Midtown Lunch

Miles Table opened a few months ago on 16th and South, with the goal of being accepted as a neighborhood spot with its self proclaimed “where the neighborhood eats” slogan.

As for the menu, you are looking at  breakfast served all day, sandwiches, salads, pizza. Recently, Foobooz spread the word that on Wednesdays, Miles does a 1/2 off burger deal. Seemed like the right incentive  to get me over there.  Order at the counter and your meal is brought to you. Outdoor seating is available and it is BYOB.

The traditional ground chuck Miles Burger comes on a brioche with applewood bacon, remoulade, cheddar, lettuce, and tomato with fries on the side for $12.50. The real disappointing catch with the half off deal is that all of the super fun adds on are NOT included. Add ins like bacon, mushrooms, avocado, fried egg and another $1.50 and mushroom, caramelized onion, and roasted pepper are $1 each.  So once you add things to make it more than just a plain burger, the savings greatly decrease. But the burger patty was big and cooked almost to the medium rare requested. Fries were good; thin and crispy, with standard ketchup to dip them in.

I had the falafel burger, which comes with tahini, lettuce, tomato, and feta, regularly $9.50. Again the feta was not included in the half off, but I felt it was necessary to have it on top.  I liked the crispy outside, mushy inside  texture and chickpea flavor. As far as non-meat burgers go, I think I prefer a more carrot plus greens taste, but this has a certain appeal

It does appear to be Wednesday, the deal is all day, and while it might not be the super bargain I was hoping for, you can save a few dollars. So, if you are in the mood for a “neighborhood” burger today, this could be the place.

THE + (What somebody who likes this place would say)
