| - Burgatory is hands down my absolute favorite. For years. Like, I come here for my "family" birthday. Weird. Oddly, I have never actually had a traditional cow burger from here, but their chicken burgers are a thing of beautiful mystery. I might be getting carried away, but generally, this place is quick, customizable, and always delicious. I've never once had a bad time here. Granted half of the wait staff are disgruntled, leftover-angst-filled kids, but your server will be awesome. The place itself isn't much, but you're not here for the décor. It's casual and cool, and what's wrong with that?
You're going to want to do the "create your own" option with the little notepads in the center of the table. Cute, right? Get one of those tiny pencils and pick anything you could ever want. Personally, I do the chicken on focaccia with truffle aioli, provolone, arugula, and cucumbers, but that's just me (the pickiest one of them all!). It gets crazy messy, melty, and for once, there is no amount of (Yelp traditional) hyperbole to explain myself. Most of my dinner partners choose the typical burger or get real crazy with some buffalo or elk. How do they have buffalo? I hope that the headcount at South Park hasn't gone down. I also want to note on the truffle fries; they're greasy, smelly, and SO. GOOD. It has that awesome truffle gorgonzola aspect of "this smells like feet, and it's delicious".
Everyone wants to exclaim about the milkshakes immediately (Prantl's almond torte shake! Booze shakes!), and I know they are incredible, but don't toss your little drink menu aside. The sangria is more or less a new age hooch of different non-explicit ingredients made in house for which I am typically not brave enough. The gem is the strawberry shag. Complete with your strawberry slices and basil, this thing is excessively easy to drink. It's simple, but always a staple.
The location itself is small, and you cannot make reservations; I have to mention the NoWait app though, as sometimes you can be given up to a two and a half hour wait (I've seen it!). I know it sounds chintzy to get dinner in a strip mall, but this is still my favorite location. Original is always the best, unless you're creating a burger that is going to be better than anything you can order off any menu.
