| - Went there on a Monday afternoon with the wife for the first time. We were seated quickly but we aimlessly looked at the menu for about 4 or 5 minutes before our waitress stopped by. She asked if we had been there before (we hadn't) and then haphazardly explained the menu ("You can order one of the pre-designed burgers or make your own by filling out this form.") and the concept. They have all these different rubs and sauces and such. Some of them are self-explanatory but then there are others that you have no clue what is in them (such as the angel dust). Having never been there and the fact that my wife is pregnant and can't have gluten or lots of sugar/carbs (and I explained this to the waitress), we had a lot of questions. Our waitress wasn't very happy about that.
As for the food, I ordered the topless bison burger with horseradish cheddar, the truffle aioli, the bayou cajun rub, pickles, onions, mixed greens and banana peppers with the quinoa salad. The wife ordered the hormone free beef burger with white american, mayo, lettuce, pickles and angel dust and the organic mixed greens (salad). The bison burger was good, between the cheese and rub it had a nice kick to it. There was so much mixed greens that it was impossible to see the burger. The quinoa salad was kind of bland, if not for the bell peppers and goat cheese. The beef burger was good, but kind of your standard burger. The wife really would have liked to have pepper jack cheese instead of the white american, but the pepper jack isn't offered.
All-in-all, we felt it was an underwhelming experience, considering the price and the hoopla associated with the place. We probably won't go back again. Oh, and make sure that you pay with something other than the Discover Card, they don't accept it.
