| - Let me start off by saying that most eateries don't rub me the wrong way like this. I'm fairly pleased, if not happy, with the myriad of establishments that I try.
However, I must be the only person in the world who isn't a gushing fanboy for this completely overrated-ripoff of a burger joint, even though cleverly-named. My wallet and stomach thought I was all the way down in Hell.
I'd been to the Waterworks location a few times, if that, and was disappointed at what you got for the price. Sure, the quality is there, but not the size. Yes, portion isn't everything, but for their prices, it should be a big factor. Sure, "big" was a pun, why not. Anyway, I've been to numerous places that have had as good, if not better, of burger quality and size for the money. Nox Grille, in Blawnox, just overall wipes the floor with Burgatory. Beer Nutz kicked their butts, too. Beer Nutz was supposedly owned by Burgatory, but now are closed. Beer Nutz had great portions, quality, and prices. Coincidence? Ya think you pay a ton for the flashy atmosphere at Trendytory? "Oh, Burgatory is soooooo awesome...all my friends go there!" Ooooh, tell me more!
I didn't care to visit the obnoxiously-loud establishment again, on my own at least. A few of my friends invited me out the other night, and I hadn't seen one in forever, so I figured "Why not, my buds are out." I was trying to imagine that this time would be better, or just different, but nope, it was worse (worst ever, actually). I saw all of the burger prices, and thought, for the bun being considerably bigger than the burger (last two times and looking around at other plates), I thought "Ummm, no." I got one of their salads...yes, at a gourmet burger place, because at least the salad prices seemed comparable to other places that give you monster ones, so I was...hopeful? Wrong again. The salad wasn't small, but very average-sized for an entree. Bravo kicks their butt in this area. (Seeing a pattern here yet?) The beer prices were also stupid, as the cheapest one was $6. I can name a ton of other places that have better prices across the board. Burgatory's selection was paltry, too, at best. Somehow, no one else, including my friends, seem to care about spending a tank of gas and then some, on dinner for themselves when it's nothing worth it. Hey, you can do more with gas anyway, including lighting your ripoff dinner on fire...at least that'd be enjoyable.
So, you can imagine how overpriced my dinner was (naw really?). Again, I don't get the hype here. Not only was the wait time almost TWO HOURS (this is supposedly normal on a busy night, but who gives a s**t, strike one). Then this place just kept striking out like a batter with chicken wings for arms. Crap, I should've eaten wings. My friends and I were there for a while hanging out, and that was of course a good experience, unlike the restaurant for me (I held in the angst). Then...wait for it...my check, after tip (I still tip well for decent service) came to around $30.
$30 for a salad and two beers.
Burgatory SUCKS.
