Mouthful / Priscilla Tsai Photos: The Burger Company
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 4:42 PM
The Burger Company opened today in Wesley Heights at the corner of Morehead Street and Freedom Drive.
The restaurant serves up burgers, hot dogs, salads and sandwiches, all priced under $7.50. They also have a full bar, which will make it a great neighborhood watering hole.
For lunch, you place your order at the counter and they'll bring your food to your table. For dinner service, they'll seat you and you will be waited upon. Keep in mind that burgers come solo, so you've got to order your sides (tater tots, fries, onion rings, coleslaw, chips, and sweet potato fries) separate.
For the burgers, the Burger Company grinds their own beef in-house daily. Burgers are organized into three categories – Classic, Alternative, or Stuffed. I tried the Stuffed Pesto Burger (pesto, tomatoes, and cracked black pepper with a burger stuffed with American cheese) for $6.50, along with the fried pickles, sweet potato fries, and also a few sweet potato tater tots. The cheese stuffed in the burger was barely noticeable to the eye ... but the taste was there. The tots were more like flattened sweet potato mash that had been fried. A bit too greasy, not enough crunch. The sweet potato fries were cut waffle style and were probably the best of the bunch.
