OK, so if you love burgers and more so enjoy organic beef, Hopdoddy Burger Bar in Scottsdale is certainly the place to go.
First, let's talk about the restaurant setting itself.
The building is done nicely in a modern/industrial look with SW touches inside and out.
You are immediately greeted by a server who will issue you a ticket with a number for you table and then will mark it reserved while you stand in line to order your food and drink.
The line moves pretty quickly, but you have to wait until you are near the registers to read the menu board (if you do not have great eye sight like me). Since you will be passing along the back side of the bar, this is the time to check out what is on tap for beers.
Once you have ordered, you simply go to your table and wait for everything to be brought out (which the did quite quickly considering that place was nearly full).
We ordered a large side of fries that came first and was perfect for 2 to snack on (and quite tasty).
Then the burgers came and I was pleasantly surprised not only in how well they looked but also by how great they tasted.
Unlike many gourmet burger joints (including those that serve organic or grass fed beef), Hododdy does not smother the burger in sauces so you can not taste the meat.
Also it was cooked perfectly to a nice medium rare (seared outside so inside was nice and pink but warm), juicy but not to the point of being messy (meat also seemed quite lean) and tasted great.
Will certainly look to eat here more often since it is only a short distance from home ... and a good opportunity to try other local brews they have on tap (tried the house IPA which as pretty good).
