| - Can I confess to a little bit of lunch-bag letdown? I went here last Friday night: very busy place! This is good. People are only going to line up for a great burger, right?
Ordered the Riverdale with a couple of extras recommended by a friend -- bacon and blue cheese. They've got an excellent list of toppings!
Ordered, paid, went outside to wait, went inside, waited a bit (observed what seemed to be a problem of the cashier not being certain of what was in each wrapped burger: ticketing system problems?).
Got my burger. It came wrapped, hot, with perfectly crisp bacon, delicious blue cheese with the right amount of saltiness, right amount of flinty flavour, sloppy GBK sauce, swiss cheese, and all the other ingredients that go to making up the Riverdale.
The bun was a good bun: it did what a bun needs to do, which is hold the whole mess together and add a flavour that complements the burger and fixings.
So why did I give them only 3 stars?
The burger itself. Cooked to greyness, a bit on the dry side. It wasn't that great of a burger.
So I was a bit disappointed. I expected a burger that was going to at least be the equal of The Burger's Priest, because some reviews seem to put them neck-and-neck in the burger race. There's something about that loosely packed sloppy juicy burger at TBP that just wasn't equalled at GBK.
I'll have to try it again when it's not as busy, and I'll update.
