Tom: Not the most exciting, the presentation was standard, the restaurant
resembled a dive bar and the burger had nothing original but something worked. After a 6-mile hike on the Oregon coast and a
chilly stroll along the beach, this monster double cheeseburger was everything
I needed it to be! Two 1/3, unseasoned, warm
and comforting patties, stacked with molten American cheese and other classic
double cheese burger elements (tomato, onion, pickle, lettuce, bacon) that were
completely un-noteworthy. Though the
meat quality was never going to wow any burger connoisseur, it was prepared
expertly. And since I received recent criticism about my lack of bun attention
I feel compelled to point out to the bun aficionados of the world, which I have
lovingly dubbed “burger bunies”, that this potato sinker was soft, under
toasted, and nothing more. The standout
performance of the meal, were the perfectly cooked, deliciously golden onion
rings. Ultimately the meal was over
priced and the food was slightly better than the typical fare from a pub that
would offer everything from Asian noodle salad to a meatball sub, yet sometimes
the stars align to match primal burger cravings with a hefty plate of
satisfaction.
