Last night I ate at Boston Burger Company (also referred to by some as Burger Joe's) in Davis Square. It's a relatively small place that makes homemade burgers, chicken sandwiches, even veggie burgers. But let's be clear - the priority is on the burgers.
The BBC has a good size menu of various burger combos - some full of interesting toppings (like the one with bananas and peanut butter). I opted for a simple cheeseburger (with cheddar) and piled on the toppings - mayo (a new addition for me), ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato and pickles. The burger was delicious! This is no flat patty - this was a seriously thick burger. It came on a toasted kaiser roll that I really felt helped make the burger. The bun was lightly toasted so it provided a nice crunch but still soft. The burger itself was quite good, however I think next time I would opt for a medium rare burger instead of medium.
My co-diners (the Vegetarian and Stevie) ordered well. Stevie ordered a burger with a fried egg on top. I can't say I'd do the same but I salute her daring food choice! I should note that 1) this is not a first time thing and 2) she orders it every time she goes and the waitress asked where she'd been lately. Stevie officially has "her place" in Boston and I for one, could not be happier for her. (And very honored that I was able to go to "her place" as her guest!)
The Vegetarian had what looked like a very yummy veggie burger. I won't really elaborate except that it looked good and I don't really do veggie burgers.
Along with our burgers we ordered onion rings and sweet potato fries. Both were great. The onion rings were nice and thick cut (not Arnold's style which I also like). The burgers themselves came with potato chips and a choice of cole slaw or beans. I went with the slaw.
Overall I have to say, this may be the best burger in town. Although I normally praise UBurger as the best burger, I have to say these are almost two different kinds of burgers. UBurger is more good, fast food - a thin patty burger - these were serious burgers. I woke up still full this morning, if that gives you any indication.
Thanks Stevie and Jill for getting me over the river and to a great burger place!
