I have passed by here so many times in Cross Irons and i finally decided to try it last week. Although it is kind of pricey for a burger, everything is made to order and fresh (100% beef patties) and you have an awesome selection of gourmet toppings. My bf and I got a regular hamburger for $5.45 and a combo with a drink and fries for $9.00. They also have a choice of veggie burger and grilled chicken. Addition of cheese (choice of goat cheese, blue cheese, swiss, cheddar or pepper jack) and bacon is $1.00. It was also nice to see homemade milkshakes (about $4 -$5) and onion rings on the menu.
After ordering your burger, an assembly line of workers added whatever toppings you want with a choice of whole wheat or white bun. There are several varieties of ketchup (spicy or regular), mustard (Dijon, Dijon horseradish or regular), mayonnaise (garlic, wasabi or curry) and relish (gourmet, hot pepper, sweet or mango chutney), and the usual veggies of pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, hot peppers, onions and guacamole.
The hamburgers were about twice the size of A&W hamburgers and fairly decent; super fresh, but was slightly disappointed in how it was a tad dry.
It can get quite busy here, but the service is fair. Cashier rang us up quickly and you're looking at about 10-15 minute wait depending on how many people are in front of you. The decor is reminiscent of a modern New York eatery with orange, black, white accents (then again it is derived from New York Fries). Kind of your upscale fast food joint with flare.
Overall, if you're hankering for a burger while shopping and willing to spend a couple extra bucks, come here for a nice home made burger instead of the ones at fast food chains. Definitely worth a try but it's not on my high priority list of burger joints to eat at.
