After seeing this place advertised as winning a "best burger" award, one presumably has rather high expectations. I ordered the emperor burger and I have to admit I liked the idea of aged gruyere and a truffle aioli. Upon first receiving the burger, you could notice an unsightly pool of grease so much so that the bread it was served on was dripping with it. The smell of truffles was apparent, but it seemed barely used on the burger. I wasn't sure if they were trying to conserve the truffle oil or what, but for about $11.00 for a burger most people would expect a bit more bang for their buck.\r
Also ordered the cowboy burger for my companion and then it was clear that the unsightly oil pool around my burger wasn't with every burger.\r
The staff was nice but the soda fountain machine was out of order and burgers on the menu weren't available.....I worked in a few restaurants in my time but c'mon.... It became clear from the staff that this wasn't the first day they were out of an item. \r
Overall, probably won't go back or recommend it. Still feeling the grease slide down my throat- gross! Didn't eat all my burger and thought it was way overpriced for what you get. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS PLACE HAS BEEN AWARDED FOR BEST BURGER BY ANYONE! IF THIS IS THE BEST, I'D HATE TO SEE THE WORST!
