| - So my wife and I wanted to get a good cheeseburger and some fries, we normally go to Paradise Burger Co, Red Robin, In and Out, Five Guys, or Gordon Bersch, but decided we wanted to try something different. So I jumped on Yelp and searched for some burger joints in our area. That led me to Aioli Gourmet Burgers. They are located off Shea and the 101. The place seemed pretty clean, and kinda had a diner feel to it. You walk up to the counter place an order and the food gets delivered to your table. So we ordered the Pretzel Bites, loaded fries, white truffle Swiss burger, and the aioli burger and shared a strawberry milk shake. The food was pretty good, the burger had a lot of flavor and the fries were excellent, my only knock on the burger was the size of the meat to bun ratio. I found myself removing some of the bun, cause it was a little too much for the amount of burger meat. I think the burger was 1/3 of a lb or a little less. My wife enjoyed the pretzel bites, they were served piping hot with some sort of mustard and a cheese sauce, very tasty. The milk shake was probably our least favorite. It had a lot of whipped cream on top and was extremely thick. Drinking it out of a straw was damn near impossible, and needed a spoon to eat it. We let it melt down a little before we were able to drink it.
Overall, pretty solid place, I'm glad I ventured out and gave this place a try. They have a variety of burgers and the food was pretty good. The prices are reasonable, if you go to Zinburger or Delux, you'll drop 12 to 15 bucks on just the burger, so paying 8 or 9 bucks for a burger is pretty good. I would recommend this place for a good burger.
