The Great Conundrum of Little Big Burger
Allow me to regale you with tales from my visit to the gastronomic paradox that is Little Big Burger, a spot of culinary curiosity nestled comfortably in the hustle and bustle of our vibrant city.
In navigating the puzzle presented by the eatery's name, I decided to unravel this mystery with a full sensory experience. The burgers here were neither exceptionally little nor overwhelmingly big, comfortably straddling the realm of perfect satisfaction - an achievement akin to Goldilocks finding the 'just right' porridge. The flavors of the burger were bold and impactful, like the brush strokes on a Picasso painting - creative, daring, and not afraid to deviate from the norm.
Now, let me take a moment to extol the virtues of the staff at Little Big Burger. Ah, the staff! Charming as a Jane Austen novel and as reliable as a Swiss watch. Each interaction was handled with the precision of a ballet dancer and the warmth of a hug from a dear friend, adding to the overall sense of a well-choreographed dining experience.
But dear readers, it was not the enigma of the burger's dimensions nor the affability of the staff that stole the show. No, it was something even more precious. It was the fries, those humble sidekicks, that truly emerged as the unexpected protagonists of my dining tale. At Little Big Burger, they don't just serve fries - they serve shards of fried gold.
Every fry was a glorious symphony of flavors, crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Each golden, gleaming strand was a divine treat, as if Midas himself had a hand in their creation. Dipped into their spicy fry sauce, it was a moment of revelation, of enlightenment - a golden testament to the divine powers of gastronomy.
Yet, despite the near-flawless execution, Little Big Burger stirred within me a profound sense of existential contemplation. One might wonder: is the burger truly little, or big? Is the human perception of size merely a construct, subject to the whims of our collective imagination? The meal was a delightful dive into the world of culinary philosophy, a flavorful paradox that could confound even the sharpest of minds.
So there you have it, dear reader. My journey to Little Big Burger was a dance along the edges of culinary dimensions, an exploration of gastronomic relativity, punctuated with flashes of fried gold. Is it an eatery or a philosophy class? Who's to say? What I can assert with confidence, however, is that it's an experience worth having, an adventure worth...

Nothing memorable about this place. So sad. Wished for more. Pros: quality ingredients and price for value. 4.50$ for a quality meat product at 4oz is total industry average for similar quality. Fry portion for 3$ was a lot more than expected. Maybe 14 oz or so.... definitely feeds 2. Can always add a patty to get a full size burger that would be 6.50$ that is a great value IF done well. Cons: cooked to medium is still dry as can be. I really wanted it to be better hearing about for years had me curious. Now one was by my house. Perfect. Well not really. Sadly as good as the burger could have been it wasn't. I watched as the young lady cooking the patties smashed and squished all the flavorful juices and scraped them away, thus creating dry burgers. To bad. Also not big on the bagging of it, the fries truffle oil was sucked into the bottom of the bag leaving oil streaks on my leather seats and almost allowed fries to fall through. I would request double bagged next time. I hope next time I get a juicy burger.
Update: I have since eaten at the Orenco Station and had a perfect experience. I have just completed my 2nd visit at this location and indeed it to lived up to hype. I am so glad to see positive change and great and meaningful replies from the owner. This place is just plain great. I will be back...
