I love L.G.O. so this being part of their family of restaurants made me really want to like it. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed with our first experience.
The decor and ambience was cool and modern. We sat at the bar which allowed us to see the cooks prepare the food. My friend and I ordered the shattered chips, Ingo Burger and Paris Texas Burger.
The chips came out right away. This was fantastic. I would come back just for this.
My friend and I decided to split the two burgers as they both sounded good. We pretty much had the same impression of both.
This Ingo burger had too much sauerkraut that pretty much overpowered the flavor making the burger part cold and soggy. The beef was good but barely noticeable.
The Paris Texas burger was partially better but again had an overpowering sweetness with it's apple bbq sauce. No complaints on the beef or the quality of the ingredients - just the balance of the flavors were off.
Overall the balance of the burger was no where near what you'd expect from a place like this. What made it worse was the burgers are extremely small. I'm not a big guy but after eating the burger and chip I was literally still hungry. We didn't want to order another mediocre $8.25 burger each so we literally left to go to another restaurant nearby.
I might give Ingo's another chance just for the chips and maybe the 1 hour availability egg salad sandwich. As expected the service was excellent and the complementary sea salt cookies are a nice touch.
