| - Bub's is "ok." The burgers are decently good, although not spectacular. The patties are "homestyle" or in other words seem hand-formed. They were quite moist, slightly pink in the middle (which I enjoyed), but lacked in flavor in their own right. It was pretty much just average beef flavor.
So I'd like to see a bit more savory taste in the burger itself, and less grease on the bun. Please, please drain the patties before putting them on the bun! My bun was partially translucent from oil, and I had to peel it off... On the other hand my companion's burger was not as oily...so perhaps consistency is an issue here.
Toppings were fine: Mushrooms were good, lettuce/tomato/mayo/pickles all as expected. Fried onions could have been a bit crisper and caramelized, but for under $4 not too bad.
Fries: Absolute FAIL. These were probably the worst fries I've ever had. Bub's: What are you doing? The fries were overcooked, mealy, and grey in the middle!! They tasted simultaneously burned and underflavored, with no salt added (salt packets are available), and I'm positive I could taste a vague sweet potato flavor (probably from mixing oil or the drip tray).
The only redeeming part of the fries experience was the Heinz ketchup.
Bub's - I think you may be overlooking what is involved in making a tasty batch of fries.
In sum: A nice, clean, inexpensive place that needs to iron out some new-business kinks in order to bring it up to 4 stars or better: 1) Make fries better. 2) MAKE FRIES BETTER. 3) Seasoning or better flavor for beef 4) Drain patties after cooking 5) Fried onions could be better.
