| - My first overall experience at Burgatory was pretty amazing. My friend and I arrived on a Tuesday evening and were told to expect a 20-30 minute wait but we got in after less than 15 minutes upon receiving a text message that our table was ready - a feature that I LOVE and I wish more restaurants would incorporate.
I decided to order a custom-made burger and my anticipation for my food to arrive was pretty intense. To distract myself as I waited, we split an order of the truffle gorgonzola fries. The fries were so-so, but the cheese was really delicious. Our burgers arrived after a slightly longer than usual wait, and it was definitely worthy of a foodgasm. I got a hormone-free beef patty, herbed focaccia bread, buffalo cheddar (which tasted just like nacho cheese - not quite my fav), sauteed mushrooms, onion straws, sour cream, and a fried egg. We decided to nickname my burger The Escape Artist because as I was eating it, my egg kept trying to rapel out of my sandwich, despite my repeated attempts to seal its fate by stuffing it back in my sandwich. I later discovered that the egg's repeated escape attempts were just a distraction to allow my onions and mushrooms to jump ship, because despite me finishing my huge burger with all the fixings, I had enough leftover onions and mushrooms to make my own plate of sliders. Needless to say, they don't skimp on the toppings. The side of sweet potato chips we received were also really nice. Not at all greasy, they were a really nice, subtle compliment to that flavor monster of a burger.
We wrapped up our meals with a caramel pretzel milkshake. Absolutely amazing. The milkshake had actually hunks of pretzel in it, so it comes with a rather wide straw. The milkshake was nice and thick but wasn't overly sweet. It was a great way to end the meal.
The only con I have was that we were seated at a tall table accompanied by tall chairs, and the seats of the chairs were definitely on the small side. It took a bit of adjusting to find a comfortable position, and I'm definitely requesting a table or booth the next time.
But overall, the food was really fantastic and I can't wait to get back there to create my next burger masterpiece!
