| - I made it a point to go for a quick take out lunch since I've passed by this place a few times and have always been enticed by its clean cut exteriors and logo. It's got very clean cut interiors too: dark wooden floors, high table and a few regular tables (although cramped together) and interesting choice of lighting: encased bulbs the likes of which you see in tunnels or mines!
Since it was my first time ordering, I was a bit unsure but after consulting the cashier settled on the Crazy Burger combo, since I like my food on the spicier side. I like that the drink in the combo can be either pop or a bottle of water, unlike Subway which charges extra for getting a bottled drink. But prices here are a bit higher, $15 (tip and tax) vs. $10 at Subway (sub of the day combo).
Anyways, the food came out fast ( the cashier expedited my order!) and very neatly packed. I really enjoyed my fries, they were hand cut, thick, with skin on, and lightly salted to perfection. They could've been a bit crispier, but perhaps being packed up tightly could have taken a toll.
The burger was very good. From the outset, I tasted the smokiness: BIG CHECK. It was very compact, none of the toppings were oozing out: another check. The overall combination of flavors was pleasing.
Some things that they can improve on: The patty itself could be a bit less cooked. Waaay too much bbq sauce made the burger taste sweeter than advertised; the hot peppers didn't stand a chance against the sweet onslaught. I couldn't taste the chipotle mayo. I only tasted the cheese on my last few bites, maybe it had gotten dislodge on my way back? Next time I go, I will ask them to load up on the hot quotient of this very filling burger. I am also excited to try out their lamb burger!
I am going with 3.5 stars.
