| - Stopped by here for a quick bite to eat before walking around the mall with friends. I've always wanted to try the quick take-out window and see how Sam Fox does "fast food" haha. The four of us bought two orders of sliders (4) and two orders of fries.
About 5 minutes later they called our orders and we walked up to grab them. I liked their packaging, all white from the bag and napkins to the box that the sliders were in.
The fries were pretty good. Cooked just fine, perfectly crispy on the outside. There was a nice touch though.... they were seasoned perfectly. I had mine without ketchup. Working at In-N-Out for 5 years had taught me that a perfectly seasoned fry doesn't need ketchup, and Fox nailed this one. The larger grain, kosher salt was the finishing touch on the fries.
The sliders were simple, and... alright. The bun was great. You could tell it was made in-house and fresh. It was light, and a little sweet. The beef was fresh and tasty. The toppings of lettuce, grilled onions and cheddar cheese were good. Simple, but good. However the 1000 Island dressing was just that... From the culinary experts that Sam Fox has stashed in his kitchens, this tasted like 1000 Island from a bottle that was purchased at Safeway. It's not hard to make 1000 Island dressing, or something similar, and I kind of expected that. The sauce reminded me of a Big Mac, seriously. That's not meant to be a huge insult on Modern Burger, but it's what it reminded me of. The rest of the burger reminded me of a mini version of an In-N-Out burger, which is great.
Two sliders, one order of fries and a water: $8.99. Not bad.
If I were a mall employee, I would probably eat this a few times a week. Also, if I was shopping and wanted to avoid the masses at the food court, I would definitely stop by Modern Burger.
Concept/Service: 4 Stars
Burger: 3 Stars
Fries: 4 Stars
I'll be back when I'm hungry and in the mall.
