| - Holy SHIT! I like a good burger, but this was a different level. Everyone in a while 5 Guys or In 'n' Out will do, but this is in a league of its own. Just like in college when you drank what was cheap but when you graduate and make real money you drink what is quality. This is you quality burger.
5 senses review:
Sight: 5- Nothing extraordinary. But you aren't going for the sights anyway.
Sound: 5- It is an open space with a bunch of people, but it isn't awfully loud.
Smell: 7- Lots of great smells.
Touch: 3- This depends (clearly) on what you order and how your burger comes.
Taste: 9- QUALITY! Meat, sauces, shakes!
If it wasn't for the great meal this rating would be lower. Only because of the damn popularity of this place. The wait would have been one hour to an hour and a half. When you have a 3 year old, that kind of wait is toooooo long. However, my wife and son went home to relax and my friend and I stayed, so we went to the bar and bypassed the wait.
I think the greatest thing here at Burgatory is the diversity. If it is your first time, please get a burger! Even then, the choices are plentiful. If you are someone trying to maintain a "healthy" style of eating, you can do that. If you want to go way off the deep end of Guinness proportion calorie intake, you can do that. Choose a burger or create your own.
I wanted an in-between experience. So I went with the topless (no top bun) grass fed Elk burger (with one of the rubs, spicy ketchup and cheese) and a Fluffer Nutter shake. The meat was amazing. Super lean, cooked perfectly and did not make me feel like I was going to fall over after eating. The shake, however did put me over the top. But it was blissful.
Service was quick!!!
The best tip is to make a reservation or sit at the bar. For as great as the food is, nothing is worth 1-1.5 hours of waiting.
