I really wanted to like this place after reading the back story about how this place came to fruition but sadly, it's not to be.
I will start by saying the place is generally clean, has a neat order system where after you place your order, you are given a disc that vibrates and lights up when your meal is ready. Also, the poutine is quite delicious.
Where this place lacks could be solely on personal preference, how the meat is cooked. I prefer a medium-rare to medium cooked patty and on a flat-top grill. I found the burger dry and overcooked and probably done on a grill. Since they also raise and source the meat, they should stand by the quality of their product and not need to overcook it unless the customer requests it.
In the end, the burger patty was quite bland and served on a cibatta bun when I think it would have been better served on an actual hamburger bun. I guess since I'm paying $10 for my burger, might as well make it seem gourmet.
I did have the Highland burger and do like a good Kobe burger so there is the chance that I will be back to give it a try. I just won't be in a rush to do it.
