All the workers have forearm tattoos
-
At least 3 people are wearing beanies in the middle of summer
-
Bacon is $4 extra

The burger comes out on a bun drenched in butter and is so greasy/oily that halfway through it may as well have been served in a bowl
A guy is laying in the corner working on his MacBook wearing those brown Marshall headphones
The sound is provided entirely by a neglected Technics 1200 that nobody knows how to adjust accept the barback that only works on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Also the heat is cranked up uncomfortably high. The air is muggy. The whole place smells of onion.
The place is being run by 3 bearded lumbersexuals in flannel and ball caps having the time of their lives and a chick in overalls and her hair in a bandanna who could not be more over it.
Drinks are served in jars, and your fries, well, you get 8 fries in a rusty old can.
At this point pretty much all BOH staff in any resto are packing tons of tats. Probably easier to count the ones who don’t
Also:
- The waiter has a twirled moustache and wears a mesh shirt combined with a bowler hat
- The $4 extra bacon is burned to charcoal strips
God I wish my wish waiter wore a mesh shirt, where the hell is this?
In a place where touching the waiters is not included, sorry ;)
I hat that brushed butter bullshit. If you want a butter burger, it goes on the hamburger patty,
It’s also a dry pretzel bun
The biggest disappointment

This is incredibly accurate.
Holy shit his is accurate, wtf lol
There’s a restaurant in Florida called “The Ormond Garage” and they don’t serve fries with the burger. It’s another like $6 for fries that aren’t even that good. I went there once and they didn’t have to go cups for the meal that I called in… The server told me she could get me a regular cup and I could just drink it there while they were putting my $15 burger into a takeout box.
I contemplated walking out with the beer glass they handed me, but I just left.
I live near a place where the fries come with the burger, but sometimes you have to ask for them. The bean counters assume about 50% of the time that you don’t want them. Lunchbox laboratory in Seattle, in case anyone’s wondering. It sold out a long time ago and has been crap since
Yeah I’ve had a burger from a place that roughly fit this description, I was really sad when they closed because it was by an extreme margin the best burger I’ve ever had in my life.
Life is significantly worse without that burger.
Fuck, with all of the restaurants that closed during the pandemic, I feel this.
Places either closed down or dropped so far in quality they are now a shell of their former selves.
Exactly. A brewery near us used to have really decent food. But the quality was so bad post pandemic, we haven’t been back since early 2021.
I literally just opened a place like this lmao
Not Bay Area is it?
Good luck, honestly.
$22.50 is a lot for a burger, but I’ve had some burgers that price that are life changing.
Mine are 17 but have a literal 3/4 lb (smoked) patty and 2 strips of real good old fashioned bacon, two fried texas garlic toasts for a “bun”, the real fancy french mustard and my house sauce, the best pickles ever, 5 onion rings but no side. I can do this because I’m a bar in the middle of nowhere, not in a major city with staff and massive expenses.
Best of luck!
That sounds like a great burger.
But do you serve it on a plate? Be honest.
yes. You can search facebook for the Lucky Loon Saloon of Tompkins, Saskatchewan for more details, there’s pictures of it, on a plate.
That’s a shame, I prefer my burgers served on a snow shovel
I mean I have a snow shovel, and ten percent bleach solution. Always willing to accommodate.
Tompkins, Saskatchewan
Ohhhh you’re near Medicine Hat and the highway. That kinda makes sense now.
That’s right. Stop in for a burger, I’m open Tuesday to Sunday 1130 am to late. Tuesdays are beer n a burger 20 bucks, Thursdays 11 dollar wings (30+ flavours).
but no side
You included all the sides on the burger!
What’s the calorie count on that!?
As I’m asking this nonsense question, I’m thinking of the punch burger commercial from the parks and rec show where they say who cares, put it in your body!
Ok apparently roughly 850 calories for the hamburger, 175 for the toast, 150 for the onion rings, 10 calories for the mustard, 100 calories for the special sauce going by the mayo base for 3 tbsps, 200 for the cheese and roughly 150 for the bacon. So…1700 calories at a minimum.
LOL, that’s awesome. Almost an entire days worth of calories. Sounds delicious. You printing the calories on the menu?
This is the Parks and Rec Ponch burger this reminds me of. “Put it in your body or you’re a nerd!”
There’s a place called Bub’s burgers where they do a 1lbs burger challenge. They’re actually pretty good too. Not sure about how it compares nationally.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

No, not on the menu. I don’t actually eat like this myself, I’m a big dude, used to work the rigs, trades, cowboy, etcetera. I couldn’t get through half one of these monstrosities i make if I even try. Probably how I stayed reasonably thin when I was a trucker. Been cooking long enough to know what tastes good, I had owned this bar half a year before I even tried the burgers I was making people. When i do make myself hamburger, it’s like a quarter pound patty by itself and i just fork n knife it with some spicy sauce, or maybe with gravy.
Ha, thanks. Now I don’t feel as dumb for chucking the bread.
I honestly have no idea. Lots?
I love the federation sometimes.
RIP??
I see you’re in Vegas too
Any major city, really
In my neck of the PNW they may cost $25 but they come with a side
And that shit’s fire, worth every damn penny
My roommate and I usually go out once a month to snag some food from those places and try to hit up different ones each time
How dare you
Meh, Inn and Out burgers taste just as good as any $25 bougie burger.
Holy fucking shit. I have never had a burger or fries as bad as In and Out at any price. McDonald’s is better than in and out. Anything is. Kinda disqualified your opinion here.
Evidently you haven’t discovered their secret menu.
So there is a secret menu where the fries aren’t dried out bullshit and the burger patties aren’t paper thin with 1 inch thick lettuce?
The fries are shit, unless you get them animal style. The burgers are good especially if you get them 2x2 or 3x3.
You’re going to complain about lettuce? Get some fucking fiber in your diet.
Pffftahahaha, I think I’ve been to this restaurant. I probably looked at the menu, eyes bugged out of head, ordered a cider or something and left.
Virgin orders something cheap out of obligation vs Chad “prices are too high, I’ll just eat at home”
you ordered something? About time I saw that I would just say nvm lol

I used to do drugs. I mean, I still do them, but I used to do them too.
They serve “local IPA” on draft for $11 or, ironically, a miller high life for a dollar.
And it’s always warm
Very accurate. Unfortunately for me, the place that looks like this, also has the very best burgers.
Also serving it on anything but a plate.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot
I see you’ve been to 8oz.
Burger King has a new burger that I like, and it’s $10 (burger only). I would order it lots if it was $7 to 8, but $10 is a tad much.
Eating out now days is just too expensive in general. If I’m going to eat out, I rather go to an actual restaurant, because fast food costs about the same now days. $14-16 fast food mean vs $12-22 for sit down meal. I can keep the fast food costs down, but that’s usually without a meal, and/or ordering inferior products.
