maybe my expectations were set high from reading reviews or their enticing menu descriptions, but i was not impressed by their burgers. first, they no longer had the grass-fed beef burgers, which i was hoping to try. second, many of the burger options were very similar, including some variation of their secret sauce otherwise known as thousand island and hot sauce. at least that's what it tasted like.

i ordered their basic burger with cheddar and fries. the burger had a faint smoky flavor which was good, but once i got to the meat of the burger, it was bland. though their secret sauce gave the burger a little kick, there wasn't much of the meaty flavor i love about burgers that comes from the blood, fat and other meat juices, and it was in need of some seasoning. it wasn't a bad burger. the quality and taste is better than the average burger joint, but i much prefer the burger at the counter, and it's not in the same league as the one at father's office.

their fries were ok. again, it was missing a little something to make it a 4 star place. the bf liked the veggie burger, as it tasted like it was made from scratch rather than just a gardenburger patty (although i love gardenburgers) and had a lot of texture. according to the menu, it's made from 23 different ingredients.
