Heart Attack Grill Corporate Office

Heart Attack Grill has received numerous complaints, especially regarding the sexualization of “nurses” (waitreses).

The company had 3 locations at one time, however, after the spokesperson for the restaurant located in Chandler died at 29 years of age and 529 pounds, the restaurant was closed. The location in Dallas, Texas, also closed soon afterwards, with no explanation given. However, the one in Las Vegas is open. With 9,982 calorie burgers, and all you can eat French fries cooked in lard, the reason for the name of the restaurant is clear.

Headquarters for the Heart Attack Grill are located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
