| - Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink):
1 star: Never again.
2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back.
3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad.
4 stars: Very good, would definitely return.
5 stars: A favorite, one of the best.
Really solid burger, even if you don't get a specialty burger. Though not every burger here fits the bill, the best burgers are all about balance, and for the most part, this place has it.
1/4 lb. of meat in each burger, not too much, not too little for the square but bun which can stand up to the beef juices and other toppings. The standard burger here has the usual toppings along with pickled onions, which adds a nice acidity. The beef wasn't overly cooked and again, great balance between bun, meat, and toppings.
I ordered the Country Fried burger, and it was tasty. Fried onions were the only topping, the burger was sauced with a thin, country gravy. Could have stood to use another topping to cut the richness of the fried onions and the meat and gravy, but all in all, it's a filling and satisfying burger.
I've had the brulee burger on a previous visit and it is is good, but I don't think it's the best burger they have. Though with the salty-sweet combo, I can see why it's a crowd favorite.
I ordered a special, the Golden Chips, which is the house chips with hot sauce, ranch, chicken, jalapenos. Messy and tasty. The chips, just plain, were good enough to order on their own as well. Crispy and thick enough to stand up to all the toppings.
The fries here are also above average.
This place is a little divey-er than your typical strip mall joint, but the quality of the burger that comes out of here belies the interior. Worth the drive to PV.
