| - We tried BURGR at Recon Brewing last night. My hubs and I both ordered the Cease and Desist, but I got the veggie burger. We also got 2 sides of fries with "crack sauce," and a cookies and cream shake. The wait wasn't too long for as busy as they were.
My burger was fried and on the hard side. It was a falafel mix patty that was almost identical to what I've had at Pig Iron in Cranberry. It's overly salty. The Cease and desist comes with caramelized onion, cheese, and thousand island. There was barely any dressing on the sandwich and it had soaked into the bun. Also no lettuce or tomato on it which I didn't realize, so sandwich was dry. The whole wheat bun was tasty but I don't think it was warmed up at all.
Fries were tasty, but I didn't like the crack sauce. I guess I thought it would be a mayo based dipping sauce but it was like a chili cheese dip. I mixed my own sauce with mayo, ketchup, and mustard packets they gave me, and also dipped my burger in it, which helped with the dryness. I didn't have a bite of my hubby's sandwich but he said he felt it needed more sauce too. He loved the brioche bun and said the meat tasted like good quality. The shake was really good but suuuuper sweet. My kids loved it, of course!
The total bill came to $39 with tip. Ultimately, for someone who orders a veggie burger I have had better veggie burgers at other Burger places in Pittsburgh. I wish veggie burgers weren't treated as such a throwaway item at restaurants, especially when you're paying $9 for it.
