    cheeseburger and french fries
    Ben B.

    Do you miss the Nerf-flavored hamburgers you used to eat in your lunch room at school? If so, Burger Bull is your jam. This is a tiny, dimly lit restaurant that serves up burgers that look like they were created in a hurry from whatever was left in the fridge. I got the Texas burger and it did not taste good. The meat wasn't seasoned at all. It was cooked to a sad grey interior. There was roughly a 1/2 pound of cole slaw on the bottom. There was hardly any BBQ sauce applied. You could almost imagine the chef making this with one hand, while scrolling through Tinder with the other. My wife abandoned her burger halfway through. Just wasn't worth the calories, I guess. My 2-year-old son enjoyed the chicken nuggets, though. So I guess that's something. We were not welcomed when we entered the restaurant. When the food came out, the server just dumped it wordlessly at our table. No one seemed like they wanted to be there. And now I understand why. Steer clear.

    Burger Bull is located on Elston Ave (walking distance from my house). They took the space formerly occupied by one of my favorite restaurants Saigon Grill. It was sad to see Saigon Grill go but life goes on. I don't know why, but lately I had a hankerin for a burger so I decided to check out Burger Bull. As the name suggests they have a number of burger options along w/Gyros, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, appetizers....I opted to go w/their house burger that starts w/a 1/3lb Patty that comes w/cheddar cheese, tomato, onions & lettuce. I added bacon (cause everything is better w/bacon & an egg). The burger itself was a little disappointing as you could tell it was preformed in a perfect circle w/perfect uniform thickness (probably frozen). It was also lacking seasoning & was bland. After adding the lettuce, tomato and onion it was a decent burger. Now you add the bacon and fried egg & that kicks it up a notch. The price was incredibly reasonable $6.99 for a burger and fries. You add the bacon $1.00 & egg $1.00 and you have a better then average burger. As I mentioned the burger came w/fries that were pretty good, cooked nice and crispy Decent food, good service and good prices.

    I've been wanting to try Burger Bull for years. It's right on Elston Ave and I love me a burger. I finally got the chance to check it it out the other day. Inside, the place is somewhat small, but it didn't feel crammed either. There were about 10 tables or so. Some seated 4, others were high tables that sat 2 or 4. You order your food at the front and they bring it out to you. Not only does Burger Bull have burgers, they also have tacos, tamales, milk shakes, pizza puffs and wraps -- it was kinda all over the place. Being at BURGER Bull, I went ahead and went with their House Bull Burger. The House Bull Burger had lettuce, tomato, onions, bull sauce, cheddar. The burger consisted of a 1/3 lb. 100% black angus patty. It came with served with fries. The burger was ok. I feel like the patty was not homemade but was premade. It reminded me of the frozen burger patties that you get at the grocery store to bring to a barbecue. I was hoping for more of a flavorful burger, but it wasn't unfortunately. I also got to try the Texas Burger, which I did like better. The burger consisted of lettuce, coleslaw, onion rings, sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, and cheddar. We also ordered the mushroom appetizer, which consisted about a dozen deep fried, heavily battered mushrooms, and a side of ranch. Overall, these were good. Service was also good. We got our burger pretty quickly and there was a drink dispenser where we got our waters. The staff was nice and friendly. But burger-wise, I've definitely have had better. Maybe try out another food item instead. We saw a few Little Leaguers come in for the milk shakes, so maybe that's worth a try. But yeah, for a place with a name that has the word "burger" in it, I was really hoping for their burgers be the star MVP on the menu. BATHROOM REVIEW - there's only one bathroom and it's coed. Inside, the bathroom was rather tiny and consisted of a toilet and a floating sink. Strangely, the faucet had no handles so you had to twist on the faucet to wash your hands. There was also no paper towels in either the roller or the dispenser. Soap dispenser on the wall was empty too, but there was a bottle of Dial soap dispenser on the faucet counter. Sit or squat? Squat.

    Bland chicken sandwich (I only ate half), no a/c, soda fountains down. The theming for the place is interesting - there's a painting of a bull with a penis. With so many places to choose to eat from, I'd pass on this one personally

    Cheeseburger

    I thought I'd try them again. Sorry I did. I really don't know how they make these burgers. There was no grill activity when I was there. Like last time, only ate half of the burger before I tossed it.

    Gyro Dinner

    My first time dining here was a good experience. The gyros dinner and Texas burger were delicious. Good portions for the price. I'll have to try their hot dogs next time.

    Good food! Cheap prices! This place is in my neighborhood. So I'll be coming back in the future.

The single is a double patty and the double is a triple. The burgers were deliciously cooked and very hearty! Root beer compliments the burgers well! The crispy fries with the garlic aioli and mornay sauce were very yummy! The crispy potato hash was probably the lowlight of this meal... love the crispy-ness of the hash, didn't love the gravy. Service overall was okay, they were busy so it got slow once our food arrived. It does get loud inside so be prepared. Au Cheval lives up to the hype! We will totally go back for the burgers, crispy fries and root beer!

The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service! Almost everyone at our table ordered the Wolf Burger after hearing my sister and her husband rave about it. When our orders came to the table, we were all PLEASANTLY surprised at how beautifully stacked and dressed our burgers were. A triple stack of patties, topped with cheese, bacon, a fried egg, crispy onions, and housemade pickles?! That's a recipe for delicious success right there! The Wolf Burger was indeed SCRUMPTIOUS! My goodness, I am still thinking about it two whole days later and how I can't wait to revisit this restaurant and try some more of their menu items. An honorable mention goes out to the delicious fries on the side!! They were the perfect cut, well-seasoned, and out-of-this-world. I HIGHLY recommend Little Bad Wolf to all folks looking for a delicious experience! The burger is sensational, the environment is impeccable, and this is a great spot if you're going on a date or out with friends.
