| - There really isn't anything wrong with this place, but a few things prevent it from earning 4, maybe even 5 stars.
I came in during a down time, around 3pm on a weekday. There were two other small parties in the entire restaurant. Right away you'll notice the great interior, which is probably the best of any burger joint around.
My order consisted of their basic double cheeseburger, regular fries with parmesan and herbs, and a Fat Tire. Grand total was $15 even. Even though I could have saved a little money by getting plain fries and a soda instead of a beer, this is pretty pricey for a burger place. My order also took 11 minutes, which isn't too bad, but I can't imagine how long it takes during the lunch rush. It's not like they only had two employees working.
First thing you'll notice when you get your food is that the size of the double burger is about average, while the regular fries are ridiculously huge. Definitely enough for two people to split. I would prefer if they offered an even smaller size of fries and charged less for it. Chances are, your burger will be gone and you'll still have plenty of fries left. I'm the type of person who likes fries, but LOVES burgers, so I would prefer the burger to be the main part of my meal. Now, the burger itself was pretty tasty, but not excellent. I really appreciate the sustainable aspects of the beef, and don't mind paying a little more for that, but the toppings and bun left something to be desired. The beef is great, but the rest of the burger just prevents it from being all together "excellent."
I'll definitely give this place a few more chances to try some of their other burger combinations and their onion rings. Even with a soda in place of a beer, you're still looking at around $13+ for your meal, which is a good $6 more than In-N-Out. So it won't necessarily be my "go-to" burger destination in the future.
