II. The Burgers
Burgers were over done. A little chewy/tough. We asked for medium and it was more well done than anything else. Super highly seasoned especially with pepper. Every bite of bacon was really good.
Grilled cheese bun was very gooey. Nice and crispy and buttery However, Anuj felt it was too greasy.
Signature aioli OMB sauce was liked by Innie
Wheat bun was better than brioche
Brioche was a little thick and made it a bad meat to bun ratio – dk
Jalapeños not that spicy. Not noticeable by innie. Can taste the roastedness but much prefer the acidity (like from pickled jalapeños) no tang
Wayne didn’t have the beefy flavor but Angela disagreed. Perhaps the grilled cheese got in the way
Dk is over spring mix lettuce on burgers. Shouldn’t be a thing anymore but doesn’t want any other lettuce either.
Tomato was nice and thin even Angela didn’t take it out
Wayne felt the red onion wasn’t over powering so that’s a good thing
Dk thought patty could have been more salty and seared. Everyone else disagreed.
III. The Fries/Sides
Seasoned fries are good. Salty and well seasoned. A little thicker but great chew and mouth feel.
Onion rings were so good. Fried chicken style batter not beer batter. It was made with a butter milk wash. Nice and sweet batter.
Innie like the chipotle aioli. Super flavorful sometimes it tastes just like mayo but not here.
Taco fries are shrug… Inconsistent seasoning some bites had more than other.
IV. Miscellaneous
They don’t cook the patties medium rare.
Orders take a little longer to come out but it shows in the care of the presentation.
Soda machine on the side
Parking in the back. Limited with restrictions. They will tow you. We saw two tow trucks.
They do online ordering and post mates
Indoor and out door seating. Really loud on el segundo Blvd people seem to be in a rush.
Anuj – snarky
V. Value/rating
We found the value of the burger anywhere from $9 to $12 but if the burgers were done to our liking we’d be okay in the $16 range.
VI Verdict.
Innie said there was like no wow. Except it has like bacon. Our ratings ranged from 2.3 to 3.2 making it more of a ho-hum burger experience instead of the oh-my burger experience.
