Create

I just love their burgers! The freshness, the flavor, and the quality of beef can not be beat honestly. I have to Say outside the strip, it’s the best burger in Vegas! Thanks Create!

Insane custard. Custom burgers are cool but their specials are better value. Get the big one.
Too bad this place is closed down. Owners were cool too.

When Lance owned Create it was super amazing. Ever since it was sold, it has gone down hill fast.
My wife and I used to go to Create every Wednesday night, but now, we have stopped going at all. Our orders come out wrong every time without fail and the staff has lost their energy and drive. One time, there was a young child (probably 10 or 12 years old) at the register when I walked up. The adult behind the counter looked at them and said, «you can do it.» The child proceeded to take my order… for 10 minutes while she searched for the buttons on the screen and tried to understand my request for «roasted red pepper Italian vinaigrette» on the side. I ended up with red peppers on my burger and The Sauce on the side… not what I asked for. Meanwhile, the adult behind the counter did nothing to assist; this experience was the last straw for me.
Also, when Lance was there he always had three custards: vanilla, chocolate, and a flavor of the day. Create still acts like they have a flavor of the day, but in reality, it’s a «combination» if the day using vanilla or chocolate custard. There is no additional «flavor» like orange, banana, or peanut butter. And, when I ask the staff what is in one of the combinations, they honestly have no idea and aren’t willing to find out.
Create used to be an amazing place, but it is just not anymore.

Create is a delicious, bet quite pricey burger joint near Summerlin. My wife had been to Create several times and truly enjoyed their food. My first trip was this past Monday and while I enjoyed my burger I walked away with a bit of sticker shock.
Since I’m working on eating a little healthier these days I opted for the turkey burger. As turkey patties go this one was very flavorful and juicy. Create allows you to build your own burger with the use of a checklist of toppings that can accompany your patty. I went pretty traditional with the tomato and lettuce, but tried the bleu cheese and chipotle mayo. Both of those items made my sandwich far different than what I would have gotten from the run-​of-​the-​mill chain burger joint. I opted for the regular fries while my wife went for the sweet potato fries. Both orders of fries were quite flavorful and the sweet potato fries received a health sprinkling of cinnamon which set off the flavor real well.
I have to admit that I have a hard time swallowing a $ 20+ price tag for two burgers and fries, but as burgers go Create has a quality product with a great variety in clean, friendly surroundings. I will be back for sure and would recommend Create Burgers to friends.

I found Create through Groupon Now (you save a few dollars if you purchase the Groupon and use it that day). I had been craving a good turkey burger, and Create was a great choice. Gourmet burgers and frozen custard — it’s kind of their thing.
Upon walking in, we were greeted by a friendly employee who explained the process to us — either we can order directly off the menu, or come up with our own creation — including choice of patty, size, cheeses, toppings, sauces, etc. And they truly have a ton of options. Create also offers beef, turkey, and veggie burgers — definitely something for everyone.
My husband and I decided to create our own burger, while our friend opted to order off of the menu. Everything tasted great, including our sides which included the sweet potato and fresh cut fries.
As I love custard, we had to try some for dessert. It turns out that if you sign up to be a text club member, you receive a free custard of choice. The custard was a large portion and really good.
By the way, the two employees were extremely friendly and helpful. No complaints here!

We popped in here on our way to Rubio’s, but figured we’d give this a go.
Right away, the staff was super friendly and attentive. It was a little confusing when you walk in and I don’t always love having to be instructed on how to order, but the personality of the staff won us over.
I ordered a turkey burger on wheat with swiss and carmelized onions. My boyfriend got a beef burger with fried egg and mushrooms. Both were totally delicious. We shared the fries, which were kinda soggy here and there, but overall tasty, and really enjoyed the multitudes of sauce options for dipping. Surprisingly, my turkey burger was moist and didn’t feel like one of those pre-​fab frozen patties, like most turkey burgers you get dining out.
They did forget my boyfriend’s chocolate malt… twice. But remedied it by being REALLY apologetic and serving a large instead of the regular size we ordered. It was also a damn fine malt.
The ambience is your typical burger joint/​fast casual kind of place. The booths were a bit busted and duct taped together, which was a bit trashy, but that happens. It’s fine inside, but the whole place could just use a little zhush.
Unfortunately, there was a table full of really obnoxious people (adults, no less), laughing and yelling at the staff for more sauces and generally carrying on. More people kept coming and they started moving tables and chairs around, playing musical booth, knocking over condiments… and the staff kept accommodating them instead of asking them to tone it down, so that was a bit irksome, but likely a one-​time thing.
We’ll definitely go back, though. It’s 3 stars this time, but could go up once we’ve tried more things and maybe they fix that duct tape so it doesn’t stick to my ass. :)

I rarely come, but when I do, they do fullfill my hunger needs. What I love most here is their service. The people love talking to you, and are more than welcome to help you out, and give you direction when making your own burger. Afterall, it’s not easy to be an amazing culinary genius! You need a little help sometimes.
Everything is freshly made. I got the veggie burger. The patty is made with brown rice, tofu and beans I believe, and packed with corn starch to keep it together. It’s a VERY filling patty so I got full fast. I did choose to top it with mushroom, swiss cheese, and avocados. Yum! I also opt for the king hawaiian bread (that bread goes great with any burger!)
Awesome burgers. Can’t wait to try their custard which is also freshly made! Just a heads up though, the tab will rack up as you add more toppings. You get an option of ONE choice from every section, and some selected options are extra (like the king hawaiian bread for 15 cents).
Th staff also mentioned that a lot of body builders come here to rack up on protein because their patties also be customized to be as big as you want it to be! Yikes!

I actually really liked eating here the other night. The décor is like hippy modern, maybe even tree hugging modern, I don’t know. The burgers are super good. I would go so far as to say that they’re better than Five Guys Burgers. And its not as blindingly bright in here as it is at Five Guys. Plus the retro burger theme has been done a million times.
The custom menu is pretty extensive — both my little niece and my vegetarian gf found something they liked here. Fries? Awesome. Sweet potato Fries? Awesome. Service? Awesome. The giant chunk of meat? You better believe that was awesome. There was an older lady who very patiently explained their menu to us, we got free samples of their yogurt, I got a free soda for being a good boy and everyone had a grand old time. I didn’t leave feeling like an overstuffed grease ball.
I would actually come back here to get a burger next time I’m in town. And its next to a miniature golf place so if you have little family members or just feel like touching a glow in the dark gorilla’s butt… then this little strip mall will satisfy all your needs.

Went here for a lunch meeting at the suggestion of a colleague and despite being 5 minutes from my office, I had never noticed it since the signage seems to suggest a retail place rather than restaurant and it is buried amongst a whole string of eateries within the Lake Mead/​Tenaya intersection. Apparently the name implies an artistic flare where you craft your own burgers (and frozen custards) with a myriad of toppings and choices for size of meat (¼, 1/​3, ½ lb) and breads (white, wheat, hawaiian, and onion) and even fries (regular, sweet potato). Being given the privilege of selecting everything a la carte reminded me of assembling a bowl of stir-​fry at a mongolian barbeque, but like most mongolian barbeque experiences, the customer usually does not have a good sense of balance when it comes to flavors (typically overdoing one thing or another) so that may explain some of the mediocre reviews (to critique one’s own CREATE burger is perhaps critiquing oneself). When it comes to creating the perfect burger, I’m more inclined to think along Steve Jobs’ quote, «People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.»
Therefore I opted to choose amongst one of the 5 pre-​named titles posted above the cash register to see if the guys behind the counter really knew how to create a decent burger. The one that caught my eye was «The Surrealist» consisting of lettuce, tomato, applewood bacon, fried egg, chipotle mayo, grilled onions, and a fried onion ring. I opted for the hawaiian bread bun and cheddar as my cheese of choice and braced myself to yell «Who’s your Dali?» upon biting into this seemingly mouthwatering work of art. Unfortunately, this burger will not be worthy of persistence in my memory. This was a case where the sum of the parts was not greater than the whole since the piece of lettuce was extended about half a foot outside the bun in all directions, the fried egg was overcooked without any runny yolk (where’s the fun in that?), and not sure about the rationale of grilled onions + fried onion ring. Bright spots were the well seasoned and meaty cut of the applewood bacon, the perfectly melted cheddar cheese, and the smoky yet smooth addition of the chipotle mayo. I would probably bump this review to 3.5 stars for the sweet potato fries. Crisped to perfection with a gentle dusting of cinnamon sugar, these were a pleasant sweet foil to the savory burger and reminded me of the crunchy nearly-​burnt edges of a solid french toast.
Conceptually this sounds like it should be destined for greatness, but given the shoddy assembly of the separate components and the requirement of an artistic burger eye from the customer in building the perfect burger, one could do so at a more modest price with unlimited attempts in the comfort of his/​her own backyard picnic. However, I will be tempted to grab a burger at In-​and-​Out across the street and pop in here for those sweet potato fries in the future.

Jess P. recommended I try this place out when I met her at one of the Unilocal events. It’s pretty nearby my boyfriend’s house, but we’ve never really thought about checking it out until we heard about how great it is. I ended up going with one of my friends on a pretty hot day (perfect weather for frozen custard) and I ordered a Modest Modernist combo ($ 8.99) and Berriesoho masterpiece ($ 4.99). My total came out to about $ 14. It was more than I normally spend on this type of food for myself, but a third of the bill went to the giant frozen custard; more than enough for two people.
My combo came out fairly quick and my first impression was that the meal looked pretty boring and a little dry. I think I’m just so used to going to burger joints that have all kinds of sauces spilling out of the burger when you take your first bite (kinda like a Carl’s Jr. ad). However, when I took my first bite, it was like instant love. The reason why I chose the Modernist is because I love anything with mushrooms or avocado and this burger had BOTH along with Swiss cheese, tomato, and chipotle mayo added into the mix. The burger was just exploding with all kinds of goodness and they didn’t even need a bunch of crazy sauces to make it taste so delicious. The fries were cooked to perfection; perfectly crisp and fresh, just how I like them.
I actually ordered my frozen custard after I finished my burger because I figured it would melt if I just had it sitting there while I ate my meal, but I ended up inhaling my burger in a matter of three minutes, so that was pointless. It was weird because the frozen custard took longer to come out than the burger did and I would think it’d be the complete opposite. Since I got it «Masterpiece,» all the ingredients were just blended together. The other option would be to get it in sundae form, but I guess I was feeling «artsy.» It was my first time ever trying frozen custard, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but boy was it fantabulous! It was very smooth and not too sweet. I was pretty full from the burger already, but I’m pretty much a glutton for any type of dessert and ended up eating half of it. I put the other half in my freezer the second I got home so I could have some in case of a withdrawal.
Tips
*The Entertainment book has a few bogo coupons for Create (at least the 2011 edition did).
*Sign up for their mailing list. I don’t know if you can sign up online, but you can definitely sign up in the restaurant.
*Get a Masterpiece!
*Check out the menu online to decide what you want before going because it can be pretty overwhelming

BURGERS AND FROZEN CUSTARD — YES!
Lance, the owner, knows how to ‘create’ a great place. Really friendly, and «neighborhoody»! I’ve tried their standard beef burger (very high grade), turkey burger, and the most awesome of them all… veggie burgers! Great fries, and all… and top it off with good ol’ southern style frozen custard — and this place is a winner.

Make your own burger! Have it your way. It’s just about the fixin’s. Well that sums up this place, you can pick everything from the type of bun to the sauce, the fixin’s and even how well you want it done.
I love that you can also request «no bun» and go low carb style, my husband and I often are following low carb and this is just another option now for eating out, another of our favorite things to do!
They serve sides too like home made fries, thick and crispy and sweet potatoes fries. I think there’s a hint of cinnamon on them! And of course they have custards. You gotta try em, their delicious!
The service was great, friendly and helpful, will definitely be back.

What happened?
Maybe they got new staff because nothing about our orders were right. :-(
We always do the create a burgers and hand them a sheet with clearly circled items. None of the burgers came out right. Some were missing toppings, mine and the BF came with no sauces in it at all. Mine was to be cooked to a medium pink and it was well done with no pink at all and seemed to be the same size as my mom in laws even though I ordered a bigger burger patty. They have a new item on a dry erase board of onion strings so we put on our papers we want onion strings as our sides. 3 of us got onion RINGS instead of the onion strings. I asked for a side of a sauce to go with the strings and it wasn’t brought either. Grandma isn’t too picky and just ate her stuff, but I think hers was right only because she barely put anything on hers.
They got to making us onion strings which was nice of them to correct the problem. One batch came and it was really chunky into onion cakes. Good flavor, but nothing was string about it. A second batch came out and it was more like strings and was much better.
They were nice about everything which I still do give high kudos for, but it was a mess of a meal. It has changed since Lance sold it… eeek.

I can’t believe this place is getting such good reviews.
We had been running around found errands and were really hungry, we were close to Create and been wanting to try it for a while.
I ordered the Classical burger with french fries, my hubby ordered the Medieval burger with onion rings… we both ordered our burgers as ¼ LB. cooked medium.
The burgers were small, and not cooked medium. It reminded me of the flat frozen burgers you get at an amusement park stand. My fries were limp and greasy. The onion rings were just the big fat run of the mill rings that have no taste and were probably frozen.
We had a coupon for buy one meal get one free, I don’t know if that’s why the food was so bad, but as soon as I started taking pictures of my food, one of the workers ran over to ask us if everything was alright. We won’t go back especially since Smashburger is a block away from this location. The cheap meal because of the coupy was the only reason it was semi-​worth it.

I do enjoy a fine burger and what I like best about Create is that I can enjoy it relatively guilt free. As you can deduce from the name, you can name everything in your burger and this does allow for healthy, or not so healthy choices. I usually get the Byzantine but with a Turkey patty and and a multi-​grain bun and sometimes sweet potato fries when I feel like adding a few miles to my workout.
Aside from the fresh ingredients and knowing that your burger is being made to order, what I did like was the great and happy service. It seems that everyone working here does actually enjoy themselves and that translates to a great experience as a customer. One last thing, this is one of the few places you can get Diet Dr. Pepper in a fountain drink. I look at this place as a great lunch spot when I’m in the area and try to find an excuse to visit every couple of months.

After reading many reviews on Unilocal and driving past this joint 100’s of times, I finally decided to stop by today for lunch to check it out myself. I decided to give myself a treat after a great workout at the gym… have to give back some of the calories, right?
I had no idea how it worked and the menu in the restaurant is posted at the front door facing your back when you enter… so you see it when you exit… what the hell? Seems very illogical to me, but whatever. Because I didn’t see the menu when I walked in, I had no idea what to do… so I asked the kid at the register, how does this work? He kind of looked at me with a puzzled expression and said «You place an order and I take it»…he was kidding around and explained that there are specialty Burgers that I can choose from or I can «Create» my own. You choose ¼, 1/​3, or ½ lb patties, the bread, and the toppings.
After browsing the specialty Burgers for a minute, I decided I wanted to order two of them. I ordered a ¼ lb Dali Burger with White Bread & (Avocado, Peppers, Onions, Monterey Jack Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, & Southwestern Ranch) and a ¼ lb Impressionist Burger with Onion Bread & (Cajun Seasoning, Jalapenos, Lettuce, Tomato, Pepper Jack, & Atomic Mayo w/​side of BBQ Sauce) and a bottle of Water. He suggested that I get a side of BBQ Sauce with the Impressionist Burger… I took him up on his recommendation. Total damage ($ 11.73), for the Burgers & bottled Water. The price you see on the menu is the combo price. He issued me a number and my change and told me they would bring out the Burgers when it was ready.
The restaurant has plenty of seating and nice comfortable booths… not what I expected. They also sell Frozen Custard here… since I’m unfamiliar with what that is, I passed on trying it this visit.
After a few minutes my order was delivered by the manager. He apologized because they ran out of Guacamole and substituted it with whole Avocado on the Dali Burger… I told him that was fine. I started to take pics of the food and when he saw me, he asked if I wanted a picture with the Burger… I laughed and said yes. What a nice guy.
I jumped into the Impressionist Burger first… I couldn’t wait to try it since it was loaded with Spicy Toppings… I decided to take the first bite without the BBQ Sauce. Wow… it was Spicy! It had a very nice kick to it… not too blazing hot, but very enjoyable. I am impressed because most joints make their mild… not this one! Then I tried it with the BBQ Sauce per the cashier kid’s advice… yum! The BBQ Sauce combined with the spicy flavor of the Atomic Mayo, Jalapenos, and Pepper Jack made this burger taste really good. I wish I would have ordered a ¹⁄₃ lb patty though as the ¼ lb seemed to be too small with all of the toppings. The Beef was very flavorful, but I could have used more of it… next time I’ll get the ¹⁄₃ or ½ lb patty… my bad.
After devouring the Impressionist, I went for the Dali Burger. I loaded the Avocados into the Burger and again took a bite before I tried it with the Southwest Ranch Sauce… it was pretty good, but needed the Ranch. I poured some of the Ranch with each subsequent bite… wow, another excellent Burger! The Onion Bun added to it… another great recommendation from the cashier kid… he must eat a ton of their Burgers to figure out great combinations of stuff.
Overall, it was a good experience… fresh, flavorful ingredients and the ability to customize your Burger are the highlights of this place. The one knock would be the Bread… it was very «doughy» and just didn’t do it for me… tasted like and had the consistency of Wonder Bread. Despite that flaw, I still gave it 4 Stars.
Will I return? I want to try some of the other specialty burgers as well as up the patty size… so, yeah I will be returning soon!

I totally love to create, and Create is the best place to do it. After countless drive by’s and wonderment, I decided to pop in a few days ago and try it out for lunch. This is one of those places where it’s your fault if your burger tastes like crap because you choose your toppings. I think that’s fantastic! After all, what’s not fun about making a crazy burger and trying it out?
Since it was our first time we took a few suggestions from the dude behind the counter and went with the hawaiian bun (it’s like Hawaiian bread, sweet and yellowish), and I went for a fried egg, mushroom, roasted peppers and provolone cheese. My boyfriend went for something quite similiar. We ordered some sweet potato fries on the side and sat down with our number.
The burger itself is great. I love the texture and flavor of the meat. On top of that, their toppings are good and make it fun to eat. What I really enjoyed here was dessert – their concrete. I love custard now and will order it here whenever I crave it. Our first experience with custard was their berry concrete: vanilla custard with berries mixed in and topped with a nice heap of whipped cream. It was yummy.
Overall, great experience and definitely a joint I’ll return to often.

Absolutely a fantastic idea to pair hamburgers and frozen yogurt!
We came here on the 4^th of July weekend to fill our hamburger cravings. I like the fact you can create (as the name implies) your own hamburgers, more so the fixings than the patty itself. It’s great how they have a variety of buns, toppings and endless sauces to go on the side. The fries also come in regular or sweet potato versions. I always go with the latter.
No complaints here just good food. After eating my entire hamburger and fries, I ordered the Smithsonian Masterpiece: 4 scoops of vanilla frozen custard, chocolate syrup, caramel, nuts and whip cream. It was overkill. I could not control my need to super size everything and fat out.
My only suggestion is to limit the desert or you may be lethargic for the rest of the day!
By the way the staff is so friendly and attentive. A + for that.

What can I say? This place makes you create any burger you want, you get any toppings, sauces, cheese, and hey you even get to pick your own bun or you can even get it protein style!
The place is nice and clean. lots of parking, and the staff is friendly. So I totally recommend this place if your craving for a burger.

The service was sub par when I went. By the time I could eat my burger (they forgot an ingredient), the rest of my burger was cold!
Nonetheless, the burger tasted great when I got home and ate it.
You are able to customize your own burger via a small clipboard with options you check off. It’s about $ 10 with a drink for a decent sized burger.
They accommodated our group of 12 quite well considering that the place isn’t that big, But, customer service was affected… tremendously.
I would probably go back because I am interested in trying out the other creations, but I haven’t. I am just not that big of a fan of burgers in general.
