| - We ventured up to Harrisburg from the UC to see if we could beat the rush on a Friday night and check out the new sensation- based on previous drive bys and crowds on weekends we had seen- to hit the 'burg. The manager was friendly, the staff was also working hard to be welcoming to all the folks coming in and out and the menu seemed appealing. My first BIG recommendation is to avoid ANYTHING that has the John Boy and Billy sauce on it!!! I got the John Boy and Billy's Burger- with that sauce- but the menu stated that it also had mustard, onions, chili and onion rings on it - I don't care for bacon- so I thought it would be good since I was unfamiliar with what was inside of those JB&B bottles. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!! The whole burger was COMPLETELY overpowered and slathered with that sauce, which to me, was a disgusting, terribly sweet tasting and totally detracting condiment on a burger. My "chili" was a dollop under the patty ( I literally had to look for it since I NEVER tasted it) and I was just dismayed at how gross a burger it was. The onion rings were frozen so pretty tasteless as well. Upon reflection, I should have kept it simple and ate the Andy's Cheeseburger instead and I would recommend to all if you are going to eat here or any of the new locations coming into the UC and the rest of Charlotte to do the same.
The mister had the JB&B Chicken sandwich, which wasn't slathered as badly in this sauce- we agreed we couldn't imagine having the chicken wings with this sauce on them- but he said the chicken, while appearing to be a nice, thick chicken breast, had absolutely no taste. The frozen custard ( it's their dessert "thing") of the day was blue raspberry and they kindly gave us a taste sample. It certainly helped sway me from having a chocolate malt as it just tasted sweet. The other option used for just about everything dessert is the vanilla custard which, in fairness, I didn't taste. After the disaster that was the cheeseburger I decided I had been disappointed enough for one evening.
Maybe the intent is to be like an old time soda shop or maybe it is inspired by Johnny Rocket's- which is far better in my opinion. Either way, how you cannot have something as simple as a cheeseburger be good is beyond me. The two of us agreed we would have been better pleased had we 1) stayed at home and made our cheeseburger/chicken sandwich ourselves or 2) gone to Cook-Out or Steak & Shake. I think our whole bill was less than $14, so your taste buds/expectations may be different from mine and the prices don't make it cost prohibitive to try- just tread with caution. As for us, we came, we saw, we will not be back.
