pricey for what you get. i've been excited for burgerfi to open up since i heard it was coming to cary months ago. the menu looked good and i like that everything was green, grass fed, etc. it seemed like a good concept. my wife and i decided to go last night and the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, from the lighting, the patio, the huge industrial fans, etc.
so, we both decided to order our burgers from the "secret menu" (of which our cashier seemed a little annoyed by) -- her the supreme burger and me the alternative style burger. we also got a regular order of fries to share and two hoppyum draft beers. total was $28. we are given a pager and we go sit on the patio. ten minutes later, we're buzzed and i go pick up our food.
first thing i noticed was the size (or lack thereof) of the burgers. they were about the same diameter of a regular mcd's hamburger with a little thicker patty. over $6 for this! i gotbackto our table and noticed that the branded bun seemed like it had either been steamed or had somehow had some condensation on it. it was slightly soggy as opposed to the nice toasted bun picture from their website.
my burger with cheese and grilled chopped onion on it was good. the burger was cooked nicely and the onions had good flavor. my wife's burger tasted a little plain, like they didn't season the mushrooms -- tasted like it was missing something. the fries were cooked well (not soggy), but lacked salt and thus flavor. i was honestly disappointed as i had been looking forward to it for such a long time.
after we finished the meal, i was still hungry, so we went to have pizza and drinks at bella mia. i will probably give them another shot, but for the price i can almost go to chuck's downtown and have an excellent burger and fries (and be full).
