Before you think I'm going to dismiss this burger joint, allow me to let you in on one important detail. I only tried one thing -
The Better Basket.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try the burgers, which they should be known for (according to the name).
So this review will solely be on the better basket.
For a price of
$15, you'll get TBB fries, buffalo wings, cheesy chicken bites and calamari.
I think paying $15 for a sampler is a little too much to me, but then again, I'm not a fan of samplers. I usually go for the main course.
Overall, the better basket wasn't bad, but it just wasn't that fantastic.
The TBB fries were one of the few things I liked. The texture is akin to Long John Silver Fries, but had some pretty tasty seasoning to it. It was sort of like having seaweed fries. They actually gave a lot of this, which was nice.
The buffalo wings were more like black pepper wings. They're a little spicy. As I don't eat spicy food, I gave those to my friend. She said they were pretty good. The texture was nice- it was well grilled.
The cheesy chicken bites were fine. They were a little dry. The cheese came separately, and tasted much like cheese to dip nachos in. It had a hint of spice, but wasn't that cheesy. I was a little disappointed in this one. I expected gooey cheesy chicken bites, but it just felt really dry.
The basket also came with a variety of sauces. This is one positive about it. There was a strange wasabi cream sauce?, a chilli, and somewhat of a barbecue mixed with ketchup kind of sauce. The barbecue one was a little strange when we first tried it, but we both couldn't stop dolloping everything into it. Hahaha. It was strangely addicting.
The calamari was all right as well. The texture was nice, not too chewy, which was great.
This is a nice one to share as the portion is rather large. My friend and I shared and couldn't finish it. However, it just left us feeling extremely parched. I just felt like I was eating a variety of dried food.
Still, don't let this review deter you from visiting the better burger yourself. I say go for the burgers! I know I will. I already have my eye on the avocado chicken burger
