BLT does not stand for Bacon Lettuce and Tomato in this case but Bistro Laurent Tourondel. Laurent Tourondel is the name of the chef who lauched the whole BLT restaurant group. BLT Burger is actually located only in NY, Las Vegas and Hong Kong. Personally I thought the server came too early to ask for our orders. Or maybe it was because me and my friend hadn’t seen each other for so long we talked a lot and the menu’s not complicated people might typically take a little faster to decide what t
Personally I thought the server came too early to ask for our orders. Or maybe it was because me and my friend hadn’t seen each other for so long we talked a lot and the menu’s not complicated people might typically take a little faster to decide what they want. But when the server came I told her we needed more time. And she never came back. After me and my friend decided on what to eat, I had to catch the servers attention to come and take our order. I wasn’t especially hungry so we just shared The Combo #1 Classic Burger, Soda and Fries. We added $25 for a milkshake (Mocha Mudslide) which was originally $68. Added $8 for Cheese (American Cheese). and had the choice of skinny fries, fat fries or waffle fries and I chose waffle fries.
If you’re from San Francisco this place might remind you of Burger Bar where Macy’s at. It’s already quite expensive but they give you the option of adding more and so your bill ends up more than you think. And most people like their burger with cheese and if you’re already willing to pay so much to eat a burger there $8 is nothing to add for a slice of cheese. I guess it’s a smart business tactic.
The restaurant was like a modern designed American diner. The restaurant was very well designed, but on the tables you’ve got your typical 2 plastic squeezy bottles of ketchup and mustard, the metal paper napkin box and your utensils all wrapped up next to you. Kind of dark though..
Service could improve. They didn’t give us wet paper towels until the end and it wasn’t a individual thing as if though they were waiting on each table to nearly finish but at a certain time they just gave everyone wet paper towels. I mean I understand we came to eat a little earlier than most people because by the time we left it was almost full capacity. But they could’ve given us the wet towels earlier. And they did not know how to present a bill. I asked for the bill and they gave it to me and went away and didn’t come back for it. I had to wave someone down again and checked our cash on spot picking up the $200 and then took it to the cashier and came back with our change. That was.. mehh..
Was the food good? Sure. Portion was decent, restaurants always give more than enough fries and the fries were good. I didn’t plan on writing a review for the place so I didn’t take any pictures. The milkshake was pretty good too. Was the entire meal worth $177? No. And I shared this. If we didn’t share times that by 2. Even more not worth it. But we wouldn’t have been able to finish our meals if we had a combo each with a milkshake. AND again I don’t know if it’s just me but the burger bun was not toasted and usually I expect them to be toasted until they’re warm.
I feel like I’m writing a really bad review about this place. But if I had to rate this restaurant it’d just be your average 3/5. Nothing stood out about it. Nothing stood out about the burgers, or the burger patties. And they proudly say they're USDA prime which is probably why they think they can charge so much. The reason I’m not praising this place is because for such a high price nothing stood out about it to make it worth so much.
But if you can afford it. There’s no harm to trying it. You’ll probably find it really good. Here’s the menu http://www.bltburger.com/PDF/eatin-hong-kong.pdf
