| - Finally have had a chance to try a burger here since my boyfriend has been telling me about it for the longest time. We just happen to have a coupon for a buy one get one free burger from the 2013 Entertainment book so here we went for dinner! I have no idea how the College kids can afford to eat here with these prices.
They give you a product requisition form (menu) and you check off what you would like such as the size patty and the toppings you want. This is creative, cute and perhaps fun however it just really delayed the time in getting our order in. Myself being a Grind Burger virgin it just seemed to take forever to go over the complete menu, mark off what I wanted just to have the Server repeat it back to us. Save the paper and printing fees and just create a more reasonable menu.
Every item is Ala carte which is fine however when it is like that I expect the side items, such as fries to be really good not just ordinary. I was disappointed with the fries they were lacking flavor and the portion for what they charge was very little. We ordered the short & thick fries which are potato wedge style and nothing special.
I decided on a 4oz burger 7.49 with cheddar .75 additional and free toppings of lettuce, tomato, onion and garlic mayo. How is it free, who wants a plain burger seriously and those are standard cheeseburger toppings to specify them as free is absurd. Anyhow, my boyfriend got the infamous "Juicy Lucy" a patty with cheese on the inside 10.99 he opted for Pepper Jack. He truly enjoyed his burger that he had consumed in less than 4 bites, yikes and that is an 8oz patty!
I was joking with my boyfriend that this is not a place that I would come on a first date, as it was so damn messy! The burgers taste good and are really juicy as my meat juice and toppings were just oozing all over the place! I had a damn hamburger salad left on my plate after I finished my burger.
The hamburger buns are the star player as they were so fresh and tasty almost a hint of sweetness like Hawaiian sweet bread.
The Service was good, maybe too attentive. We went on a Sunday night and asked to sit in the bar so that we could watch the football game while eating. Unfortunately we were the only ones there dining at the time which I usually like when we eat out rather than huge crowds! The bartender gal had nothing to do but focus on us. She was nice but way too in our mix, we just want to relax and eat and if you are coming over every second or talking to us from across the room every moment it is rather annoying! I know who complains about an attentive staff however this was beyond ridiculous and avoiding eye contact was not working either. When I am busy stuffing my face with a big fat juicy burger the last thing i want to do is have to respond to a conversation I never wanted to join in the first place!
This is one of those burger joints I only need to try once, I am one and done. Next!
I posted pictures of our meals as well, enjoy :)
