Have you had an upscale burger in a fast- food restaurant? Burgerfi provides excellent service in an atmosphere that makes you forget how cheap your meal is.
The first thing new customers will notice when they go to Burgerfi is the decor. From the wood paneling on the walls to the dark granite floors, the restaurant feels like a renovated classic.
Burgerfi is home to environmentally friendly features, such as its napkins, lights and fans. Its napkins are made from recyclable material, the fans use windmill-like blades, and the light fixtures hold high efficiency bulbs. While the lights are environmentally friendly, they are far from boring. Eye-pleasing light fixtures hang over a large wooden dining room table to give the appearance of a fine- dining experience along with a delicious burger.
While the fancy lights are a good reason to eat inside, Burgerfi does have an outdoor patio section available year round. So even with the absurdly cold weather, patrons can enjoy the patio thanks to plastic enclosures and heating lamps.
Now if the content above isn’t reason enough to visit this joint, the food will be. Burgerfi has a large selection of high- quality choices. The main aspect that stuck out to me when I first experienced Burgerfi was the toppings customers can choose from. Burgerfi allows customers to build their own burgers or hot dogs, providing a plethora of options. Many of these options are free and only a few costing extra, such as the fried egg.
Each burger is made to order and served on a potato bun with the word “Burgerfi” branded on the top. Burgerfi serves thin, juicy patties. Customers who enjoy a hearty meal can order a double or triple burger while loading up their burger and condiments.
Burgerfi uses grass- fed beef to ensure the highest quality meal that contains no traces of chemicals or additives. To maintain their high standard, Burgerfi also serves Kobe beef hot dogs, and it’s safe to say that the difference is noticeable. High- quality ingredients are used at every turn at Burgerfi, from the meat to the toppings.
What surprised me was the list of toppings available for the fries. Most fast- food restaurants don’t have any toppings, and if they do, they are cheese and or chili. Burgerfi has a list of special fries that are sure to surprise and please customers. My favorite is a combination of garlic aioli and parmesan, also known as urban fries.
Burgerfi has several different size orders for its fries, and none of them are actually small. A regular order of fries can easily feed two people. Customers who are looking for a challenge or are eating with five to six people can order a bucket of fries. Though the fries are not served in an actual bucket, they might be able to fill one up.
Like many newer fast food establishments, Burgerfi has a free-style coke machine for customers to create their own drink.
Burgerfi also has a selection of various beers and wines. The restaurant sells craft beers are sold that vary by season, and are available on draft or in a bottle. Customers can even choose hard cider, such as Angry Orchard. Though I can understand the beer and burger combination, I don’t know many people who would order a bottle of wine to go with their burgers, but they can if they want to.
For customers who still have room, Burgerfi also offers frozen custard, available in a cup, cone or even a milkshake. Burgerfi’s milkshake options include: red velvet, vanilla, chocolate, banana, black & white, strawberry or peanut butter. The classic options, alongside the fancier ones, reflect the establishment as a whole: classic with a few surprises.
Burgerfi is a tad pricier than other fast- food establishments, but I found it to be well worth the extra cost. Two people can eat at Burgerfi for twenty dollars, including two burgers, two drinks and an order of urban fries.
