Located in the heart of Sundance Square downtown, this bar is a hot spot for tourists (not locals.) This used ot be a fun place in the days when you could eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor.

Burger was dry and uninspired. It comes plane on a Mrs Bairds bun and you make it your way in the old style "fixins" bar. Portion is 1/2 pound.

Burgers are served on a wrapper in a tray with the fries in thier own basket. Appearance was dissapointing and temperature was okay. Honestly tweeted that Whataburger beats this easy.

The Rules

First, most people argue over the best burger when they are not comparing burgers to burgers. We are not saying it is an apples and oranges conversation - or are we? After all apples and oranges are really more alike than not. They are both fruits. Maybe the saying should be apples and tires?

Anyway, when you compare burgers, you have to compare the basic cheeseburger and not the "flaming" or "gigantor" or "diablo" anything. Order the basic cheeseburger and then compare. (This does get tough when a nice fried quail egg or spicy queso is the main burger, but you get the point and rules are rules.)

To truly understand these reviews, you must know how we view cheeseburgers. My friend Jim Collin's opening line in the book Good to Great says, 'Good is the enemy of great.' So, always remember that there are a lot of good burgers out there, but we are looking for greatness.

Please join the discussion and post your comments. We love it.
