Burger Review #3 - Burger Garage

I decided I'd have a burger for lunch today. Just 2 days after Leahy's.

Let me first say, that I will return to Burger Garage no matter my opinion of the burger.

It's average. I honestly need to order the double burger to give a proper review.

But here is why I was "eh" about it today and the last 2-3 times I've had it.

it's a 4 oz burger, cooked medium(no choice). It's a mix of short rib, brisket and chuck.

I had this with lettuce, tomato  cheddar, bacon, spicy mayo and ketchup. Now, I don't normally have lettuce and tomato on the burger, i generally just eat those individually, but this burger is kind of the size of a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's.  I like those, but, this one is served on a potato roll(cheating). I love potato rolls. But, potato rolls themselves are good and with the size of this burger, all you really taste is the roll. Now, corner bistro also uses potato rolls, but i'm 55% sure that the burger is like 6 oz  And I like that burger(the 2nd time, not so much the first). The burger was just over-matched. I'd get it again, but as a double and even in the single state, it's not bad by any means, but it ain't a burger to talk about.

The Fries, those fresh cut Idaho Fries are the bar! They are what I will measure all fresh cut Idaho fries against. These are what I've also expected to get(I've had on par one's, but not so much consistently). SO GOOD!!!

I've had the onion strings, you kind of need a fork, so I stayed away this time.

I did have a Brooklyn Brown Ale, which was great. Yes, they have beers on tap.

Maybe I'll give this place an incomplete until my next visit. It did make it to round 2 of Burger Bracket. But that could have had something to do with the very poor showing by the competing bar down the street.
