Ughh, I dunno. Completely on the fence with this place. Was excited after eating at the BQM Diner on Queen, and since I couldn't get the delicious flavour of burger out of my mouth I decided to hit up Burger Shoppe for lunch the next day.
I ordered the Riverside, which I knew was a risk. Very rarely are onion ring burgers successful because they have so much batter and are rather dry. But I decided to go with it anyways since I was coming off a serious burger high the night before.
When it finally arrived, I was impressed by it's appearance. It certainly looked delicious. A tad tall which always complicates eating burgers, but that's one of them good problems I suppose.
First couple bites were exactly what I expected. Bun, some meat, onion ring and not much else. The meat itself was well prepared and juicy, but overall dry.
At about 35%, the burger finally presented what it was all about. Good tangy-ness, good crunch to the onion ring, soft burger patty but ultimately falling short of a great sandwich. I felt it was lacking something - a 3rd heat, something to catch me by surprise me while eating it.
The fries were very meh. My combo was pricey, would've got a milkshake if it weren't an additional $5 on top of my $13.
Disappointing, cuz I was really excited about this place.
Good not great, but I wanted something more.
