| - My wife & I were looking for somewhere to eat, & she was in the mood for a burger, so we decided to try Baldwin Street Burger. We were there at 5:45 on a Sunday night, & we were the only ones there when we arrived, although a few other customers came in & grabbed take-out while we were eating.
The place was very cool, & it's pretty unique as far as burger places go. It's very old-school & rural, with all sorts of rustic signs hanging on the walls. It has an old, market-type atmosphere inside with the butcher-block tables & everything.
My wife & I both opted for the Southern BBQ Burger, which comes with double-smoked bacon, coleslaw, smoked cheddar & bourbon birch beer BBQ sauce. The burgers were delicious, & cooked just right. The toppings were great, & the twice-fried french fries were excellent. My wife chose to get deep-fried pickles as the side with her combo, & I couldn't help but sneak one when she wasn't looking, & as good as the fries were, I should've chosen the pickles, too. The breading was super-crispy, & there was no way that the pickles were store-bought, off-the-shelf pickles. They were bursting with flavour & better than any other deep-fried pickles I've had anywhere else.
We got a kids burger combo & a BSB Bite combo for the kids. The BSB Bites are basically homemade popcorn chicken, & the kids loved it. Next time we'll get both of them the Bites.
Baldwin Street Burger has a decidedly upscale feel in a casual relaxed atmosphere, but the prices are definitely on the upscale side. For the two burger combos, & the two kids' meals, it came to just over $40 with taxes. Definitely not a cheap night out for burgers. The food was great & the service was excellent, so we'll definitely be back!
