Another weekend, another Berger Review/Chain Reaction. Bobby's Burger Palace has been a favorite of ours since it opened at the Smith Haven Mall in 2008. Believe it or not, that location was the very first in the now 18 restaurant chain. I read recently that Bobby Flay, the owner and celebrity chef, chose this location to stay "off the radar" for his first foray into the fast-casual segment. What he did not realize, was that that location was right on my radar, and we've been hooked ever since.
10 burger options are each interesting and well-composed. You can choose from angus beef, turkey or chicken for your "burger". And you can get them "crunchified" which, you guessed it, adds chips to your burger.
My favorite has long been the Napa Valley Burger with goat cheese, watercress and Meyer Lemon Honey Mustard. They are very generous with the creamy goat cheese and the combination of the cheese with the tanginess of the Mayer Lemon is a win. A big win.
Another one high on my list is the LA Burger with Avocado, Tomato, Watercress and Cheddar cheese. This one is on the sweet side, and equally as good.
JB's fave is the Crunchburger with the aforementioned chips included on the burger with double American cheese although it is the salty side. Tonight, to shake things up, he had the Dallas Burger with coleslaw, Monterrey Jack, BBQ sauce, and pickles. The burger is coated in a spicy rub although not too spicy.
The boys always go for the plain burger and fries. They cleared their plates in minutes and were surprisingly quiet from their stools. A good sign.
JB and I also splurged on a vanilla shake (delicious, but freezing cold on a 25 degree night) and a side of beer-battered onion rings (I didn't love the beer coating, but JB was a fan).
They also have beer, wine and a Cactus Pear Margarita, if you feel like imbibing with your burger. And the usual salads, veggie options if you are more calorie-conscious.
BBP has locations in NY, NJ, MD, CT, MA, NV, OH, PA, DC, FL...so put it on your list.
Until our next Berger,
