First of all. Pepsi?! C'mon Goodburger! Get with the times! Pepsi's whole "Blind Taste Test" thing was a sham! I don't know a single person that likes Pepsi over Coca Cola! Not a single one! Anyways, I've walked past the Goodburger locations many a time and figured I should go here at least once. You know. Because, the 90s. I mean.. Welcome to Goodburger. Home of the Goodburger. Can I take your order? I was working near the location on 8th Avenue near 57th, and had just enough time at a lunch break to go over and get a burger.
I tried to order a single goodburger (1/4 lb) medium rare. The hostess said that I could only get that particular burger cooked to medium well, but that I could get the Classic (1/3 lb) cooked medium rare. Okay! Good call hostess. With the works? Okay! No cheese, it doesn't come with cheese. But you can add cheddar for $0.69 if you really want to.
The slanted grill a la George Foreman.
They cooked the burger on a slanted grill so the grease runs off. Good? Bad? Healthier? You decide. My burger was still awesomely juicy, though slightly past med rare. -1 point! The patty also wasn't packed and worked too much, which is always a good sign! Their patties are made from 100% Hereford beef, hand-ground and cut into patties at Goodburger's offsite prep facility and then the patties, along with all the other ingredients, are delivered to each facility each morning.
Cooked a little past medium rare.
They definitely cooked the burger to order. I love that, even though it wasn't perfect. And even though this place feels like a fast food joint, the toppings were fresh, and they started cooking at the time of my order.
Super fresh ingredients!
They also didn't completely overdo it with the sauces. Even though there was a small amount of sauciness, there still wasn't very much burger meat taste. Still, this is a decent pedestrian burger, especially with how juicy it was.
The fries were pretty good. Small cut, some were extremely salty, and others were incredibly bland. They need to toss them a little better when seasoning the fries. You do however get a ton of fries in that bag. As far as a fast food burger goes, I'd definitely choose a local chain like Goodburger over a larger national chain such as McDonalds, etc.
Cooked Correctly: 4/5
Design/Ingredients: 1.5/4
Plating: 1/3 - Branded, but with paper plates
Value: 1.5/3 - A good size for the price.
