The birr garden was relatively quiet today given there were no World Cup games but they usually have a crowd for the games. We got several beers and food. I got the grilled chicken doner which came with fries. My partner's royal spicy chicken sandwich also came with fries. Portions were generous and we were able to take some food home too. The food tasted really good!

I was craving a warm salted pretzel with beer cheese so we popped into this place (first-time…read morepatrons). There was an event going on so the downstairs dining area was full, and our only option was the bar or rooftop. We decided on the rooftop, which would've been super fun on a warm spring or summer night. It really was beautiful up there. But, it was cold and had been raining, so it was a bit of a bummer we couldn't be comfortable at a table inside. I figured I could get past being cold if the food was at least good, but the pretzel was dry and hard. They didn't offer beer cheese which was a bummer, so I tried queso and buffalo chicken dips. The dips were yummy despite the lame pretzel. The cherry on top was that the service sucked. The guy working the rooftop bar seemed miserable, like he would've rather been anywhere else. He was rude and snarky when we asked questions about the menu and made us feel like an inconvenience when we asked for to-go boxes. We will not be back.

The Great Hamburger does not discriminate. But I do. And I say this place is holy....for us burger lovers. The day: Friday~a little before the dinner rush, so I had the place to myself. No worries. The music was righteous. Soul and R And B pumping through the speakers. The order: I did a "do it yourself burger" but there was plenty of titled burgers to praise and consumer. The burger was cooked perfectly. Juicy and a hint of salt. The bun, fresh brioche-sweet and buttery. A nice selection of additives. I added avocado, lettuce, and grilled onions. I also ordered a vanilla milkshake. Well done shake. Just the right thickness, slightly less dense than soft serve ice cream. If you are a cult member of the Great Burger, then this is your church. Amen.

I ordered the Hot Mess and asked for the Mac & cheese and onion to be on the side. I wanted to try…read morea bite with the Mac & cheese before committing to the whole burger. Unfortunately I was underwhelmed. The burger didn't have as much flavor as I have had in the past and the Mac & cheese was just noodles. I was expecting cheesier baked Mac & cheese. And I think there might have been some spicy kick to them too. I picked up my order and ate it a little later, but the sweet potato waffle fries were also not satisfying as they were really limp and soft. A few pieces were crispy so that makes me think it's how they were cooked and not because of the delay in eating them. I could have crisped them up in the oven but I didn't want to go through that trouble. I didn't finish them. I still like Holy Cow but hopefully have a better experience next time.

Got the chance to try Bun Papa out at a recent Wizards game (they're located by section 216 for the…read more2023-24 season) and was blown away by how great the food was, particularly given how hard it is to serve up hot, fresh food at a stadium that holds thousands. (Well, it's the Wizards, so more like dozens.) The Papa Poutine, a mass of waffle fries covered with gravy, ground beef, cheese curds, green onions and onion straws, was absolutely fantastic, an epic combination of rich flavors that looked amazing and tasted even better. It's a standout, as it's the only thing I've ever ordered at a stadium and had multiple people ask me where they could get it. I was so impressed that I came back another time to try the Big Papa Deluxe burger, which was also very good. The two patties were cooked well, still very juicy and well-seasoned, with super fresh, flavorful pickles, a solid secret sauce, all served up on a notably tasty grilled brioche bun. The rest of the menu looks fantastic as well, and definitely looking forward to trying more soon!

Lately I've enjoyed coming back with the kids for mini burgers. This King Street location has turned me off for good. Visited on July 4 for a hotdog. It wasn't even busy and I stood at the register across from the staff member who said nothing and completely ignored me. I checked the signage and looked for a self serve screen to make sure I wasn't missing something. No, she just couldn't be bothered to take my order. While I waited I heard the manager take a phone call and apologize to the caller and promise a refund. Should have been a red flag, but I just wanted a hotdog so I didn't sweat it. After eventually ordering I noticed that a couple of people attempted to use the bathrooms, which were apparently locked, but there was no signage. I saw a couple of hotdogs come off the grill and they looked great. When I received mine, the ingredients were slightly off. No worries, I went to the condiment area to get some ketchup, and when I opened it the hotdog was barely warm and still had that red/pink raw hotdog color, unlike the other dogs I'd seen come off the flat top. Definitely got the sense that there are endemic performance issues at the place. I wouldn't have trusted any food they prepared so I just left and didnt even ask them to fix it. If it's like that at a prominent location like King Street, I'm not confident that they're meeting standards at other locations. Definitely not trusting them to feed my kids.

My go-to is fully loaded: onion, chili, mustard, and relish. That's the move. I've worked my way through a lot of the menu, the hot dogs, burgers, bean soup, onion rings, and mac salad. The fries are a seasoned wedge fry, which was a nice surprise and a step up from your standard cut. A large sweet tea is the right call to wash it all down. I still haven't tried the breakfast sandwiches, but they're on my list for next time. This is the kind of longtime local spot that keeps you coming back. Worth a stop.

Also the food is surprisingly good for Old Town! The BAD: Generally speaking, the beer list leaves you wanting more.. especially for the crazy prices they are asking for.. BUT, as noted, they are about the only place in town to go have a bite to eat while watching a game. The UGLY: How do I say this bluntly - the service here generally sucks! There are exceptions but 90% of the time, you will sit at a table or at the bar for close to 10 minutes before anybody pays ANY attention to you. And then it is pulling teeth to actually place an order. However, they will pester the sh*t out of you to pay your bill and leave when they are busy.. don't know why I keep going back there
