| - I was too full after my meal to try their gelato, although it was pretty popular; a lot of people came just for the gelato, so it must be good.
I had the Capitano ($5.50), which has cheese and house sauce in addition to lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions. You can ask to exclude any of the toppings, if you wish. For 3.50, you can make it a combo; you get a drink (you just grab any can or water bottle from the freezer behind you), and a choice of onion rings, fries or gelato.
I think the size of their burger is similar to a Hero burger, maybe not as tall, but definitely the lack in height is made up in circumference.
The buns are made in-house, so it has that home-baked taste. The bread doesn't stick to the roof of your mouth like the other franchise buns (McD, BK), and it's fluffy and moist.
You get a lot more meat than the franchise burgers, but not as much as Hero? The meat is better than the standard patty you would get at McD or BK though...you can actually "see" the meat after you bite into the patty, as opposed to the super-finely ground-then-pressed-together-patty.
The cheese wasn't the nasty plastic Kraft Singles cheese, yay. I don't think the house sauce was anything special, to be honest...Overall, the burger was really good.
Onion rings are so so crispy, I think they double fry? Yummmmm.
The fries are simple; no extra batter or crisp added. Just some McCain style cut potatoes, paprika sprinkles, salted nicely, very good. Not crunchy or crispy, but very good.
They have a lot of interesting signature burgers that I'd like to try next time. I'll definitely be back!
They have a 10% student discount, btw, so just tell the cashier when you order. The cashier will ask for your name, and when your order comes out, instead of shouting your name for you to pick it up, the cashier brings it to your table.
