Burger Stories — Restaurant in Paphos Municipality

This was my first of many visits to Burger Stories. The owner met us enthusiastically and provided attentive, polite, and generous service. My wife and I ordered The Cheesebomb Smash, and my friends ordered the Mac & Cheese Smash and Steakburger. The Cheese Bombs might as well be named "flavor bombs," they were very good. My friends also thoroughly enjoyed their burgers as well. Next time, I will dispense with the Halloumi or take it on the side, and, to get even more flavor, have the cheese bomb with a minimum of crisp lettuce and only with American cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise... maybe some red onions.

As an American living in Cyprus, I know a thing or two about the origins and standards of the "Smash Burger." I chose this restaurant because of the Smash Burger menu. In the US, the smash burger is created by smashing a patty of 80/20 ground beef firmly into an ungreased flat top or griddle, as nearly flat as possible, especially around the edges, for that glorious crust and maximum flavor, then served on a soft bun. In the US, we use a cast iron smash burger press followed by a stiff stainless steel spatula or bench scraper to make the edges as thin and crusty as possible.

I give "Burger-Stories" an 8 out of 10 stars on the smash burger crust. If your burger doesn't make a mess, it doesn't belong in your face. See...

Meat quality is a crucial aspect of any dish that involves meat. Unfortunately, in this case, the meat quality was below average, which made it impossible for me to eat it. It was tough, chewy, and lacked flavor. It was a disappointing experience, especially since I had high expectations for the dish.

On the bright side, the fries were good. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, seasoned perfectly. They were a saving grace for the meal, and I enjoyed them thoroughly.

The staff was polite and attentive. They were quick to take my order and serve my food promptly. They checked in on me throughout the meal to ensure everything was satisfactory. Their excellent customer service made up for the lackluster food quality.

However, one strange thing that happened was that I was charged for hot sauce. It's not something that I've encountered before, but I didn't mind paying for it. It was just an odd occurrence that caught me off guard.

Overall, my experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the meat quality was disappointing, the fries and staff made up for it. It's always a shame when a crucial aspect of a dish is lacking, but it's important to focus on the positives and appreciate the efforts...
