| - I finally got my fried pickles! Brgr is bustling with the young professional crowd. Clean modern decor with booths and swirling metallic wall art, a place to mingle with friends, and dim lighting that always adds an air of privacy.
We arrived around 6:30pm on a Saturday evening, I was prepared for open tables but we were put on the, hold for it... 1hour wait! Wow! Isn't Brgr Pop pop pop POPULAR. We decided to wait for the rest of our party and have a seat at the bar. The beer selection is interesting, I had a Guinness draft, usually my beer of choice because it is supposed to be the "Healthy beer" right? Plus it tastes great with savory grilled burgers!
The rest of our party was running late so when they came to get us and they had not yet arrived they kept us at the top of the list. We struck up a conversation with the bartender while we people watched. One of the managers was walking around like he was some sort of FBI agent. He was Intense and had us giggling!
John was the bartender, formerly from Ceviche downtown, so so happy to run into him because he makes a mean Caipirinha. Best in the burgh that I have tried. When warmer weather roles around I'll be packing my sugar in the Raw packets(they only have simple syrup at Brgr...Ick) and caling ahead to see if John is there to muddle me that tart, exhilarating summer drink.
The couple we were meeting are great friends of the executive Chef so we were sat instantly and ordered right away. I had the fried pickles as my starter. They came out in a short metal cup. They come with 2 pickles one big, one small. Hmm not very impressive. I took a photo. My 1st fried pickle experience didn't have me begging for more. I let everyone sample them and our couple ordered them too. I thought the grease in the batter was slightly off.
My Brgr knocked my socks off! Wow really bees knees! Juicy, tender, with the hint of that smokey char grilled taste. Braised beef short ribs on the "Button Buster" white cheddar, crispy onion perfection. Fries sold separately, they have a truffle cheese wiz and a truffle aioli (the aioli not on the menu) that had me licking my fingers! Must have!
Our friends had the Kobe beef brgr and next time I would like to try, possibly with fois gras! Interesting.
For dessert I sampled the Chocolate Covered Cherry shake, it tastes exactly like those old time chocolates given to grandma. I was so full that I had no room for dessert!
I can't wait to bring J and sit on the rooftop patio!
Notes: Valet parking $3, Get there early because it's busy, ask for separate checks beforehand because they didn't want to split them afterward
