Friendly Toast.

I had a craving for a burger and my BF mentioned this place that got a glowing write up in the Phoenix. http://thephoenix.com/Boston/Food/869...

Well, two burgers and a PBR later, I feel pretty ripped off. The guy who wrote this article must have been dreaming about the burger.

I was pretty excited when we walked in an saw the eclectic decor. Loads of Adverts from 50's and a diner flare with formica and chrome tables and sticky plastic sparkly chairs. But sadly the burger was pretty bleak. It was flat patty pressed really tight and incredibly greasy. If I had to guess I'd say they were frozen before they hit the grill. For all their greasiness they were pretty bland... but the worst part was the $33.00 bill. For a $12.00 burger and fries I expect something along the lines of Four Burger, Druid or R.F.O. ... even Bukowski's has a better burger. (I'm a sucker for the peanut butter burger). Save your money and get your burger elsewhere.

I can't say anything else about the other food items there. They had a extensive breakfast menu and some great sounding items, but unfortunately I won't be going back to try them since I'm hooked on the Neighborhood in Union Square.

    Some of us prefer flat burgers.

      I have to admit, I'm not a flat burger pattie kind of a gal, but I wouldn't have minded if it had a bit of flavor.
