Ben: CHEESEBUGER w/ tater tots. 1/3 lb. patty, medium-rare, with jalapenos, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle on a challah roll.

HOW THEY STACK UP:

1. BACKGROUND 1 2 3 4 5
2. BONUSES 1 2 3 4 5
3. BUNDLE 1 2 3 4 5
4. BURGER 1 2 3 4 5

8. BELT-BUSTING 1 2 3 4 5
9. BURDEN 1 2 3 4 5
10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 42

NOTES:

- great spot to grab a burger and beer with a nice large outdoor area and indoor areas that open up to the outside

- very tasty burger that’s cooked to perfection

- I appreciate the thought put into the bun, but I felt the bread to meat ratio was a little too high

- jalapenos would have been better if grilled with the burger and melted in the cheese

- kid & pet friendly location

- pretty cool architecture if you’re into that kind of thing

- not a lot of burger or beer options, but what they have is done right

- our burgers were ready unbelievably fast, almost as if pre-ordered by ESP






James: DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER w/ fries. Two 1/3 lb. patties, medium-rare, with grilled onions, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and cheddar cheese on a challah roll.

HOW THEY STACK UP:

1. BACKGROUND 1 2 3 4 5
2. BONUSES 1 2 3 4 5
3. BUNDLE 1 2 3 4 5
4. BURGER 1 2 3 4 5
5. BUN 1 2 3 4 5
6. BOLDNESS 1 2 3 4 5
7. BARGAIN 1 2 3 4 5
8. BELT-BUSTING 1 2 3 4 5
9. BURDEN 1 2 3 4 5
10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 42

NOTES:

- burger meat was cooked perfectly, but not mixed with any spices

- cool indoor/outdoor atmosphere that really takes advantage of the climate

- not a great selection of craft beers

- I finished a double without too much pain

- grilled onions were great, but I was a little disappointed with the jalapenos

- they weren’t fresh, grilled and integrated with the bundle, rather they were put on the side nacho style, definitely a missed opportunity for boldness

- they also have an outdoor fire pit which is pretty cool
