Note to City Burger: if you’re not going to honor my doneness request, don’t ask for my preference.

burger was overcooked and dry. there was no wait when i got there so i’m thinking they gave me a patty that had been sitting for a while. went for the big potato fries. they were soggy and i couldn’t get myself to eat more than 3. also ordered a vanilla shake. the shake was awesome and was the best part of the meal by far. i’m never going back for food but i’ll definitely pick up a milk shake if i’m in the neighborhood.

I’ve eaten there 4 times now. Twice it was great, once okay, once overcooked and pretty unacceptable. Guess it depends on who they’ve got manning the grill?

The consensus in my office a block away is “long wait, marginal food”. Many people went but immediately started flocking back to Cafe Duke. If the emetic fake shrimp at Cafe Duke are better (!) then City Burger is a place I will never even try.

I’ve been there twice. the first time was about a week after they opened. there was a crowd and i had a reasonable bit of a wait but the burger was quite good. the second time i arrived while two people were bitching about where the hell are their orders. my order was ready inside of 5 mins but it was only mediocre. it was cooked properly (medium) but rather bland.

i’m going to give them another try or two. my next burger will determine whether they continue to get my business.

When I went, they could not even figure out how to cook a medium-rare burger for the ONLY customer in the restaurant. I dunno about you, but that’s just uncool.
