Ah, Burger Theory, an establishment I approached with visions of beefy delights dancing in my head. A simple craving for a blue bacon cheeseburger on a potato bun had me eagerly perched on the edge of my seat. But as the culinary curtain rose, the performance took an unexpected turn.
With the air of an adventurous gastronome, I placed my order. In a twist worthy of a culinary detective novel, I was served a chicken sandwich – not just any, mind you, but one inexplicably adorned with bacon, all lavished with blue cheese dressing and crumbles, ensconced in the tender clasp of the anticipated potato bun. As I stared at the bacon-clad chicken creation, it was as if reality had slipped on a banana peel.
It was as if Burger Theory had penned a new chapter in the realm of food fusion where chickens claimed their space on the burger stage, bacon played the unexpected supporting role, and potato buns were thrust into this unprecedented storyline.
The service added another layer to this surreal tableau. With a skeleton crew that could make a ghost town look overpopulated, my inquiries were met with more silence than the missing beef in my sandwich. It was like dining in an eerie echo chamber, save for the sporadic clatter of dishes.
Finally, an act of redemption occurred. The misdirected chicken sandwich was replaced with the true-blue (cheese) burger, but not without delivering a coup de grâce - a bill that charged full price for the initial poultry performance. A standing ovation for correcting their own burger drama? I think not.
So, if you're in for a culinary rollercoaster ride with a side of service ghosting, Burger Theory offers an unforgettable show. But for those, like me, who yearn for the unadorned pleasure of a blue bacon cheeseburger on a potato bun, the quest is far from over.
Perhaps, in a world where chickens don the cape of burgers, we'll find our dream burger in a bakery or a seafood shack. With the Burger Theory at play, only time (and perhaps another...
Read moreThis burger place is a hidden gem that should be on everyone's list for a great, artisenal burger. Located in the new Holiday Inn Hotel just a mile off of I-15 in St. George, it's worth a stop if you live in St. George or if you're one of the thousands that travel the I-15 every day. They start off with their own grind of meat- Black Angus chuck, brisket, and short rib. This mix is what the super high end gourmet burger restaurants use. Just the right blend for flavor and fat content. The 1/3# burgers come out juicy and cooked to order. They do have a half pounder, if you don't have to drive after eating!! The artisan angle is their 'build your own" burger with a list of add ons to fit anyone's tastebuds. They also have their own crazy combo burgers like the "Bruben Melt" (burger, corned beef, cheese, slaw etc.) and the "Portobello Burger" and "Farm Fresh" for those who can't seem to get their mouths around red meat. I had the "Classic" which was cheese, grilled onions, T.L.P. and their special sauce. It was FABULOUS!! Hubby had the parmesan crusted fish tacos - 3 to an order. Fries were superb, onion rings were not homemade but the server said they are "awesome." Having heard this before, I ordered half fries and half rings. They WERE AWESOME! There are chicken dishes, house marinated Sriracha ribeye steaks, and don't forget breakfast. If we lived closer we would definitely try egg sandwiches, burritos, skillets, on and on. Best of all, if you need a Mom and Dad date-night and you can't afford a sitter, KIDS EAT FREE! Service was fast, had our meals within about 10 minutes. Waddled out a while later. Check out their menu for lots more choices. We live 40 miles away but it's going to be a nice little road trip for a burger when we're in the mood. It's not the cheapest burger, but worth...
Read moreDon’t waste your money, but especially your time. Everything about this restaurant was a disaster. The only positive I can say is the cheeseburger was decent and so were the sweet potato fries. Now for the negatives: first of all the place was NOT busy. Because of covid every other table was empty. I counted 6 waiters and bar tenders with only a handful of tables so they had plenty of staff. When we arrived it took 10 minutes for them to get us menus (for which we had to stop a waitress to ask) and we had to share two between 5 of us. Another 15 minutes before they asked what we wanted to drink. No check ups, not one refill. It took 45 minutes for us to get our food. Here’s the kicker though: when they dropped off our food we had to ask for napkins and I also requested a fork for my wife who got the fish tacos, which were pretty messy by the way. The waitress looked at me confused and my wife responded with “it’s fine I don’t need one” and the waitress responded with a sarcastic “you eat them with your hands....like tacos!” We saw our waiter twice the whole night. Once to place the order and a second time for the check. The table across from us was all adults, and a larger group. The waiter visited them constantly. I feel like there was some stigma against us having three kids perhaps (who were very well behaved btw). The meat and corned beef were overcooked, the kids mac and cheese was identical to Kraft. I don’t do many negative reviews, but that kind of customer service needs...
