| - My first reaction was menu and thought this is probably what a Five Guys look like if they decided to expand their limited menu and add alcohol. The location is has nice decor inside but an odd glass wall in front of the entrances. When you give the order and pay, you just grab a seat and wait with the number up; the staff was generally very nice and quickly fetched things I forgot, like a straw.
I ordered a Carolina style Burger (this is similar to the Roadside Rally, except I built my own with Mustard, Onions, Slaw, and Chili) with tater tots and a chocolate milk shake; I also got water, which they give you a small clear plastic cup. The wait time is average. The meal arrives and its a tad underwhelming; the burger looks cute in its burger diaper and I had exactly two dozen tater tots... I kind of expected more from what I paid for; so its surprisingly more expensive than Five Guys.
One pet peeve , after I order a burger, the lady asked if I want cheese with that. Cheese didn't slip my mind, I didn't want cheese, thus I didn't mention it. I know they are trying to up-sale here, but it annoys me.
Taste wise, the tater tots were so-so, despite being slightly over cooked and a tad salty. The chocolate milk shake was good, but I have gotten more from other Burger places (i.e. Burger 21 and Bad Daddy's). Sadly, the burger was a major disappointment, considering it is a burger restaurant. The burger was tough and salty, the bun was equally tough. The condiments that came with it had nearly no flavor whatsoever; only making my burger diaper bulge the other end after a couple of bites. I sadly could not finish the burger, it simply was not good.
Overall, I give this one star because this is a major fail for a burger restaurant serving an overpriced sub-par burger... their is no excuse. Their are better burger places nearby; American Roadside should be avoided.
