208 Burger Q - Middleton

I went for the first time last week. The 208 burger was amazing! The tots were hot and crispy. I will be back. Excited to try some of the BBQ. Well worth going!

I ordered the 208 Burger, which is pretty typical of their offerings: elaborate toppings in tasty and unflinching variety atop a small, low quality beef patty. I would call that their only flaw; if they would invest a little more money into a thicker,better quality patty (or two), their burgers would taste like the amazing burgers they are instead of like a pile of toppingsmostly successfully trying to hide the taste of poor quality meat. Unrelated, I think they should work on their fooddescriptions a bit. While I was eating I got to witness several customers receiving what was presumably their first time orders,and most expressed incredulity at how different their order was from what they expected. For instance, the 208 Burger lists deep fried pickles on it. I think most customers would assume there were breaded, deep-fried pickle chips, but they wouldactually receive breaded pickle spears balanced atop the burger. One customer even returned the burger upon seeing his oder.Managing expectations is easy, just put deep fried pickle SPEARS in the menu description. Ditto for other vague ingredients.Just ask the servers which menu items get the most confused reactions.

The food is honestly hit and miss. I really enjoy deep fried mushrooms but these are always under cooked. If they were normal size they would be fine, but trying to use mushrooms this size just doesn't work.

Came in first time. Ordered mushroom Swiss burger and fries. Took maybe 5 minutes. Burger was excellent- juicy, cheesy and mushrooms! Fries were perfect doneness and seasoning. About as good as it gets for a simple burger meal. Very satisfied.
