| - now here is a place to recommend to your friends (but don't over recommend as I don't want to wait in long lines).
so continuing with my burger joint review:
I have been here probably 10-15 times total, so safe to say it is on my 'safe" list to satisfy the craving.
what I had: I usually have the all star burger here, as always with bacon and sauteed onions, as at all burger places so that I have a comparable burger base, so I am comparing apples to apples among restaurants. I added pickles, tomato, lettuce, onion, ketchup, home made sauce.
analysis: So overall, the product is quite good, and deserving of a 4 start rating. all in, ibut over and above, I think it is the best value by a wide margin in the city so it is a 5 star place. the reason being is that the burgers are delicious, the quality is consistent from day to day, and the price is unbeatable.
1. service: service was ok, as always. they are friendly, and the brothers in the joint are sort of dorky, but nice guys. some servers have attitude, but most are still ok.
2. price: around 13$, which is I great, considering this is a combo price, and i also got bacon which is extra.
3. taste: the bun is good, adequate amount of crisp (although depends on who makes it, can be hit or miss). patties are very good, fresh flavourful, juicy, never spongy. so over all as you bite into this thing, it is the perfect concoction of flavour, texture, fresshness, and juice, all of which make it killer tasting.
the fries are very good, best part is the type of grainy ketchup that they use, which is hunts I believe? but it is very very good (although I know it is quite subjective but its tastes superior to anything else I have had, even better than beer beestro fries.
4. portion size- I find it on the high medium, not quite large, size. which is a plus.
yes the place is rundown, but thats a part of the atmosphere, ok?
I havent been to marben or stock yards, but right now golden star is the run away joint, for which i sometimes drive 100km to!
go and get a burger there.. shouldn't be a disappointment
PS try a black cherry milkshake
