Burgrz is Good

(Please excuse the crap photo, as it was taken under the fluorescent lights at my desk.)

For lunch today I ended up going by Burgrz, a new hamburger place on Walton in Rochester Hills, roughly in the same plaza / parking lot as Trader Joe’s. I was initially hesitant to go there thinking that it’d just be just like Five Guys (which I find a bit greasy and salty but otherwise dull), but after reading the menu and seeing a much more expansive selection (including veggie burgers) I decided to go on.

After looking over the menu I ordered a veggie burger (not sure how this is different from the BOCA Burger, which is also on the menu) topped with sautéed mushrooms and blue cheese with a regular size order of fries. After being told that the zip sauce is a home-made sauce with soy sauce, honey, and cayanne I asked for a bit of it on the side. What I received is as you see above, a nice looking not-squished burger (detail of the patty here), fries, and a small container of sauce.

The burger was good, and I ended up topping it with the zip sauce which went nicely with the mushrooms and blue cheese. At room temperature it was a little runny and didn’t stick well on the burger so I ended up mopping most of it up off the foil wrapper as I went, but it tasted good so I didn’t mind. The waffle-cut fries were crispy and properly salted, and I received a few more of them than I could eat. It would been nice to have fresh-cut fries instead, but properly cooked frozen ones (like these) aren’t anything to complain about.

All in all, I think that Burgrz was much nicer than Five Guys, and is a place that I actually want to go back to. Ordering was fast, food took about 5 minutes to receive, and the place looks nice inside.
