| - To me, a place like this makes me a true Yelp follower.
Had an inkling for a burger at lunch today. Being new to the area, I was looking for an "in and out Burger". Fortunately, I did not find one immediately near buy. What I did find was that Yelp and Yelpers were telling me to I had to check out this place.
Yes, it was off my route by 1 1/2 miles. But if a burger shop can get 4 1/2 stars it must be worth the effort. I found about 10 parking spaces in the rear (no street parking as Indian School Rd is a busy one).
I entered the fully customized and highly decorated shop that can't be more than 20 feet across. The outside front patio/porch had counter space for 8 - 10 people. No tables - counters. The interior had space for another 8 - 10 people, with only 1 or 2 tables to speak of, the other spots were also counters with stools.
The menu is short, but to me that means they focus on what is important. You come for a burger, you will get a burger, no distracting other extras. Though they do offer wings, which I will try one day.
I was greeted by a guy who absolutely knows something about customer service. He greeted me as soon as I came in, handed me a menu, asked if I had questions and offered to help. He shared that they had a $5 special of bacon cheeseburger, fries and a canned drink. I took him up on it. He asked me what kind of cheese (at least 4 choices), there or to go, and my name.
He had me take a seat and he brought my burger and fries to my counter spot outside. He offered a few times a ranch dressing. I declined until I figured out it must be something special. he shared that they make their own buttermilk ranch dressing for the fries. I took him up on his offer. It was a fine addition to the fries (previously salted with seasoned salt).
The burger was good, it is a simple 1/3 lb. I did not notice a grilled taste, but he lettuce and tomato were fresh. The grilled onions were a plus.
I had a great burger and fries 1 star.
I had great customer service 1 star
I had a great value meal 1 star
I had a great visit to a quaint interesting business 1 star.
My only reservations are these:
The hours are only 10 AM - 4:20 PM (what am I going to do for dinner or late evening snacks)
Tight eating quarters - I was there at 11:20 and it was already filling up, what would I do on a Friday at 12:15
Small parking lot shared by other stores.
Next time I try the mushroom burger and the time after that I will try the Fat burger (two patties)
