| - Juicy Beefy Goodness
I can't lay claim to Chris "burger baron" P.'s bona fide burger-bonanza breadth, but I've had a few burgers in my time. This was the best one I can remember.
I was treated well from the minute I walked in the door, which itself took some effort - use the middle door instead of trying and retrying the side ones in front of a crowd (like I did). Had a good laugh and a warm welcome from two staff waiting on the inside before catching up with waiting friends Kat "the app for that" F. and the aforementioned burger baron.
I was greeted by the lovely and charming Vharay who advised on burger selection and beer offerings before provisioning a promptly pulled pint and a business card (as I had suggested that she didn't really have one). I ordered the Oh Boy Classic with 3 Cheese combo, with a half-and-half fries and onion rings (it's not on the menu, although I think it should be, so don't count on this). They have Mill Street Tankhouse on tap, and I indulged.
The burger came OEM with lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and a good slice each of cheddar, swiss and havarti. Aftermarket options exist, but the stock version sounded good enough already.
And it was.
8 ounces of AAA ground chuck, grilled to perfection and juicier than a Georgia peach in full season. The guacamole had a creamy texture and flavour that added a high note to the gooey cheesy goodness, yet somehow through all that rich flavour the patty still managed to shine through and remind me why I was there in the first place. I was in heaven for the three minutes that burger lasted in my hands.
The onion rings were fantastic - just a really well-made, classic ring. Fries were thin-cut, which Is great for flavour, but they get cold fast (eat them first). They were also perfectly salted.
Interesting fact: The walls in the bathroom are painted with blackboard paint.
