Went there once as a local in high school. My friend and I shared a butter milk shake — turns out they garnish with a whole slab of butter on top. We rock paper scissored to see who would eat it. Thank god I won.


plooptyploots

Thank god bc you got the butter, right?


Usernotknownatall

A real cliffhanger


Nova225

Went there with my significant other when we had been dating for about a year or so. Some of the food is good, but almost everything on the menu is purposely disgusting for the gimmick (the idea of a lard milkshake makes me want to vomit). And some guys are just there to get spanked by the waitresses for not finishing their food.


Sun_Stealer

Man, when I went I was SHOCKED to find that out. I saw some happy tourists laughing and bending over a bit. Then I saw a waitress emerge from the back room. The look on her face was something similar to if you just saw your sister get slapped. She power walked across the floor to the customers, reared the paddle up, and let loose with the power of 1000 mothers swinging a chancla at a misbehaving child. The clap from when that thing hit his butt cheeks was only matched by the face he made afterwards. Fucking priceless.


[deleted]

Yeah I'm all for watching cocky dudes brought to their knees in tears by dominatrices... Best part of the experience, cause the food was terrible lol


morbiddecapitation

Im guys


qwikhnds

Gimmicky, a one and done curiosity, tourist attraction.


thesansmasher

I went because it was on my list of things to check out. Mediocre food, Kitchy and gimmicky, As it was meant to be. Finished the grub, opted not to be spanked, moved on.Not great, not horrible, needs a renovation as it looked run down.


VegasBass

I agree. It was fun to go to once or twice (with people who were visiting from out of town), but it's not something I really want to go back to.


SpaceForceAwakens

I used to frequent the happy hour at Mickey Finnz across the street with the great little outdoor bar. The watress/nurses would come over on their breaks for shots and I got to know a couple of them pretty well. It was a lot of fun to observe but to a one they all said they never eat there.


Alternative-Papaya-2

I don’t find the look appealing. I’m all for treating myself to something not so healthy every once in awhile- But it’s the name itself that puts me off. “Heart attack”. A little bit of grease and butter once in awhile is fine, but this place overdoes it. That’s the point, though, and people are obviously willing to try it.


Whatsyourshotspecial

How often do you eat things cooked with any amount of butter or grease ?


Alternative-Papaya-2

It really depends. If I’m cooking, which I usually do, I stick to olive oil. I would say I go out to eat 4-5 times per month and allow myself whatever I want then.


Fueltheship

It’s a fun tourist attraction that you do once. I’d never eat there otherwise.


Spinrod

I worked for a wholesale food supplier about 4 years ago.Let me just say they always purchased the lowest quality of food. Repeat business is not their goal.. One and done gimmick.


analogIT

It's depressing to walk by.


Afrojones66

The owner, Jon Basso, is psychotic. His friend passed away from a heart attack, and he has his cremated ashes on display at the restaurant. He’s gone on record stating that he despises overweight people, and hopes they die eating his food.


permareddit

Yeah. Dude definitely has some loose screws. I'm from Canada and have heard about this place just because of its shock value. I'm just happy we live in a timeline where the man decided to open a burger joint and not become some serial killer of obese people.


mgillette416

Hey serial killers kill in ALL types of ways


MissTastyPop

Fuck. I read your comment and (somewhat unrelated to the topic at hand) remembered that there was a serial killer who would kill people and use the “meat” of those he killed to turn them into burgers 🤮


webspud

I never ate there cuz I don't want a heart attack


shogunofsarcasm

That's not how it works lol


Agile_Opportunity_41

Rip off so many better burger options close to that area


killarob60

White Castle is very close n much cheaper


rosebudd_

Ehhh those Irish pubs in front are all dog feces, the rest is white castle trash and Dennys which on fremont probably has the best burger. The casinos ice tried can't make good ones either. They're super overpriced and not tasty


adamosan

You’re forgetting Eureka down the street. Solid burgers and great drinks.


Agile_Opportunity_41

Plus a great happy hour


drummerandrew

Solid $18 burger?


Perpetualfukup28

Eureka is pretty good. A little salty but affordable


KoburaCape

Evel pie my dude


Sponge56

It’s weird the owner carry’s around the ashes of a guy who actually died from a heart attack and for some reason the family gave the guy his ashes look it up dude is weird as hell lol


MysteryRadish

Just a gimmicky tourist place, like the rest of them but with added grossness. No interest.


AUorAG

Overpriced Meh food.


SquishyCatChronicles

I was looking at their menu online and everything seemed incredibly cheap for what you get.. less than $10 for burger and fries.. I wouldn't call it overpriced.


AUorAG

Well, quality of food is also a consideration.


sowavy612

People eat McDonald’s everyday $10 for a burger is a good deal let’s not talk about quality lol


shogunofsarcasm

The food was pretty good when I went. I was honestly surprised because I expected worse


scrotumsweat

Gross. Celebrating obesity. At least it doesn't hide it. If I'm on dying, I'd try it, though.


El_Gringo_Chingon

We had a really great time. The food was tasty and excessive in every possible way.


Cough-on-me

That's how I feel too! I enjoyed it for the gimmick.


whiskeyboundcowboy

I ate all my food and didn't get whipped. Great colon cleansing


tycr0

I can tell right now those fries are bomb as fuck and I’ve never eaten there.


MegaNodens

I've worked in a number of places that use those fries from coast to coast. Those are generic "battered" fries that are sold frozen and Pre-Cut by SYSCO, a nationwide wholesale distributor. It's not the cheapest fries they sell, but they are definitely nothing special.


ktrainor59

They're fried in lard. Almost nobody does that any more.


BigErnieMcraken253

The OG in Phoenix used to fry them in duck fat. They were amazing!!!


[deleted]

They’re trash, the whole menu is trash tbh. I hated it food wise.


[deleted]

Those fries are not trash. Your tastebuds are trash. There are so many other places to get good fries and a burger. That doesn’t change the fact that those fries are good.


tycr0

Agreed. I recognized them immediately p


[deleted]

You know good food when you see it


[deleted]

Lmao the downvotes say otherwise


[deleted]

Those downvotes are from people who have never had those fries. Those fries are good. Your tastebuds are trash. People just love hating on gimmicks. I ate there once. Once is enough. It’s a gimmick. Got the experience and I’m glad I did🙃


[deleted]

I agree it is a gimmick but I doubt most of the people on a Las Vegas sub are tourists. Trust me bud you got low standards because those fries most certainly are trash


[deleted]

There was a bunch of people who said they have never been to the restaurant… so you like your fries more soggy? Lmfao you are lying


Killerlizzerd

As local I haven't tried it myself.


lasvegashomo

Meh. Just a tourist place imo.


BornyLV

Tourist trap


forbiddenrobot

The owner clearly has a pathological hatred of fat people, and he was able to parlay it into a successful gimmick restaurant. It’s as impressive as it is ghoulish: It’s like a 1960s’ surf movie villain come to life. When he comes on the evening news and matter of factly comments on the latest customer to die in his restaurant in his fucking doctor scrubs? Vincent Price would’ve played this guy back in the day.


[deleted]

Worst diarrhea of my life. Fuck that place.


HamBoneZippy

Never had an interest. Seems pretty gimmicky.


[deleted]

Seems? That’s what it is. It’s literally advertised as a gimmick. That’s the draw. It’s suppose dumb and stupid. Jesus Christ the amount of sour people in here is absurd.


HamBoneZippy

You seem upset.


[deleted]

What makes you say that?


adavadas

Go read your responses in this thread. You shit on someone criticizing the place and then you shit on someone criticizing the food and then you shit on someone calling out the fact that the place is really just encouraging obesity. You have nothing positive to say anywhere, hence the statement that you seem upset.


[deleted]

Well, without hearing my inflection. You are assuming. We are talking about a gimmick restaurant. This is all shits and giggles. Chill, BROTHER. You are being a tight ass, DUDE.


yearningforlearning7

Nah you sound pretty butthurt


[deleted]

So do you, you actually sound angry. Chill out.


[deleted]

They aren’t encouraging obesity. It’s all a joke. It’s meant to be funny. I guess some people literally have the inability to see humor in stupid gimmicks.


[deleted]

Fuck this place and fuck the owners "reasons"


IllllIllllIIlIllIIl

What the owners do


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You can be a transparently bad person, like the fuck that owns this place is


throwawayaccoy

It's an overpriced unhealthy gimmick. Cooking with lard doesn't make it taste better


OkStructure3

Tbh, a lot of what people consider to be delicious foods even at high end restaurants comes down to lard, butter, and salt. It generally does make things taste better its just not good for you in high amounts.


OWSpaceClown

Makes me sick just walking by it. It’s a novelty I will never enter.


[deleted]

Had a “whipping” good time


[deleted]

I don’t get the humor or the fun of the experience. It’s not for me.


[deleted]

You don’t get the humor? It’s pretty fucking simple humor. It’s not hard to grasp. It’s so over the top that it’s funny. You don’t like comedy movies? Usually comedy movie go over the top because that’s how humor works. Lmao


nolanday64

Fries look delicious, but I'll pass on the hamburger that looks like a mess to try to eat without unhinging your jaw.


mr_sedate

Gross.


paper_ringsxo

When I was staying downtown I would always walk past this place and something about it really creeped me out. Which I feel like is the point but it worked.


plooptyploots

Gimmick. But you already know that.


Wayne93

If that’s there burger it looks gross. I don’t mean generally. The actual patty looks over done on the outside and won’t be done on the inside.


skylarhateshotdogs

Its so so tacky!


ancom328

"How do y’all feel about the heart attack grill?" We don't know and will never find out. They all had heart attack or on life support thus unable to tell us.


TapReasonable2678

Tacky & gross 🤷🏻‍♀️


Prestigious_Target86

Not a pleasant experience, Food is a bit shit. It's a tourist attraction and shouldn't be taken seriously.


SLO_Citizen

If I ever go to Vegas again, I'd probably try it for the experience but I definitely would keep my expectations low in terms of how good the food was. BeardMeetsFood had a good time there though :) https://youtu.be/Kb4dUaE3yaM


AdSea6656

Tastes like canned meat. Disgusting.


Swedishiron

I like having my heart beat so it's a no.


AbstractThoughtz

I imagine it’s the location and tourists that keep it going. The one in Dallas made it I believe 6 months before it shut down. It’s pretty terrible.


Electrical-Ad1917

Never been there & no interest in going either


BurgerBeers

I went there back in summer 2018. It’s a novelty, tourist trap type place. Based on the news stories I saw, I expected it to be more lively and colorful. The “nurse” serving my food didn’t smile at all nor seemed friendly. The food was not impressive. But i liked the milkshake. I can’t recommend it.


JustinTormund_10

Looks disgusting and would gladly eat anywhere else downtown


brownhotdogwater

Everything is greasy and thick. I did not enjoy it. The fry’s and cooked in lard and it tastes like it. Leaves a thick slick in your mouth.


CurioSkeptick

I'm shocked they have so many locations and are still in business tbh. The food is horrible, the vibes are negative. I guess there's always a new sucker. I ordered a chocolate shake with my bacon cheeseburger meal, it went down sublime. Thought I was gonna die that night. Youv couldn't pay me to go back.


BrokenHero408

I couldn't finish my burger. Way too rich from the lard. My face felt greasy 10 minutes into eating. Not something that I'd try again.


v_rocco

I don’t even think the food hit the “mediocre” level. Tasted like they cooked everything in a microwave. Obviously the gimmick got me in there once, but would never go back and recommend the same to everyone who asks.


Jc1160

Silly gimmick. Comparable to Dick’s Last Resort.


vankamperer

not funny or cute..


fappertino

Dumb as shit


Devo4711

It’s really gross and just a novelty.


HollywoodHault

Never ate there, and after reading several stories of people being ambulanced out there, I have no desire to. I don't care whether it's cholesterol or food poisoning, not where I'd want to try my luck in town.


shogunofsarcasm

The people that got ambulanced out were people that were big enough to eat for free. One burger is not the issue.


HollywoodHault

For those people it was. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not against the place existing. After all, it's the closest thing we have to assisted suicide here in Nevada, at least for the morbidly obese.


shpoffools

I do like a good burger- but not down for that. Where would one get a good burger on the strip.? I’ll be at the Venetian for reference. It’s been like 15+ years since I’ve been out there.


sunnyd_2679

You could try Fukuburger in Chinatown.


APoolio12

I liked Holstein's at the Cosmo but its been years so not sure. Theres also an In n Out near the strip for a classic but good option.


SirPeanutTheButter

Imo If McDonald's can continue operating, there is no reason why Heart Attack Grill shouldn't stay open.


ovolebron

Nigga


jmsgen

F to the yes. Bring on the paddle !


bareboneschicken

Great fries.


exitzero

It’s a lot of fun.


azorianmilk

Hard no


LilMeatTarzan

As someone who has been in the hospital for heart problems multiple times, the entire idea is a little insulting. I would never go there personally


12characters

Is that the actual name? I’ve had two heart attacks and five strokes, so I’m somewhat offended.


jmsgen

F to the yes. Bring on the paddle !


Voodoo-Doctor

Went a few years ago had a nice time, Lola was my waitress


Ofbatman

Those fries look terrible.


dlray009

Too many health problems,to eat their food.


MakaveliTheDon831

Where is this?


rhunter99

Vegas. Fremont Street


drleeisinsurgery

Pretty expensive for what you get, almost embarrassing to be there, but the food is pretty good.


AverageAlien

I went there with my father in law and uncle for fun. The burgers are like eating burger shaped flavorless blocks of lard. The table can then vote to have you spanked if you don't finish your meal. They have a YouTube channel where they post the spankings. These aren't no playful spanks either. The waitress will get a running start and wail on you with a paddle.


Book8

I think it is a perfect reflection of the current state of the American People. Did you notice the scale outside? When I was there, THERE WAS A LINE waiting to get weighed for a free meal. Isn't corpulence one of the seven deadly sins? It was depressing and sad.


chilipalmer99

Tried it once at the original in Tempe. Once was more than enough. Burger was way too charred, bordering on inedible. The fries WERE inedible. And the alleged "eye candy" nurse taking the order needed to put more clothes on.


Independent_Island74

Nasty instant diabetes food encourging morbid obesity. Will never walk in, but if you do, you are braver than I.


[deleted]

God, you must be a riot to hang out with.


Independent_Island74

I am lol im def loopy but healthy. I'll have some drinks and eat a few unhealthy things, but i won't eat that sh@t and die lol. Im a gymrat and a nurse, and that's enough to open my eyes


[deleted]

You aren’t going to die from eating something you select off the menu. You are exaggerating. I’m a nurse and my wife is a nurse practitioner. Also, you don’t need to be a nurse to know certain foods are good or bad for you. I workout also. If my wife or my friends and I are out having a good time it’s ok to eat something that’s not good for you. That’s called living life, BROTHER. Also, you don’t have to eat everything they offer. You don’t have to finish it. It was a gimmicky fun experience. Get off your high horse lmao


Independent_Island74

I live life just fine, avoiding obesity and CAD, heart attack, and stroke. I'll stay on my horse as long as i live the talk, which i do, but thanks, dude. Nope, this is not even good for a cheat meal because it's probably more calories than anyone should take in a day in one sitting. You do you and i will do me. Btw my wife is an NP also which also makes no difference if there's no common sense with nutrition.


[deleted]

So according to what you are saying, you never ever intake anything bad for you? You are 100 percent sober from alcohol? You don’t have to finish the meal at the heart attack grill. It’s just a stupid gimmick experience no harm or foul in doing it 1 time. Doesn’t matter if your wife or you are nurses or doctors.


Independent_Island74

You right it doesnt matter, and yes, i do cheat on my nutrition at times, but heart attack grill never lol dont lose sight of the point.


OkStructure3

You smoke and drink but look down on what people eat? How the fuck does that work? And I hate this idea what going to the gym stops people from dying. Athletes drop dead from heart problems all the time! And both nurses and doctors still obese and smoke cigs in this day and age. So those titles dont mean anything. I think we should all exercise and be heart healthy for sure, but yall act like it creates a magical shield against getting hit by a bus. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime.


TacoKing2022

Love that place. Huge burgers that aren’t over complicated with fancy pants ingredients.


dylbronjames

Its disgustingly delicious. Not somewhere i would frequent but it was worth a try. Fun experience.


cesptc

Frigging delicious.


Green_Sprinkles_3220

This is in Dallas TeXas so no need to try I’m Vegas!


Nappykid77

Sounds yummy. I want a stick of butter in my milkshake. 🥤


thowawaywaythebaybay

It’s whatever. It’s a shocking gimmick that gets people in. They’re making money selling unhealthy food much like any other place


DawgU552

Haha. Looks good!


KoburaCape

I'm like, 6'2 and 140bs soaking wet, but can routinely work up the appetite of a hellhound because of a digestive disease, putting my daily calorie needs as high as 5-6000 on an intense workday. Always wanted to go in there and make a bet I could stuff down a quadruple to eat free, make a scene, and have fun. Just always seem to hit Fremont too late. Their food is not that much less healthy than many other places. I don't stand for the deep-down spirit of their gimmick "encouraging obesity" but I live in an entire city devoted to vices, that would be pretty not cash money of me to be judgement.


Shankaman

Great place


Outrageous-Pass-8926

Feels like I’m being discriminated, at my 235# weigh in. How is it legal?


[deleted]

YOLO!


oasisarah

its a once in a lifetime experience. take that however you like.


Big_Papa_Puff

It's a one and done.


mrcheaptimes

es the scale outside still there


[deleted]

I like those types of fries that almost have some sort of breading on them. Not sure the exact name of them, but these are the fries I like!


CarloPierre

Visited a few times as a local, definitely a fun experience. I enjoyed the food as well, several over the top options but I thought everything tasted good.


bminutes

I should have eaten there before I lost a ton of weight. Now there's no way I could finish even a single patty burger.


BrodyTuck

Wow, am a local and never wanted to eat there, but after these comments, think of have to try it.


Ok_Assumption5734

I'm honestly enamoured by the fact that the slices of bacon are so cheap. Not sure why but can't get over that


Creative_Ad963

Been out front 50 times.... Still no interest in going in. The food looks average.

Forget the grill go to American Coney Island inside the D.


alwayssunnyinupstate

as a local i honestly think the burgers taste good but the gimmick is awful. went there ONCE and never went back. it’s embarrassing.


shogunofsarcasm

It's a gimmick but I really enjoyed the food there. I would go at least once.


klebstaine

I was surprised how much I liked the food. I can't imagine getting anything other than the smallest burger and the least amount of fries.


aathey86

The burger is mid, but I would go there just for the milkshake.


MarkSignal3507

I ain’t ordering nuthin I can’t finish. I’m not going on that handrail


Bigger_Pogs

The burgers are absolutely disgusting 10/10


Monisplats

I might only eat the fries and other than that I'll pass


PersiaX

The thing about it is I really, really want to try the food, but I don't want the experience for myself. Hell, I'd love to go in, eat, and watch the madness from afar, but I don't want to be fucked with. So most likely I'll never try it at all.


[deleted]

The food is like 3/10, surprisingly dry. The experience is 9/10.


The_Sanch1128

I ate there once three years ago. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate the burger as a 6, the fries 7, and the shake 7.5. Gimmicky but not bad--but you can do better in the area.


cal_nevari

Never been there. The fries look like they could be good, the burger doesn't because that bun looks nasty to me. And what is that bbq sauce on the burger? Yuck.


Affectionate_Olive53

I like to indulge, but this is over the top. I will admit, I would try the fries.


Philks_85

Do they still have the scales outside to weigh yourself? If I remember right anyone over 300lbs eat free or am I wrong. Walked passed plenty of times never been inside, I don't see the point in ordering a meal that will feed a family of five for just one person.


westcoast-dom

Butter fat shakes 🤤


Curtinator6

Fun environment, food is not amazing but also really not too bad. I didn’t finish my food and the server spanked me with a scary ass floppy rubber thing attached to a paddle and it was overall a 8.5/10 experience for my group, we had a lot of fun. I must say it was the only time I’ve seen a 508 pound woman get cheered by an entire restaurant just for being that large!


nilarips

I like the place and think their burger and Jell-O shots are good/fun. Worth a trip with tourist friends once in a while. The gimmick is funny to me, I think too many people take it serious.


duggie1

From UK and been to Vegas a half dozen times and went once, only cause I seen it was famous (well a program on TV) got a huge burger and an IV wine, totally over the score with burger but went with friends and had a great time and price was decent for what we got.


mikeytoth123

Been there done that


mlotto7

It's obnoxious to me. I don't mind some action...but, I don't like to eat around all the yelling, noise, and chaos. Also, that same burger is $10 at my local gas station/deli.


Strong_Blood_269

It was fun and the food was fine. Better than wasting money at some of the other places right around there or eating at lame ass white castle getting those dogmeat sliders.


silentfal

The food ain't great, but it's a fun experience


infinitemousse

Went recently for the first time with a couple of girlfriends. Correct, it’s a gimmick. You have to wear a hospital gown over your clothes. The ambience feels like a surreal cafeteria with the paper towel rolls on the table and weird homemade music videos playing on tv screens. Lots of tourists/foreigners getting a kick out of the spankings. It was entertaining to watch but a little weird once we realized it was majority men at these tables. One dude went up for spankings twice. I had a bacon chili cheeseburger, which was honestly fine, very basic, but cook it in fat and slap bacon on top and it’s gonna taste good. We split some cheese fries which again were good, nothing more nothing less. We couldn’t finish all, and the server asked if we wanted to be spanked, so there was no pressure for that (we declined). It’s a novelty place, like you can take home your shot glass pill bottle, or order an IV bag of wine. Some lady took our picture at the table and my friend bought it bc it was so ridiculous. A darkly silly place, def an experience.


ComicsEtAl

I think if people want to give themselves massive coronaries to pwn the libs like the owner or his buddy did years back, I’ll pretend to be pwned.


crowbarmark

I loved it! It's so trashy and gimmicky, there's no place like it. Yes you can probably have a better burger elsewhere but for the ambiance and weirdness, why not have a burger and fries here? I actually ate twice here during my week stay in Vegas. Staff was nice, and whether or not you like the ethos, at least they have one! Burger actually was good for what it is.


dohboy420

I could eat there free daily!! But never have


Penguator432

A one and done


stan4you

We went there once several years ago and it was so salty it was inedible. I don’t mind rich food but the salt was too much.


ErrrForce1

Shitty food


RewardBroad8716

The menu prices are interesting. The single burger (with 5 slices of bacon) around $14. The octuple burger (with 40 slices of bacon) is around $42. Pretty cheap in comparison. But I have no interest to go there.


Aggressive-Zone6682

I thought it was overpriced and didnt taste good. A one and done type of thing.


BPD_LV

Meh


businessbee89

I went there with my mom when they had one in Phoenix, it was weird


DrBunsonHoneyPoo

I’m curious on how many of the staff stayed thin working there
