| - I have to preface this review with- we eat rare burgers. like so rare it qualifies as tartar. We did not get rare rare burgers at BurGR (which surprises me on one hand because I have seen Gordon ream out chefs for not serving meat at the correct temperature, but doesn't surprise me on the other hand because I know that a lot of restaurants are afraid to do a true rare burger).When the hostess seated us she pointed out their merchandise (wtf I didn't know i was going through a gift shop on my way to the table).
Waitresses need a new uniform. Period. Gordon, you miss the f+cking mark on attire. What are you thinking with this retro futuristic style of dress for your waitresses. Its almost to the point of offensive because of how short and low cut, distracting, the outfits are. I almost felt bad because our waitress, Crystal, was awesome but her boobs in my face was a little distracting. Crystal was great, she recommended some great drinks ( I did the skinny screw and hubs got a Guinness, the little Guinness shooter was his first choice but when he found out it was a tiny shot sans actual Guinness he decided on just true Guinness). The ipad drink menu is weird, I almost thought the entire menu should be on it or something else- didn't seem like a good use of an ipad.
The husband got the farm burger- duck bacon and an egg, he liked the flavors a lot. The bun was good, the patty was a bit smaller than we are used to. We shared an order of sweet potato fries (without vanilla sugar) and it came with house made ketchup and a jalapeno mayo sauce. We felt that if you are going to say jalapeno you need to make it spicy. We almost asked for hot sauce. The house made ketchup is really good- very tomato-y.
I had the Choy Sui burger which has pork belly, carrots, radish, and cilantro. It was good, the flavors were there. The pork belly was a little chewy so it was hard to just take a bite of the burger and come out with all the flavors intended. Pulling fattiness out of your mouth is never becoming either.
The fries were cooked well, the waitress was a doll, but I will always have this experience in the back of my mind when I watch him scold chefs for overcooking meat. Getting a rare burger is hard, but we thought that of all places, BurGR could hit the mark. "WOW,Wow wow wow " as Gordon would say, this place needs to check itself that it isn't just riding on the popularity of it's name and is actually delivering. Burgers have NO sides, so I guess $15 for just a burger is a good price for the strip, but I am used to getting RARE burgers with fries or salad included for that much. Bottom line: If you love Gordon, go taste what he has to offer. If you are expecting a meal that shows you what Gordon does to other restaurants go to a different f=cking place. WOW, wow wow wow.
