| - I've been to The Burgernator twice in the last two weeks, and I'm adding it to my list of "places to go to when I need to satisfy a very specific craving".
Their burgers are very tasty, and they're served unpretentiously in nice metal trays. I appreciate how they are made simply without any added fillers, so those of us who avoid gluten and eggs can enjoy them as well.
Their burger options are inventive and well-developed. I had a lamb burger with mango and jalapeno salsa on one visit, and a beef burger with avocado salsa, havarti and chipotle aioli (served on the side upon my request since I don't like mayo on burgers) the next time. Both times the burgers were very well cooked with that characteristic crust that you can only get with a properly flat-topped burger.
The burgers are cooked to medium on request, and I would strongly recommend it.
If ordered this way, they have an amazing crust on the exterior, and are exceptionally juicy and flavourful. The meat is very good quality, and they really celebrate this with their topping offerings.
I can't comment on the quality of the bun, since I always order my burgers bunless/naked. I can say, however, that the interior of the burger is tasty enough that it doesn't NEED a bun.
Since it's the dead of winter, the tomatoes and lettuce they garnish their burgers with are pretty sad looking (and are largely tasteless). I hope they switch to something more flavourful and local once better quality produce is available in the summer.
As an aside, I also love how this place has decks of Cards Against Humanity available for play - it's a great way to fill the time while awaiting a delicious meal.
