Are you looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Las Vegas that’s sure to leave a lasting impression? Look no further than the Heart Attack Grill! This hospital-themed restaurant in the heart of downtown Las Vegas serves up massive burgers, hot dogs, and fries with an unapologetically unhealthy twist.
What to Expect at the Heart Attack Grill
When you step into the Heart Attack Grill, you become a “patient” and are given a hospital gown to wear. “Nurses” take your order and serve your food, and if you fail to finish your meal, you may be subjected to a public spanking with a paddle!
The restaurant’s owner, Jon Basso (aka the “Chief Surgeon”), is outspoken about the unhealthy nature of the food served here. In fact, he’s described it as “nutritional pornography.” The Heart Attack Grill revels in its reputation for serving up artery-clogging meals in a medically-themed atmosphere.
Some key facts about the Heart Attack Grill:
- Opened in Las Vegas in October 2011
- Previously had locations in Tempe, AZ and Dallas, TX
- Basso was a former Jenny Craig franchisee before opening the Heart Attack Grill
- Several patrons and spokespeople have suffered health issues or passed away, allegedly due to the unhealthy food
