I'm here to give an honest, unbiased review of The Burgers Priest. Let's be honest..this place has developed a mini cult in the past few years. Today was my first time trying it as I finally caved in after years.
And I wasn't impressed.
Here's why:
I went in going in with zero expectations. First of all my waitress was very snappy acting as if I should already know the holy lord Burgers Priest menu like the back of my hand. Anyways, I ended up settling for the priest (patty with the option(deep fried "mushroom" with cheese) and a regular cheese burger with fries.
The Burgers are heavily under seasoned..there was no mushroom in the option..just gloopy bland cheese..with some type of coating.. I literally couldn't taste a thing on the burger..not even the tomato or onion ..the burger is juicy but it's so unappetizingly fatty and bland!!! I liked the softness of the burger and how it kinda disintegrates as you eat it..but it was lacking a lot of texture and flavour. The ingredients were very very fresh.
On the other hand the fries are what saved the day..they are double fried..like how you get your fries in Quebecois poutine..crispy on the outside, sweet and creamy in the middle. Loved them. They are literally what saved the meal for me as I would've been pretty disappointed otherwise.
The burgers are forgettable and bland. There's just too much hipster hype surrounding it.
And that's my 2 cents.
