| - Well we made the trek from Gilbert to Tempe specifically to get burgers and onion rings from this place because my mother in law raved about the o-rings.
Not impressed honestly. Here's why, while the onion rings were actually really good, the burgers left SO much to be desired! We ordered an ABC (avocado, bacon and cheese) burger with no lettuce or tomato (picky brother in law), a spicy chicken sandwich (the wife) and a patty melt (for myself). My patty melt was pretty greasy as one should expect from a patty melt, but it didn't seem to come from the burger, but from the butter on the bread or onions because the burger itself was really dry and honestly spongy in the worst way possible. It definitely had the texture of either being previously frozen OR the burger mix was severely overmixed, to the point of being more of a burger batter than a ground meat patty. I snuck a bite of my brother in laws burger (for science!!) and it was EXACTLY the same texture. Like a sad dried out sponge topped with cheap bread. If anyone has ventured into the dark world of microwaved cheeseburgers, this burger will take you back to that sad lonely place, seriously that is the first thing I thought of with my first bite.
As for the chicken sandwich, the "spicy" added to the sandwich was actually just tangy buffalo sauce which wasn't anything to write home about to be sure.
The reason I'm giving this place even 2 stars is because their onion rings and fries were both super delicious, how a place can go so right and so wrong all at the same time is beyond me.
For now I'll just skip the 30 min trek to burger rush and stop by Smash burger or Burgerfi to satisfy my craving.
