| - Juicy is the first word that comes to mind - perhaps the juiciest burger I've ever had.
I had the "big" version of the BBQ Bacon Cheddar burger, and it was an exceptional burger. It wasn't my favorite burger of all time, but I'd say it's probably somewhere in the top 7-10.
The egg bun is soft and doughy, and is satisfying to bite into. The beef patty, as previously mentioned, oozes with juicy goodness, and the bacon, fried onions, and BBQ sauce round out the flavors.
In a way it reminds me of the fantastic BBQ burger at the Applepan in West Los Angeles, but somehow it doesn't quite replicate the magic.
I tried both the chili cheese fries and the sweet potato smash fries and neither did it for me. The chili cheese fries felt sloppily thrown together, and the flavors didn't balance particularly well, and I felt that coating the sweet potato fries in rosemary and parmesan cheese gave them an almost mushroom-like flavor - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Will I come back? Definitely - I'm already craving another one of their burgers while writing this. Perhaps I'll even try one of the smash chicken sandwiches next time.
