Customized burgers! SO exciting! How come I never went to this place until last week?? So since then, I have been there twice:
1st time with Rachel: beef patty (medium well) + jalapeno jack + bermuda red onions + grilled pineapple + mixed baby greens + roasted corn & black bean salsa + homemade guacamole + peppercorn steak sauce -- on a hamburger bun. Wow. It came out small but quite a handful. Kind of like In-N-Out, but really well topping'ed. The flavor was excellent, just a little messy to handle. The sweet and tanginess from the pineapple perfectly complemented the rest of the mostly salty parts. The salsa and guac married nicely. Very nice!
2nd time with Caroline: beef patty (medium well) + gruyere cheese + bermuda red onion + dried cranberries + mixed baby greens + roasted corn & black bean salsa + honey cured bacon + sweet BBQ sauce -- on a hamburger bun. Very good - the cranberries replacing pineapples added a different tang, complemented by the sweetness of the BBQ sauce - SAWWWWCE. Bacon - why didn't I see it the first time. Just gorgeous.
Both times - try the 50/50 Sweet Tomato Fries and Onion Strings - they are FAMOUS, and damn well deserve to be.
Quick service, giant portions = can't go wrong here. And if it does, it's your own fault.
