Boogies has a classic and retro feel all the way from the lighting fixtures, yellow chairs, blue tables, to the arcade games(Ms. PacMan, Robocop, Burger Time and Street Fighter). The boys and I were wanting to give this place a try for a while now but haven't gotten around to doing so until today. Though there was a steady stream of customers, our friendly server Angela took the time to fill us in on the family history of Boogies (established in 1969).
I ordered a Fay's Burger and it was super juicy and packed with flavour. The combination of the single beef patty with fried mushrooms with sauce, bacon, fried (not raw) onions, lettuce and tomato was a match made in heaven (and I'm crazy about mushrooms!). Hubby seemed impressed with Sam's Burger (single patty, Cheddar, fried egg, Boogies' signature red sauce, added bacon, lettuce, tomato).
Don't be fooled by the thin burger patty, folks--it's so moist and juicy that you can see steam coming out of it after one bite! Our teenage son ordered Doug's "Don't Fear the Reaper" burger (four beef patties, four bacon slices, butterflied beef wieners, Cheddar, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, and topped off with a mini corn dog). There was steam rising from the remnants of his beef patties even when he was down to his last four bites. Be warned, this burger is not for the faint of heart...
Our side of yam fries were delightfully crispy and seasoned perfectly. There was not a single soggy fry in our order. My coconut milkshake was thick, rich, and topped generously with toasted coconut. I only wish that I had a wider straw.
Boogies is definitely our favourite burger joint from now on!
