| - First let me say that I haven't been to Heck's in over 25 years. I loved Heck's back in the day. This time, just so-so. We had a larger party with a reservation. We were seated promptly and they willingly added an extra chair when we had one more show up. Wait staff was friendly and attentive for the most part. We had to wait a little longer than I would have expected to place orders but it wasn't a big deal since our party was large and having drinks.
Onto the burgers... for $10+ a burger one would expect to get an amazing burger and or an amazing presentation. My Avon burger was OK, but not the best burger that I've ever had and the fries in the little stainless steel cup.... kinda cold. Menu says" The Avon Burger
Balsamic candied onions, blue cheese, truffled potato sticks, baby
arugula $12" I was hoping for big, overflowing with caramelized onions and bleu cheese, a mouth watering piece of grass fed beef, nodda.. nope, just another overpriced hamburger. The truffle potato sticks looked like something out of can. Nothing else to say-- it was pretty nondescript.
My dining companion had the Burger Au Poivre -
Worcestershire sauce, peppercorn, grilled onions, sour cream $11. It too was a bit of a disappointment.
On the upside, the desserts were large and amazing. The Flour-less Chocolate Torte with Crème Anglaise, caramel sauce, spicy bacon brittle was thick and dense and chock full of chocolate deliciousness. At $8 a bit on the steep side for dessert but plant to split between two people. The other folks at the table got the Apple Cobbler and the Brownie Sundae which also were hefty portions enough for two.
What a bummer. Hecks had been so good for a burger. Maybe just a dessert place now.. :-(
