| - This Boardwalk Burger joint was a totally underwhelming experience, the wife and I went and 1/2 way through our burgers we looked at one another and I said, "We should have gone to 5guys," she replied, "Yep."
The things that truly made this experience underwhelming were:
1) No seasoning on anything. Fries were bland, burger had no flavour.
Let's put it this way, if you take a bite of this burger and close your eyes, it doesn't really taste like anything. I knew some kind of food was in my mouth.. but nothing more. It wasn't bad, it was just... nothing.
2) Stale and hard buns. The bun is a critical aspect of a burger experience. This bun competes with the burger... It's like they aren't friends at all, when the burger+bun really need to be bros - working together to maximize the eaters experience.
3) Milkshake... our vanilla milk shake tasted like frozen milk. No flavour. The thing that really bothered me is the photo shows a 'classic' milkshake with whip and a cherry. What we got was very very far from it.
While I don't have the heart to give this one star, I had to give it real consideration. But the food didn't poison me, it didn't taste bad. it just tasting like nothing. (For perspective a raw potato tastes like something... this... not so much.)
