| - We had a buy one get one free burger coupon so we decided to try it out for lunch. I was curious about the KGB theme. However, I ended up being pretty disappointed.
There were a few vodka cocktails (but aren't there everywhere?) and there were pictures on the walls of Russian looking stuff .The servers and cooks were wearing uniforms that I'm assuming were supposed to be from the Soviet era but that's where the theme stopped. The burgers could have been from anywhere. Western, BBQ, club, all the standards were there. I'm not quite sure how Russian food could really be incorporated into typical burger fare but a little creative word play on the menu at the very least would have been appreciated. Maybe it was the time of the day we were there (lunch, Sunday afternoon) but there was no life to the place at all. It really felt dead, almost as if it was a fake restaurant created for a movie. Anyone know what I mean at all?
Husband and I both ordered burgers from the pre-set menu (booo for the coupon not allowing us to order from the make your own burger options) and the burgers ended up being average at best. Burgers were pretty big and meaty but as far as flavors, nothing special at all. The fries were pretty bland as well. I really expected a special "je ne sais quoi" since this supposed to be a gourmet, fancy chef burger place but I found that to be completely non existent. It was a generic burger, nothing gourmet or different about it. In fact, I actually prefer the taste of burgers from Fat Burger or Fuddruckers and they're just straight forward, all American burgers. This place is pretty much all gimmick.
