We Talk to Bobby Flay About Bobby's Burger Palace

I agree with storm cadet, Terrible.

I work in the area and had seen the lines out the door so I ordered to go. I had the Napa Valley burger (watercress, goat cheese and meyer lemon honey mustard) and a few co-workers ordered various other burgers. We all agreed that the burgers seemed very small, thrown together, with fancy sounding ingredients that didn't really make a difference. The buns were basic supermarket potato rolls and came soggy. Also, the lettuce on one of the burgers was old and wilted and the watercress on mine was also very wilted and the taste almost unnoticeable. I thought that may have been due to it being take out but it has never happened with take-out from other restaurants in the area (Ruby Tuesdays, Applebees, Fridays) and another co-worker ate there and was equally disappointed.

As for sides (not included in the price of the burger), the fries were ok and the onion rings were pretty good but nothing special. I made the mistake of ordering the Hot Potato Chips as a side. I was expecting thinly sliced fried potatoes, something along the lines of butterfly fries. What I got was a single serving bag size of lays-ish potato chips that were warmed (I probably should have asked about them before ordering). The milkshakes were alright, but considering there is a Carvel and Haagen Dazs in the mall food court (the restaurant entrance is right next to the mall doors to the food court) I wouldn't bother again.

It cost about $16-$17 per person (with a burger, side and shake). I would place the burgers somewhere between Wendy's or Burger King quality and Ruby Tuesdays or Applebees quality (more towards the fast food level). Also the "medium and up" cooking level is strange because Ruby's offers "Pittsburgh Rare" which is completely red.

I know this may sound a little harsh but it was truly disappointing. I may give it one more chance after it has been around for a while and gotten its act together, though I doubt that much of the problems were due to being a new restaurant.
