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

Don P says:
Only in Vegas?
Dave D says:
Not exactly! The original was in Arizona and the Vegas location came later.
Joe Z says:
But, only in Vagas, now. Arizona is gone!
Michael H says:
Actually, the very first HAG was on the corner of 44th and Thomas in Phoenix, and yes I ate there. Chandler store opened after the short lived Thomas restaurant.
dan t says:

Wilfred Tritscher says:
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!
Jesus says:
Gluttony is a sin you know 😉
Arnold's Dong says:
so is impersonating Jesus lol
Wilfred Tritscher says:
Can you open a branch here in Melbourne Australia?
D.J. Springer says:
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!!! 💔 🍔 💔
Richard says:
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.
Anthony Castos says:
Why?? You gave no explanation as to why. I wouldn’t do anything based on your comment. In fact, they should have Heart Attack Grills throughout our nation as well as internationally.
Terry Ulrich says:
stupid question !!!! Do you have veggie burgers ???? thanks
Bob & Jenn says:
My favorite question of the day! 🙂 No, sorry there is nothing vegan or vegetarian on the Heart Attack Grill menu including no veggie burgers.
Charlie says:
I really appreciate how you answer these questions so kindly
Matthew Grady says:
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.)
SweetSmiles says:
Can you take leftovers home????
Bob & Jenn says:
Sure, just like any other restaurant.
Pamela says:
You can, but you’ll be publicly spanked by one of the scantily clad waitresses.
Peter Curty says:
… but why they are punishing you, if you dont waste the burger by take away ?
Michael Murphy says:
When will you be serving Beyond Meat burgers ?
Bob & Jenn says:
They will probably never serve vegan burgers 😉
Diana says:
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.
jupiter says:
Very specific argument there. “Modified chemicals”
Mel says:
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.
John Richeson says:
I got to come to Vegas now! Missed out on the Arizona one.
Lisa says:
It states “not kid friendly”, what about for my 16 year old?
Bob & Jenn says:
Yes, heart attack grill is fun for older teenagers – just maybe not kids 5-12
Pirate says:
16 year olds are not kids.
Rob says:
Use your judgement. You’ve been a parent for atleast 16 years.
Someone says:
Has anyone tried to eat for free by wearing weighted clothing?
adam says:
this is so stupid place needs to be illegal and close!!!!!
Dorvell says:
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.
David Roughton says:
It’s bad enough that governments tell us what we can & cannot do. I will NEVER kowtow to a regime that tells me what I can EAT!
Liam says:
EXACTLY!
Jessica says:
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.
Bob & Jenn says:
No, sorry – nothing close to healthy or GF at the Heart Attack Grill.
Andrew C says:
Healthy =/= GF It’s 2023, how do people still have this misconception?
Carlee says:
Healthy and gluten-free certainly aren’t the same thing. Still, it’s no secret that restaurants that have healthier items on the menu more frequently offer a gluten-free menu than unhealthy restaurants, like Heart Attack Grill.
Peter Curty says:
The waitress spanked me over her knee, 40 lashes…because I asked for it (after I failed the triple burger) !!
Tommy says:
I have seen this on a Paramount show called “7 Deadly Sins” and got interested in trying the burger when I come to Vegas. I just was wondering if you have Bison Burgers or is it all Beef?
Carlee says:
As far as we can tell, the menu doesn’t include a bison burger. Bison is known for being lean and healthy, so I doubt it will be added to the menu anytime soon.
Derek says:
Does Nurse Rikki still work there and does she still do her spanking challenge with the wooden paddle? Looking to go for my birthday by next year hopefully and hopefully she still works there?
Carlee says:
There’s no information online to confirm Nurse Rikki still works there, but the other nurses will still spank you with a wooden paddle if you don’t finish your meal.
Heather Lane says:
Are there alternate punishments the diners can receive … if a diner can’t be spanked due to a health reason? I have a friend … that has had a hip replaced recently. He would like to dine here, but he is concerned that a spanking would damage his hip replacement.
Carlee says:
There’s no an alternate punishment advertised, but I’m sure your friend could explain his condition and enjoy the rest of his Heart Attack dining experience. He may get off punishment free, or the wait staff may come up with a different punishment – it’s hard to say!
Laura says:
Do you have buff male nurses to spank the women patrons?
Carlee says:
There are a few male waiters who dress as doctors!
Mark says:
Do you have to order the quadruple bypass burger to get spanked or will something smaller work?
Carlee says:
Any meal will work! The nurses are happy to give out spankings to anyone who doesn’t finish their meal.
John says:
You can always order a single burger and you would be fine
sherry broughton says:
Thanks. That’s all I can handle
Andy L says:
Been a couple of years since visiting and miss it so much!! You guys should definitely open a restaurant in the UK!
chris says:
Just imagine what the do-gooders would say about opening one in the UK. I wish they would LOL.
Brandon T says:
Is there an option to get a burger without tomatoes and onion? I don’t eat any vegetables and would love to eat there.
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
Of course, you can custom order a carnivore version of any burger
Anne S. says:
Can we get a nurse dress from heart attack grills to wear during the time in the restaurant
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
I don’t think you can get a nurses outfit, but you can wear a hospital gown they provide.
