Visited for lunch with old friends this past Friday - always wanted to try a Bobby Flay burger, so figured this was the right time!
The atmosphere is cool, a little loud, but overall fun - comfy waiting area up front at the bar, and not too long a wait for a table. The waitstaff was very attentive and helpful with recommendations. The breadbasket was fun, with the blue/yellow cornbread and jalapeno bread both of which tasted great.
I considered the green chile burger and the pork tenderloin sandwich, but settled on the Mesa Burger ($16) since it was the signature lunch dish and it was my first time here. The server asked how much pink I liked in the burger and it came out cooked perfectly. The horseradish mustard and grilled onions worked well together, and the southwestern fries were solid, soft and somewhat reminiscent (although not as good as) the fries at Five Guys. I tried my friend's chile relleno and that was nicely prepared as well.
All in all I was not disappointed, and would return for sure. Would really like to see his burger joint in LA or OC!
