First off... service was excellent.
Second, atmosphere was good. It's a burger joint. Not real special, but clean and comfortable.
Third, the burgers were average. I mean, the meat was good, the bun toasted, and it had good flavors, but it just seems that they try so hard to make a "gourmet" burger, that the basics are overlooked. You end up tasting all the gourmet elements and they overshadow the star of the dish - the burger.
I got the McKinney Melt. My wife got the LOYO burger on a GF bun. It was good, and I'll go back and give them a 2nd chance... but this time I just want the basics.
One more thing... the ketchup was nasty. It was fermented... almost as if a wine was used in the making of their house made ketchup. We tried it from another table... same thing. Nasty. I will be bringing my own ketchup next time.
Tots and fries were good, but the tots were over-seasoned. I'll just be going for the fries next time.
If you've ever watched "Beat Bobby Flay," the reason he wins 90% of the time is he masters the basics. He is the best at traditional flavors. His competition always tries to "elevate," and it misses the mark. The judges have the same comments every time. That's kind of what happened here.
Overall... good, but with tip it was about $35 (no drinks, just waters).
