The Burger Place — Restaurant in Anaheim

I was initially excited about the place. Currently staying at the Staybridge next door, and since it and Holiday Inn are both owned by IHG, adds for this restaurant are all over our hotel. The menu and options look amazing, so I thought I would give it a shot.

I tried their PB burger, which is emphasized on their menu as one of their signature items. All things remaining the same, I decided to also add a fried egg and some of their siracha mayo to personalize it a little bit.

What was delivered looked amazing, and very appetizing. But after a few bites into the burger, I was met with something I can only describe with the word bland. I can’t put my finger on it, but it didn’t blow my mind. The burger was slightly warmer than room temperature. The patty had no discernible flavor. The bun was untoasted and super soft. The other toppings just blended with the burger without any crunch, bite, or extra flavor.

It was just bland, boring, and below mediocre. I hate using these terms, and I don’t like to be mean in my reviews, but I was far from impressed. I included two pictures, the first being the initial presentation, which was really good and got me all excited, and the second picture showing how much I actually ate before I just gave up on trying to find enjoyment with my meal.

The fries were actually really good. They had a good mixture of crunch and softness, and had some decent flavor.

The waitress was very friendly and attentive. No issues with customer service whatsoever.

My bill was $26 for the PB burger (single patty) and one draft beer (bud light). I would’ve been let down if my tab was $14. Way over priced, and no discernible flavor or features that would distinguish this establishment as being a “good burger joint.” Especially for the price. Proximity to Disney Land and being attached to Holiday Inn give them a false illusion that they can overcharge for a subpar product.

Don’t waste your money here. You can get a better burger at Wendy’s or Carl’s Junior. The convenience of being attached to your hotel isn’t worth the added cost.

If you just want a bar priced beer and aren’t concerned about the food, the waitress is friendly...

You guys, I just had one of the best burgers of my life here tonight!

Ordered the Black and Blue Burger (first pic) and it was INCREDIBLE. Here's why:

The patty was like half an inch thick, perfectly cooked (seared and tasty outside, fully cooked inside), wonderfully seasoned, with yum grilled onions, and the blue cheese sauce was so flavorful. The veggies were fresh and the bun was soft and buttery.

My hubby built his own double burger with bacon and cheese (second pic)! He loved his too but I'm the wordy one of us so I had to come here and rave on how amazing our dinner was.

We both got fries as our side, each of us received a huge pile (which I took the leftovers to-go, for breakfast tomorrow!). They were hot, fresh, and wonderfully seasoned with a special seasoning.

Also want to note: For bfast yesterday, I got the Breakfast Burger and it too was INCREDIBLE (huge and flavorful and would def order again!).

Our server tonight, Ismael, took great care of us, checking on us at the right times and offering us to-go for our unfinished beverages (which we took him up on!).

I'm so thankful this restaurant is at the hotel here and will definitely be going back for another amazing meal here before our vacation is over.

Also: The dining room is roomy, clean, and comfortable!

Burger Theory was a beautiful surprise. I was out in Anaheim working and wanted to have a quality burger. So I did what we all do, I turned to Google and found Burger Theory. I was a little nervous at first because I was hungry and didn't want to be let down. So I went there and was greeted by a nice young lady who gave me a seat near a big TV with basketball on, which I love. Sebastian was my server and he was awesome. He had the perfect mix of friendliness and professionalism. He was very attentive and also had some nice conversation with him as I was eating alone. Burger turned out to be delicious and I also had a nice house salad and finished it off with a brownie sundae in a glass. Also spoke with Aaron, the manager, and he was pleasant and friendly as well. Overall, the Burger Theory was excellent in food quality and customer service. Hard to find both of those qualities in one restaurant. Will...
