| - I cannot really remember a time when I was a customer somewhere and I was treated so well with genuine friendliness. Not the "yeah you're spending money here so we will treat you nice," but like they want to become your friend or something. Da Burger Shack as I was told, has been at this location for about 8 months now which is probably why I never heard of it. The motto on their sign outside is "We welcome you like family not as a stranger." Which was hopeful, I'm a sucker for small town treatment.
We were greeted nicely upon coming in, I noticed that they had some sort of contraption that produces cold drip coffee. Looks cool and tastes great. The atmosphere was like a mix between Cheba Hut (w/o the marijuana references), Hippie Gypsy, and a tropical hut. Whoever decorated that place has great taste in music and icons. The setting was small but cozy and very colorful down to the tables being painted.
There was nice outdoor seating but it was too warm outside to brave the elements. I was shocked to see they offer something called the "Big Tsunami," which is 10 ground beef patties topped with pastramis, 10 slices of American cheese, 2 fried eggs, diced onion, tomatoes, lettuce, and their special sauce (which is fabulous btw) all for $20~if you get the combo for $1.75 more you get chili cheese fries and 2 drinks. It is recommended for 5 or more people. Then I noticed they have something called Big Moke Burger which is 4 patties with 4 slices of cheese, bacon, carmelized onions and so forth for $9. They also have a Hawaiian Loco Moco plate. Alas, I did not try the cheesecake I saw they had in their refrigerated case.
The food:
Fries-they give you a TON of fries for a regular order, I hate to see (or maybe love?) what a 'large' looks like. They seem to be the frozen crinkle kind. They were still good, my only suggestion is to maybe make homemade, proprietary house fries?
Burger-great, although I don't eat meat my partner loved his burger. It seemed to be loaded with bacon and I was assured it was quality bacon, not the cheap kind they give you at fast food places. They use really soft, buttery kaiser rolls for the bun. My only gripe is that I wish they would offer a Boca, Morningstar or
Amy's veggie patty instead of a squishy portabello mushroom. I just don't feel those textures match up with a bun.
Conclusion: so much good food for very little money, do not come here on a diet. Of course you could try to get away with it by eating their salads but come on, willpower is not your strong suit. During our meal the older gentleman checked on us and we chatted, I wanted to get up and give him a hug and I don't like touching people. So sweet to everyone who came in and everyone seemed to be regulars, it was like Cheers; he knew everyone's name. He's giving the owner from Tokyo House a run for his money in hospitality and I love that guy.
I have some Kiwi's from New Zealand that I would love to bring here and I'm sure they will love it. Mahalo Da Burger!
