THE SHORT ORDER VERDICT

Short Order was a decent start to our new burger year. Most people at my table ordered Nancy’s Backyard Burger which has: Nancy Silverton’s dry-aged beef blend, North Country Smokehouse applewood bacon, comté, avocado, heirloom tomatoes, onion, iceberg lettuce and spicy mayo. The first couple bites were very tasty. However, halfway through eating my burger, the taste and texture of the bacon just became too overpowering and it felt like too much was going on.

The last three bites of my burger were the least enjoyable. It felt like those last three were the saltiest. Our server was great though. He was on top of his game! He managed to take care of our whole party without any errors. Overall the burger was good, but not great and a bit too pricey.

Here are the comments from our BEU members about Short Order:

“ Slightly above average burger. The Spuds were good though!”

“Liked the homemade pickles”

“Pickles on the burger were good. Spuds rocked way better than the fries.”

“Burger fell apart. Knife and fork saved it, and I was able to keep eating by hand. Fries were quite tasty.”

“This wasn’t that good. I’m a serious burger eater and I know.”

“I added fried egg, so that made the burger better.”

“Not a fan – these are umami-snobby prices.”

“Bacon flavor overpowered the burger.”
