| - Yes, these burgers are greasy. Let's get that out of the way. But it doesn't resemble the type of industrial-synthetic grease you get from McD's or something, and let's remember that in most cases you're eating some kind of double cheeseburger with bacon and sauteed onions. Grease is part of that meal, and I'd rather have it than eat a dry, cardboardy burger.
I had the Cowlorie (double cheeseburger with the aforementioned bacon and caramelized onions, with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches in place of the top and bottom bun). I found the burger was actually quite large, which made me feel a little better about spending $11.99 on it, and the patties were flavourful and tender. Everything managed to stay together quite well somehow, though one of the guys at our table resigned himself to knife-and-forking it. I like the grilled cheese bun option, and I found Chuck's implementation to be better than Priest's. I didn't think it was overly-salted as some comments mentioned, and I don't put much salt on anything these days. I think the only taste I wasn't crazy about was the onions, which were OK, but not really clicking with the rest of the flavour from the patties, bacon, and grilled cheese. I'd skip them next time.
The fries were good, and I think they had the potential to be better, but they might have been a little overseasoned for me. At first I liked the extra flavour (not sure what it was) but by the end of my basket I was wishing for less of it.
Service was good, and very friendly. The guy working the register (owner? manager? not sure) wandered around when there weren't new customers to ask people how everything was, and made a few recommendations when people were unsure what to order.
I'd definitely go back when I'm in need of a big, heavy burger meal and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a little grease.
