| - Since I first started seeing the sign for the grand opening of Cheeburger Cheeburger, I was curious to try out this American burger chain in its first imported restaurant to Canada. What you also need to know is that burgers are really my favourite meal so when a friend of mine agreed to join me to try this place out, needless to say, I was quite excited.
The decor was mentioned in most of the reviews I read so I won't bore you with the hot pink walls, cardboard cutouts of old cars and such. I will focus on the food instead and the main reason I wasn't able to give Cheeburger 5 stars.
I ordered with 1/3 pound burger and was very pleased with both the patty and bun. It was hard for me to choose my toppings, so I might have overdone it in that respect. Next time, I will make sure to keep the toppings simple in order for me to enjoy the patty, bread and cheese a little more. As the saying goes, sometimes too much is just not enough. We got to try both the fries and onion rings and I enjoyed both, even though I'm not a huge onion ring fan. The batter on the onion rings was crunchy and tasty and the fries were also very good, although just a little too salty.
All in all, I was very satisfied with Cheeburger Cheeburger, but the one thing that stops me from giving this burger joint 5 stars is the price. A burger, fries/onion ring combo basket, soft drink and small milk shake and I ended up paying 30$. Somehow I feel like I just got screwed by inflation. I'm at a 50s style dinner, yet I'm paying 30$ for my meal; it just didn't feel right. I don't expect to pay 50s prices, but something in the 15-20$ range would be better.
