Why 4 stars and not 5?!?! Because it is not the best Hamburger in town!!!
Sure they are doing a lot of things right, probably everything right, but there is a lot of competition these days and a few blocks south and just to the east is a great place that is making The finest Hamburgers in the country. However that doesn't take away from all of the effort and expertise exuded at CBAC.
About those burgers I have tried a few and they are great, I really like to build my own so It's just so and that works out great for me. They make that nice and easy with the customer order forms for build your own burger and on the other side build your own mac and cheese. With the burgers comes great fries, or chips, and other options to upgrade your sides for a price. Meat and non meat options are also great for the burgers so choice and selection is awesome. My only "beef" with the burgers is with the cheese, it isn't melted to the patty, its always stuck to the top bun, always, so I imagine it's just how they do it, instead of a cooking problem.
The prices seem to be a little high, It's Scottsdale prices for sure, from $9.00 to $14.00 for burgers and mac and cheese option are about the same. Up grade your sides and have a few beers and per person check averages are a restaurateur's wet dream.
I like to sit at the bar where service has always been efficient if not great. The ladies behind the bar are attentive and are always ready to make that sale. Maybe I don't go enough or just because they are so busy, but nobody has ever remembered me and welcomed me back. That's a little surprising since I live in Old Town area and manage a club around the corner, and often have my pre-shift meal here. I am going to just chalk that up to the volume they are doing, this place is always busy.
Big TV's, visible management, attentive service, decent Happy hour, and a pretty good meal, in a great location works for me. Looking forward to seeing what's next from this team!
