| - This place is connected to a gas station. When I walked in there was only one guy there who had to both take orders and cook food. The menu is pretty simple with only a few items written out on a chalkboard. I wouldn't say that the place is dirty but doesn't feel especially clean either if that makes any sense. I like hole-in-the wall joints so I really want to rate this place high, but when I go over the pros and cons I don't think I'll be able to. Lets see...
I had a double bacon cheeseburger and fries. I wanted onion rings but they were out.
Pro
1. The bun - I think it's a brioche bun. Very soft and holds up to the meat very well.
2. Good selection of toppings and condiments- fried egg, grilled onions, bacon, chipotle mayo (good stuff), mushrooms, avocado.
3. Fresh cut fries - can definitely tell they aren't frozen.
4. Food handling - Since there was only one guy there doing everything, he started cooking my food, then another customer came in and he took his order and payment. As nonchalantly as I could I watched to see if the guy would wash his hands before continuing to cook my food... he did... which was much appreciated :)
5. Attention to detail - I noticed 2 things that were kind of impressive when watching him cook my burger. First, he made it a point to put the cheese on top of the burger patties as they were finishing on the flat top grill so that it could begin melting. Then once the grilled onions were done he lifted the cheese up and slid the onions underneath it. I'm not sure that this made a difference in how the burger tasted but I thought it was unique and I appreciated the attention to detail. Secondly, when putting the burger together, he took the time to stack the patties, lettuce, and toppings neatly so the burger looked good.
Cons
1. Meat - The quality of the meat just didn't seem that great. Didn't have the beefy flavor that you want from a burger and the texture didn't seem like it was great quality.
2. Fries - Thought the fries are fresh cut, they were very soggy and had little to no crunch at all. They don't have the double frying technique down at all.
Overall: The burger was good but not great. The first couple bites were good but by the time I was halfway through it the quality of the meet started to disappoint a bit. I liked the chipotle mayo and the bun. The fries were seasoned well but definitely too soggy. I'd give this place another shot because they seem to have some good things going for them and if they improve on their weaknesses I think the can be pretty good.
I'd give them 3.5 stars if I could, but 4 stars would just be too high. So 3 it is.
