Purist Note: They also dress up this burger with tons of stuff, including 1000 Island dressing, which I asked to be put on the side.
In any case, I have to admit it was a damn fine burger, and I would rank this among the best of them. The burger to bun ratio was perfect, and it was cooked to a perfect Med Rare. This was a griddle-cooked burger with a thick, seared crust, which bore a surpising resemblance to Umami Burger--the bun also showcased the similarities between this burger and the Umami Burger. This burger featured Carr Valley Cheddar, which enhanced the firm texture of the burger with the gooeness of a creamy, melted cheddar. However, the service in the joint was atrocious. I actually finished my burger before they even brought out my buddy's pork belly. This is unacceptable, and it ruined my burger eating experience! I had to eat this burger in front of my starving friend. The chef actually did come out and apologize, and they deducted the cost of the dish while providing a free desert. Since they did respond in the proper fashion to this mishap I will go ahead and give the green light on this place
Burger Review : Great burger. Beware service!
