I had heard of Burger Detour before, and my husband said they used to be around when he was a kid. It turns out someone just bought the name and branding rights and re-opened it all these years later.
We decided to try them out when we were in Elkhorn for our cats' vet appointment, and were driving by.
Their branding is almost like a construction style with black, white, and yellow arrows and traffic sign style accents.
We went through the drive through, so I can't speak for the interior, unfortunately (didn't want to leave the cats in the car, obviously, to eat inside).
The food quality, I will say was not the greatest. It was definitely plentiful, though, if that's something that you look for.
As an example, we got the "slider" burgers which came with four "sliders" - I use quotes for "slider" because these were huge, about the same size as a full-sized burger anywhere else.
Now, a huge size does not a good burger make. The burgers were just okay, being a little bit burned and sort of flavorless overall.
Their fries/frix were also kind of "meh" with not a lot of salt or flavor. Using a lot of ketchup, mayo, and salt - you can save these and the burgers, but you shouldn't have to do that yourself.
One thing I DID like, though, were the mini corn dogs. I used to love getting those at Runza before they stopped making them. Yes, I am a 5 year old and love mini corn dogs. The Burger Detour ones were pretty good, but you can't much go wrong with frying these up.
I would return to Burger Detour for the mini corndogs, but not a lot else, unless I want to doctor them up myself at home. read more
