There are a few specialty burgers to choose from, such as the barbecue burger, bacon bleu cheese burger, and burger D-LUXX (aka tons of shit thrown on a bun). For side options, you can choose from potato salad, cole slaw, home fries, white rice, steamed broccoli/cauliflower, boiled skin potatoes or chips.
I ordered the standard cheeseburger cooked medium with cheddar cheese. After about 15 minutes, I was presented with this 1/2 lb friend:
This shitty cell phone picture does not do this burger justice. It looked so good I had to take a bite before I took a photo. The flavor from the burger was insane. You could actually taste the difference the hardwood grill makes.
Here’s another shot, showcasing the large heap of cole slaw sitting on the plate. Secret: The beef is mixed with ground steak and filet mignon. So good I want to go eat one right now.

Totally delicious. Juicy, flavorful, aWeSoMe

I would have liked to have fries, but since it was not an option the cole slaw had to do. It was just standard cole slaw. Nothing crazy or outstanding.

Wasn’t into the denim tablecloths, as it was too reminiscent of the half-ton-man’s jeans (complete with food stains). Also, I ate most of my burger trapped inside a fart cloud courtesy of the man behind me. I can’t really hold Tessaro’s accountable for that, but I am.
Value: 7
$8.50 for the burger and side item. Not bad, especially given the quality.
