We came here recently because we wanted burgers and beer. Figured they had it in the name so they probably had it all. Service was good here and our food came out super quick. I got the drive thru burger, which is 2 patties with some stuff on it. It was cooked exactly the way I wanted and was very filling. The fries were super yummy, too I honestly don’t remember what beer we had here, but they had a pretty good selection. Price on the food seemed reasonable, the beers not so much. But it’s Vegas and was pretty in line with Vegas prices. They had a ton of TV’s in there and playing the game, which was nice. It would be a good place to go sit and watch some football.

Came here early for lunch, the beer selection was good. Service was okay, but over time got worse even as the place remained dead. Annoying… The burger left quite a lot to be desired. This place needs a lot of work from the décor, food, and service side.

After my first bad experience, I thought I would give this place another try. My waiter, Stephen, was delightful. I even told him about my previous bad experience. He vowed to make it better. Unfortunately, there is only so much he can do about the quality and flavor of the food. I ordered a burger with a lettuce bun and my husband ordered a burger on a pretzel bun. They came out warm and fresh. Sadly, the meat was thin and uninteresting. The fries were abysmal. Skinny, dry and lukewarm. It’s sad because I really want to love this place. The burger isn’t bad, but it just isn’t memorable. The fries need to go.

We had some friends in town staying at the venetian and had lunch over at B&B burger and everything we had was not bad, but not good. The prices were fair for being in the venetian, but the food was just fair. I would definitely not rush back and check out other burger places on the strip.

(3.5 stars) I was crazy excited to finally try a Mario Batali restaurant.(I actually think this is his only causal restaurant.) Although I very much enjoyed my burger(the bottom burner), the restaurant did have a few issues. For example, why is alternate/hard rock music constantly playing in the background and why is it so loud? From reading the description, the bottom burner had my name all over it: jalapeño pesto, pepper jack cheese, onion rings, and hot sauce. How could I not love it?(Although it doesn’t list it, the default is to put mayo on the burger so make sure to mention leaving it off if you don’t want any.) The burger had a lot heat to it that really snuck up on me after a few bites, which was great. It was well-cooked and a bit on the greasy side but very different and worth getting. It’s a little upsetting the burgers don’t come with sides but we got some fries and onion rings anyway cause how could you not? I enjoyed the onion rings a lot as they were on the thinner and crispier side. Also, they were nice enough to prepare a special batch to accommodate a food allergy of ours. The French fries were initially super disappointing: lukewarm and salty. We asked for a fresher batch and they were much better, although still only average fries sadly. It’s not a cheap burger place by any means and the sides are a tad disappointing but the service was friendly and accommodative, and if the bottom burner sounds like something that interests you, stop and get it for sure.

Went to B&B Burger for lunch and I am giving it a 2 star rating because of two things. First of all, the service was okay and secondly, my chicken burger was under cooked. The hosts were awesome to greet us, but then the server took a while to approach us even with the low amount of people in the restaurant. So, after 5 mins the gentleman got our drink orders. Then, he was nice to ask if we wanted any recommendations. Our food came out fairly quickly, but my chicken was undercooked. I asked for jalepenos on my sandwich and ordered hot sauce too, but didn’t get any. Another gentleman that was not my server was kind enough to bringvme some. I will say this, I did enjoy the fries very much and I loved the environment as well. Overall, my experience at B & B was OKAY. Their menu is very unique, so if you are looking for a burger with a twist this is the place for you. I would give it another try hoping my server is a little more attentive next time.

Not a bad burger but not great either. Id rather have some In and Out down the road. The service was fine and friendly. Server was very helpful in describing the cooking temps and styles of burgers. The ambience was a la classic burger dinner of the 50s. Fairly clean. Not a heavily trafficked area any time I saw it or when I ate there which speaks volumes. Food was good. Satisfying burger and fries. Unfortunately the basic burger had to be cooked at medium well. Deposits that the server was right that it’d still taste good. It was $ 10. I just could bring myself to go for the $ 20 burgers. The amount of food was decent. Okay review for an okay place. I would likely try other places. Like I said, In and Out is cheaper and more delicious.

Hummus and Grilled Pita $ 7 The Morning After $ 15 The Bottom Burner $ 14 Fries $ 6 My wife and I came here with a friend for a stop over lunch before my friend’s wife got out of work. The décor is very hip with a lot of orange colors and a bar. My friend and my wife had the morning after burger(Sautéed Mushrooms, Fontina, Sunny Side Egg, Truffle Aioli, Friseé) and I had the bottom burner(Jalapeño Pesto, Onion Rings, Mario’s Hot Sauce). My wife and my friend said their burger was really good especially with the runny egg. My burger was really really spicy but good. The only negative I would say was that the jalapeño pesto was pretty much diced jalapeños! The fries were of the small kind i.e. in-and-out style. Overall, I would try this place again in the future as they got TVs to watch your sports and milkshakes! And by the way, I ordered hummus to throw in something healthy for my lunch. Hehe

Disclaimer: did not have burger — had snacks. Overall: I’d love to come back and try their food but their milkshake was amazing and the beer selection much better than elsewhere on the strip. +1: Great location and service. We were promptly seated and order taken care of +1: Great milkshake! I did feel like i was going to explode after finishing only half of it. Super rich and delicious. Definitely worth sharing. –1: A bit annoying that they don’t have a bathroom inside. You have to walk into the casino and across the floor to even wash hands.

My husband is a big fan of burgers and when we saw that Mario Batali had a burger joint on the strip, we knew we wanted to visit and we were not disappointed. I got the Royale with Cheese and my husband got the Very Good Burger. The concern I have with burger menus is that the flavors tend to be the same. These were very different burgers. Mine had a mild flavor, his was much more umami and bolder flavors. Both were cooked a delicious medium rare and the seasoning was spot on. We also got the onion rings. They were delicious. My loan complaint of the day was that they were just served with ketchup, rather than some house-made sauce. We also got two different shakes. I got the caramel swirl and he got the cherry bourbon shake. They were both phenomenal tasting and there was snafu for us to swap flavors and have almost two full shakes. It’s not cheap for a shake and burger, but I’ve never had a shake and burger as good as those were. Definitely worth the up charge, in my mind.

On the way out of Las Vegas my friends and I stopped at B&B for lunch. Located in the Venetian/Palazzo hotel, B&B is a new American Burger joint that will fulfill your craving for a good olé burger. I order the morning after which was delicious, the egg on top was perfectly cooked runny but not messy. Although delicious, I did think it was over priced for a burger, I have yet to find a burger that I am willing to pay more than $ 10. My standard of a good and affordable burger is In N Out. I gave this place a three not because the food wasn’t good, trust me it is delicious — it wasn’t amazing and the it was pricey for just an average burger. I’d comeback but won’t necessarily go out of my way for it.

sunday night in vegas. yep, one of those nights. party of 11, they sat us altogether and it was not a hassle. we made reservations, and b/c it’s vegas, i’d recommend making a reservation no matter where you go. #1 these burgers were FANTASTIC. honestly, i was MEH about the idea of burgers when a friend had made the reservations. there is so much good food in vegas, why hit a burger joint in the venetian? but i was happily surprised. meat is juicy, fresh, and cooked exactly the way you order it. the burgers are creative, and not any more expensive than any other dedicated burger place — about $ 11 – 12(except for in-n-out). i had the Bottom Burner, and it’s called that b/c the expectation is that your bum is going to bleed and burn when this comes out the other end. sounds yummy, right? well, it was. delicious burger, topped with a jalepeno pesto(basically jalepenos chopped up into tiny bits and smeared on there) topped with pepper jack cheese and a giant onion ring. it was so tasty! among our group, we basically got one of each burger, and everyone was super happy. the appetizers were ok — they offer fried pickles and these are definitely worth trying. fried oysters were also good. great drinks, large beer selection. the Nutella milkshake is a heart attack in a glass but so worth it. definitely share b/c it is a lot of milkshake.

Mario, Joe – no desserts – what’s a matta you? I was going to a show at the Venetian Theatre last night and I decided to give B&B Burger a go. The place was almost empty. I opted to sit at the bar where I could watch the basketball game while eating. Omar, the barkeep, brought menus to me promptly and got my iced tea. I ordered a morning after burger and an order of fries. My iced tea was kept refilled during dinner and it was a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the food while watching the game. In a short time, a runner brought my burger and fries. It was cooked just the way I asked – rare. The meat was red and I was pleased. The morning after burger consists of a good sized burger with sautéed mushrooms, fontina cheese, a sunny side up egg, truffle aioli, and frisée. The serving of fries was a standard size and they were good. Because of the sunny side up egg, I opted to eat the burger as if it were an open faced sandwich. The last thing I wanted was dripping yolk on my clothes before a show. The burger was juicy and the egg and fontina cheese added nicely to the flavor. At the end of the meal, I asked about dessert. Omar told me they had shakes. Originally they did have desserts when the place opened, but they just didn’t sell so they dropped them. I opted to have a refill of my iced tea and I knew I could find somewhere else for my after dinner sugar fix. Omar asked if I wanted the iced tea placed in a to go glass. Nice touch and thoughtful service. The restaurant is in a bit of an out of the way corner. I think the target market are the poker players from the poker room next door and the race and sports bettors from across the hallway. This was a good burger. Strip prices, mind you, but not any more expensive than most of the burger places on the Strip. A-OK!

This is an awesome location to grab yourself a seat and enjoy some food and beer while watching the sports book TVs(we were at the ToGo portion). The sashimi peppers and fried pickles were reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The service was quick and friendly, and we really enjoyed being able to sit down and watch the game without throwing down a $ 50 minimum per head to just relax. I also had the pulled pork BBQ sandwich… It wasn’t as awesome as the appetizers were, but certainly hit the spot!

Had an «ok» dinner here during my last night in Vegas which included some wings, a beer, and the morning after burger. Their beer selection is more than adequate so I’m a little surprised by the select few on here that said it is lacking. A good mix of local, craft and international breweries on tap or in bottles. Typical Vegas prices around $ 8 a beer. The wings had a decent buffalo sauce but since they are served lollipop style on a bed of blue cheese, they arrived a little colder than I’d like. I typical like«flappers» as opposed to legs so they weren’t ideal. The burger itself wasn’t anything too special. The mushrooms were strong so that was the overbearing taste you get on this burger option. Probably needed some sort of strong sauce to cut into them a bit. Burger itself was cooked well but lacked much flavor. Fries are shoestring which I like, no real complaints there. Decent option but not something I’d overly recommend.

I really wanted to love this place and wished the other Unilocalers just had super high expectation of the place, which resulted in the low rating. However, I was quite disappointed with my meal. We ordered 3 appetizers 3 shakes 3 mains. Waited for awhile and everything came all at once :(had to rush and ate everything at the same time. The price was ok, given it is located on the strip. Nice presentation. Loved all the flavors of our food. However, our food were all somewhat cold, oily and soggy. It looks like a nice place to grab a beer though.

Sad to say, go somewhere else for a meal. Ordered the bottom burner. Jalapeño pesto is over powering without good flavor. On top of that, two, overly greasy onion rings(no onion flavor all oil) is also on the burger, awful. The burger also included a dollop of «buffalo wing sauce» with a smidge of blue cheese. Just a greasy flavorless spicy wreck and I like spicy. Photo included. Looks like it could be good but wasn’t in any way. To top it off… no ketchup to be added to at least make this palatable. I hated it and I like everything. Worst thing I’ve eaten in Las Vegas and I’ve come every year for the last six years. Toughest part, my meal cost $ 18 and I ordered water.

Was a little nervous to come here after reading the reviews. People either loved it or think it’s overpriced and the service is bad. The price is the price — I mean it’s a strip burger in a nice hotel — so no issues here. I must say the service was very good. We had people refilling our drinks regularly, the waiter was friendly and efficient and the food came out quickly. We went at about 4:30pm on a Thursday so there wasn’t a big crowd, but my experience was certainly above average. I had the Royale with Cheese(Robiola Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Grilled Treviso, Parmigiano-Mascarpone Cream). I wasn’t a big fan of the grilled treviso, and I thought the sesame bun didn’t quite stand up to the quality of the meat & other ingredients. Would try the Drive-Thru burger next time on something other than the sesame bun. The fries were good, but not special. The onion rings were way above average. I would definitely come back.

We had very high expectations when food TV stars pen their name on a burger joint; with Batali being a culinary household brand, I expected america’s biggest, juiciest chargrilled burgers… I was soooooo wrong… Turns out we’re on the Vegas strip, overfilled with tourists and this specific joint located at the East exit of the Venetian leading to the fancy shmancy 24 hour Walgreens, was way overhyped and overpriced for what it is; it did however have a decent beer list. And, too bad, as the ambiance could have been upbeat and nice. The restaurant was empty when we walked in at 10pm and the hostess stated that we can only sit at the bar as the entire dining room, which closes at 1am was closed. Shame on you Batali!!! As for the food, it showed extremely well on the plate, nice presentation and looked appetizing(as you can see by the pictures I took of my meal); but that’s where the meatfest honeymoon I was hoping to be on, stopped cold in its feet! The burger patty was super thin and small for the advertised 6oz patty and versus the huge bun housing it — and it looks nothing remotely close to the oversized burger and Batali advertising poster pointing to the place throughout the property, elevators and hallways. I mean come on! charge more but make it Right! Don’t offer what every Five Guys and Carls has; I came here for an upper-tier huge burger experience!!! I added a side salad and an order of kettle chips which were bland and ordinary, fillers: nothing special. Once we sat at the bar, the Service was decent but not great. Both bartender and wait staff didn’t seem To want to be there as their body language and small chatter between courses gave the impression they were eager to get out of the place and party, no! No! No! Skip this dump, the bill For my consumption was a waste of USD$ 32. #RipOff #NeverAgain

Had another great meal last night here at B&B. Tried out another burger and sandwich that both were delicious! The Bottom burner burger was awesome as well as spicy. My mouth was on fire but the burgers flavor more than compensated for that. Last was the eggplant parmigiano sandwich. Never has eggplant taste so damn good on a sandwich in my opinion and I’m not just saying this because it’s food from Batali. The eggplant was well flavored and blended perfectly with the marinara and mozzarella. I most definitely recommend this sandwich to anyone. Had a few drinks after eating with friends and chilled for a while hoping to possibly meet Chef Batali since I knew he was at B&B the night before and was hosting a party at another of his restaurants nearby(wishful thinking)…but nothing came of it lol. Maybe next time. I still haven’t come across a dish here that I can brush off as being just ok… and that’s why I continue to visit. The food here is awesome!!! Dinner 6÷6÷2015
