I usually leave my office at 1PM daily for lunch with a few friends dubbed the "lunch crew" and we often frequent Mitchells.
When you walk upstairs to the main dining room, nothing jumps out at you except for standard, basic, run of the mill. Typical cafeteria chairs and tables.
One day the "lunch crew" was looking for a burger and we gave the "MitchBurger" a try. Needless to say we have never ordered anything else since. In the basics of a good burger and sandwich, this burger hits all of the basics, with a few problems that they have since changed. Let me breakdown the construction of such.
A few pros and cons. Cons. They used to put the lettuce on the very bottom, which with a hot burger would make the lettuce wilt and become slimy. And thats it for the cons.
The Pros. The burger itself is not frozen or pre formed. It has that rustic hand made look. The bacon is thick and crispy and the pepper jack cheese provides a nice heat and texture. The onions are red and sliced into thin rings. I opt for no tomato. And then they add this magical "mitch sauce" consisting of a hot sauce / ranch blend. Just a filling burger that hits all of the right notes.
Downsides to the Mitchells experience are small but are important in any restaurant review.
When you ask for a water with lemon, ask for extra extra lemons because the portion provided are extremely small.
The french fries included with sandwiches can be hit or miss depending on how under or over cooked they are.
Other then that, we are able to always get in and out and back to work on time feeling very satisfied!
