| - I go by this place almost every week. Tonight was my first time stepping inside.
The layout confused me at first, I wanted to walk straight ahead after entering the doors. Then my friend waived me over to the left side where the menu was on the wall. The counter where you order is near that.
I like the simplicity of the menu. Either pick a burger that they've created or make up your own burger with different options/toppings. What I did not really like was that the server at the counter did not know what "gluten-free" meant. He had a very "wtf??" look on him. He went in the back to talk with the cook, then came back and brought out the employee handbook. We then flipped through it to find their allergen section.
Here's what I can remember from the handbook:
* Angus burgers are okay when ordered without the bun and without "fried toppings" like the haystack onions
* You might have issues with cross-contamination as everything is cooked on the same grill
* Fries are not okay and there's obvious cross-contamination in the fryer
* Premium and malt milkshakes are not okay (obvious reasons)
We were in a dangerous mood, so we stayed and ordered. My gluten-free friend ordered a Sin City burger, sans onions, sans bun. I got the "Rebel Special" all-American burger, sans bun. I also added an egg on top.
The burgers came out on a plate. I was expecting it to be wrapped in lettuce, so it would be more burger-like, but it was like an open-faced sandwich -- or rather, a hamburger steak with toppings. We were given forks and knives to eat it with. Should have taken a pic, but we were starving.
My "burger" was decent. It had cheese, pickles, raw red onions, and some ketchup/mustard. The egg went really well with the burger. My only gripe was that the burger meat itself was a tad over-seasoned. Not sure how my friend's burger was, but he scarfed it down quick.
The cost for all this was about $20 (including drinks and a regular shake). Worth it? I don't know. But it was nice to have a "gourmet" burger for once.
