A friend suggested Lush Burger after seeing it mentioned on "Check Please" and although there were many unfavorable reviews we headed out to see for ourselves. Got there around 11:30 and walked in with no one there to greet customers. I did notice the sign that says "please wait to be seated" was turned around and the podium was also pushed in a corner. Someone behind the bar did finally acknowledge us and told us to sit wherever we wanted. Daryn was our server and she was very friendly. Drinks were served immediately. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it did take a bit before we got it but it was very tasty and the two dipping sauces were excellent. All three of us ordered burgers. Two were the Philly and one the Bella Angus and we all requested medium well. Two of us ordered the fries ($2 extra) and the other stayed with the standard chips. The burgers arrived within a reasonable time just as we were finishing the calamari which was perfect. One of the burgers was still very pink in the middle and unfortunately my friend that got that one hates pink or red meat but opted NOT to send it back but did tell Daryn afterwards that the meat was not cooked to order. She said she would pass it on to the cook. My other friends burger was cooked perfectly. Mine was a mixture of some pink and some well done. The chips were very good and crisp. One portion of fries were very nice. My portion were the bits and pieces of what could be the leftovers at the bottom of the bag as most were only one to less than one inch long. Some were crisp and some limp. We all agreed the meat itself had no flavor even with the cheese, onions, mushrooms and all the other condiments that came with them. We also noted that the bottom of the burger bun was cold only to find out all three of our plates were actually cold! What restaurant serves hot food on cold plates?
The staff seemed to be efficient but they were REALLY young and looking into the kitchen when the doors would swing open so were the cooks which is obviously the reason for the food flaws as there is no professional chef on board. We will definitely not return to this restaurant as there are many other burger places out there that serve a tastier burger.
