    “Man, this burger looked great! Bun was tosted and held up well, gooey cheese, all on a thickkk patty. However, the disappointment kicked in when I took a bite. The burger was a bit overcooked. It was dry, lacked seasoning, and started to crumble apart. The slaw was dry and reminiscent of pre-packaged commercial slaw. The chili was meh. This burger could be so much better with some basic tweaks.”

    “This burger was spicy and good. The bun was god bread but kinda fell apart towards the end. The burger itself was supposed to be medium but it was more like medium well. The burger started to fall apart but I believe that’s due to the fact that they hand pattyed the burger. The jalapeños were very good. Which it wasn’t shredded lettuce but that was ok. The sauce was chipotle mayo and I liked that. All in all a pretty great burger. Wish it held together a little better but this was a solid burger.”
