After Crust and all the hype about the new burger place, this was Sofa King disappointing.

Today was the day. Today was the start of Burger Tour 2013. The first place drawn was Sofa King Juicy Burger. My expectations were pretty low after reading some reviews and seeing such a low approval rating on Urban Spoon. The first thing I noticed when we arrived was the lack of seating. The second thing was the chaos at the counter where you place your order. You place your order at one end of the counter and pay at the other end. This would be fine except that when your name is called over the obnoxiously loud bull horn, you pick up your order at the same end of the counter where you placed your order. This causes people to have to break in line just to pick up their food. After placing our order, it took about ten minutes to get our food (this was very quick compared to the reviews I read on Urban Spoon). The first thing I tried were the fries. The fries were horrible (we all agreed). Next I took a bite of my burger. The burger was not juicy as their name proclaims. The special sauce was not "special" and the fries and burger left much to be desired. For the price, I'd expect a really good burger. Burger Tour 2013 is not off to a good start. It will not be hard to top Sofa King. My overall score: F

Big letdown. There are three things that the owners need to do quickly to save this place. First, fix the line. All it would take is a few stickers on the floor to make the line begin at the cash register and end at the door. The way it currently is set up, everyone has to break line to get their food. Second, get rid of the stupid speaker. I get it, you think it's cool to use a 50's era megaphone as your loud speaker. The problem is that it's loud, the quality is crappy, and in a space this size you don't need a speaker at all. Ditch it. Finally, you must lower the prices. The food just isn't good enough for what you are charging. The burgers are REALLY dry and the fries suck. I won't be going back. Overall score: F-
Cracker Barrel burger would have been better
ReplyDeleteMark gave the Sides a 21 because he got the rings. Russell and I got the fries. Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the hand sanitizer category?
ReplyDeleteI know who you are.
DeleteJohn's critique is lacking...i am going to need more information before i decide. Russ is critical about everything so I can't count on his reviews at all.
