TOTAL SCORE: 35
NOTES:
- advertised as “upscale” but the burger was served in a red plastic basket?
- I liked the mayo “B” on the bun though, a nice touch
- advertising 12 micros on tap is a little misleading: Coors Light, Guinness and Pacifico are not really micros
- more local beers would be preferable
- the trash talking of other burger joints in the menu/newspaper seemed unnecessary and a little over the top
- mushrooms were sautéed to perfection and onions were grilled just right
- a little over priced for what it was, you have to pay an extra $1 – 1.50 for anything other than cheese
- no options requested by server for how I wanted my burger cooked, other than that I can’t complain about the service, very friendly and cool

TOTAL SCORE: 41
NOTES:
- first one here so they let me choose the Pandora station, I went with Pelican
- Apps of loaded tots: gravy, cheese and bacon, how can you go wrong?
- first fried egg burger, tasted like breakfast
- bun was sweet but not too sweet
- kinda small dining area
- seriously though, the Pelican station, fucking choice!
- a bit over sold
- I like the specials, including Fedora Fridays where you get 25% off your bill for wearing a fedora
- flavorful patty, but I would touch it up with some spice
- bacon was appropriately crispy without being over done
- friendly staff
- not as much beer selection as the online menu/website would lead you to believe
- egg was over-medium which is how I’ll ask for it on my burgers from now on
