This isn't a terrible burger but for $14.99 I expected more. The burger came out in a timely manner, and the service was pretty good even with just one waitress. It was cooked correctly, and while this is a pretty large burger, the bun is so big that it's almost overwhelming. There is a sizable amount of beef and there are definitely a lot of toppings but the bun is just so big. I wished they either scooped out some of the bread or went with a thinner bun, or just anything to cut down on the amount of bread.
It was definitely refreshing to get a burger that didn't have a sauce on it. Even with a lot of condiments, the focus of this burger was the taste of the meat, which was good. Good quality mean, not overworked, not over seasoned, simple. Tasty. But the best part of this burger is the ham. Or I should say 'ham.' It's more like really thick bacon, which makes it awesome. It's so good, in fact, that if the burger was just beef, 'ham' and cheese, that would be amazing. Juicy, salty, and just a tiny bit of crunch, this 'ham' adds a whole world to this burger that all the other condiments don't.
Fries? Eh. I've seen pickle shaped fries before. They came out already getting cold, and weren't all that tasty. C'mon people! Fries are awesome! Make them interesting! Use a different potato, a different oil, or a different seasoning. DO something! Anyways, they have a decent selection of both draft and bottle beers. A mix of Europeans and American microbrews. It's a small place, parking is tough. Wednesdays are $10.99 burger night. A regular burger plus two toppings, and it comes with pickles and fries. Special events sometimes include fixed price beer tastings.
