How would you describe your burger?
Doug E. Fresh:  Lots of different flavors.  Very good. 
The Punisher:  White queso, candied jalapeños, bacon
MareBear:  Very tasty, the perfect amount of spice from the cheese
P-Diddy:  Excellent.  Pineapple added a nice sweetness, the ham added a cool saltiness. 
Beaner:  Cooked perfectly.  Was not excited about MW (medium well is the only way they will cook their burgers), but ended up liking the temp!  Grilled pineapple and red pepper was fantastic!
7:  Loved the stamp on the bun.  For a well done patty, very good
kt: GINORMOUS!  I was a little skeptical about the required “med well” temperature, but the thin patties were not dry at all, and they were delicious! The melted American cheese was wonderful… If only I could have eaten all 5 of those patties!
Yoga Foodie:  Very juicy, tangy.  Excellent Tzatziki sauce.  Feta was very creamy, but kept it’s texture and held up to the burger. 
½ Pound Curler:  Soft bun.  Patties had a nice griddle char.  A little dry.  Burger was prepared medium-well.  Pepper jack cheese was very good.

The Punisher:  9

Was there anything memorable about the food and/or place?
Doug E. Fresh:  Very cool space
The Punisher:  Outside 270 border, dangerous territory out there…

Beaner:  LOVED the “grill stamp” on the bun
7:  kt ordering the 5 patty burger

All of those burgers and intense tennis watching wore Gipper out!

We had SUCH a fun time at Circle 7 Ranch when we visited on 7/7!!!!  It was everyone's first time visiting this super cool restaurant, and I am sure we will be back (especially because we are dying to try out some of the other goodies on the menu!)  Some cool things about Circle 7 Ranch include:  They are the first restaurant in St. Louis to offer beer taps at every table so you can refill your own drinks!  What a clever idea!  Their mac & cheese is topped with Cheetos (BRILLIANT!).  The decor is beautiful.  Certainly not your typical boring bar ambiance... this place is worth visiting (even if it is west of 270!)
