The burger is called the "Awful, Awful." A huge hamburger with a huge
pile of fries. The Awful, Awful would be a good name for the little
casino this greasy spoon is in. The place hasn't been remodeled since
maybe 1936.The restaurant is in the back and is no bigger than a hotel room.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, 24 hours a day. Go to the cash register and
order then grab a seat, if you can find one. There ain't many.The name escapes me too. But if you go out the Virginia Street side
of Harrah's you will see it sitting across the street.It's a greasy spoon's greasy spoon. But they do a hell of a
business.
FWIW, in the last year or two, they've ripped out a bunch of their slot
machines and have put tables out in the casino to help out with the
congestion in the diner. Apparently being spot-lighted on Dave Attell's
"Insommniac" put them over the top and they cleaned up their act a bit,
raised their prices, and expanded.
But they're still one of the best greasy spoons around.
