| - I went to M:BRGR for the 1st time last night. I would have to say that my experience was fairly on par with what others have mentioned thus far. The only reason that I went was because I had purchased a deal via Wagjag (spend $20 get $40), otherwise, I think it's rather ridiculous to charge $8.75 for a basic hamburger before adding any toppings (this place is not Mortons or the Four Seasons ;-)).
Setting price aside, I had no complaints regarding the food itself. I actually elected to try the Chicken Burger, while my cousin ordered the standard AAA burger. He ordered it on a white bun, with cheese and bacon. The slice of cheese cost an extra $1.25 and the two strips of bacon cost an additional $2.50. He also ordered a small serving of fries which cost $4.00. I had a taste of the fries and they seemed rather standard. I did not try the burger, though, I asked him how it tasted and he said it was fine.
My chicken burger (which cost $9.75) was served on a whole wheat bun, with some shredded lettuce and with a few slices of tomato. It came with a pesto mayo which was served on the side (the waiter did not ask me if I wanted it served on the side).
We also ordered a beer each. I had the Wellington Pale Ale ($6.50) and he had a Steamwhistle which was on tap ($4.50).
For dessert we split the deep dish chocolate chip cookie with ice cream ($10.00). I had read about this one from prior posts and it definitely did not disappoint.
With taxes, our total bill came to $53.47. Normally that would seem rather outrageous for a burger joint. With the discount, the bill came to $33.47 which is a little more reasonable for two people (considering we ordered beers and dessert in addition to our mains).
A few other points to note:
- Now that I think of it, the waiter did not ask my cousin how he wanted his burger cooked (which should be an absolute requirement);
- I arrived at 730 on a Friday night, and there was plenty of space. Definitely no need for a reservation;
- The decor was acceptable and the restaurant was appropriately lighted, however I do second another person's post regarding the cafeteria style chairs. Nothing to write home about there, but I probably wouldn't dock them any stars because of them.
- The noise level was high, but not unbearable;
- The wait staff was rather prompt and answered all of our questions;
- We did not have to wait too long for our food. Even after lingering for a bit after we had settled the bill, it was still only 9pm by the time we departed.
Conclusion: if the website would let me do it, I'd probably give a 3.5. If the prices were a bit more reasonable I would be willing to give a 4. Given the expense, it's unlikely that I would return to M:BRGR without another coupon. If I have a craving for a burger, I'll go down the st. (like others have mentioned) to Craft Burger.
