Visited BurGR during a recent business trip to Las Vegas. It was one of the meals that I was most looking forward to. Unfortunately, it failed me...at least partially. Dining by myself this meal, I bypassed the line of waiting people and asked the hostess if I could simply sit at the bar, where there was one empty seat remaining. She said Yes and soon I was being served by a very nice bartender. While I was perusing the menu, I ordered an Angry Orchard Cider (the Crisp variety was on tap) and it was delicious! For my meal, I chose the Parmesan Beer Battered Maui Onion Rings, which came with chipotle ketchup and cheddar ranch dip, and the Britannia Burger, described as being topped with English sharp cheddar, mango chutney, and arugula. The restaurant was very busy, but even so the service was fairly prompt. When my meal arrived, I first tried an onion ring and IT WAS AMAZING...by itself and with either of two dipping sauces! Sadly, the burger was another thing entirely. I took my first bite, expecting to receive a broad flavor of savory meat and cheese, spicy arugula, and sweet mango chutney. Well, the savory and the spicy were there, but there was no sweetness whatsoever. Confused, I put down the burger, removed the top, and found nothing that resembled chutney. I called over the bartender, explained the situation, and she offered to either bring me a small dish of chutney or have them make me a new burger entirely, this time with the chutney included. I chose the former, but what she brought me, in my opinion, could scarcely be called a \"chutney\". When I think of a chutney, I think of a mixture of diced fruits and spices that retain some semblance of solidity. What I got was thin, runny, and had maybe two very thin slices of something that may have been a fruit at some point. I dipped a finger, tasted it, and it was sweet, so I poured it atop my hamburger patty. Sadly, as I lifted the burger and took a bite, much of the thin liquid substance leaked out the sides, affecting the overall flavor of the burger very little. The burger was still good, not great, but good, so I went ahead and finished it without further comment to the bartender. Had it not been for the saving grace of those onion rings, this meal would have been a disaster, especially given the price of the burger. So, my advice, get the onion rings and if you are considering the Britannia Burger, then make sure that they have improved the chutney before ordering. That said, if you are craving a good burger on the Strip, then I highly recommend Fukuburger within Fame in the Linq; but better yet, if you can get off Strip, then go to Bachi Burger!
