The infamous Trill Burgers; in my hood??? How about that!
I live in Sienna, so this location is about a 17 minute drive for me using surface streets. I have been to the original Montrose location a couple of times and was genuinely impressed. In comparison, this location felt a bit mediocre, and I will explain why.
To be clear, I rated the original location five stars, and this review is written independently with the expectation of receiving the same or a similar experience. My son and I visited on a Saturday. There is space for a drive thru, but it is not open yet. The restaurant is somewhat hidden, and I did not notice any signage from the street, though I imagine that is still a work in progress.
There is a gentleman at the door who acts as a host, greeting guests and opening the door. It is immediately apparent that Bun B and his team will need to expand this location. The space is very small and was extremely crowded. It reached a point where there was nowhere to stand after placing our order (this is good problem to have, till is isn't).
For food, I ordered the Triple OG burger and the OG burger. The OG has two patties, while the Triple OG has three. The build is the same across both burgers with pickles, special sauce, grilled onions, cheese, and patties on a slightly sweet bun. Every burger comes with fries. They offer specialty lemonade and fountain drinks but I didn't partake. I actually hate getting fountain drinks at restaurants. Long story.
Anyway - we took the food to go, although even if we wanted to dine in, there were people waiting just to find a seat. Our order took roughly 15 to 20 minutes. The burger was mostly fine, but the patties were noticeably salty. I still ate it, and it did remind me of the Montrose location, just not at the same level. The overall assembly of the burger felt rushed, which may have contributed to the heavy salt. The fries were fine. The burger box is a nice touch and features an image of Bun B on the lid that folds into the packaging.
I like Trill Burgers overall, and I am sure I will be back and may end up increasing this rating. But for now, though, this visit felt like a three star, fast-but-not-so fast, restaurant experience.
