Re: Burger opening Mon 12/21 on 1st & Erie

My wife also wanted to try this place, so I had it again for dinner around 7PM. The burger patty was actually seasoned with salt this time, so looks like they fixed that pretty quickly (less than 6 hours between my first and second tastings). That was my biggest qualm with the burger, so I will now wholeheartedly recommend this place if you want a good burger at a decent price.

Sadly, the fries were still too soggy, and this time they cheaped out on the pecorino cheese compared to earlier today. The truffle flavor was still there, but practically no cheese. Also, my wife confirmed that the fries come from a bag and are not hand cut on the premises. However, they are definitely using a good brand of fries.

Just finished my meal so here's my two cents:

Order

I picked up a Single with Cheddar and Garlic Herb Aioli sauce with a side of Pecorino Truffle Fries. Burger came with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. Here's an album of the burger and fries I ordered.

Price

Single Burger: $6.90
Fries: $3.50
Total: $10.91

FYI, the double classic burger costs $8.66

Food Quality

I got the classic burger so that I could focus on the quality of the burger patty without the distraction of too many toppings. While the quality of the meat was excellent, it was sadly lacking any sort of seasoning. Just some salt would have been enough for me. The patty was thin so it was cooked all the way through, which further diminished the flavor.

I was watching them cook and the raw "patties" straight up looked like they took the raw meat out of the box and shaped it into cubes, so it's clear they aren't seasoning the meat. Also, they smash the burgers down when put on the griddle (not great for retaining the juices). However, they do let it sit for a while to develop a nice crust, so that's a big plus for them.

The pecorino truffle fries had a great flavor and were a good size. However, they definitely need to be fried for a little longer because they were a little too soggy for my preference. Also, I'm pretty sure the fries come out of a bag since I saw no evidence that they were being hand-cut on the premises.

Service

Ordering was a little slow. There were only two people ahead of me with a single cashier, but it still took around 5 minutes before I could put in my order. Despite having a POS with a credit card reader, they're still using an external credit card terminal, which is a little glitchy (had to insert my card twice). After ordering, you walk over to the other side to pick up.

Kitchen staff were also a little slow and running all over the place to put together orders. My seemingly simple order took a while to make, and the people ahead of me who ordered the more complex burgers ended up waiting even longer (one guy was getting visibly upset at having to wait for so long). I'm hoping this will improve as they gain experience and streamline their process.

Conclusion

Overall, I wasn't overwhelmed by this place. I was really hoping this could be a solid "grab n' go" burger spot, but for that they really need to work on the fundamentals: food quality and speed of service. As of right now, you can get better burgers almost anywhere else nearby, especially if you're willing to wait 15-20 minutes for a basic order, or 20-25 minutes for a more complex order.

I'll give the place another try in a few weeks to see if they improve on the fundamentals.

Just pledged $25. My wife is a huge nut for Korean food (I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up buying your bottled kimchi on a weekly basis).
