| - Burger Theory is a semi-upscale burger joint that's directly attached to the Holiday Inn hotel located off McDowell and 44th Street. We've passed by it several times and have always been curious, but reluctant to try it due to the mediocre reviews. Further research revealed that Holiday Inn actually owns it, operating as a chain connected to some of their hotels in other cities.
Well, it turns out those reviews are pretty accurate.
We stopped by during prime dining time on a Tuesday night and it wasn't very busy. I opted for the breakfast burger, which consists of an egg, bacon, cheddar, garlic mayo, and something called KGB sauce. Apparently, this is an acronym for "Killer Good Burger" sauce? My girlfriend ordered the "classic," which consists of American cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, the same sauce, and holding the pickles.
Everything was just standard-fare. My burger was okay, although if you're familiar with the area, you'll know that superior burgers can be found for identical prices. My girlfriend was annoyed that her bun started falling apart almost immediately, which is never a good sign.
French fries were fine, but again, simply fine is usually not enough to impress me these days. In short, don't go in here expecting anything special, because you won't find it.
Overall, I suppose if you're staying at the hotel, it's a respectable option for room service. But if you're out actually exploring the neighborhood for a good burger, this definitely wouldn't be my first choice.
Recommended for hotel guests only.
