I'm not sure what all the hype is about. After two failed attempts at getting a table in the past, we finally managed to secure a table so I could could try this long-awaited and much talked about burger. Before fire rains down upon me for posting a poor review from the Burgatory fanboys/fangirls...I'm not saying the food was bad. I'm saying it didn't live up to the ridiculous amount of hype I've heard about it from friends, nor does it jusitfy waiting 1+ hrs. for a table.
They were packed. The service was Meh. The waitress was clearly super busy and they were understaffed, totally slammed, or both. I got a burger and a shake. I got the "Meat your Maker" which was less than impressive. Sure, it sounded like it would be great but it just wasn't the taste-bomb my mouth was expecting. My wife got some pot roasty burger thing that was better than my burger, but again, disappointed me.
Perhaps my expectations were set too high. I'd take 5 guys over this any day. I'd take Red Robin over this any day. I will give you this, Burgatory...you make a damn fine milkshake.
