I go to Boulder City. For me, Pit Stop was the king of Boulder’s burgers. Now that I’ve visited Star Burger, I feel like a new king could be crowned. I’ll need to do more research before saying that for sure, but at the very least they should be co-​kings.
The burger selection at Star Burger is huge. They have Kobe burgers, burgers with eggs on them — all kinds of burgers! I ordered mine with an egg on it. They normally cook the eggs medium but will change it on request. I told them that I like my yolk a bit more runny and they happily obliged. The patty wasn’t overcooked and had plenty of flavor.
They have homemade curly fries, too. I rarely get fries when I eat unless they are something special. Curly fries are normally on the bottom of my «something special» fry list. My brother talked them up a lot so I ordered some. They did not dissapoint! Too often curly fries are hard as a rock, but these didn’t have that issue. Maybe they could have been a little crunchier but they were still good. And they actually tasted like potatoes — a requirement the makers of most curly fries seem to forget about.
Star Burger has great food, friendly people and a lot of options. I’ll be visiting this place again when I’m in Boulder. Pit Stop has well established itself as Boulder City’s burger place, but if it’s variety and something new you want, give Star Burger a try!

I came here with 4 of my friends for lunch today. I got chicken fingers with crinkle fries, 2 of my friends got blt’s and the other 2 got bacon cheeseburgers. I just got water but my friend got a choco milk shake and it was yummy, standared but good.
Chicken fingers-​personaly i dont think there as good as the ones at pitstop there smaller and you only get 4 of them but there not fatty or anything and its white meat
Fries-​Ok these are kind of adicting they are crispy and yummy defently better looking then the curly fires.
Onion rings-​my friend gave me hers from her baken burger becuase she didnt want
was defently crips and flavorful, the only down side was when you tryed to break it in half most of the onion came out with it, other then that very yumm i may get those next time
Star sause– The lady was very nice and gave us like 6 containers of it for our food. I personaly like this sause better then the fri sause at pit
is sweeter and very very good! It tasted hella good on the fries and the onion ring.
ps;they have fried pickes for $ 4. something and i want to get those next time because they look good and ive never had them before. Its a little more expensive then pitstop on something, but others are cheaper, and most things come with a drink so thats good. Good place to eat ill come back.

We discovered Star Burgers for dinner one evening while spending one night in BC at the Boulder Dam Hotel (fantastic historic place) on our way to visit my family in AZ over Christmastime 2011. Hubby’s cheeseburger was huge, well cooked, piled with fresh lettuce, tomato and onion with sides of their famous curly fries and coleslaw. His soda was never empty. I ordered the Clam Strip Basket served with cocktail sauce, curly fries, coleslaw (which I gave to hubby) and I added (for only $ 1.50 more) their homemade mac ‘n cheese which was delicious! I loved their thick chocolate shake served with the long spoon since the ice cream barely made it through the straw! Yes the portions were big… hubby polished off his, but I had some clam strips left over. Service was prompt and very friendly and we liked the old-​fashioned burger dive feel to it.
All-​in-​all a yummy burger joint experience. We’ll eat there again when we travel to see my family the end of this year.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Huge burger selection, friendly employees, such a cute little roadside stop! This is a great place to stop before or after a Hoover Dam tour.
Favorite burgers were Red, White & Blue and also the Green Chile Burger. If you decide to get fries, get the fries AND drink combo. For whatever reason, it is 14¢ cheaper than getting just fries.
Overall, highly recommend!

Ended up at Star Burger after I tried calling my bro in BC about dinner plans but he did not answer. What a coincidence that he would be dining right down the road at Casa Flores…
Tonight my GF tried the green chili burger. It is one of the best damn burgers it has ever been my pleasure to taste. My Red, White & Blue burger with home made curly fires was just as good as it always is.

We went there after a day of window shopping in downtown Boulder City.
This place has the feel of an old fashioned burger joint.
The staff was very friendly. The kids menu is a good value. It comes with drinks and an ice cream cone. I had the chile burger which had a great flavor and wasn’t too hot. The fries are fresh made on this contraption which makes really long, curly, shoestring fries. Nothing like fresh cut fries!!!
I saw the Kobe burger for $ 10, next time I’m gonna get it!
All in all, a good experience. I will definitely go there again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!
It’s a MUST place to go after a great day on the lake! The portions are huge great for when your super hungry! The place itself is a warm and cozy old burger joint vibe and it only is only topped by the great service! Everyone there is always in a good mood and pleasant… I have never had my drinks go below half full! The homemade fries and burgers are to die for!

My wife and I were drawn into this place by their signage that said «HOMEMADE CURLY FRIES!» Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
This place has the old burger stand feel to it. When you enter through the front door, you are greeted and welcomed to grab a menu and sit where ever you like. For us, we sat underneath the cool air conditioning vent.
The bathrooms are clean, the dining area is clean, the employees are cheery and very friendly.
My wife and I actually mirrored our orders off each other. We both got:
— Kobe Burger with Swiss Cheese & Mushrooms
— Curly Fries
— A Drink
— Malt Shakes (I got chocolate, she got raspberry)
Everything was delicious. The people there are super friendly and attentive to our needs. I had a great experience and made a great day even better!
My one tip for you Unilocalers is that the portions are HUGE! My wife and I were not even half done when we looked at each other and moaned. We could have easily just split the burger, fries and shake between us.
We are glad we didn’t though. Through stuffing ourselves and then finally admitting defeat, the leftovers were a beautiful reminder of the awesome food they have here.
I am a fan, I love it here. I will drive 40 miles and 1 hour from home just to come here again. And I will bring people, lots of people. ;)

found this place on our ride back from the dam and i ordered a Kiebasa burger and it was great. All the way to the bread to. Also got the crinkle fries with them and they where cooked perfect.
My wife hated her chicken sandiwch though :-(

When I need a large peanut butter chocolate milkshake, a bowl of mac n’ cheese, curly fries, chili and a greasy burger with thick cuts of kielbasa on top, then I go to Star Burgers.
Even if I don’t need all that, it’s obligatory to drop in and order a large peanut butter chocolate milkshake when ever I am within ten miles of the vicinity.
Star Burgers is good at being what it is: a greasy burger and fatty milkshake diner in a cozy little town.
And they have bathrooms. Out back.

Heading to Boulder City, we decide to grab a bite before going antiquing. We drive by Star Burgers and it kinda had that old school burger joint look, so we decide to give it a shot.
Browsing the menu, I come across the Fried Egg Burger-​SOLD! along with Onion Rings and a Vanilla Malt. Wifey gets a Bacon Cheeseburger with Crinkle cut fries and a Root Beer Float. The burgers here are pretty solid, but their «Star Sauce» tastes like nothing more than a mixtue of ketchup, mayo, and worcestershire… Service was great and so was our lunch… ALOHA!!!

Eh, it was alright. I opted for the basic burger — single patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and «star sauce», with cheese. For the fries, I went with the curly fries.
The bad:
— No restrooms.
— Service, while friendly when it happens, was lacking.
— The lemonade, which was listed separately from the sodas, was just the crappy fountain pink «lemonade».
— The «star sauce» was no different than any other «special sauce». In fact, I’m pretty sure I have a bottle of it in my fridge.
— The toppings (lettuce, pickles, etc.) were not of good quality.
— The burger itself was nothing of note — no great flavor, no juiciness.
The good:
— Free refills.
— Table service.
— Extra «star sauce» automatically comes with your order in a little plastic side cup, which was nice for fry dipping.
— It’s got a dive-​y, roadside feel to it that was nice.
— Ample parking.
— The curly fries, while a bit undercooked, had a good flavor.
— The menu was fairly sizable with plenty of burger, sandwich, and ice cream offerings.
— There’s also a drive-​thru.
— It probably is the best burger in Boulder City.
I would probably stop here again next time I am in the BC. However, I would not be inclined to order a burger.
