| - This is a friendly joint with speedy, helpful staff with an eye out to make sure you're being served with care. I went with a group with varied tastes (one of my friends is a vegetarian; three of us don't eat pork at all.)
I ordered the Depressed Cow (for more on the cute names and descriptions, check out their menu: http://holychuckburgers.com/HolyChuck_menu.pdf) while my husband and his friend ordered the Greek Bahahastard. My vegetarian friend ordered the Animal Feed.
My burger was OK. Not bad, not great, and not particularly memorable (I had to go back to the website to try and remember what the hell I ate...). It wasn't the biggest burger I'd ever eaten, and it certainly wasn't the most flavourful. To be honest, I felt like the burgers were most comparable to other chain 'gourmet burger' spots like South Street or 5 Guys.
The lamb in the Greek Bahahastard was really undercooked in one of our orders, and we actually ended up asking if it could be thrown back on the grill. It didn't improve the taste much, but it was nice that the staff obliged quickly and without any attitude.
The Animal Feed was a giant portobello mushroom which was good for a few bites, but started tasting strangely mildew-ey halfway in. My friend left it aside and snacked on the fries instead.
Strangely, what I would return here for is the sweet stuff. I ordered a basic chocolate milkshake, and it was really good. We also shared an order of the Nutella lollipops: another good decision!
Holy Chuck should probably just switch to making desserts and leave the burger-flipping elsewhere.
A little add-on to this review: most of the burgers here came with bacon or some sort of pork as a topping/ingredient. I don't eat pork - so it's possible that the layer of bacon on a particular burger hits it out of the park, but I'm a bit skeptical.
