| - Burgatory has been my go-to burger and milkshake joint for quite some time. The staff has always been friendly at whichever location I visit, the establishment is clean, and the ambiance fits perfectly for a place called "Burgatory."
I always opt for the "Build Your Own Burger" selection since you can customize every aspect of your burger from its bun down to the spice rub they use on the patty. I love that they give you so many options just for the bun, but I usually stick with the standard brioche bun - it's soft, toasted, and it's large enough to contain all your burger toppings.
As for the patty, you have several different options. You can't go wrong with a typical beef patty, which is cooked to your liking (pink, some pink, or no pink). If you opt for the chicken patty, the server will usually ask if you would like a chicken breast patty or a ground chicken patty. I've tried both but slightly prefer the ground chicken patty over the chicken breast mainly because the rubs are integrated a bit better in the patty than in the chicken breast.
I've sampled a few of the different rubs during my visits, and I've been drawn to the Diablo Dust rub the most. It gives the burger just a little bit of distinctive heat, and it's the one you can actually tell is mixed into your burger (or sprinkled on top if you opt for a chicken breast patty). Some of the rub names are a bit confusing, as it's difficult to tell what's actually in the spice blend (ex: Angel Dust = salt and pepper), but the servers are more than happy to explain the entire menu to you.
My favorite sauce is probably their "House Sauce," which is a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. I always write "sauce on the side" on my order form since I love dipping my chips in the sauce (which are homemade, thick-cut, crispy, and amazing). The few times I've opted for their fries over their chips, I've received slightly flimsy fries, so I prefer the crispier chips.
Feel free to pick whatever toppings you like. Their jalapenos are spicy, the bacon is crispy, the grilled onions are sweet and perfectly caramelized, the fried egg is served up sunny side up, and all other toppings are plentiful, so prepare for a messy yet delicious burger.
On to the shakes...oh my the shakes. They are by far some of the best milkshakes I've had. My favorites are the Cookie Monster milkshake and the spiked Espresso Love milkshake. You can ask them to add whatever alcohol you prefer to non-alcoholic milkshakes, and they can always make their alcoholic milkshakes without alcohol. All of their milkshakes come topped with a generous serving of whipped cream and their own garnishes. They're definitely large enough to split with someone else, but typically they won't split the milkshake for you. They'll be more than happy to bring you another glass and straw, but it's up to you if you want to attempt to split the milkshake in half. You're probably better off using two straws in the original glass. Sometimes, you'll get lucky and they'll actually split the milkshake into two separate glasses, but it has only been done once out of the several times I've visited - it's always worth asking, though.
Burgatory will leave you stuffed, smiling, and perhaps feeling a little bit "bleh" afterwards, but it's always worth it.
