Roxy Burger — Restaurant in Vancouver

I'm gonna pretend this experience didn't happen. Nope.

This was a takeout order:

The Lamb Burger: Over the phone I asked my burger to be cooked med-rare and I was told that bylaw they had to cook it between med-well and well done. I said ok....let's go with med-well then......

Let's just say....the Lamb patty was so overcooked that if you take well-done and you cook it 3 more rounds and then another 3 rounds, and then place it on the bbq for a half hour....you get the patty I got last night. Everything that makes a ground lamb patty delicious....the flavour, the aroma, the juices and texture was completely scorched.

The Feta Cheese I paid extra for was more like a watered down fluid pretending to be feta rather than feta chunks, I think I had 1/2 of 1/2 a slice of red onion and that was pretty much it. It was well...an extremely sun-burned, anorexic on the brink of death Lamb Burger begging to be put out of its misery. So, I wouldn't get that one if I were you......

Fries were good though.

The Canadian Burger: The Beef Patty also really really dry and overcooked. You know for most of my life I've had burgers med-rare with the centre pink, and I'm still here. You'd be surprised when you cook red meat the right away how much incredible flavours come to life with texture that melts in your mouth getting irresistible taste, and on the opposite side of that coin when you overcook it you kill all the flavour and texture and just end up with something resembling an old boot.

The napkins were good...

Went in here to sample the burger menu. Decided to try the Roxy Burger and added cheddar cheese.

The first thing I noticed and loved about this burger was the fact that they used a kaiser bun instead of brioche. I swear to god every single restaurant I go to these days serves their burger on a brioche and honestly, I'm brioched out. Switch it up once in awhile people.

The burger presentation was done well. Nicely folded green leaf lettuce with fresh tomato and red onion. The pickle spear was a little dry but meh, not a crucial component for me in this instance. The house-made burger patty had that homestyle feel. Not noticeably seasoned but juicy and tender just the same. The mustard, ketchup and burger aioli was an acceptable combination although, I wished the aioli had some more defined flavours as I couldn't really taste anything beyond just mayo.

The house-made fries that came with the burger were a win. Some of the better fries I've had dining out. Golden brown, retained their crisp and some overall good flavour.

All in all this was a feel-good burger that left me satisfied for the price. I'd recommend...

Okay let's just start as I was walking down the street on Granville and there was a wonderful entertainment district happening at the time and as I stopped to look at the sign or sandwich board I noticed 450 pints I look left and then had to brace for impact because this girl to the right of me completely smashed into myself I held her up she got embarrassed and went walking anyways story being told went inside not super busy looks like the evening shift just started so it's understandable and the staff that were in attendance absolutely covered all the bases it's a good place I know it gets popping on the late night if you go there a little early you're going to get better deals hands down in there for a long time and you can always leak into the actual Roxy after big ups to Roxy burger and don't forget to tip your waitress or waiter/bartender mad love I'll review...
