Waiter was very helpful when I asked questions about dishes and when I ordered something, he made sure I knew what I was ordering. I ordered the Short Rib Agnolotti.. Think of a really soft piece of short rib in a pasta shell, very similar to ravioli. We also ordered the bruschetta, spaghetti, and risotto and those options are also really great, but that Agnolotti was the star of the show. Keep in mind, this is a pre COVID-19 review and I still cannot get over how delicious this meal was. I absolutely cannot wait to go back and introduce more friends to the best pasta of my life.

My friends and I were in town visiting and had seen The White Lady on YouTube and social media with…read morepeople regarding it as an institution. The White Lady is a food truck serving a variety of burgers and sandwiches, as well as chips. There is no seating, so they offer take away only. I was a little uncomfortable, as there was a group of homeless people sitting and laying down right next to the food truck. Because of this, I just wanted to grab my food and go. The food took about 15 mins to finish and we were out of there. They did have tomato sauce, as well as garlic aoli sauce, free to take as much as you want. I ordered the White Lady, which is one of their signature burgers. It had a beef patties, Scotch steak, Colby cheese, bacon, fried egg, grilled pineapple, fried onions, lettuce, and tomato. It sounded like a ton of ingredients, but I figured I had to try their namesake burger. I had taken my food back to my hotel, which was only about a 10-15 minute walk back. Understandably, the burger was a bit soggy. That wasn't the worst part though. My main gripe with this burger though, was the Scotch steak. It was probably my fault for not entirely knowing what a Scotch steak was. The steak was chewy and I was NOT able to bite it off each time I took a bite of the burger. After a couple bites struggling to separate the steak from the rest of the burger, I ended up just taking the steak out and eating it with a fork and knife. I cannot understand why you would put something on a burger if it cannot be bitten off solely with your teeth. It goes against the point of having something handheld. On top of that, the steak was very bland. The burger patties itself was okay, nothing amazing. I come from the United States, the home of fatty foods and the best burgers, so maybe I just have high standards. For me, this place was a one and done just to see what the hype was about.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here one night instead of going grocery shopping, as we were hungry…read moreand had been wanting to try this place for a while (I'd always walk by it and it looks super cute). I love the chill vibes and trendy but lowkey ambiance. We sat in a booth which was really fun and round, and though it wasn't super busy, we waited a bit before we could get menus. About 15 mins later, someone came to take our orders. The staff looked busy but there were 2 people working the floor there and only three tables aside from us. Anyway, it didn't bother me too much, and when a person came to chat with us, I asked them if I could get anything vegan. They can do the vegetarian burger vegan-style, as long as you switch out the bun for a gluten free one and take off the special sauce. I thought the buns were really cute and was a bit disheartened to have to get a gluten free bun, but I decided to give it a shot. The guy working there had an amazing knowledge of vegan things, he even knew which beers they had that were vegan. My boyfriend ordered the classic burger, which arrived much cuter looking than mine. He got the combo, which means he also got fries and a soda. The fries were a bit greasy, but I guess thats what makes them "fries." I still ate half :) He tried the blueberry and lime soda, which was super good. My burger was definitely vegan and gluten-free tasting. The "burger" was a battered and fried onion, with more batter than onion. It tasted a bit like fried white flour. It had a portabello mushroom on top, which added a bit of flavor, and I asked for avocado as well. There was the tiniest bit of avocado added, which was also a bit disappointing as it costs a shitload extra for avocado. (okay like $2 but still) The gluten free bun was, as most gluten free bread, crumbly and not ideal. I ordered it, so I can't be mad, but it wasn't the best. I think next time I'd just wrap it in lettuce. But next time I probably wouldn't get the burger, so... I guess I'd just go for fries. #veganlife All in all, it was a bit less than the experience that I'd hoped for. The staff was friendly (if slow), and the food was mediocre but decently priced (we paid like $33 total). I probably wouldn't go back, but I'm happy we finally tried it. If you're a meat eater, you'd probably like it a bit more than I did :)

The menu is not extensive but provides a good range of classic burger and those with a twist. All sorts of chips, curly fries and condiments. I went for the classic beef and cheese as I cannot imagine a burger without cheese. My boyfriend got the special which was free-range chicken, crumbed courgette and homemade hummus. I definitely lucked out - the foccacia bun was a nice touch but my pattie was paper thin, grey and dry as bone. Nothing to report on the salad or sauces all pretty predictable. Ollie's burger was really really good, the chicken tenderloins were juicy and the crumbed courgette crispy and delicious - the feta worked perfectly too. Not sure i'll come here that often, burgers these days have a lot to go by and The Flaming Onion needs to step up to the mark.

You can build up hype about a eatery quite easily these days through social media and such. But to…read morebuild a reputation of quality requires much more. And when you only sell one item, you better make it the best thing ever to stay around. I have heard about Better burgers through friends, colleagues and everyone was going on about how good the burgers were or how busy it is that they make you wait ages. With much expectation I came over for lunch today. I read all the reviews on yelp about it, some good some really bad. So I wanted to make up my own mind, since they only have essentially one burger on the menu. I chose to order the standard hamburger and a double cheese burger. Forgive me if I have discounted the veggie burger as an option. To me, a good burger has to have a number of qualities. 1. The buns should be toasted slightly, and not soggy. 2. The meat pattie has to be juicy and not dry. 3. Everything should be seasoned properly. And 4. The burger has to have the correct meat to bread ratio. To my surprise. Better burger failed to impress today. I have taken photos for this review. As you can see, the double cheese has the perfect meat to bread ratio while the hamburger with the lonely pattie does not. That's not really a biggie to some. Because they might not be able to finish a double. I do sense that's a marketing play though, since the difference between the two burgers is quite minimal. But what's unforgivable is that my buns were stone cold, and soggy from the tomato and wet lettuce. Don't get me wrong, the patties were hot. It's just the buns were cold, it's such a big contrast in temperature. It made the eating experience unpleasant. And flavour wise, the burger was poorly seasoned, bordering bland. It screamed for more sauce. The Chips were over seasoned. Now, last thing I have to be fair about is that the prices are very reasonable for a burger. $6.50 is not expensive by any means. And I do like the soft buns, they would be much better if they were warm though. Overall, I think I would revisit them in a while to review my review. As for now, you can have better burgers at any place else but here.

A "healthier", fresher, hyped, well marketed and more thought through version of a normal McDeeeeees burger. I've also read a few of the yelp reviews of this place and it's true, the more simple the dish the harder it is to execute. If you only have 4 or 5 ingredients in there... You better be careful how you prepare each and every one of them (MKR has taught me a lot hahahahaha) However, the buns are delightfully crispy on the outside and super soft and fluffy on the inside. The patty was seasoned, juicy and oily. Tomato and lettuce were fresh. Pickles were pickled. Fries were a tad too salty but nice and crispy with the skin on (plus the machine they make it with is mesmerizing haha I want one!) but that vanilla milkshake, bro.... So thick it felt like my brain was gna explode from the pressure to suck the milkshake out of the straw. I think the milkshake was the most filling part of the meal. So much so that I felt bloated after haha. Is it sad that I find the fries and shake better than the better burger? Hahaha okok I'll stop. Would I come here again? only if I'm drunk and hungry in town... That would really hit the spot.. (And then run across the road for some gooey mozzarella sticks...)
