I've eaten at ROUX a couple times, but not since last Summer. I'm on their email list and they were promoting a new Summer Burger, and being that I LOVE GOOD BURGERS, I went with a buddy last night to try it.
I absolutely could not believe how delicious it was! Ground sirloin with tons of garlic, white cheddar and bacon, and to top it off, a perfect slice of fried green tomato! The bun was just the right texture, and the bartender told me it was a rosemary roll from Grand Central. She, by the way, was also amazing and made our experience lots of fun. I think she said she was the bar manager. Cute blond woman.
I love the burgers at Slow Bar, Castagna, Driftwood Lounge and 23 Hoyt-- (okay, I get around) but this is at the top of them all.
The downside-- it's only available through the Summer (or I was told until local green tomatoes aren't around) on the main menu. The upside, it is $7.00 with greens and fries on the Happy Hour Menu, versus the $12 you pay during dinner.
If you are half the burger fan that I am, I recommend you give it a try next time you get the "urge."
Pros: Great Service, Delicious Burger & Drinks
Cons: Local Green Tomatoes Can't Be Grown Year Round!
