I had only gone to the SMB location, as I always lived around there, and I always got the same thing. (Garden Delux, no cheese, extra Thousand Island, cut in half, small onion rings, side ranch, and a medium Cherry Coke). I moved much farther east, and was relieved to find that an Astro Burger stood on the corner of Gower and Melrose. And it was a drive through! I drove on in, and ordered the usual, and was told they didn't put Thousand Island on their Gardenburgers, Huh? Yes they do! Anyway, I asked the guy if they could throw some on, got my food, drove home, super excited, and then.....dissapointment. Gardenburger was dry, and tasteless, and the onion rings were just horrible. Why? Is it owned by different people? So bummed. Fri Mar 06 12:53:54 -0800 2009 212582 schrutefarms 1 4481070 We have eaten at both and the SMB location does Mexican food better. My wife always gets the quesadilla at SMB, but would never get it at Melrose. The Melrose spot has better Greek stuff. I have not had the Garden Burger but the hamburgers at both locations are interchangeable.and I mean that in a good way.

It is on the corner of Santa Monica and Gardner, across from Fatburger. Be sure to get the onion rings-they're not the best I've had, but they're really good.

Sat Mar 07 06:35:03 -0800 2009 4480294 60993 bruinike 2 4482228 Nope, it's the regular one we can buy at the store. Sat Mar 07 08:49:35 -0800 2009 4481975 212582 schrutefarms
