| - Taking its name into consideration, BRGR has surprisingly bad burgers. I've been here twice, and both times I've left underwhelmed and disappointed. I've noticed a trend with this place and Burgatory where there is a lot of talk about the fanciful and impressive burgers, but what I want with a burger is just delicious food. Don't get me wrong-- I enjoy fussy burgers with lots of various toppings, but the actual beef has to good.
Both times I've order burgers here, I've asked for medium-rare, and every time it comes out well-done. The fries the first time were delicious, but the second time I came here, they were lukewarm, over-salted, and dry as if they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for too long.
I think the two things that make BRGR a worthwhile trip are the alcoholic milkshakes and the rooftap terrace (only open in the Spring and Summer, I believe). I doubt I'll ever get food here again, but if some friends want to relax under the sun/stars and get fat/drunk on some shakes, I'd suggest BRGR.
Random sidenote - did BRGR really pay for the rights to play the Rolling Stones song "Gimme Shelter" on their website? I'm skeptical.
