| - First, I will qualify this review with the fact that we have a couple of these in Austin. We went there and were not impressed enough to even write a review. The food was OK (better than this experience), but the service was HORRENDOUS! We had a really bad server. So, why did we try this location? One word..location. We were hungry for a beer and burger and this was the closest thing at the time.
So, I tried the lamb burger (labeled GREEK on the menu).TRIED! It was so overcooked and flavorless. If that was really Tzatziki sauce and not just lumpy jarred mayo blessed with a little sour cream, I apologize. There were two small pieces of pickled onion on the whole sandwich. Also, I know I need to remember that I'm back living in my beautiful desert, but does all the meat have to taste like it's just hiked up Camelback?!?!?! SERIOUSLY!
I was torn on whether or not to order fries and wish I didn't. Several reviews have mentioned that they get soggy pretty fast. I thought they would taste better than fast food restaurant fries, but they didn't. The beer I had, which was a seasonal I don't remember, was cold and good! Didn't save the food, but helped. B had the Good Cause burger (good man!) and added bacon. He thought it was OK, but didn't like the BBQ sauce. This shocked me. He would bathe in BBQ sauce. He said it definitely wasn't one of the best burgers. They served his favorite Kiltlifter, so a couple of pints later, the burgers packed in take home boxes, that we knew we probably wouldn't touch again, didn't look so forlorn.
The service was OK, but not spectacular and fun, like at so many other burger bar type places we've been. Football season is coming, and we need to find hangouts here and places to pick up a good burger to watch at home! Probably not going to be Hopdoddy.
