| - I stopped by here this past Sunday around noon for lunch with my fiance. I have been to Burgatory before but not in a long time and never to this location. As we were walking towards the front door of the place we noticed that they have quite a nice outdoor seating area. We were seated immediately upon walking in the door but I noticed that there was only one other table free. That table also quickly filled up and by the time that we left there were many groups of people waiting for a table. The inside of the restaurant has a sleek and industrial feeling with a bar and a number of TV's near the tail end of the restaurant which is next to the outdoor seating and then the bulk up the main seating near the front with a fun flow chart on the wall.
For my lunch entree I ordered the make you own burger for which they have order forms on the table which you complete using their check boxes. There are about 7 section with the first section being the meat you want, second bun, third cheese, fourth sauces, etc. I ended up choosing the hormone free beef (cooked pink) with peppercorn crust on a whole wheat bun topped with siracha remoulade, cheddar, banana peppers, poblano peppers, dill chips and romaine lettuce. Their burgers also come with a side of chips which you can upgrade to a better side for a little more money. I chose to do that with the quinoa salad. Our meals came out within a reasonable time period complete with devil pitch fork holding the hamburgers together and they looked good. My burger was cooked as ordered and I enjoyed the taste of the patty. What was disappointing with it was that the siracha remoulade had no discernible spice to it and the flavor of my cheese got lost in the myriad flavors of the burger. I can't say too much about the latter though as I did choose all of the toppings myself. The real winner of my lunch actually ended up being the quinoa salad. It consisted of red quinoa, green/red/yellow bell peppers, pineapple and surprisingly some lemon juice which added the perfect amount of acidity to make the salad really enjoyable.
The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. The food was good, especially the meat for the burger and quinoa salad, and I love the number of different toppings available for the build your own burger.
