Mr. Burger

"I just love being there because I am friends with some of the workers there and I love the food and desserts. I do recommend it after a long day."

"Had breakfast with my family and food and service was great. Didn't take long to get food and they were pretty busy. Was clean and had a good atmosphere"

"I love this place 10/10 every single time. I came for breakfast this time and it was wonderful and the staff is all so nice. Love to be here the service is fast they have lots of options to choose from and the restaurant is really clean even the kitchen. Usually come for lunch but I had a craving for the pancakes here. Definitely worth stopping and dining in or hitting the drive thru if you have never been."

"Within a plain white paper bag is an equally plain wax paper bundle, tightly wound and twisted at one corner with the onion rings inside. It’s a fairly novel packaging, but one that I’ve seen a time or two before. The simplicity of the presentation is a style unto itself, consistent with the aesthetics and vibes of Mr. Burger. The onion rings, on the other hand, leave more to be desired. The smoothness of the batter, and the consistency of the color, usually indicate that they’re frozen, but the cracked patchiness of the batter makes me suspect they’re made by hand, however poorly. Broken rings litter the bottom of the sack as I cradle it lightly in my car, careful not to cause any more disturbances. The numerous gaps in the batter have the singular benefit of unleashing the onion aroma lurking in its coffined battered walls, slowly filling the front seat of my car with the fumes. There’s a surprising dichotomy among onion ring flavors between sweet and savory, at least in certain situations. Certain variants of the onion (like the famed Vidalia) are saccharine, as various onion desserts make heavy use of. Even the batter, which can be mixed with things like beer of varied sweetness, can tread a narrow path between the two. These onion rings lean sweet, both from the onion and the batter, which is almost caramelized. I half think they added sugar to the batter, along with the requisite salt. It’s almost a savory dessert rather than an appetizer or a side, though the grease would seem to discount that theory. The onions are as juicy as they are sweet, as indicated earlier by their strong scent, and the batter is flavorful if a little one note. There was no accompanying sauce, but the onion rings are moist enough that they didn’t really need it. As the medieval era wound to a close in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Europe, war was changing. The age of cannon, and other new marvelous and terrible weapons of siege, forced rapid changes both to defense and to the social, political, and cultural institutions of the continent. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to see the parallels to these onion rings from Mr. Burger. The simplicity of the packaging is, on the surface, a fun throwback. In practice, it makes the onion rings particularly susceptible to damage, not helped by the drive-thru. Nearly one in two rings are cracked or malformed in some way. The soft and weak batter doesn’t help, collapsing under even the slightest assault, like the holdings of some recalcitrant minor lord unwilling and unable to adapt. Likewise, the flavorful onions are just too limp, particularly when combined with the batter, making the finished product seem almost flimsy, with slippage abundant. The onion rings are a little overpriced at just shy of $4. They’re at least a couple of steps above frozen, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, even if they are fairly flavorful. I think if there were no cracked rings, they would be a little more worth the money. As it stands now, I think they serve as a good illustration of the dangers of refusing to adapt, even if the entire business model relies on it."

"Pretty good for the price. Burger and fries were tasty. With the chicken salad, the salad was pretty good, but the chicken tasted like it had been frozen a little too long. Fresh grilled chicken on that salad would have been fantastic. Service was good, and the dining room is comfortable. Background music stays in the background, so it's easy to talk."
