Jeremy’s Hamburger Hut Review
Jeremy's Hamburger Hut was one of the most mixed experiences I think I have ever had inside of a casual dining establishment. I cannot accurately describe how I feel about the establishment other than giving it a 6.56/10.
The building is a one story commercial property inside of a partly busy shopping center. The facade is green and grey with a black trim, just like it's neighbors. The translucent green marquee hangs above the entrance, enveloping the front with a comfortable, cool shadow. Entering the establishment, I'm hit with a wave of cold air from the giant A/C unit installed on the ceiling above the door frame- being Nevada, a hot and dry desert, this is a pleasant addition to the initial impression of the place. There are people sitting in round, glossy-black tables to my right and left as I walk from the entrance to the bar-like counter on the left wall of the restaurant. Waiting my turn in line, I read the menu carefully and form my order in my mind, preparing to make a polite and speedy order to the cashier behind the counter. It's my turn. "Can I get you anything?" she said to me. "Yes, I'll have the Philly Cheese Steak with extra Swiss and onions, with some of Jeremy's Special Boston Tahini in a little cup for dipping," I responded back. I swiped my card and she handed my my receipt; My number was at the top of the receipt, #589 it read. Taking my stuff to one of the tables in the back, I begin to browse my phone as I wait for my sandwich. About 5 mins pass and then suddenly, this short (probably 5'2"?) man wearing a white "Kiss the Chef" apron walks up to me. "Hey are you the guy who ordered the philly?" "Yeah I am. Is there an issue with my order?" "Uh wait hold on one moment." He turns around and begins whispering into the earpeice I failed to notice until that point. "No Chad I am not going to pick this one." He turned back around to me. "Sorry about that one of my employees is yakin' my ear off." He looked down for a moment and then looked back up at me. "There's an issue with the meat. We need to replace the steak and we aren't getting another shipment until tomorrow. Is there any chance you could switch the meat to our Brand New Jeremy's Signature Meat? It's a veggie-based meat but its the closest thing to steak we have at the moment." I was a little confused, but I said 'sure' anyways since I would rather eat my sandwich then not eat my sandwich.He looked behind his shoulder at the Employees Only door and said "Great! It'll be right out to you in a moment." He rushed into the Employees Only door and closed it behind him. For a moment I thought i heard a grinding noise and a scream, but it was probably just an old meat grinder. He came back out to me with the wrapped Philly in hand and mumbled something about not putting me "in the meat grinder"[sic] and walked away. I was a little freaked out so I left the building and went to go eat the sandwich in my car. When I got to my car, I put the keys in the ignition, started the car, and locked the doors. Now idling in this Nevada parking lot, I unwrap my freshly purchased Philly Cheese Steak and I begin to eat. It’s delectable melty Swiss cheese pairs so eloquently with the caramelized onions and faux-meat. I believe it’s the best Philly cheese steak I ever had in my life. About halfway through my consumption of the Philly, a now deranged and filthy (but still apron’d) store manager charges towards my car holding an unidentifiable small black object in his hand. In a panic, I quickly back my car up and drive as fast as possible out of the shopping center. On the way out of the lot the tahini spilled out of the bag and onto the floor of the car so I never got a chance to try it. Overall the food was amazing but due to the issues I have with the management, I will not be returning. 6.56/10
