Copper Kings Burgers replaced a BBQ spot that I wasn't all that fond of, so they get a step up right off the bat. Came here on my birthday, all I wanted was a good burger, and I certainly got what I wanted. Every burger patty on our table was perfectly cooked with nice flavors and a great crust. The buns are soft and slightly sweet. And all of the fixings were crisp and juicy, adding a good crunch and texture to each bite.
I had The Burger, their basic offering. The best part about it was that crust, crispy and chewy, releasing a good amount of salt and spice in every bite. Topped with grilled onions and pickles, it was a damn good burger. My only issue with it was that Copper Sauce, which was exceedingly sour. I don't know if I had a bad batch, but it took a good tang and pushed it over the edge toward being unappealing. I ended up scraping as much of it off as I could.
My wife opted for The Western, ensuring that the Kings Sauce was on the side. Leaving the bun, she enjoyed the bacon, veggies, and burger as much I had. The Kings Sauce wasn't bad, oddly less tangy than the Copper Sauce considering it was supposed to be apple cider based.
Also on the table were an order of their Onion Rings. It's been a while since we came here, and there's nothing in my notes on how they were, but I do remember not liking these very much. And the Ranch we got to dip them into was absolutely terrible.
In the end, absolutely brilliant burgers cooked with perfect technique, finished off with great toppings. But, for me, they're dragged down a bit by the sauces and not the best of sides. With all the 5-star reviews I've seen, mixed with how much I liked the burgers themselves, I definitely need to come back and try again.
