| - 4-1/2 stars, actually.
I'd heard a lot about this place, as it always appears at the top, or close-to-the-top, in my "Best Burgers of Calgary" queries. So, I absolutely *had* to check them out next opportunity I got, and check them out I did.
First, let me say that the environment was very cool: Ms. Pac Man arcade game reminded me of my childhood in the '80s (yes, I know I just dated myself!) and the tables and chairs were reminiscent of the era, too! I simply loved it.
The people behind the counter were helpful, fun, engaged, and very accommodating to me, and they were able to suggest a great burger and accompanying shake (I chose the Doggie Burger and Chocolate shake).
The most important thing here is this: Both were *absolutely fantastic* !!! The burger was the best I've had in Calgary (top 5 or maybe top 3 best burger EVER for me!) and the shake was excellent. My only quibble (and why they lose 1/2 a star here) was that the spicy fries just didn't quite work for me; I didn't like the extra bite the fries provided. I should've stuck with traditional fries. OK. Live and learn. I ate a few of them anyway, with little problem.
It's a fairly small hole-in-the-wall operation just off Edmonton Trail in the NE with limited parking, that nevertheless serves life-changing experience in the form of burgers. I heartily recommend!
