| - I have mixed feelings about Burgatory. I'm the kind of burger fan who has "bun issues." Issues w the bun, and issues w my own 'buns.' I really hate it when either set of buns are too large and Burgatory buns are too large, and they make my buns too large as well.
This can easily be solved by ordering your burger open faced, and then cutting the single bun in half. So many burger places have huge buns. "Here's your loaf of bread with beef pattie..." Do they do this so you think their burgers are bigger? I don't know. One thing I do know is that Burgatory Burgers have NO size issues whatsoever.
They are so huge, you may want to fast for two days before eating at Burgatory. Or you could be a normal person and take half the burger home but I never have that kind of self control.
The first time I went to Burgatory it was a Wednesday night and i was surprised there was a long wait. I browsed Barned & Noble for awhile, the strip mall location gives you a lot of options while you are waiting for your table.
One of the things I like about Burgatory is they do have a fairly diverse menu, including vegetarian options that (I hear) are really good. I ordered what can only be described as the 'Sodium Burger." It had red wine sauce and carmelized onions on it and basically, it tasted like salty onions. Don't know that I'd order it again. The beef they use is so nice that I'd urge you to go with a plainer burger.
I'll come right out and say it: the burgers are just 'meh.'
The kitchen also tends to over cook the burgers so unless you want your burger "Joan of Arc" style, order it medium.
Everything here is super salty and I am convinced they do this to sell more beer and it works. Their beer selection is pretty good.
We also had the truffled french fries and the first few fries were good but the fries were so soaked in truffle oil it became almost inedible after awhile. Oh, it tasted good, but it was just too rich. I really think I dislike truffle oil. ...White people problems... anyway,
I was *that person* who ordered the mixed veggies at Burgatory and they were awesome. Roasted red peppers and sugar snap peas.
Whatever you order, make sure you get a milk shake!
I would knife fight my own mother over a Burgatory milkshake, they are that good. My favorite is the almond torte.
This place isn't cheap, but it's not expensive and they'll give you enough food to feed your family for a week!
