It's been a while since my last post and I've had a few Arby's burgers since then, but I had an unexpected and interesting burger experience yesterday.
Yesterday we visited the Hill Aerospace Museum in a town called Roy which was great. Got to see two of my favourite planes - the SR-71A Blackbird and the A-10 Warthog.
But after we finished on the recommendation of a work mate of my brother-in-law we went to the Burger Bar.
At first appearances it doesn't look like much but there are a few clues that it's more than a usual burger bar.
Firstly it's been open since 1956.
Secondly, it was about 2:30pm when we got there for lunch and there were still people lining up.
Thirdly, it's got no seating but the car-park was still full of people eating their burgers, and it was over 30 degrees in the heat.
Fourthly, they produce their own souvenir t-shirts.
Anyway, I ordered the burger they were famous for - the Big Ben, and it is big, but very flat.
On the inside there's a wide but flat patty, lettuce, lots of pickles and fry sauce.
The bread is very nice, and the fry sauce makes it taste quite different, but it didn't quite do it for me.
It's definitely fresher than your average fast food burger but needed more meat for my liking. Maybe I needed to order the double Big Ben.
They also have Buffalo and Elk burgers and my brother-in-law had one of those and thought it was pretty good.
Having said that the best thing that they served was their onion rings, their deep fried mushrooms and their fries which were all really, really good.
So how do I rate this place?
Taste - 3
Value - 4 - Comes with great fries for a very reasonable 4.75
Messiness - 4 - Not messy at all
Would I eat it again? - Considering all the hype this place gets online and the fact it's been on television, I'd like to give it another chance.
