| - After seeing this restaurant on TV, I couldn't wait to drop by to taste the burgers first hand. When one of my dates suggested meeting up somewhere for a quick bite, I quickly suggested this place since it was conveniently located right near his workplace.
So there I was going in with high expectations after all the hype that I had made up for myself after seeing this restaurant on TV. As we walked in, I was very surprised at how small the place was given that there was at most 5 tables and maybe a few bar stools. This is definitely a take-out joint, and not a sit down restaurant. So we proceeded to go up to the cash to put in our order. There was a variety of burgers on the menu. Since I do not like caramelized onions, that sort of reduced my choices down by half. There was a special of the day that was featured - some kind of Jalapeno style burger. Since i like a bit of spice, after a long deliberation, I decided to go for it and order the special.
Along wiith the burger special, you can order a drink. They have two kinds of drinks. Regular softdrinks or this special soda on the top shelf. I think if you opt for the soda, there is a nomimal additional charge.
So they rang up the bill and i think it probably was around $25 for two orders. You have the choice of onion rings or homemade fries. I picked the fries while my date picked the onion rings.
The burger turned out to be really good. The meat tasted very fresh and the ingredients were oozing out so you definitely need to be careful so that you dont make a mess. The fries were tasty and I didn't try the onion rings but they looked good.
The interior is very casual. It's set-up as a take out joint. You order, you wait, then you eat and go or take it to go. On the postive side, there is no tip to pay.
Overall, this is a good burger joint. I've been to other places such as Licks, Harveys, Jack Astors, Loose Moose for burgers and this is definitely one step above given that its a gourmet burger joint. I don't know if you could say that the taste of the meat itself was mindblowing. They depend on the toppings for flavoring instead of putting the flavor in the meat. Atleast that's what I can remember.
