| - There are SO many reasons to love this place, which is why I keep going back for more! If I'm having a bad week, it's amazing how "Let's go to Blu Burger" can turn everything around. (Pathetic? A little. But this place is truly that magical.)
Reasons to love Blu Burger:
1) It's family-owned. Rather than supporting a big corporation, you're giving your business to the little guy.
2) Great customer service.
3)Affordable. A burger-with-a-side is around the $10 range. They also run a happy hour special - I believe Mon-Thursday till 6 - featuring some deep-fried appetizers and cheap drinks.
4) The location. This is a great dinner-and-a-movie place, since it is right next to Harkins.
5) The food is SO GOOD. I would like to personally recommend the buffalo chips, which are these homemade potato chips drizzled with blue cheese and buffalo sauce. Dip them in the ranch and you will be in a food coma in no time. The onion rings at this place are of the fat, beer-battered variety, also complimented nicely by the ranch. The sweet potato fries are delicious as well; I recommend those with chipotle mayonnaise dipping sauce. On a recent trip, I ventured outside my box and tried the wings. Surprise! They are spectacular as well.
As for the main course, you will fall in LOVE with the burgers here. I love the bison burger with all the trimmings, but the Kobe is great as well. If you aren't in a burger mood, the "blu chicken" sandwich is a great choice (with ranch on the side for dipping). I love how the side salads are of the leafy green variety, as opposed to the dry iceberg lettuce ones that are so common.
I was never a burger person before, but this place has turned me into a snob. It's hard to go back to white-bread, greasy burgers after having the quality this place delivers. Worth every penny!!
