High hopes, with so many great Reviews, that my #1 (The Grind) and #2 (Deluxe) favorite Phoenix Hamburgers were going to be challenged.
They ware not!
That being the case the appearance of the restaurant it very nice and tidy and the service from the Staff was impeccable.
I believe the biggest problem here is that the choice of accompaniments on the menu overcome whatever flavor the beef has. My choice was Llano Pablano, just as it is on the menu. My friends was El Diablo, again just as it was on the menu. Unfortunately, in both cases the beef taste of the burger itself never came through. Given the claimed quality of the beef and the price tag, seems like it should have been far more flavorful.
The Truffle Fires were equally disappointing, only from the standpoint there was virtually no truffle flavor, although they were well cooked with excellent texture.
The Grind doesn't have to worry about being surpassed in quality, in spite of the crowds they are attracting here.
