| - I stopped in here with a buddy for an impromptu lunch. He is a huge fan of the place but I was popping my BQM cherry.
Mind you my review can only apply to their vegetarian burger options, but his bacon accessorized meaty version looked and smelled glorious (yes, I made him let me smell it). Also, they ask you how you want your burger done (rare, medium, well done) which is pretty rad.
There are 2 vegetarian options; a tofu burger and a chickpea burger. I picked the chickpea burger based on the waitress' recommendation. I was good albeit mushy... I was hoping for something that resembled more of a burger patty.
Price wise it isn't the cheapest, $8-$14 for a burger, and it doesn't come with any sides, those are extra. Not really worth it for the chickpea burger in my opinion, but I'm sure the meat burgers warrant that pricetag more.
The onion rings are magic though. not overly greasy and deliciously crispy. Apparently they go amazingly with the garlic aioli dip, which we ordered but didn't get until we'd already finished the onion rings. For the record they taste great with ketchup too. There was only one waitress in a packed joint and she took forever, but she was friendly and apologetic.
I don't know that I would voluntarily go back there on my own volition but if friends wanted to go there I wouldn't be opposed and I do want to try the tofu burger. It is a quaint little burger joint, nice look and feel about it.
If I ate meat I'm sure I would have given more stars, my buddy said his burger was better than any he's had a Kraft Burger, but as for the veggie options, I've had better.
Bonus: they have a patio. A teeny tiny one.
EDIT: I bumped it up to a third star... only because I went back with a friend and tried the tofu burger. It was super tasty and much better than the chick pea mush patty and the server we had was much more quick and efficient. Still not one of my hotspots though.
