what-a-mess. don't get me wrong. the burger i had here, the hickory cheeseburger was all right. it was just a mess to eat. jimmy'sbigburger (jbb) opened here a couple of months ago and i've just now have gotten around to eating one. they have over 20 different versions of burgers in their repertoire and i wanted one that wasn't going to be all-over-my-face messy. with only grilled onions, provolone cheese and hickory sauce, i figured the hickory cheeseburger would fit the bill. it arrived in all its splendor (see picture). nevertheless, once i had lifted it, the bun began to slide away from the toppings and it wasn't long that everything started to literally head south on my plate. this soon became a knife and fork lunch folly which seems to be getting more and more commonplace with all of these burger joints competing with each other, to find out who can build the largest burger with the most unwieldy additions. once i managed to deposit the burger piece by piece into my mouth, i'd have to say the combination of flavors was very good. the burger was cooked medium and the fries were the brown-looking variety usually brought on by cooking in old oil. it didn't stop me from eating them though!
jbb had a small number of diners there when i arrived about 12:30 and steadily increased that number to full capacity when i left, just after 1:00 p.m.. pretty amazing if you ask me. i felt sorry for the workers there though. it looked like they were understaffed. i had good service. i had a couple of refills on my drink and was asked about my meal at one point. only when it got time to pay was there no action. i ended up going to the counter on my own to get the check. there was a stack of about 15 of them. it had gotten so busy that they had no time to bring the checks with taking orders and serving the food. at least the food was coming out hot to the diners. bottom line: i thought the food and service was good. burger was very messy which may be a plus for many of you. since it is close to home i will probably return, but with all of burger joints in the lake worth area, i can't see myself here more than a couple of times per year.
