The Heart Attack Grill on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas is a truly unique restaurant where gluttony and obesity reign supreme. Where else can you go to eat a 9,982 calorie burger served by a buxom waitress dressed as a nurse, listen to karaoke, and wash it back with a shot of liquor served in a prescription bottle?
Only at the Heart Attack Grill.
Getting Admitted
When you walk in, you’ll be greeted by a waitress in a short nurse’s outfit ready to “admit you”. She’ll give you a hospital wristband and a gown.
She’ll take you over to the scale, where you’ll weigh in to see if you qualify to eat free. If you top the scales at 350 lbs or more, you can eat unlimited Single Bypass Burgers. No sharing!
Atmosphere
You’ll be seated at a table in what looks like a 50’s diner at first glance. As you look around, you’ll soon notice the odd sense of humor in the place.
From Lucky Strike’s and giant prescription bottles hanging from the ceiling to modified movie posters on the wall to hilarious men’s bathroom urinals.
Heart Attack Grill Menu
The menu is simple but unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. They are famous for their Bypass Burgers. You can start with a Single Bypass, and they go all the way up to Octuple Bypass Burger, which consists of eight 1/2 lb burger patties. Each burger is topped with cheese, tomato, and onions sauteed in lard, bacon, and chili!
You can accompany that heart attack on a bun with Flatliner Fries, which are deep-fried in pure lard.
They also have outrageous drinks, including their butterfat milkshake, which comes in chocolate or vanilla and is served with a pat of butter!
Wine is served in an IV drip bag…
And they serve jello shots from a giant syringe!
Guinness Book of World Record Holder
The Heart Attack Grill was even awarded the Guinness Book of World Records, “The world’s most calorific burger“, in 2013 for their Quadruple Bypass Burger, weighing in at a whopping 9,982 calories, which consists of…
4 ½ pound hamburgers, 3 tablespoons of lard, 20 slices of bacon, 8 slices of American cheese, 20 slices of caramelized onion baked in lard, 8 tomato slices, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of mustard.
If you finish the entire Quadruple Bypass Burger, you get a wheelchair ride out to your car by your nurse waitress. But, if you fail, you’ll be publicly spanked with their infamous paddle.
Deaths From the Heart Attack Grill
Their motto is “Taste worth dying for”, and you can certainly see why several patrons have had heart attacks while eating at the restaurant.
- Feb 2012 – Man dies of a heart attack while eating a Triple Bypass Burger
- April 2012 – Woman collapses while eating a Double Bypass Burger, smoking a cigarette, and drinking a margarita
- Feb 2013 – Daily customer and unofficial spokesman dies of heart attack

Crazy question. Does heart attack grill have Gluten free options? If not can you enter into Restaurant without ordering a hamburger? Would love to take Hubby (not on Gluten free diet) however I am.
No, sorry – nothing close to healthy or GF at the Heart Attack Grill.
this is so stupid place needs to be illegal and close!!!!!
Only if similar establishments like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Hardee’s etc. etc. etc. face the same fate; only difference between them and Heart Attack Grill is at least the latter is honest.
Has anyone tried to eat for free by wearing weighted clothing?
It states “not kid friendly”, what about for my 16 year old?
Yes, heart attack grill is fun for older teenagers – just maybe not kids 5-12
16 year olds are not kids.
Use your judgement. You’ve been a parent for atleast 16 years.
I got to come to Vegas now! Missed out on the Arizona one.
The food is delicious. The atmosphere while
Not “kid friendly” is certainly something the adults can enjoy. I only got the single Bypass burger but managed to eat it (no spanking 😢) They also take a photo then present you with a post card version (free) and 3 additional copies with various backgrounds. We only got 2 pictures and the post card.
When will you be serving Beyond Meat burgers ?
They will probably never serve vegan burgers 😉
Check out what is actually in the Beyond Meat Burgers. In order to get it to taste like meat, the only way they can do that is with modified chemicals.
Can you take leftovers home????
Sure, just like any other restaurant.
You can, but you’ll be publicly spanked by one of the scantily clad waitresses.
stupid question !!!! Do you have veggie burgers ????
thanks
My favorite question of the day! 🙂 No, sorry there is nothing vegan or vegetarian on the Heart Attack Grill menu including no veggie burgers.
The Heart Attack Grill will have vegan options when vegan restaurants have meat options. (Note: I’m not worried about speaking on the establishments behalf when I’m not even affiliated with said establishment because no vegan restaurant is going to serve meat.)
Do you serve burger patties only? I would love to see how many I could eat in one seating, as I do not eat veggies, grains (bread) or dairy. My dietary regime for the past 3 years consists solely of fatty beef, lamb, duck, salmon, herring, sardines and eggs, supplemented with water, black coffee, tea, salt and pepper to taste on my food. Strict Carnivoe/Zerocarb, well except for the black coffee and tea.
Btw, 4 lbs. of burger patties, likely only 3 lbs., 3-4 oz. after cooking.
Outstanding! A new addition to my Bucket List that could actually make me kick said bucket while I’m checking it off said list. Boo-yah!!! 💔 🍔 💔
Can you open a branch here in Melbourne Australia?
I admire you! Thankyou for encouraging men to be men and master of their own fate! The meat repair killjoys emasculate us men and zombiize us with their sorceries (pharmaceuticals). I’m a baby boomer and my parents knew what it was to be hungry! So I grew up with your heart attack diet, everything fried in lard! I drink like Churchill, add salt and MSG to my tucker, can’t stand diet drinks but I also like fasting because I’m a Christian. Keep up the great work! God bless!
Gluttony is a sin you know 😉
Only in Vegas?
Not exactly! The original was in Arizona and the Vegas location came later.
But, only in Vagas, now. Arizona is gone!
it was in chandler and yes i ate there
