| - Stopped in with a few friends the other evening with great trepidation. Some years ago I ate at one of the other locations and came away with food poisoning, so I have been avoiding them like, well, poison. I have since learned that location was not part of the On Tap group, that it was independently owned. So, to be fair, I should try a different location.
This time I decided to try something different: the Fried Ravioli Burger. A half pound burger covered with cheese-filled ravioli, marinara sauce and Mozzarella cheese. It was listed at $9.99, and came with fries.
The fries were nothing special. Hot, but limp. The burger was also a disappointment. The ravioli was crisp but the sauce just did not pair up well with the burger (too much oregano?). It could have been me, but I love Italian food and I love a good burger, so I thought they would match up nicely. I was wrong. But still, it could just be me, so I tried to evaluate the food on its merits without my personal preferences getting in the way.
But the burger itself was also nothing special. Bland and nearly tasteless. See where I am going here? If you are charging in the $10.00 range for a burger, it better be worth $10.00. Nope. Not even close. Go down the road to BurgerFi and save some money.
When the bill came I discovered I had been given a 1/3 pound burger for $8.99. Not sure why. There is a choice of a 1/3 or a 1/2 pound burger on the menu, but not for the ravioli burger. I guess I should be happy that I had less to eat, all things considered. Anyway, the good news is I did not encounter any aftereffects.
