Food description: Grilled burger with cheddar and avocado, side of curly fries
Food rating: 8 out of 10

Burgermeister has built up quite the reputation for having the ultimate burger, so I've been putting them to the test over the past year (I just happen to live nearby). The verdict? Great, but definitely not the best I've had. The best part about their burgers is the meat: high quality primo Niman Ranch beef. They use the good parts so you'll never bite down on any mysterious crunchy things, and the texture actually resembles meat, not sponge. Because of this, their burgers are somewhat leaner, so a medium or medium-well is going to turn out way too dry for most people. If you get that part down, you'll never have a bad burger at Burgermeister (they're very consistent). The bun is nice and squishy, not too bready and the toppings are nice and fresh and plentiful. Sometimes I think the burgers are over grilled, meaning too burnt-tasting, but that's probably just me. Also, if you're picky about bacon being crunchy (like me), you won't like it here, thought it's still tasty. Oh, and make sure to substitute the fries for curly fries. They're positively addictive!
