| - Bring on the meat sweats!
Don't go here if you are afraid of grease or fat. Ohhhh, delicious fat.
Overall I think this is a very unique burger experience; certainly not your predictable "stuff on the wall" joint (though there is that) a la Friday's or Red Robin.
All orders come out at the same time. This place definitely feels built to move large numbers of people through its doors-- so I'd imagine the "no starters, just all at one time" rule is meant for keeping the customers seated, stuffed, and sold. Still, it was a little irritating when the wait was nonexistent and we just wanted some apps with our beers before we dug into our burgers.
The burgers were smaller than I expected, which I think is actually a good thing, considering how many calories are likely packed into such a tiny bundle. Bring it on, though!
At first I was sort of overwhelmed with all the burger choices, but then I began to notice a pattern-- many of the burgers have similar combinations of flavors. I ordered the Chef's Choice equivalent (with some cute name), and it came out with a good cross-section of everything I saw on the menu (salami, kraut, etc). Since there isn't anything I dislike, it was a low-risk choice for me.
The rosemary fries were awesome. Get them.
I didn't get the apple-pie/bacon/bourbon shake, but it's going in my belly next time... but maybe only after fasting for two weeks. Ha! I think a gym membership should come with your order.
