| - I came here with some friends, the menu and Yelp reviews looked promising. 4-Square has a pretty nice free draft beer check-in. They served a really light beer, I really enjoyed it, it was refreshing, luckily I had this to wash down my burger.
I ordered the Gold Standard. I like how the burger was well-intact when I cut it and half and ate it. Cleaniness makes a world of difference. I ordered the burger medium, and it looked pink and medium (while my friend also ordered medium, but her's looked more well done), but it was extremely dry. It was too dry to taste the quality of the patty. Perhaps, it was because the patty was aged, so the flavors were more definitive, but I wonder that's why it made the patty way too dry. Don't get me wrong, the flavors of the burger were bold and tasted pretty good. It came well together, and the goat cheese cheddar stood out in a good way. Pretty delicious burger, except for the fact the patty was really dry and it's overpriced.
The fries were cold and also tasted old.
I did however try my friend's Rising Sun burger, that tasted good. The flavors were once again bold, and it had a pretty unique taste that stands out. I liked that one more.
Comparing this burger with like a Father's Office or Umami (I do not like Umami), it tastes about the same (although I like Father's Office the best), quality and unique taste-wise, they're all about equilavent, except those other burgers costs $13-14, while here it costs $17. Not sure if it's worth it. At least it made me not feel as bad paying $13-14 for the burgers at the other places now.
Overall, I'd give this place 3.5 stars, rounded down.
