Met up the Cardinal for his birthday, so we decided to check out Blue 9 Burger since we were in the area. Now if you're a follower of this blog, we dudes are pretty picky about our burgers and amongst the dudes we have our own very strong burger opinions. Well, all three dudes that went were all big fans of this burger.

Our Menu
Blue 9 Burger Combo **
A surprisingly great burger. 2 double thin patties topped with lettuce, tomato, american cheese, and thousand island dressing - basically a way better version of a big mac. I'm usually anti thin patties since you don't get much juiciness, but here the burgers are incredibly flavorful and pretty juicy without cheating ala Shake Shack and their fried mushroom. Pretty damn delicious and even their fries are popping with good potato flavor.

Overall Restaurant Experience
  • Food – Best thin patty burger in the city. Makes Shake Shack taste like cafeteria food.
  • Service – Walk up order, get a beer and wait. Took around 5 minutes to get the burger.
  • Atmosphere – Tiny joint that seats about 15 people. Got there at 7:30 on a Friday and there were plenty of seats - maybe half full. The place was younger with a bunch single eaters there.
  • Price – Phenomenal deal here for the quality of the burger. $11 for burger, fries, and a beer.
Closing Comments
Love this burger here, but my favorite burger joints are still Bar Artisanal and JG Melon. Still need to do a back to back burger comparison between those two to see who's burger reigns supreme!
