| - So folks, this was my first visit to Hero burger. This location has been around for about 4 months and had a licks burger at that location previously. It is right next to the jack astors and in the same plaza as the movies. I'll start with the good:
The say that their meat is free of hormones, antibiotics, etc (I didn't see anything about it not being frozen, however), clean, lots of seating, friendly staff. Open 11am to 11pm and interesting menu. I liked the idea that I could choose 4oz, 6oz, or 8oz for my burger and neat choices for cheese, condiments and sauces. You can even get a fried egg for 99 cents.
Ok so I am pretty picky about my burgers. The burger itself was probably a 2 out of 5. I like a burger that is ground chuck as opposed to a circular patty that looks and tastes like it has been frozen. It was fairly messy, soggy but I did enjoy the smoked white cheddar that came on it.
I got the 4 oz, hubby got the 6 oz and brother got the 8 oz which was just 2 of the patties that was on mine. The picture I took was of the 8oz. So 3 burgers and made one a combo so that we could get a poutine to try too came to 32 bucks. Note that the poutine was yummy. Good amount of cheese and gravy. Enjoyed the poutine much more than the burger.
The have milkshakes and what looked like blizzard type ice cream desserts on their menu but I didn't try them. They also gave a little serving of free soft serve ice cream since it was the long weekend.
All in all, I wouldn't go back but I gave it an extra star for choices, friendly staff and atmosphere. Wendy's is much better if you are looking for a fast food type burger.
