(Salad as the side for a burger? Inconceivable!!!)
Capitol City Grille, 9.20.09
I’ve gotta cut this place a bit of slack, it was only their second day, they were obviously working a lot of the kinks out, and I heard, after eating my burger, that their food the night before was even worse.
That said, the burger was very much not good. The meat was bland, the bun dry, I asked for grilled onions so they gave them to me..ON TOP of the regular chopped onions.
The lettuce was shredded, which I think was done mainly to hide how old it was.
Also, it was all served open faced, with the patty halfway off the bottom bun. C’mon, I need a fork to get my burger all in once piece? Really?
The wait staff was nice if inexperienced, the dessert, a big warm cookie w/ice cream, was decent, and the tvs were gigantic.
Place is a sports bar, see. Which, in addition to the other awesome aspects, meant it was filled with douche bags. Yay!
And just fyi, every other dish ordered by my group was judged sub par.
Maybe I’ll try it again. In 3 years.
Grade: D (Because it wasn’t nearly as bad as Hamburger Hamlet)
