Burgers top my list of perfect meals - without question. With Burger Priest a stone's throw away from this new location, I had to drag myself away from my usual stomping grounds to try what I've been told was one of the best burgers in the city.
I have to reluctantly admit that it is a FANTASTIC burger - it actually exceeded my expectation. I wasn't ready to let another burger joint into my heart just yet.
There are some key highlights that set this burger apart from its other amazing neighborhood counterparts:
- The bun - thicker more resilient (fresh with "good grip")
- The lettuce - nothing like a sturdy iceberg on a hot burger! No wilting here! Overall the toppings were a bit more elaborate (and fresh)
- The beef - thicker, medium rare style and very juicy, with a nice smokiness. The burger "falls apart" in your mouth
- They take credit card... and the price for two burgers, an order of fries and a drink was under $20 (noticeably reasonable)
We tried and split both the P&L and the Deluxe and both were fantastic. The fries were crispy and creamy.
Service was just okay - nothing memorable.
The place was busy, and we opted for a place at the stool bar. Some random mix of 90s hip-hop was blaring, but only added to the fun.
Welcome to the neighborhood, you are truly loved P&L.
