| - I first saw Burger Studio about a month ago when I tried Scramble, which shares the parking lot in arenovated Sunnyslope shopping center. After brunch, we strolled down and picked up some menu's and were intrigued enough to come back sometime. We finally made it back. We arrived around 5:30p and there was one other party there waiting for food to go. We ordered quickly and sat down. Shortly after sitting down, one of the employees brought us an order in a bag even though we were clearly eating in. Somehow, the employee confused us with the people standing near the door ready to leave, but that's ok.
I ordered 'The Box', which is their standard 1/2 burger with cheese, a side (fries/rings) and a drink. I really like tater tots (so underrated...hard to mess up and generally consistently good wherever you have them) so I substituted tots instead of fries or rings. They also serve sweet potato fries if that is your thing. I was also thinking about getting a milkshake, but since they were $4.95 and I wasn't at Jack Rabbit Slim's, I decided to pass. Our order came out quickly and was brought to table by the chef/cook. The tots were plentiful and tasty. The burger was good, nice bun, good size, but I did think the consistency of the meat seemed weird (maybe b/c of the frozen patty as other reviews have indicated), but the taste was still good. What was weird about the burger is that the lettuce and tomato were underneath the burger. Not sure if that was the reason, but the burger did seem to 'slide out' of the bun on occasion.
Another weird thing about Burger Studio is that while NCAA tournament games are going on, they were showing women's softball or soccer? Seemed like a weird choice when a local team was playing at the time. After I got the employee's attention, the channel was changed super quick like.
Overall, I liked the Burger Studio. Good tots, good burger, but nothing overwhelming that puts it on my must-go-back list. I might, I might not. If the rankings supported half-stars, I would give Burger Studio a 3.5, but since it doesn't, I'm rounding down to 3.
