Review-Barringer's Burger
Now for the review: I told the waitress I wanted to hear about their cheeseburger. She started out by saying it's 10 oz of fresh ground beef, not frozen. Good start. So I ordered it with lettuce, tomato [extra charge], bacon [extra charge] with mayo on the side. Next did I want pepper jack, Swiss or American. Pepper jack, of course. I asked for sauteed onions, she said sure. Then she cautioned me that they take about 15 minutes and asked me how I'd like it cooked- medium and juicy of course.. The friendly folks from the group made the time fly. The burger arrived presented as Nicki's photo shows. It was terrific. Juicy, sloppy, tasty-just what I'd want in a burger. The cheese was melted just enough that, along with the onions, The bun was not noticeable, and that's a good thing. The bun should either be benign or really attract your attention in a positive way. [Which has only happened once as I can recall]
If you are really needing a burger fix, Barringer's would make an excellent choice. Definitely a 9+ rating.
