755 Club at Turner Stadium
755 Burger

***

After my burger the night before I was a little hesitant to order another at the field. However, this was probably my only chance to be at the 755 Club and their burger description sounded good. The $13 burger was definitely better than the $9 burger. You could tell right away it was better quality meat. The fries were dusted with something sweet and were really delicious but I didn't realize under afterward it was a $2 upcharge to get fries instead of chips. Everything was really fresh. The service leaves a LOT to be desired. I am not sure how many tables she was waiting on but I only got 2 glasses of water during an 85 degree day sitting in the sun. I recommend the burger and hopefully you'll get a better waitress.

I know not to expect anything great from a concession stand. You would think for $9 it would be slightly tastier but then you really can't get too hopeful. I waited in line for 45 minutes to get this burger that really didn't taste like much. At least the lettuce was fresh & crisp. I can mark this one off my list and try something else my next visit to the stadium.

Cafe di Sol (round six)

Andy's burgers

I was worried when I first heard they were changing their name to Cafe 640 that it might affect the food but so far the name change isn't complete but the menu is still all my favorites. Andy's burger is just a mouthful of heaven. I look forward to every visit and I I have even fantasized about getting one of the apartments across the street so I can eat all my meals there. Of course, I would end up looking like the girl in Willie Wonka that gets taken away for dejuicing. As usual, the food was awesome. I savored every bite. I barely could spare a taste for my friend so he could see what he was missing out on. He had been going on about the fish special he was eating until he tried the burger. I think I have created another Cafe di Sol fan. Maybe i can start a fan club. :)

I braved tornado warnings to meet some friends for margaritas and tacos. Once I read the description though, I couldn't resist trying the burger instead. An 8oz Angus beef patty, with Applewood-smoked bacon, mushrooms, American cheese, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. The fries were dusted with seasoning. It was tasty but it wasn't the best burger ever. It was a filling meal, more food than the tiny tacos.

Longhorns

Half-pound burger with a  toasted bun, seasoned fries. I had another hard day of hiking before hand and we stumbled into Longhorns because it was the first place we passed. The burger was tasty but it could have just been because I was starving. I usually look down my nose at chain restaurants but they do know how to make something with some good flavor.

I needed something in my stomach to fully recover from St Patrick's day celebrating. I met some friends for drinks & appetizers at Fado's since it was probably packed to the rafters the night before. Little miniature ale-flavored beef burgers topped with Guinness mayo, pickles, onions and melted cheese were irresistible to me. They turned out to be pretty tasty also. I now know that is a restaurant doesn't have a burger on the menu, I could be happy with their sliders appetizer. Maybe skip the giant bun and eat it like a tasty meatball.

A tasty little treat topped with Boursin cheese, tomato jam & pickles, I thought it tasted tangy but never having had Boursin cheese before maybe it was that adding the extra flavor. I would have preferred a real burger but this little mouthful was a good start. I don't get to Meehan's very often so I thought I'd better go for this while I was there. As you can see by the finger for comparison in the picture, it really is just a mouthful.
