Brought the burger-loving boy here the day after Meatheads opened to check it out. It was packed, but we received friendly greetings from the staff (GM and owner(s)? were there). The restaurant has counter service, where you order your burgers and then go to your table while everything is made to order. We each got 1/3 lb meatheads (there is also a 1/2 lb and kid's option) and a large fries to share. There are many premium toppings available to add to your burger for free (roasted red peppers, sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions, sauerkraut), while cheese, bacon, avocado, and fried egg (!) cost a little bit extra. I got a handful of standard toppings, and the boy got everything. Our food came out in ~5-6 minutes. The fries were fantastic, crispy with the skins left on. A large ($3) is enough to feed two hungry fry-loving grad students. A sign says that these are cut fresh daily... filling the C-U void for decent potato fare. As far as the burgers go, I quite liked that I could taste the beef through the toppings. The burger ($4.50 + $1 for cheese) was greasy to hold (on the outside of the bun and also dripping from the burger itself), but everything tasted clean and I didn't feel like I had been salt bombed afterward. The bun was soft and sturdy.. appropriate for the type of toppings offered. My burger did not go slip sliding away. \nMeatheads also offers several dipping sauces (for fries or to be added on to burgers), handspun milkshakes, and two freestyle coke machines. The food is satisfying and tasty (craveable? perhaps), the location is clean and bright, and the people are friendly. Welcome to the neighborhood!
