_The restaurant itself is welcoming, has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. There are a lot of different burger choices ranging from usual to unique. They certainly do a good job with their marketing pictures online, which really made me excited to try out their burgers. The versatility of the burger set was nice, being able to choose the type of patty you wanted on any burger: beef, chicken, fish, pork sausage, or veggie patty. Then you choose two sides and a drink.
I tried the Hack Burger and The Three Cheesy (Burger). For dessert, I tried the Classic Tiramisu and the Cheesecake (with mint chocolate chunks). The Hack Burger consisted of a beef patty, two chicken fingers, cheese, and bacon with a honey mustard sauce. After the first bite, I could immediately tell that there was something wrong with the beef patty after drawing no beefy taste from it at all. I looked and prodded it and assessed that it was very far from being fresh; it was stiff and completely juice-less, having been pre-made and stored in a fridge or freezer for too long. The chicken fingers on top the beef patty tasted better, but still not great. The chicken patty for The Three Cheesy (burger) was not as bad, but still lacked the chicken flavor it should have had; probably spent a little less time in the fridge or freezer than the beef. It was supposed to have mozzarella, Swiss, and Gouda cheese, but it just tasted like cheap, tasteless mozzarella cheese. Needless to say, both burgers were a complete failure. Afterwards, I talked to one of my friends who had ate their about a month before and he had the same problem with his burger.
The Classic Tiramisu was completely horrible. It tasted like yogurt that had gone bad a day ago. Why it tasted like yogurt in the first place beats me -- there was no chocolaty taste at all; completely inedible! The Cheesecake that had mint chocolate chunks and a side of raspberry sauce was pretty good, but I wouldn't really call it a cheesecake, being that there was no cheesy taste, just more like a cake. It also didn't seemed to contain very low quality ingredients.
Vegetarian options: You can put a veggie patty in any burger to make it vegetarian, if there isn't other meat on the hamburger like bacon or something, of course. For burger alternatives, you can get the Vegetarian set Soft and Crunchy Quesadilla that is served with salsa, sour cream, and corn salsa.
