7th Street Burger on Third Avenue is a great place if you have a young palate that gravitates toward grease or you are in hangover recovery mode. I ordered the double cheeseburger with everything on it and an order of fries. I fortuitously asked for the house sauce on the side, but more on that below.
Let me first disavow anyone of comparisons to In n Out or even Five Guys. Yes they have their house sauce, which invites the comparison to animal style at In n Out, but that is as far as it goes. The fries here are not freshly cut as one finds at In n Out and Five Guys or at least they do not taste freshly cut by hand. The burger is a very greasy affair, well beyond In n Out and even Five Guys. The burger wrapper is soaked in grease and it soaks through the white paper bag. For those who have the palate for all that grease or if you are in need of such to recover from the previous night's drinking, well this is right up your alley. For the rest of us, it is a challenging affair and the bun, quality as it might be, is not up to the challenge and task of maintaining its structural integrity. This is a burger prone to falling apart and, for those who like that sort of thing, well have at it here at 7th Street Burger.
Now a word on the house sauce is warranted. I asked for it on the side after I ordered the burger. I was going to put it on the burger, but the burger and bun were already too challenged, as I mentioned above. However, the fries definitely benefitted from their house sauce. As best as I could tell, the sauce is mayonnaise or Thousand Island, mustard and some unami or truffle accord. I doubt if there is actual truffle oil, but there is some inescapable savory note in this sauce that works well with the fries. They offer their fully loaded fries from this sauce mixed with burger meat or Impossible meat. If it is not too greasy, that would be well worth exploring if you want to go all out here.
Friendly service, take out only, and three stars...
