Every time Ive walked by this place I have been intrigued to try it out. It has a really cool retro vibe that really draws me in.
So my husband and I finally decided to give it a go. Went later in the night and there was a fair bit of a line up but it went fast. The overall feeling of the place is super cool and makes you wanna go in and order a milkshake for two. Lots interesting old photos on the wall to look at while waiting. I was also immediately impressed by the bottle pop. Just can't beat it.
We both decided to order burgers and share an order of onion rings. I went with the single cheese burger with bacon and he went with the fippin burger. There were lots of great topping choices to add to the burger and I was getting really excited about how good it was gonna be. When I got my burger it was HUGE!!! I couldn't believe it was the single burger.
We quickly rushed home to eat and I couldn't wait to try it out. However upon my first bite I was somewhat disappointed. Nothing mind blowing about it but I kept eating. The bacon on the burger was kinda tough and chewy. Reading some of the other reviews I see that it is beef bacon. Just doesn't compare to tasty, crispy pig bacon. And then there was the lack of cheese, definitely could have used more. Then there was the beef patty itself, I am just not entirely sure that it wasn't frozen/store bought as it unfortunately did have that taste. But all of this could have been overlooked and I would have happily continued to frequent flippin burgers as a late night/drunken food stop, if I hadn't encountered the hairs. Yes, hairs. I found not 1 but 2 thick black hairs in my burger and I completely lost every bit of my appetite.
I will not be returning for a hair infested burger, however due to the proximity to my condo and the awesome retro vibe, I would probably return for a milkshake or a bottle of pop.
Sorry flippin burgers, I really wanted to like you.
