Regal Beagle







Ben: BEAGLE BUGER w/ chips. Sausage shaped burger patty with cheese, shredded lettuce and special sauce on a toasted buttermilk bun.


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. 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: 35



NOTES:

- a copious cornucopia of condiments
- only 1 burger to choose from with not much in the way of toppings
- I ordered a tasty jalapeno cheddar sausage to top my burger with for an extra $6
- burger + sausage = no side necessary
- the building is a little stripmall-ish on the exterior, but it’s pretty nice inside, complete with a real dart board
- excellent beer selection, if you’re indecisive I recommend spinning the wheel of beer fortune and leaving it up to fate
- they are definitely pushing the boundaries of what a burger is with this thing
- seems like they could have taken it a bit further with the toppings
- the shape of the party and size of the bun foiled my plan to add the sausage, I could only fit half on top
- I’m not sure the sausage added much to the burger, I recommend keeping them separate
- the meat was well seasoned
- this might be the only time I’ve actually thought shredded lettuce was appropriate
- definitely not a burger destination, but if you’re stuck here and you’re all sausaged out, it’s not a bad option

TOTAL SCORE: 27



NOTES:

- good beer selection
- nice little spot off the beaten path
- lots of interesting mustards to choose from
- only one burger, but you can add a sausage to it for 6 bones, I did, and it was Moroccan and it went bahh in its life
- even though the sausage and burger meat were delicious when isolated, together they didn’t hit the right harmony to make it really sing to me
- the burger was served in a sausage bun and only comes with shredded lettuce, cheese and thousand island dressing
- bun broke right away when I tried to stuff my sausage in it
- good sausages and relatively tasty burger but definitely not a “burger” destination per se
