Ben's Burgers — Restaurant in Louisiana

It's no surprise this place cuts so many corners--- even the first letter of their name is circular. If you're a local burger joint and don't at least make your own patties or cut your own fries, you're on borrowed time. Ben's food is pretty bad, but their taste in advertising might be even worse. There's some truth in it though---y'boy in one video says "...they just taste like the 90's to me." I agree: this stuff tastes like it's been sitting around in a bag since the 1990's.

Ordered the namesake Big Ben burger, a #4 burger, chili cheese fries, and funnel cake fries.

The burger: premade patties that were cooked on one side with little char on the other. The only flavor was the lighter fluid that stuck to my tongue long after I threw the burger away. The texture had the sponginess of an elementary school breakfast sausage patty and the bun dissolved as soon as I picked it up. The chili was almost definitely from a can and the fries were congealed and bursting like the filling of a wet diaper. Bacon was limp and chewy.

The order of chili fries: as above, except in the container it quickly solidified into a jiggling yellow and brown cursed brick of a jello mold. One bite gave immediate heartburn. I threw it away.

The funnel cake fries: inedible. Grease-soaked and squeaked like crushed styrofoam when I bit into them. Could just as easily use them as packing peanuts. They were capped by a wet cement mixture of powdered sugar, condensation and grease. Also went into the trash.

But then, even my garbage ended up getting indigestion from these dollar store ingredients.

So, if this is your flavor, save your money. Go get the same ingredients at a dollar tree, leave them out on a hot driveway for an hour, get'em all STIRRED on the asphalt, and voila: an authentic Ben's...

Not sure what to say here. I've gone here four times after midnight with the hopes that eventually I will have a decent burger. I'm not a complainer. Typically, if I don't like something I ate, then I just don't go back. I have a few reviews written in Yelp on certain restaurants I enjoyed. I've written bad reviews for terrible restaurants. Let me be specific here, this is not a terrible restaurant. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of Bud's Broiler. Unfortunately, each time I've gone to this place my burger was cold. I think it's because they use a frozen patty. I've watched the patties drop on the grill and they go on hard and cold. I've also order cheese fries, and by the time I eat them, the cheese is congealed and the fries are no longer hot. I judge burgers on thickness, juiciness and taste. These are relatively thin, leathery, and not exactly tasty. Sure, you could douse it with ketchup mustard and mayonnaise, throw some pickles on it, tomato, lettuce or barbecue sauce and what not and say it tastes good. In my opinion, the best burger can be bought at the foot of Canal Street across from the mortuary at a great bar called The Beachcorner. It's the best burger in the city in my opinion. And it's not expensive. But that's comparing apples to oranges in this situation. Look, if you're drinking and you want a burger to go eat in Metairie late at night, or early in the morning, however you look at the situation, then Ben's burgers will suffice in the same way Taco Bell would suffice. Maybe the analogy isn't the best to use, but that's the way I see it. I'd like to see a thicker Burger for the price. I'd like to see a real cheddar cheese sauce used on the french fries. Meh, the place really isn't bad. I just want to reiterate that. I'm just not satisfied in my...

Screw this place and the horse it rode in on. I placed an online order, showed up to pick it up, it wasn't ready yet. I then sat down as multiple people that came in after me were served. I went and asked about my order, and they said to give them a minute. I sat back down and continue to watch people served. I went back and asked, and apparently it had been sitting there the whole time. The people working there have no idea what they are doing, and neither do the higher-ups. There are still signs that say 24 hours, which it's not nor has it been for years and they can't even replace them. The whole thing is a mess, and it's a rip-off of buds anyway. Just go to a Buds and avoid nonsense like this. Seriously, get your...
