on the one hand, this is a "basic" burgers-and-fries type place. the burgers are basic burgers with a variety of toppings and the fries (the regular ones) are large, unseasoned, fresh-cut, but basic fries.
on the other hand, the burgers and fries are both amazing. i'll start with the burgers. yes, they are pretty basic, but they are made from fresh ground beef, cooked perfectly with fresh and plentiful toppings. you can get your burger in either 1/4 pound or 1/2 pound sizes. the burgers are slightly greasy and moist ... just the way a burger ought to be.
and the fries: some of the best fries i've ever had in wichita. yes, they don't have any fancy seasoning on them. but they are made from fresh cut potatoes and they are fried to perfection. these aren't frozen and recooked. these are made just like you'd make them at home. order the small (for one person). it's plenty.
i'm not a beer connoisseur, so i'll let someone else address their selection of brews. needless to say, they have a lot of choices. if soda is more your thing, they also have a variety of bottled sodas, but they don't have a fountain. they advertise 31 varieties of root beer, if you're a fan of root beer.
after this amazing review, you may be wondering why my rating was only 4.5 and not 5. it almost could have been 5, but i'll knock them on two issues. first, the seating is pretty limited. if they are busy, you may not find aplaceto sit, although when i was there, i didn't have to wait. (of course, that means there is plenty of parking available). second, the service was a little slow. given the size of theplaceand the number of servers, it should have been better. i noticed a number of times, however, the servers seemed to be standing in the back waiting for food to be finished, rather than going around refilling drinks or asking if they could help. please note, the service wasn't terrible. it just could have been better.
for a burger and fries, the prices may seem a bit high to some, but i think they are justified, given the quantity and quality of the food. but beware, these aren't $5 burgers.
in spite of those issues, this was still a great dining experience. i highly recommend fizz burgers and bottles and i'll definitely return.
