Coming from Maui, there are not a lot of good burger places. Really only one stand out - Burger…read moreBoys waygu burger truck.
So on my first mainland trip in a couple years, I have been trying different burger shops. Jack Brown's had really high reviews, had a super fun vibe, and a really creative menu, which I love.
Service was on point.
Let's get the elephant out of the room right now - the size. lol
I was prepared for a small burger from all the reviews, but, Shake Shack has a small burger, Jack-in-the-Box has a small burger. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight and the dog.
But I ain't gonna lie, that is one tiny burger! It's like...five bites? One for each corner, and then the middle. lol
They might be better off coring the middle, and marketing them as hamburger donuts.
The easy fix is just order an extra patty for a few bucks more. Same as Shake Shack.
The other thing I have a problem with is the, "we don't do lettuce or tomato..." line. Sorry, that's like a pizza with no toppings. Really, it just sounds like they found a way to reduce overhead by not having to prep and pay for vegetables.
But whatever... if great burgers can be made without lettuce and tomato, and without a big patty...let's get it on.
I'm sorry, but that patty was charbroiled to the point of no juice. This is where a tomato might help with moisture. lol
I don't see how this is actually Wagyu. A Wagyu burger should be melting in my mouth.
I don't know what happened, but it reminded me of my first job at Burger King, running whoppers through the flame broil conveyor belt. If you got one that just came out, you scored big time. But if you got one that just sat in the warmer for 10 minutes, you got a dry burger.
It was a very disappointing burger. Then again, I just had a Shake Shack burger yesterday, and it was nomnom greasy goodness.
Of course I was going to be disappointed. It's like Ozzy Osbourne following up Slipknot as the opening act.
The fries were great. They came in a huge basket, and the price was very reasonable.
