A change in plans this evening led us to South St Burger. Better than fast food? Yes. Are there better burgers around? Yes.
There were three of us. Two ordered the basic burgers, and added their choice of toppings.
I chose the Mushroom & Swiss add-on from the Signature Burger menu. The burger was freshly cooked on a flattop grill, which was then transferred to the bun at the toppings station. The mushrooms were ladled on from a stewing pot, and a slice of cheese was added. I think it would have made a better burger if the mushrooms and cheese were added at the grill, giving the cheese an opportunity to melt a bit before heading to the bun.
Was it still a satisfying burger? Yes.
Came in a few minutes before noon and there was a small lineup. I ordered the Nacho burger combo and had my food in less than 5 minutes. Tasty burger and decently sized for lunch. Fries are crispy and fresh. For some reason they added bacon to my burger without asking. I'm fine with it but if I had restrictions they would have had to redo the order. I'd come back.
South Street is one of those burger places that I always seem to forget about and I'm not sure why because they offer a noteworthy burger (made with hormone and antibiotic free meat) and some very delicious fries (New York Fries). There are a ton of choices among the sauces (spicy ketchup, jalapeño sour cream, wasabi mayo, signature sauce, etc), cheeses (Brie, pepper jack, feta, etc) and toppings (Cajun onions, avocado, cucumber, etc) which allows you to practically have a different burger every time. Unless you like minimal toppings/sauces, definitely spring for a 6oz (instead of the 4oz option) as I found the 4oz patty doesn't give you enough taste of the meat against all those add ins.
Here's are the components of my greatest burger ever had there:
- 6oz patty
- cheddar cheese
- spicy ketchup
- little mustard
- garlic mayo
- lettuce
- tomato
- Cajun onions
- pickles
- signature sauce on the lettuce
- hot peppers
Extra note: Throw several hearty dashes of the Garlic Tabasco hot sauce they carry by the condiments section in there too!! It's the best hot sauce ever!
