| - If they tried to make me go to Rehab Burger I might say Yes Yes Yes! I actually tried to go to the Scottsdale location a few months back but the wait to get a table was so long that we decided to eat somewhere else. We were in the area and saw that the Tempe location had just opened so we figured we should check it out!
The location is a bit hidden, right next to the Brickyard garage exit off of 6th Street. There is outdoor and indoor seating and in the winter they have heaters out if you do decide to eat on the patio. It was fairly busy when we came here on Saturday in the afternoon but we were able to get a seat with no wait.
The menu has an extensive selection of burgers and drinks. They have a daily happy hour from 11-6 which includes discounted drinks. Every burger can be made into a 5 oz relapse size or 10 oz rehab size, and there are multiple protein options, such as beef, turkey, and veggie patty. Feeling in a spicy mood, I opted for the ghost burger, labeled as such due to the inclusion of ghost pepper cheese. I tried some of the chili cheeseburger as well.
Since it was pretty busy it took some time for our orders to get out to our table. Service was good though as we were waiting and drinks were refilled as needed. The plates were impressive looking. The execution though left something to be desired. Our burgers were supposed to be medium rare but came out more like medium to medium well. The burger itself had a dense tough texture, not very juicy, and didn't have a lot of flavor in it aside from a faint taste of char from the grill. I did enjoy the guacamole but the cheese wasn't fully melted in the center of the burger and had a slight grainy texture. The ghost pepper in it was actually not too spicy. I'd say it was about the spiciness of a jalapeno. The pretzel bun was decent but I didn't really enjoy it with my particular burger.
The chili cheeseburger was admirably smothered in a large amount of chili. The taste itself was OK, nothing spectacular, and I had the same problem with the beef patty being too densely brick-like in texture and lacking in flavor.
The fries were light and crisp, dusted with some seasoned salt and very plentiful.
Since it was so busy they seemed a bit rushed for us to finish and get our table cleared. Everyone here though was friendly and attentive.
I'll give them another try; maybe another type of burger will taste better.
