Jeffrey's Hamburgers

Date & Time visited: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 7:20 PM
Guests: Jennifer and me
What we had: Fish & chips (me), garlic herb chicken (Jen), onion rings

After our first pleasant experience at Jeffrey's, we wanted to try it again and sample some of the other, non-burger menu items. My fish & chips were above average; the fish filets were crunchy but not greasy outside, moist and flaky inside. Jennifer's garlic herb chicken was tender, not dry at all, and flavorful. And I've already commented on the onion rings.

Service: Counter-service. They were pretty busy so it was a bit of a wait for the food to be delivered, but no more than anyone else at the restaurant was seeing.

Would we go back: Yes.

What we had: Blue cheese & avocado burger (Jen), patty melt w/Gardenburger (me), onion rings + fries

We'd watched this place come together after the location sat empty for a year--it had been at least three other restaurants in the past--and now that it's finally done we had to try it. Both burgers (Jen's beef and my Gardenburger) were very good, though there was a bit of confusion at order time as the cashier tried to put my request into their system. The onion rings were cooked just right--neither soggy nor burnt--and the extensive toppings bar let us build our burgers the way we wanted.

Service: Counter-service. Aside from the brief delay while the cashier figured out how to enter "patty melt but with Gardenburger"--I gave them a pass since the place is so new--there were no service problems. The seating areas were clean and the toppings bar was well-stocked with fresh ingredients.

Would we go back: Yes, and in fact we have since this first visit.
