Another day and another burger. This time the pretty, pretty, pretty awesome Irving Mill. I'm probably the last foodie to hit this place up, but better late than never. With so many awesome burgers popping up around town, it's hard to be impressed by burgers anymore. This place definitely has the wow factor going on. I give the restaurant an 86/100.

Dish Comments
1) Nice crispy crust on the outside, big beefy flavor, ridiculously juicy and tons of fat dripping through. The bun is soft and slightly sweet. I ate the burger first without the pickles and onions, but adding them made everything tasty beefier. The size of the burger was on the smaller side - maybe 1/4 lb? This website has the mix: 35% whole beef cheeks, 35% flap meat, 35% pork fatback.

Overall Restaurant Experience (86/100)

• Food 8.6/10 – Pretty spectacular burger, but after having so many burgers - it's hard to be 100% blown away. Fries had huge potato flavor, but was oddly barely crispy but still soft and tender on the inside.
  
• Service 9.0/10 – Food came out insanely quick and the waiter took our order right away.
  
• Atmosphere 7.5/10 – Dark and swank inside. Lots of dark wood everywhere - more of an upscale joint. Got there at 8:15pm on a Monday and was seated immediately. Crowd consisted of large groups of people in ties and business attire.
  
• Price 9.5/10 – $13 for a burger and a beer. Phenomenal deal and it's not just bud lights only - the deal includes any beer on the menu. I ordered a nice Octoberfest which paired well with the spectacular burger. Phenomenal deal!
  

Closing Comments
This burger was pretty f'n spectacular. Me thinks the Bar Artisanal burger is still tops, but regardless this place rocks.
