As much as I love and go out of my way to find a good burger, I think I've now "heard it all"...Burger...

I ordered a standard cheeseburger just to see if they had the skill to elevate the simple. Bottom line, they did not. My burger was dry as a dirt and even more tasteless. Combine that with crazy high prices and an unnecessary clubby vibe, and I won't be back. I think they come up with all of these fancy 'creations' to mask the fact that they just don't make good burgers.

First and foremost YES this place is popular and therefore you may want to arrive early or prepare to wait. There is not an incredible amount of parking to fit the demand of people that is running to check this place out but they apparently worked something out with the auto ship across the street where you can park there after-hours as well. I arrived right after about 30 minutes after they opened so I had no problem parking and was seated immediately. But when I left there was a huge line.

This place attracts a such an array of people....young, old, families, couples, friends of every nationality. Made for an enjoyable atmosphere. I was impressed with the sleek white and red design including beautiful wall mural. I liked that you could sit near where the burgers are made even though I did not choose to.

And now the food...The waitress was very attentive and helpful when ordering and thereafter... My friend and I wanted to sample everything! burgers, drinks, sides and milkshakes, and they allowed us to share a milkshake (yummy nutella and burnt marshmallow!) in two flute-like glasses. The pistachio milkshake is also extremely delish! Did I mention they frozen with liquid nitrogen??? The burgers are so flavorful and interesting. A little something for everyone...pulled brisket, veal, beef, veggie. no matter what you chose you would not be disappointed. I enjoyed the Butcher Cut burger made topped with caramelized onions, blue cheese and red wine jam and a side of vodka battered onion rings. Even the fries are are an experience. Apparently they are cooked 24 hours in advance and then flashed fried duck fat (may sound gross but interesting flavor) just before serving (something like that). They have this wonderful smoked mayo that you can put on your burger or even dip your fries in...definitely a fan of the smoked mayo!

Anyway, I enjoyed my experience. Hope you enjoy yours too!
