| - The Works works. *3.5 stars.
With old faithful Square Boy staring at me from across the street, I'll admit that I felt like a little bit of a traitor eating at the works, but it only hurt until I had my first bite.
It was nice to finally have a burger which actually had flavour in the beef itself, let alone with the bazillion topping choices. The patty itself was delish and cooked properly - some nice pink in the middle! Who knew? Unfortunately, the burger was a bit dry on my second visit, thus the 3.5 stars.
Though I appreciate the 75 types of burgers, I think the differences between most are so subtle that it's a waste of print. However, points for creativity.
The service was fantastic on both of my visits as well. Ice cold beer in the summer in front of me within minutes is the way to win my heart and loyalty and though the restaurant was jammed, we had lots of attention from various staff menus, all polite and all friendly.
It certainly isn't cheap, like Sheila B mentioned, but it can be a pretty damn good burger; definitely worth a visit if you're already in the hood and haven't been.
