Burger Menu Rating: 9/15
Having grown up going to Cheeburger Cheeburger, it holds a special place in my heart, and always will. This is by no means a gourmet burger, but what is fantastic about their menu is that you get to choose everything and your burger is cooked to order. You can create so many different options by working with the size of the burger, the free toppings and sauces, and then moving onto the specialty toppings.
The Semi Serious is a 1/3lb burger, and the norm for most people who go there. There is, however a Serious, and a Delirious, the latter of which is a whopping 20oz burger before they cook it. If you FINISH a Delirious, they'll take your picture and put it up on the wall along everyone else that has done it before (there's a separate wall for repeat offenders), but keep in mind that you have to eat all the bread and finish all of the toppings as well. Your plate must be CLEAN. This is not for the faint of heart. A friend of mine did it in a high school (something like.. 11 years ago), and he was laid up for the rest of the night with stomach pain. You've been warned.
The other fantastic part of their menu is their massive list of milkshake options. These have to be flavor additions, but there is seriously a ridiculous number of flavors to choose from. 378,000 different flavor combinations! Amazing. Unfortunately, a full shake isn't as big as it used to be. You used to be able to get one, and they'd give you a ton of left over shake in that metal cup as well, but no more. Saving money? Or just someone that really knows the proportions of a shake. Either way, I'm not a fan.
The entire place (all of them, its a chain found in 29 cities, as far west as the state of Nevada), is themed like a 1950s diner, complete with ugly pink neon and all the 50s tunes you could want. The pink neon actually kind of makes your eyes hurt by the time you leave. But they must be doing something right, because I've never gone into one and seen it empty.
The fries and rings? Not much to say about them really. You get a giant basket (you better, for 6.49) and you can order some dipping sauces on the side (which are totally not worth it). The fries themselves are decent, and the onion rings are really large, but neither are anything special. I'd say you're probably better off just passing on the fries/onion rings and getting a milkshake instead. If you're planning on getting both, forgo the fries for the sake of your stomach and the ache you'll have trying to finish them. Its the same ache I've made the mistake of having many times before at Cheeburger.
You'll notice at the top of this post there's a new feature! I've finally put together a numerical rating system! It's laid out as follows:
Burgers (out of 15 points)
Cooked Correctly = 5pts
No choice of how you want it cooked? = -1
Presentation/Plating = 4pts
Design/Ingredients = 3pts
Value = 3 pts
Sliders (out of 10 pts)
Presentation/Plating = 4pts
Design/Ingredients = 3pts
Value = 3 pts
It's pretty self explanatory right? The total score will always be at the top, and the breakdown will be at the bottom of the post. Get excited for more reviews coming every Wednesday!
Cooked Correctly = 4pts
Presentation/Plating = 2pts
Design/Ingredients = 1pts (Build your own)
Value = 2 pts
