Nestled among the flashing lights and incessant chiming of slot machines at Mohegan Sun Casino, you’ll find Bobby’s Burger Palace.
It’s a high-profile establishment backed by celebrity chef Bobby Flay, a feature that brings an undeniable allure and an elevated price tag.
A trip to Bobby’s Burger Palace promises an experience, an oasis within the bustling casino environment. But does it deliver?
Burger
At the core of Bobby’s Burger Palace’s offerings is, as the name suggests, the burger. It’s the heart of any burger joint and a dish that can make or break the dining experience.
This was a straightforward cheeseburger with bacon.
Here, the burger is presented without pomp and circumstance.
It’s a burger—no frills, no fancy twists.
This burger doesn’t promise to be anything more than it is, a plain, straightforward stack of bun, patty, and toppings.
While this may work for some, those looking for a memorable burger might find it lacking that special touch.
It’s decent, edible, but not remarkable.
Perhaps a victim of high expectations set by the celebrity name backing it.
The Rating: Burger
6.5/10
Sweet Potato Fries
Moving on to the sidekick of the meal, we come across sweet potato fries.
Again, Bobby’s Burger Palace delivers exactly what it says—sweet potato fries.
They are what they are, with no additional flair.
These fries are pretty standard fare—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and carrying that unique, sweet flavor inherent to the root vegetable.
For sweet potato fry aficionados, these could be underwhelming.
They are good, yes, but they don’t stand out from the crowd.
The Rating: Sweet Potato Fries
6.5/10
While Bobby’s Burger Palace offers a solid, straightforward meal, it might not satisfy those in search of a unique culinary experience. However, if you’re strolling through the casino floor with a hankering for a simple, no-fuss burger and fries, this could be your stop. Just bear in mind the casino and celebrity chef price tags!
