| - After hearing some raving reviews from others in the neighbourhood, I was anxious to try this place. But sadly, I was disappointed, and found it to be vastly overrated. Driving up, I was initially impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the place... until I made a visit to the ladies' room, where I was actually a bit disgusted - it didn't feel clean at all, and I always go by the principle "if the public spaces aren't clean, imagine what the back rooms are like". No soap to wash my hands, either! (And I'd say that's pretty important before you pick up a burger to eat it!).
I was completely disappointed by the burger - no one explained to me that it was not beef (I should note that the menu board was not working correctly, so perhaps if it had of been, I would have figured that out in advance?) - and so while I was eating it, I was trying to figure out why my hamburger had such a white-ish/pink-ish tinge to it. I only NOW understand that it was not beef after reading some of the other online reviews. I suspected it might have been pork, but how would I have known that it was a pork/veal combo?
I was surprised to find that there is not an option to get cheese as a topping - but I did actually enjoy the sundried tomato and cream cheese spread. The bun was also quite nice. But I had a hard time enjoying the meal, considering my unclean hands, the mystery meat, and knowing the price we'd paid.
I won't be rushing back! Instead, I'd rather have Gourmet Burger Co.
