Famous Hamburger - Dearborn

The good: So the food was mostly great! The fries were all perfectly crispy and the burgers had fresh ingredients and excellent taste! The waiter also let me upgrade my fries to the loaded tater tots which was not an option on the menu. 😉

The meh: Their Juicy Lucy (their most expensive burger) came out as a double with cheese in the middle. If you know what a "Juicy Lucy" is, you probably know the challenges of making one. It's like they took 2 of their regular patties, put a couple slices of cheese in between and just pinched the edges together. What happens is that a gap forms during cooking and the cheese runs out. Not a big deal except when it comes with a premium sticker price. The other thing was the loaded tots. They really slather on the sauces for each layer of tots which some might like, but it got very monotonous for me.

The bad: the one guy in the front of house was doing everything. He wasn't rude, but he is totally oblivious when taking orders. He asked me how I wanted my burger done and being my first time here, I didn't know if they were thick patties or thin, what kind of meat blend they use, how hot their grill is, etc. All of which could have an impact on which doneness would be best. (I love my burgers with pink, but if you get a smash burger with pink, that's wrong). So I asked for chef's choice/preference. The server then suggested that he likes it med/well so he'll "just write that". That's not what I asked for, but even after I explained what I meant and why, I'm not sure he didn't just end up writing that down. So thinking about it, that could've been what sabotaged my juicy lucy.

All in all, it was a decent burger with a good variety of options and. I wouldn't be opposed to going again.
