Boogies have been around since the 70s; in fact they still have their original menu posted on their very blue walls. Can you imagine paying $1.10 for a burger, $1.25 for a banana split, 40 cents and 60 cents for an ice cream cone and one dollar for a milkshake?
So here we are forty years later and inflation didn't really take much of its toll on Boogies. Assorted burgers for fewer than 8 bucks and a great selection of milkshakes at $3.75. I personally have problems with the name Boogies but for the sake of my review and for your appetites I will keep this problem to myself.
The interior is so fun, there are vintage gaming machines spread around the store, there is a tacky kitschy mural of a beach on its one wall and of course we can't forget the "Employee of the Month wall". Man these dudes are handsome, David Hasselhoff, Beef Supreme, a mug shot of James Brown, Forest Gump. Dammnn...Some really good looking hunks up there (see photos)
The waitress was also an added decoration to Boogies with her great tattoos and purple hair, she was really attentive and totally laid back.
And just like the scene the Menu was totally laid back as well; in fact your can add anything to your burger, mozza or cheddar, a fried egg, wieners, an extra chicken breast, pickles, or banana peppers. You can add any of these fixings to their plus 20 burger selections.
What I found most interesting however were the shake flavours, bubblegum, creamsicle, banana tiger, root beer, macaroon, peanut butter and banana which is the young Elvis and the Fat Elvis which is peanut butter, banana, and bacon. Hilarious!
I myself indulged in a mushroom burger with mozzarella cheese and a butterscotch milkshake and my total bill came to a whopping $11. This is a 100% grade A burger folks with a big bun, I digress by saying it would be great if they had a whole wheat bun option, I am not really a white bread fan. At first I started eating it with a fork and knife and later dove into it with my hands, and l don't know what it is about a burger but it tastes so much better when you eat it in your hands.
It was definitely tasty, not the best burgers I have ever had mind you but nonetheless good.
All around 4 stars from the reviewer, I promise to come back Boogies to try out your yam fries and to gaze lovingly at your Employee of the Month wall once again.
