Hamster 1 4622076 The fries are superb. Thu Apr 23 11:05:48 -0700 2009 4620092 257090 thegirlwholovestoeat 2 4623511 I love UBurger. The papi burger's my fav Thu Apr 23 17:30:49 -0700 2009 4622076 173309 Danielle11 1 4623509 The burgers are tasty. Just wish they were grilled. Milkshakes are good and generous. The fries aren't as crisp as I would like and a bit oilier than other eateries' fries. Thu Apr 23 17:30:35 -0700 2009 4620092 278758 BroadwayBound 2 4629458 Grilled? Boooo... Here's an experiment for the summer...take the exact same burger, however you liked to make it (thick thin, lean fatty, whatever), and cook one on your outdoor girll and one in the kitchen in your skillet. I defy you to tell me the grilled one will taste better! Sun Apr 26 07:33:10 -0700 2009 4623509 14271 tamerlanenj 1 4623895 How does Uburger compare to Flat Patties? Thu Apr 23 20:04:20 -0700 2009 4620092 229023 robertlf 2 4624018 Similar burger (I like Flat Patties slightly more), superior sides. Thu Apr 23 21:37:55 -0700 2009 4623895 17548 BarmyFotheringayPhipps 3 4626627 I tried uburger today. The second location near BU west campus. It's exactly like you described and like you I prefer Flat Patties. I think because FP grills the top of the bun more which makes it more flavorful. The fries at UB were similar but a little crispier (better) than FP. Also, FP has fried chicken tenders / buffalo wings whereas UB only has grilled chicken. The interior design / ambience of uburger is better for what it's worth. I liked the conveyor belt! Fri Apr 24 18:29:47 -0700 2009 4624018 229023 robertlf 4 4628143 What's Flat Patties? Where is it? Sat Apr 25 13:08:25 -0700 2009 4626627 173309 Danielle11 5 4628242 It's on the first floor of The Garage, on JFK Street in Harvard Square. Sat Apr 25 13:58:50 -0700 2009 4628143 17548 BarmyFotheringayPhipps 5 4628963 In "The Garage" in Harvard Sq. It's upstairs from Felipe's Taqueria, across from Le's Vietnamese. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2009/04/26/burger_war/ Sat Apr 25 20:47:40 -0700 2009 4628143 229023 robertlf 4 4629529 The grilled chicken at UBurger is terribly addicting - I crave it occasionally. Sun Apr 26 08:00:01 -0700 2009 4626627 13574 pamalamb 1 4629470 Uburger is pretty good. I've given them some grief in the past because I think they overcook their burgers, but they are pretty tasty and they have a good house spread. More significantly, the fries are the best in the city. Really fantastic. I prefer Flat Patties burgers: still cooked well, but thinner, drippier, and greasier than Uburger, which can be a bit dry imho. Sun Apr 26 07:34:48 -0700 2009 4620092 14271 tamerlanenj
