I dropped by Holsteins Shakes and Buns knowing that their Burgers and Shakes were awfully good.  Friends of mine have been recommending it and the pics on yelp were pretty convincing.\n\nI came in for a late lunch so they had me sit at the bar.  I'm not a big fan of sitting at the bar to eat so that instantly turned me off when they offered it to me, but the bartender was pretty helpful.\n\nBased off my friend's recommendation (Jesiree B.), I ordered the Rising Sun Burger (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=F_5_UNX-wrAFCXuAkBZRDw&select=lhrHECQNbkdIj7v8ZQEtng)- Kobe Beef, Teriyaki Glaze, Nori Furikake, Crispy Yam, Spicy Mayo, and Tempura Avocado.  The Burger was cooked really good and all the toppings worked well together.  I loved the Crispy Yams which gave the Burger a nice flavorful crunch.  I thought the Tempura Avocado was a bit much though and didn't exactly go well with the Teriyaki Glaze.  Good burger overall though, it had it's very own distinct look and taste.  And the Skinny Fries that came with it were crispy and seasoned very well.\n\nThe Black Cow Float was incredible and actually became the highlight of my meal (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=F_5_UNX-wrAFCXuAkBZRDw&select=ofIHY3pj6hV8YclDldKL-g) - Coca-Cola,  Vanilla Ice Cream, Cherry Vodka, and Chocolate Covered Pop Rocks!  It was a explosion of flavor in my mouth, literally!!  It could be because I'm a little late to the Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola party since it was the first time I've had the infamous combo.  It worked well though as an Ice Cream Float.  I actually wanted to order another one!\n\nIn an already crowded Gourmet Burger market on the Strip with Burger Bar, KGB, BLT, and Le Burger Brasserie, it's nice to see that Holsteins can easily contend well against them with their own creative spin on Burgers and Shakes.  I will definitely come back again!
