“Hamburgers! The corner stone of any nutritious breakfast.” While I agreed with Samuel L. Jackson when he made this iconic foodie statement in the film Pulp Fiction, there was way too much left open to interpretation here.

What he should have said was ‘good’ hamburgers. Now you’d think that it wouldn’t be too difficult to take bread, meat, cheese and toppings, slap them together and call it a meal. But then again, you’d be wrong. I myself had a horrible experience in France once with a frozen patty that was just awful.

However, Cheeburger Cheeburger tends to take a shaker full of TLC and sprinkles it all over their menu. You can order your burgers in varying sizes (up to a pound) and how you like it cooked (Tip: The wait staff will ask you if you want it Medium or Well Done, but if you say Medium Rare, they’ll do it for you.)

Choose your side (salad, cole slaw, fresh cut fries or amazing onion rings) and then the fun really begins. They have a literal laundry list of fresh toppings for your beef circle, from the usual suspects (lettuce, tomato, grilled onions) to the obscure yet tempting (banana peppers, peanut butter).

The burger itself is cooked as you order it, and the flavor depth rivals the ocean blue. It’s got just the right amount of grease (not overkill, but just a hint to know this isn’t something you could do everyday), seasoned well, and (depending on if you are a purist or not), the cheese is nice and melty (which there is about 15 to choose from here as well).

The bun is soft and absorbs the burger juices nicely, and the fries/onion rings are just wonderfully crisp. Their cole slaw is tangy, with that nice vinegar and horseradish bite. And then, well…there’s the shakes.

The cornucopia of frozen concoctions stretches the entire back of the menu, including your typical chocolate, vanilla and strawberry mixes, and reaching out as far as their more signature flavors such as Apple Pie (my favorite), Pear and Choco-peanut butter.

They are very fairly priced, depending on what you order. My last visit was about 12.00, and that included a ½ shake, a 10 oz. patty with all the toppings, fries and cole slaw. The ambiance is 50’s-60’s diner-esque, and the staff is friendly and high spirited. If you haven’t been here before, you should be there soon.

After all, it’s just Da(m)n Good Food.
