Not Better

by chrissykal

Tried out this place after walking by tons of times... I got a regular burger combo with fries and soda (Like $11). The burger itself tasted nice and pure but the bun was smushed, lettuce soggy and sloppy. It looked like the $99 cent burgers McDonalds offers every now n then. Fries were soggy but good. They boasted all kinds of ketchups and fixins but I found that there was only ketchup, spicey ketchup and mustard. It was ok but not BETTER.

• Pros: Supposedly Organic food, nice selection, a little unique
• Cons: messy food, waited a while, prices a little high

I've had better burgers

by brianimal

I had my second better burger today. I doubt I'll be going back for a third. The chain emphasizes organic ingredients but they neglected the most important aspect of food. TASTE! The meat is bland bland bland. The veggie burger doesn't fare much better. And the fries? Soggy. I had one and threw the rest away. I'm done with you Better Burger! I'll go to your much tastier cousin Good Burger.

Oh and your name is soooo arrogant.

• Pros: Healthy?
• Cons: Bland, soggy-ass fries, presumptuous name

what's better about it?

by nathb

Wanting a burger last night and too lazy to make it ourselves, we finally ordered from the menu, the "classic natural beef burger on toasted wheat bun" along with the 'organic better fries" and the smashed potatoes. I called 2 times, was put on hold 3-4 times. We thought busy place, great food. Yeah right.

The food arrived, the "toasted wheat buns" looked like just unfrozen old wrinkled buns, the fries were soggy and almost cold and the meat was about ok. I have to say the "smashed potatoes" were absolutely delicious and the ketchup with a dash of cinnamon was the best I've ever had. Next time I'll make my own.

Awesome for the health-conscious

by gina410

Just went for the first time today - finally a place my fiance and I can agree on! We're both have a passion for gourmet food as he is an excellent gourmet cook and I come from a restaurant-owning family, but my fiance is also a junk-food connosieur (sp?) while I tend toward the healthy, organic, whole-food fare. This place is good for us, he got a burger he wanted and so did I! The portion was perfect and he got a tasty burger while I had my veggie burger and was thrilled to see actual sprouts in it!! If you want to feel like you're indulging but are still people very healthy, this is the place for you! So glad we randomly stopped in.

• Pros: Healthy, perfect portion
