This is my first posts about many of the local burger places.
The Heart Attack Grill. Cheeseburgers called "The bypass", the "double bypass", "Triple bypass", "quadruple bypass". Waitress called "nurses" dressed as nurses. You walked in and these nurses put oyu in a hospital gown to protect you from the burger drippings. It sounded fun.
I was not impressed. It was all gimmick. There is a certain something to a simplistic menu, but this was overdone.
Your menu consists of a cheeseburger. Options? Number of meat patties. Number slices slices of cheese. The entire drink menu is Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, Coke, and water. With or without fries. Everything fried in deep fat lard.
I like simple. The concept of "do one thing, do it very well" radiate to me. I always like the concept of "K.I.S.S.", but this place missed.
The burgers were greasy, but not tasty. Littpe to no spices to flavour them up. Very bland at best. Honestly, i get more flavour from some of the fast food burgers. While I knew walking in that I could not get my burger done the way I like it, the lack of fixings really showed the disappointment of the burger. The buns were basic were standard store bought. Everything is overpriced. The fries tasted like they were the cheap version out of a bag from the grocery store.
So.....Sex sells though, right. The bad food can be made for with cute, flirty, waitresses walking around in nurses dresses. That didn't even work. They dressed like nurses. Not in the short skirt, heels, garter and hose nurses, but in scrubs with sneakers.
Maybe I was expecting a lot more out of it, but it was a major disappointment. The burgers were below average. The fries were dead. The bun was blah. The sex appeal turned into formlessness. But at least I had to pay like it was a premium burger.
Now, I will come out and say nothing was bad, repulsive or made me want to run from the place. And it was edible. And if it was half the price, I might look at going back. Unfortunately, to make the Cheeseburger in Paradise cut, if you seriously disappoint on the first shot, you don't get a second chance.
I give it a 2 on a 0 to 5 scale.
Heart attack grill has since closed. This happened before the post was published.
