9. BURDEN 1 2 3 4 5
10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 31

NOTES:

- pretty large and in charge

- slightly stupid prices, each side for 1 bone, including cheese (on top of $9.50), say what?

- tantalizing teriyaki saved this burger from Dullville

- grilled mushrooms made my mouth water while the shredded cheese made me question if it was meant for a taco

- more options & improved toppings would do this score an extreme makeover

- terrible music dropped this score like it’s hot

10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 36

NOTES:

- kind of a poser bar with a lot of shiny new longboards on the wall that are just there to make it look like a local place

- pretty good beer selection, above average, but not mind blowing

- burger was delicious, but kind of pricey if you want to get all the extras

- $1 for cheese, really? On a $10 burger? GFY!

- BBQ sauce was really awesome and the gouda cheese was a great compliment

- music really sucks, so if you’re thinking of staying for a few more, don’t

TOTAL SCORE: 29

NOTES:

- place looks like a Boston dorm room

- $9.50 for the most basic burger, $14 for a burger that sounds good on paper but shitty when it shows up

- I hustled this burger down no problem

- they forgot to put my grilled onions on the burger, because the dummy waitress thought she could memorize by order, too bad she didn’t

- good beer selection and that’s about it
