Doug E. Fresh's not-so-much-of-a-burger Cheese Steak

kt's Burger with AMAZING bacon

SUGARFIRE NOTES:

What did you order?

Doug E. Fresh:  Brisket cheesesteak (*SOMEONE thinks he is above ordering burgers…)

kt:  Single Burger with American cheese, pickles and bacon.  With a side of fries.

Yoga Foodie:  Single with fried egg

½ Pound Curler:  Double cheese burger & fries

How would you describe your burger?

Doug E. Fresh:  Brisket covered in cheese and green peppers

kt:  The burger was above average, the homemade pickles were perfect, and the bacon was amazing – but it tasted more like beef jerky (which I LOVE), and it didn’t work very well on the burger… it was too chewy. 

Yoga Foodie:  Average, solid burger. 

½ Pound Curler:  Meat was tasty and well seasoned, the bun was fresh

How delicious was it (1-10)?

Doug E. Fresh:  8

kt:  6

Yoga Foodie:  7

½ Pound Curler:  6

Was there anything memorable about the food and/or place?

Doug E. Fresh:  Great sandwich with very good sides

kt:  Very crowded on a Sunday night, and they have weird off-brand soda here.  I guess it is a house brand – and some people love it –but I was really craving a Diet Coke! 

Yoga Foodie:  Good honey badger sauce, and good price. 

½ Pound Curler:  Soggy fries L 

Roughly how much was your order?

Doug E. Fresh:  $8

kt:  $4.50 (burger)

Yoga Foodie:  $10

½ Pound Curler:  $7.50

Average service score:  It’s an “order at the counter and find a table” joint, so service scores aren’t really fair!  However, that being said, the kitchen/grill staff got the food out very quickly!
