| - I've waited an awful long time to visit The Burger Co. - and I'm not sure why? So, here's the deal...
In a sea of pretty damn tasty burger joints, The Burger Co. fits right in the middle for me. It's good, but it's not great.
The Good: It's a nice looking place on the inside - I'd like to see it filled up before Panthers games, but the Panthers would actually have to be good, first. Other good things...they grind their meat fresh daily - I could tell as my burger wasn't the typical round frozen patty. It was a fresh patty smothered in cheddar cheese with my choice of toppings. For $5, the burger was pretty filling. They have a large variety of burgers, a few, salads, and a nice selection of sides. Staff were extremely friendly and laid back, which works well with this order & deliver concept. Don't expect waiters/waitresses here, but they do have a full bar with some decent drink specials. Nom.
The Meh: Your burger doesn't come with a side, which isn't too bad considering the burgers are pretty affordable. I ordered the sweet potato tots, and they were just a little sweet for me. They were off the charts sweet with the coagulated cinnamon sugar butter that came with them. I'll pass on that next time. However, the tots were perfectly cooked and crispy. And while my burger was tasty, it could have used a more flavor or some type of magical schmear on the bun.
Overall, it was a good burger - but this place is now in competition with a handful of really great burger joints. Here's hoping they turn out some delicious bites to fend off that fierce competition.
