| - The Boulevard Tavern, built back in the early 1930's, looks like one of those local neighborhood joints that no one outside the area knows about. I stopped in with eight friends last Saturday and experienced one awesome burger. Six of us tried the burgers, with one enjoying theirs so much they ordered one to go to enjoy the next day.
Most of us chose the Chipotle Burger, with six ounces of ground chuck, cheddar cheese, smoked bacon and garlic sauteed mushrooms, topped with a smokey BBQ, sauce for $7.99. It's served with fries, which were also really quite good. If you don't like Hot, get the sauce on the side. A few people did just that, and so some of the more adventurous of us dipped some fries directly into the sauce. By itself, the BBQ sauce is hot, but the spoonful they slather on the burger is just enough to compliment the beef. And the beef was so good.
The person who tried the Bouley Burger (regular cheeseburger topped with a fried egg, $6.99) said it was also good but I noticed the egg was slightly overcooked and the yoke was not runny. THE ONLY REASON TO EVER ORDER A FRIED EGG IS TO ENJOY THE RUNNY YOKE.
Everyone raved about their burgers, especially the beef, cooked perfectly. A vegetarian tried the falafal, couldn't finish it, but made sure they took what was left home, giving it a thumbs up.
The only disappointment that evening was the serious lack of customers in the place. When we left at around 8:00 there was only one table occupied, with three people, and one booth. Really folks, this place should be packed. There is a parking lot in the back, a few spots on the street, and the owner lives next door (east) so feel free to park on the grass there. I'm planning on a return trip as soon as possible.
