The Scene – Welcome to the new fast-food nation: A bright, modern burger joint with orange polka-dot decor, loud music, campy comic-book posters (featuring superhero mascots like Buns-o-steel) and an organic, natural menu with meat- and dairy-free options. It's already a neighborhood hangout, particularly with the hard bodies who clamor for the metal-flaked bar stools and big booths. – – The Food – When the counter guy asks, "Would you like better fries with that?" say "Yes." The crispy air-baked potatoes are the best things on the menu. Go with the flavorful chicken…

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
