| - I am typing this with a smile on my face and my belly full of cheese burger and fries :') ! Tat burger is a great addition to College St ! It's good food for cheap which sounds great to me! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is casual; and for restaurant that serves burgers and fries, the furniture is rather nice ! I wish I had stayed for my meal!
The restaurant was originally the Taurus Grill House. It looked like a promising place and I actually regret never going inside... Anyway, they closed up recently (I suspect they were barely scraping by and they hadn't made enough profit to keep the restaurant going) and within a week or two, the restaurant was being renovated to become the new Tat Burger! They kept Taurus' lighting, marble table tops, counter and sign. Except the big gold bull and "Taurus Bar and Grill" on their marble sign was replaced with a simple "TAT BURGER" in bright bold red. The seats are nice as well! Maybe they were also "inherited" from Taurus :P!
Upon entering the empty restaurant, I was greeted quite kindly by the chef of the place. He quickly took my order for a cheese burger and fries and another worker came to collect my money while he started on the food. I am very happy with the food I got for my money. The burger pattie was thick, juicy and delicious and there was a generous amount of fries that came with it ! It cost me "$5.09" tax included! Soooo worth it!
The worker informed me that I was welcome to take a seat while I waited for my food which was a good idea. I can guestimate it took about 10 minutes to prepare my order which I was surprised with ! Isn't fast food supposed to be a lot faster? I didn't mind though. The chef was being very dilligent with the food and I had a comfy seat for my bum :)
After a brief 10 minutes, the chef called out that my burger was ready. I picked up my bag and headed for the counter. I hadnt noticed before, but behind the glass window they had a very colorful array of different "toppings"(?) for my burger! I got everything on mine ! That would include: slightly roasted bell pepper (green), sautéed mushrooms, sliced purple onion, iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, chopped cooked asparagus, pickles, jalepeño, hot pickled pepper rings, relish, mayo, feta cheese, blue cheese and grated parmesan cheese, and finally ketchup and mustard :') what a variety eh? He assembled the big burger, wrapped it in a red and white checkered burger wrapper, packed it in a big styrofoam box and proceeded to the fryer to load it up with some fresh made fries. Yum ! He then turned back to the counter and set the closed box down for me. "Here you go, okay ?" he said with a genuine and happy smile. I thanked him graciously. I assume they haven't had many customers come through their doors (which needs to change asap!) but I have VERY high hopes for this place! Great food, low prices, nice place to dine and kind service ! I love it ! Very very glad they opened in my neighborhood ! I will be returning soon !
Ps! Their menu consists of more than burgers and fries! They have bagels, omelettes, sandwiches and dinner specials ! I highly recommend others to try this place out :) I had a great experience and you'll be glad you stopped by too!
