AZ Restaurant Week 2013 brought me to Charr - An American Burger for the first time. Let's just run down the good things about Charr real quick:
About the restaurant itself:
-takes reservations on Open Table. Sweet.
-had reservations available on time on our arrival. something to be said as many places don't!
-nice outdoor patio
-good ambiance and decorations
About the food:
-crab cake appetizer was good. flaky, good flavors, good size for sharing (2 on the plate)
-my cousin loved the truffle fries (she actually took the leftover fries to go she liked them so much)
-I had the salmon burger. The salmon was perfectly cooked. I decided to forego the bun, it was delicious on its own. I get that this is a "burger joint" so there's a theme, but it's great as a non-burger too (that's how i would order in the future)
-My cousin had the BBQ burger. MMM!!! I had a few bites of it. Now that's a burger! Get it!
-The garlic knot buns are awesome!
-The Moscow Mule was perfect! Served in a copper mug, minty fresh, all I hoped for!
My only grumble about this place was that the service was pretty slow. We sat outside and it seemed like our waitress didn't know if we were in her section or not, though she was friendly. It took about 10 minutes for anyone to greet us after we had been seated The meal took about 2 hours to finish for the two of us. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable!! If you're up for a leisurely meal, definitely hit up Charr's.
