| - The walls in the bathrooms have toy robots and other childish moments. The restaurant itself is in a building too expensive any of us normal people could live in. Target market: expensive children.
The process of ordering at MOOYAH was really easy. The person at the register had a real opinion about food and was pleasant despite my normal all-too-inquisitive question process. The short menu has its highs, and the burger itself had just a few options. Cheese is listed twice because the clientele here is unlikely to realize that is a real option. Dummies are welcome here!
I may sound negative to you if you don't like the idea of being a child, but you're the one looking up a yelp review for a burger place that was built from a template. I can't say I'm any more mature than you.
If you've suffered through four paragraphs of this I suppose you are entitled to know how I felt about the burger. The patty is smashed, which is great. I think the plancha could have been a bit hotter for more sear - you are getting a well done burger anyways, so like, we might as well go full char. I think to double down on this well-done-anyways mentality I would be stoked to have a *smaller* patty and triple patty burger as the large option. I mean, to me the choice between single vs double is really "sensible" vs "celebration of gluttony". I would even take the same overall weight of burger if I could get more sear.
The burger options are absurdly long. This is where it reminds me of Five Guys.
The part where it reminded me of McDonalds was the secret sauce. And the corporateness of it all. The employees all seemed relatively happy, and the food was better than McD, so like, the only sad part here was my wallet.
I have devoted all the time that I wanted to on this review. I know it's not perfect, but hey, it's here and at least one of you dorks will message me about this so win win
***They have malt vinegar and tiny totally out of place cups to let you put that malt vinegar in. I very much 100% respect this manuever by management. Aesthetics are cool, but hey, we need that malt vinegar even if you can't get the MOOYAH(tm) paper cup.
