| - Repeat, repeat, repeat. The Yellow Griffin's range of options is truly awesome. Everyone in your party can go in and get a burger while enjoying a totally unique meal. First you choose your burger, they have a full range of meat options but I of course go with the veggie. The veggie burger here is simply Yves garden burger, although it seems to be twice the size and thickness than the grocery store variety and is hence more satisfying. (Normally Yves would not be my first choice but I think it works here, though to be honest I like almost all veggie burgers with a few notable exceptions, ahem, Dangerous Dan's.)
So onto the toppings, the thirty-five combo list excites me greatly. My first time out I had the New Mexican, which was a creamy blend of guac, peanut butter that was tempered with sweet potato and spiked with cilantro (love!) --sounds weird but was completely wonderful.
I was tempted to get the New Mex again on my second visit but knew I had to give some other burgers some play. Next up was the Bollywood, another interesting combo that I figured was unlikely for me to experience elsewhere. My burger got a tandoori rub down and was sauced with a tangy green onion mayo/yogurt. It was zesty and delicious but less so than my third choice of the ploughman, basic yes, but there's a reason for classics.
If the burger choices didn't overwhelm you, you still have to decide on your side. My usual standard is regular ol' french fries that I can pair with ketchup and mustard --yes, I like to dip my fries into a blend of the two, especially if that mustard is dijon -try it!
Note: I haven't had a real problem with the service here and have visited on slow and on hectic days. It can be a little erratic and a slightly longer wait than average but is certainly not extreme nor anywhere near the worst service I have experienced in our lovely city.
