| - So over the weekend, I got the chance to sit in at this resto. I've gotten take out before and because of that, things were a bit soggy because it and less crunchy (onion rings) so it wasn't a good way to review the restaurant as a whole.
We had about 14 people and it was a Saturday night so it was pretty busy.
Decor/Ambiance:
W Burger Bar definitely puts effort into making it more trendy and modern vs. a traditional pub or burger joint. I guess you could say this is an upscale burger joint. And the "bar" designation is correct to a certain extent where you can order some drinks and sit at the bar counter (from what I recall). But seriously, if you want to go a bar to drink, this place is too small for that type of crowd. Like a bar though, this place is loud. Don't expect to have deep intimate conversations here unless you want to to upgrade to a potential yelling match.
Food:
**Best [I've ever had] ONION RINGS segway**
Most people that I talk to always comment on the onion rings of this place being wicked and I will vouch for all those ppl that it is indeed true. This place has probably one of the best onion rings in the city (comparable to Ruths Chris, Turtle Jacks). The way they're breaded is what makes it different because it's not a traditional beer batter. Also, did I forget to mention that they're huge?!
**Best [I've ever had] ONION RINGS END**
The burgers themselves are probably average in my books. The first time I went, I ordered a Kobe Beef burger because I figured I might as well since I don't go often. The second time I went, I ordered a bison burger. It's unfortunate to say, that both burger meats taste the same to me. So, in my mind, the Kobe Beef is not worth the 20$. I do appreciate their large selection of toppings and even a fried egg!
Both times, I've opted for the fried egg and bacon along with other condiments. These are good burgers but not spectacular by far. My friend said the Chicken burger was good so maybe it's worth trying other meats like salmon as well to see for yourself.
Service:
As it was a busy night, I would expect things to be a bit chaotic. I do appreciate what these people have to go through sometimes and that waiting on tables can be a bit stressful. Unfortunately though, the service was really slow and our orders were forgotten a lot.
Overall:
This is a good place to go to if you're in the area and want to eat a burger. Because in that vicinity, it's probably the only place to go to but if you're not in the mood to wait or want to be more low key, you should probably choose something else. But if you're looking for a lively night out accompanied by burgers, then by all means!
