Burger Junction — Restaurant in California

This is a long story, I'll try to compress it.

1989 Burger Junction opens with brothers Ben and Sal operating the business. IMMEDIATE SUCCESS. A local car show "Florin Fat Fenders" joined every Saturday evening from spring until about Halloween time and it was a great scene.

It was one of my favorite places as a kid. AMAZING burgers (The grand always did it) and cool cars. The formula worked.

Time passed, the neighborhood got a little rougher, brother Ben left the picture from what I saw and although the food remained good, things like upkeep started to slide. Sal kept the ship afloat as long as he could.

7 Months ago Sal sold the restaurant to another family.

The new owners added Chaat/Halaal selections to the menu. My Parents weren't crazy about it as they said it tastes different. I had to go see for myself.

The Food: Yes, they were right, the food does have a different feel to it. The proportions of all the ingredients is not 100% there...yet. The bun is a little much for the patty and the burger seems to fall apart. The bun seems the same but its harder to cut for some reason. The patty (and in my case the pastrami) is different because it is halaal. However those flavors aren't it's undoing. My patty was a little overcooked and shrunk to a size that was disproportionate to the patty. The Pastrami was good but it was much thicker than previous and lost its balance of flavors. Our order was mixed up too.

These are all little things but really add up. I'm hoping the chef can take this as constructive criticism as I'm hoping they succeed.

The Ambiance: I'm really glad that the new owners are trying to clean the place up. There are new wall treatments and the Bathrooms look like they've been slightly remodeled. I saw buckets of paint and remodeling supplies in the back area and that was a great sign. The move to digital signage is a huge step in the right direction and the 21st century.

Florin Fat Fenders: I'm really glad this part of the formula was retained. I was walking the show and overheard people mentioning that was a part of the contract when selling the business. As with my aspect of car culture you really have to work to keep it alive. A lot of folks who have Hot Rods are getting older and it becomes a lot of work to keep the culture alive. I'm glad they are making th effort.

In closing there were a lot of positives to my visit today. I'm hoping the new owners can keep developing the business and bring it back to its former glory. I'm sure their wallets will...

My burger was one of the worst burgers I've had in a long time. I called in my order today. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Online it said there would be 5 pieces of bacon. There was only one piece of bacon. Not even close to half of the burger had bacon on it. Might as well have had no bacon. On top of that the meat was gristly; I bit down on something hard that I had to remove from my mouth. So it made me wonder about he quality of the meat. Not much tomato on the burger either, and I love tomato. There are sooo many good burger places nowadays, I can think of like 10 off the top of my head, so therefore I would not return here. I don't know about their other burgers, but I don't reccomed the bacon cheeseburger, unless you specify that you want a lot of bacon. To me it's just unacceptable to serve me this burger with one piece of bacon. I don't know what they were thinking. And of course I had to pay extra for that measley piece of bacon. Maybe they will see this review and improve the bacon cheeseburger. But I will not give business to a place that is stingy with their ingredients. I can't stand that. Don't be cheap to save money, this seems like one of those places. Sorry if that's harsh but I'm really disappointed with this burger and I prefer to spend my money at a place that cares more about the quality of the food. I'm also disappointed that other people seemed to have good experiences and I had such a bad one. But this is definitely one of those experiences where you end up feeling like you just wasted your money cause the food was so bad. Not gonna take this risk and waste my money here again when there's so many places that always serve me a...
