| - After watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother about searching for the perfect burger, my friends and I suddenly had a mad hankering for a burger. We headed down to Kickstand tonight in order to sate our cravings.
This is not my first trip here, but I've yet to review this place. I simply love this place; they have some tasty burgers and appetizers. Let me tell you about some of the great things here.
On our first night here, we ordered the nachos as an appetizer. Imagine a gigantic platter, completely filled with chips, and piled high with cheese, jalapenos, chili, beans, and the usual nacho condiments. Truly, two people could eat this as a meal, and probably four people could eat this an an appetizer. The chili on it is not too hot and not too sweet, with a solid flavor. We love these things, and have ordered them more than once now.
The first burger we tried was the Fender Bender, with chili, fried onions, mushrooms, and even bacon. It was good, but more of a knife-and-fork kind of burger. We had their tater tots, which are pretty tasty as well. We had tried Le Trek burger (grilled onions, blue cheese, steak sauce & chipotle mayo) with bacon added - which is definitely their best burger. My partner has also had the Kickstand burger, which was a little disappointing (the cranberry chutney and brie are just weird on a burger). You can also build your own burger, as well as choose from veggie and turkey burgers, other sandwiches, plus hotdogs. I am told the vegetarian burger is awesome with beef instead of the veggie patty itself. Their sweet potato tater tots are ok too. Not to mention they have some decent beer specials, including $1 PBRs every night.
Service has been pretty good each time we've been here, and each time it's been on a busy weekend night. My biggest complaint is that the parking situation is a pain. There are no lines in the parking lot, and people just park wherever, making it difficult to navigate the lot.
This is a decent place to grab a burger and a beer while watching a game.
