When we arrived at Bally’s in Atlantic City we were hungry. Guy Fieri’s Chophouse offered a three-course menu for $39, which seemed like a great deal, so we headed to the 6th floor for dinner.
We chose a high-top table in the bar area and Skywalker quickly greeted us. Apparently, Guy Fieri is really into nicknames so the employees may use one on their name tag. Our server was helpful with suggestions about the menu. I ordered the Cadillac Margarita which was potent and very tasty. A boxed liquor bottle in the center of the bar intrigued us. After asking about it, we found out that it was a tequila by Guillermo del Toro. At $35 a shot, we decided that we would just enjoy looking at the beautiful bottle.
As good as the special menu looked, we opted for burgers. We started with Triple T Fries. The wide, flat cut of the fries was unique as if done with a spiralizer. The fries, tossed in black truffle and truffled cheese and served with a white truffle aioli were simply amazing and enough for the three of us to share.
Kevin and I each had the Bacon Mac ‘N Cheese Burger. The toppings on the giant burger include a six-cheese mac ‘n cheese, applewood bacon, crispy onions, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and donkey sauce (a mayonnaise Worcestershire sauce). The burger comes with fries, which I was unable to eat because I was full. The burger was a beautiful medium rare and the toppings created a fantastic rich savory flavor.
Chris went with the Black and Blue Burger, a blackened burger with blue cheese, applewood bacon, crispy onions, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and donkey sauce. As with our burgers, the flavor combination on the Black and Blue was spot on.
After my disappointment with Johnny Rockets on our last visit to Atlantic City, I was nicely surprised at how much I enjoyed this meal. I have a new-found respect for Guy Fieri.
Cost for two cocktails, an appetizer and three burgers around $110.
