I don't proclaim to be a burger connoisseur but I have been known to go out and seek good burger joints. I first saw South St. Burgers when Cross Iron Mills first opened. I had always wanted to check it out but never had a chance until tonight.
South St. Burger is a subsidiary of New York Fries, in fact they server NYF as their fries when you order a combo. But, I'm not here to talk about the fries, let's get down to the burger!
I had a normal hamburger on a whole wheat bun. I think that the bun really made the burger. The patty was good, but the bread was really delicious. I was amazed at the amount of customization that they offered (very reminiscent of Harvey's), a variety of different sauces you can put on and many different veggies. I would definitely recommend the garlic mayo!
The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is the service. Now when I go to a burger joint I don't expect top notch service like I would at a Four Seasons hotel. But, I am dropping $9 on a burger, the least the staff could do is smile and let me know to take my tray down to the customization area. The staff merely tossed the metal pan on top of the glass cabinet and walked away. No mention to me that I need to slide down or anything, not only that, they forgot my drink. I had to line up all over again just to get my drink because I didn't want to cut in line.
