| - The smell outside was amazing and the taste delicious. I think the church theme is cute, complete with offering plate for tips. It was quite evident the ingredients were fresh. When I go to normal fast food restaurants, it is out of desperation, and I usually have to force myself to eat the food. Conversely, this was fast and fresh. An enjoyable meal that I wanted to eat. And yet, the cost to portion situation is lacking.
I don't have a large appetite at all. I almost always have to take food home from restaurants. Yet, I just made my inaugural visit to Burger Priest, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, I am still hungry. I just ordered a regular cheeseburger and a strawberry milkshake. The regular cheeseburger is supposed to be 4 oz, but perhaps that's before it's cooked?
They warned us that the burgers weren't that big and if hungry, we should probably get a double. I didn't feel that hungry at the time of ordering; in fact, I may actually be more hungry now than I perceived myself to be then if that's possible. Personally, I'm a fan of the small burger. In its compact form of thinly sliced beef when added to a nice bun, cheese, and ample toppings, the burger is culinary fung shui. That fung shui is easily thrown off by things like adding an extra patty. It throws off the meat to toppings ratio. Also of note, they put lettuce and tomato on against my wishes, and after taking them off, the amount of pickles and onion felt sad and insufficient. But back to the main rant... The humble cheeseburger is delicious but small, yet still manages to be $6! It's $4.50 for quite a small shake.
Together, hubby and I had a cheeseburger, double bacon burger, chili cheese fries, a canned Coke, and 2 shakes, which cost $35. Yes, food is expensive here, and we could have basically eaten at The Works for that. The quality of the meat is likely not as good as at this place, but I would be full.
Updated: I have since discovered the Option. I was hesitant initially because it sounded like it would be too much food and it is fried, but eventually decided to give it a try so I could come here for more than a snack.... Plus portions seem to run on the small size. The Option is cheesy goodness sandwiched between portobello mushrooms with a fried exterior. I can now come here and dine happily for about $8+HST.
Oh, you should also know that while the burgers themselves are epic, the fries and shakes are nothing to write home about.
