How would you describe your burger?
Queen:  Messy, good flavor meat, onion/lettuce- strong, egg- great touch. 
NB:  Fish – dry, but good
Vitals:  Messy, medium was more rare than expected.  Yummy bacon jam.
3 Dees:  Wellll
JC:  Tuna was great
AH:  Delicious!!! Maybe a little more seasoning.
JH:  Burger was great.  Could have been seasoned better. 
Two Napkins:  Really good, aside from the OVERPOWERING onions.
The Awesome One:  Good presentation.  Was worried it wouldn’t fit in my mouth.  It did, after I squashed it, but I have onion breath now.  Surprisingly, I loved the cole slaw.  A little too rare. 
The Hamburgler:  Tall, full of a homemade quality look to it.  Fresh, and light. 
Beaner:  Lightly packed patty cooked perfectly.
7:  Cooked to order (medium rare), loved the egg on top
kt:  The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the bacon chutney was wonderful!  I was upset that they did not mention the lettuce/onion coleslaw on the bottom.  I hate onions, and this was SO overpowering.  I would have given the burger a 9, but that onion really ruined it for me. 
Yoga Foodie:  Perfectly patty’d.  Big!  Not wild about the bacon jam. 
½ Pound Curler:  Nice soft bun, bacon & tomato jam was excellent, meat was perfectly pattied.
