| - I had not planned on writing this review, I really was only going to add a quick tip since I'd been thinking of, and missing, Blu Burger, but when I saw the low star reviews, I knew I had to set things straight. Fellow yelpers, this is NOT a one or two star restaurant. Is it expensive? Maybe. Is it worth the money? YES!!! This is not fast food people. Fast food has it's place and time, but when what you are looking for is a high quality burger with exceptional sides, served in a restaurant with nice atmosphere and table service, this is your place. Yeah, you're going to pay more than you would in the drive-thru, but, as in many cases, here, you really do get what you pay for.
Let me tell you a little about what you can expect and why I love, and miss, this place:
First, you build your own burger. All of their burgers are cooked to order and come with a side. There are several meat (and non meat) options, including: Free Ranch Black Angus, American Kobe, Turkey, Bison, Chicken, Salmon, Veggie, or Portabello Mushroom. Next, you have a choice of buns: White, Wheat, Onion or Lettuce wrap (for those on the low carb diet). Their cheese choices are excellent as well and include my favorite goat cheese. Toppings, specialty ingredients (like Applewood bacon and fresh guacamole) and sauces.
Second, the sides. Now, I have to admit that I can really only speak to the quality of the cole slaw and their sweet potato and regular fries, all of which were done right and would, imo, hold their own against any. Other choices include mixed green salad, zucchini fries and onion rings.
Third, it's family owned and operated. I like that. I feel good about giving my business to locally owned family businesses.
Finally, the service. Before moving out of state, hubby and I were regulars here and the service was always good. The servers were polite, unfailingly quick to refill drinks and truly attentive to all of their customers.
Yes, it's $10 and up for their burgers, but they come with the fixin's AND a side, and that is the going rate for burgers of this caliber. Not overpriced, just damn fine food, period.
And FYI, it's Blu Burger Grille, not Blue Burger Grill.
