| - With the signs, sidewalk chalkboard, and notes on the menu advertising their use of non-GMO, grass-fed meat products, you know what kind of restaurant this will be.
There is a heavy emphasis on organic ingredients and calorie-informed eating. With a focus on the extension beyond the regular beef patty into a wider range of game, all meats are on the lean side. If you're so inclined, there's a nutritional information sheet at every table by the condiments holder.
The menu starts with larger format sharing plates of side dishes, averaging $11. On the flip side of the menu, you'll find these sides for a single persons' portion for roughly $3. Above these are the burgers, both pre-built and customs build options available.
Today I had the Fire Quacker, the duck burger on a white brioche bun, with a side of duck bacon and dill pickles. I really regret getting the duck bacon - for almost $3 for 4 thin round slices, I didn't feel it was worth the money at all. I like my bacon nice and heavy, but this one was more like a lean meat from a charcuterie sample. The price was just way too steep for what you get.
The dill pickles from a 101-year old recipe were OK. I had expected a couple spears or full pickles, but they actually came in slices (the kind that you'd find sandwiched in your burger). Not the best I've had, but also not the worst. Quite vinegary.
All in all, I'd say it's OK if you're looking for a healthy type of burger but you'll likely be disappointed if you're looking for that old charcoal grill burger taste.
