| - Burgatory is an easy place to come to. I have never had a bad experience here. The service is always great and the food..AMAZING. I think that the only problem is the wait, but that could more so be because so many people want to come here. I recently was here for happy hour and I was pleasantly surprised at their happy hour specials. I would say that happy hour might be the way to go if you want drinks and appys. I have had a lot of their burgers but these are the ones that I recently tried out.
Drinks:
Strawberry Basil Shag: Vintage Vodka Cocktail with a tasty combination of Fresh Berries & Basil. This one goes down way too easy. This one does go down super easy. It was delish. I would love to just have it in a water bottle and take it on a nice tropical vacation. Yum. It was fresh and not too sweet. Perfectly paired with appys and burgers!
Southern Charm: Bourbon, Vodka & Black Tea muddled with Fresh Mint & Lemon. Finished with Peach Bitters. I love a good tea boozy drink. Tea's are my thing and this one was no joke. YUMMY. I think that the fresh mint and lemon were a great addition to the drink. I would order this one again, and again, and...again.
Appetizers:
Honey Habanero Wings: A great combination of sweet & heat. Buffalo Sauce & Bourbon BBQ available for those more traditionally minded. These were fried to perfection. I would have liked a little more sauce on them but now I know to ask for extra for next time. They were hot, so do not be fooled. I hate when some places say habanero wings and they taste like cayenne, these ones are hot so just watch out.
Pommes Frites: Cut Fresh by Hand All Day, Every Day. Truffled Gorgonzola. A must have addition to any visit to Burgatory. Do not skip, do not pass, do not think eh, not today. Just order them and be done with it. They are great and you will be messing up your entire experience here if you do not order them!!
Burgers:
Piggy Butter & Jelly: Cajun Dusted Ground Beef & Ground Bacon Burger with White American Cheese, Candied Bacon, Bread & Butter Pickles, Peanut Butter & Habanero Jelly. As disgusting as this sounds this was probably my favorite burger on the menu. It was so weird it was good. I loved how the taste really melded together to make something wonderful. Try it out, even if you order it for the table and everyone takes a bite. Just try it out and go from there. You will not be disappointed. And if you are at least you can say you got to try out a burger that has pb and j on it!
Elk Gone Wild: Diablo Dusted Grass Fed Elk Burger, Smoked Gouda, Caramelized Onion Marmalade & Bacon Jam with Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette tossed Arugula. This burger is spicy! The diablo dust is not a joking matter. The only thing I can say is that while this burger was good, elk is super dry because it is so lean. I was not thrilled with the taste of it and thought they could have cut it with something else to bring a little moisture in. I would probably not order this again. While good, it wasn't so great that it is on my must try again list.
I like it here and you should too! This is a great place to grab drinks or a quick meal before a movie or to go on a nice date. I would highly recommend coming during happy hour and taking advantage of all the good deals. Maybe I will see you here!
