Decided to try out Moxie’s Burger today. The description on the menu is “all our beef burgers are served on a toasted kaiser & topped with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles & grainy dijon burger sauce” I asked for avocado and I got it ! The burger was pretty good – not too greasy, not too dry. Overall, this is fairly average – nothing to go crazy about, but also good enough for a second time. Price below includes cheese and bacon added for $0.99 each.

Well, I decided to spend the day in Harrison Hot Springs and when I was hungry, I walked by this nice little restaurant. Of course, I had to try their burger ! I had their Angus Burger, which has tomato, lettuce, pickles, cheddar, bacon, caramelized onions and a chipotle mayo. I asked for fresh avocado and the server said, sure if we have it. I can tell you now, that they didn’t have it or they forgot. Anyways, the burger was very good, nice and juicy. I thought it tasted great; however, I wasn’t impressed with the amount of butter slathered on the bread – I actually didn’t finish the bread, because it was so greasy ! If I was to make further recommendations, I would say use romaine lettuce and one extra strip of bacon. Otherwise, this was an outstanding burger. If I had it again (which I would), I would just asked for an un-buttered bun.

After a nice kayaking adventure in False Creek, we decided to go to Bridges Restaurant. I had the “Bridges Classic Burger”, which is described simply as “cheddar cheese, bacon, fries” I asked for fresh avocado, but unfortunately, they only had guacamole. At this price ($17.00) I was expecting something over the top. When the burger came, it looked fine – It was presented in a closed fashion and had tomato, iceberg lettuce, white onions and a mystery sauce that looked like it was splatted on the top half of the bun – it looked like 1000 Island, but had a spicy kick to it – actually, it wasn’t too bad. Overall the burger was quite tasty, but the patty was nothing special. At this price, you must go with a prime rib patty or something special. Also, I’m tired of ordering fairly expensive burgers served with iceberg lettuce – I feel that premium burgers should have better lettuce, such as romaine. I think, at this location, you’re paying extra just for the scenery.

Mr. Mikes was the place to go tonight. They were promoting their burger at a local event (I didnt try it there), so I decided to try it in the restaurant. I had the Bacon Mikeburger. Mikeburgers are described as: “grilled over an open flame, served on our famous toasted garlic French loaf with Mikes special sauce and fries. All dressed or straight up – it’s the burger that won the west” The burger tasted pretty good; however, look at the size of those onions !! – I took them off – I think they would have ruined the flavour of the burger. I didn’t find that the special sauce did much for the burger – just not the right flavour for me. And the french loaf that’s its served on is unique, but a little too much bread for me. Overall the taste was alright, but I’m not crazy about this burger.
