Review - Burgrz - Rochester Hills, MI

Recently I went to a yoga class in Rochester Hills, and as always I was starving after. I spotted Burgrz as I drove down Walton, and decided I wanted to try it.

It's another casual dining burger place, that's become all the rage lately. These little burger joints are popping up everywhere, and at first glance this one is no different from the rest. They have a decent menu selection with everything from onion rings to salads to chicken fingers. The thing that stands at Burgrz are the fries. They have waffle fries, which are pretty rare around here.

I ordered a burger with blue cheese, bacon, onion straws, lettuce, and yellow mustard, and a side of waffle fries.The burgers are made to order, so they take a few minutes to prepare. Once I had my food I picked up the burger and the first thing I noticed was how greasy the bun was, and not from the burger. I'm not sure but I think they buttered the bun and toasted it, and gave my hands a nice greasy sheen. The first bite would have been perfect, but the lettuce was iceberg and tasted like a mouthful of pool water. YUCK! I threw that out immediately. The next bite was great! the onion straws were crunchy, the burger was fresh, the bacon was salty and perfectly complemented the sharpness of the blue cheese. The burger was perfect. The waffle fries tasted ok, no salt on them though, and they were kind of tough. I hope this was just an oddity.

Overall it was good. I'd eat there again, and probably will next time I'm down that way.
