Not sure why, but it smelled like melted plastic when we walked in. Not a great start.
I was concerned when I saw constant flare ups on the grill as our burgers were cooking. Not sure if they were using really high fat meat or bad cooking technique, but the grill was flaring up so badly that the flames were as high as the cook's head, and it flared up often often.
As you'd expect from that kind of grill flares, both of our burgers were covered with acrid, bitter char. We both ordered medium, but they were blackened outside and well done inside. The texture was weirdly soft inside, to the point where my husband thought his was rarer than medium until he looked at the color. These were the smallest 6oz burgers I've ever seen. Between the small size and the constant grill flare ups, my guess is that they're using extremely fatty meat, and those issues are the result of rendering out a lot of excess fat.
We both ordered deluxe cheeseburger combos. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, my husband ordered a gyro cheeseburger, but we both found we only had cheese on our burgers. We were too hungry to wait for it to be remade, but they gave me some baklava to make up for it.
The baklava was pretty good, tasted like it was mostly almonds with a little pistachio. Little bit on the oily side, but nice crisp phyllo and good flavor.
The fries were nicely done.
But when you go to a burger place, you expect a well-made burger, and this place did not manage that. $19 for a combo meal is way too much to pay for a burger that was burned to death by constant grill flare-ups.
