Met up with some friends and headed here for the first time. Hearing a lot of buzz about the bacon mac n cheese burger, it was something that I was gonna try first time out. So me and the lady both got the bacon mac n cheese burger, the triple t fries, and the fondue dippers. Let's start with the sides. The fondue dippers was great, it was very flavorful, the fondue was light and cheesy. The triple t fries were great! I would say one of the top truffle fries I have tried. Definitely a thing to try when coming here. Now here's the thing with the bacon mac n cheese burger, I read that it was one of Guy fieri's award winning burgers. The bacon was cooked great and tasted great. The burger was also tasty and cooked and seasoned well. Now the mac n cheese was a huge let down, the burger is complex and has so much flavors in the bacon and the burger seasoned to perfection, then you put mac n cheese that has been sitting under a heat lamp, dried out, clumpy and very bland on it and it just about ruins it. As great as everything else was on the burger, the mac n cheese just brought the burger down. I dont mind paying $20 for a burger as I love food and trying new things. I just dont understand why the short cut?? I know time is pressed and everything needs to be done as quickly as possible, but when quality gets sacrificed things need to be reevaluated. Also the burger does come with fries (a mixture of crinkle cut, straw fries, waffle fries, and chips???) but you cannot substitute the fries that come with the burger for the likes of the triple t fries, forcing you to buy an entire order if you wanted. Although the fries are a huge order and I was glad I got them maybe having the option to substitute the region fries that come with the burgers for them would be a good idea. So for around $75 for me and my lady it was expensive but in my opinion didn't live up to the hype. Sadly the only way I would ever get the bacon mac n cheese burger would be if Guy himself made it to his standards and maybe then it Will be the great burger that it is claimed to be.
