| - This is hands down my favorite buger in town. I've been to Burger Bar, Fuddruckers, etc. but the meat, toppings, fries and rings, and shakes all make the grade here and cost a little less as well.
The fries/onion rings basket mix is a favorite to share between my boyfriend and I, and with the cheese sauce dip we couldn't ask for anything better. The other sauces were okay, we weren't too thrilled with them, but the fries and rings can stand on their own without the sauces so we're okay with just the cheese sauce.
The meat patty itself could also stand on its own, and it's always so fresh and tender that it still falls apart as you bite into it. You can actually taste the meat flavor in it, which I think is something of a rare find for burgers these days that are drenched in salt and sauces. Not that I don't like those too, but this patty is definitely the kind that you savor and enjoy. Furthermore, the toppings are to die for and if I could have them all on my burger at once, I'd totally be game to try it just to see if it's physically possible.
The milkshakes, which I guess pretty much everyone else agrees with, were to die for and are customizable to your own taste. My boyfriend has gotten pretty good with the flavor experimenting and we've had everything from a chocolate-covered pretzel shake (which actually had crushed pretzels in it), to a birthday cake shake that forced images of an insane birthday clown into my mind. Fun, exciting, and dangerous if not controlled properly.
The reason why I'm giving this place 3 stars is because of the service. And from reading the previous reviews, I think I'm the only one who may feel this way. I don't know if it's just coincidence, bad luck, or bad timing, but it seems that everytime we pay Cheeburger Cheeburger a visit, the service we receive gets progressively worse and worse. It wasn't bad at first, and we're well aware that it takes at least 15 minutes for the food to come out because it's freshly made, but for one person's burger to come 30+minutes after the rest of our table's food has come out is ridiculous. So is the notorious lack of drink refills, the long waits in between giving the wait staff our check and getting it back, the forgotten drinks and other side orders, etc. I don't think that we're a very demanding table either, since I've worked in food service, and we're pretty frequent diners around town, but it really spoils the experience of the food when the service is bad. Which is really too bad, because I personally think Cheeburger has the best burgers in town hands down.
Sorry for the ranting at the end, but I hope that the service improves soon because I keep wanting to bring people back with me to show them the glory of the Cheeburger, but remembering about how bad the service was makes me think twice about doing so.
