This was my first visit to Mojo Burger. I had seen so many glowing reviews, I had to give them a try. The fact that they grind their own blend of beef (sirloin, brisket, and Angus) was appealing. And they use locally grown and produced food was definitely a plus.
My son and I walked in on Tuesday afternoon to an almost empty slightly warm restaurant. I would guess most get had gotten their food to go because of the heat. We looked over the menu which is posted behind the counter on a huge chalkboard. They offer appetizers, burgers, sliders, a few dessert choices, and '"Sammie's." Everything looked so appealing it was hard to decide. The young lady behind the counter assisted with my choices by running down the ingredients in each burger (though they are also listed clearly on the menu board). I ultimately chose the Super Burger ( two patties, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, caramelized onion, chipotle Aoli, Gouda and mustard on a soft bun), Mojo fries (seasoned fries topped with Gouda, a chorizo gravy, and their signature candied bacon), and Elvis dippers (Nutter Butter cookies with a slice of banana in the middle deep fried, rolled in cinnamon and sugar and dusted with powdered sugar. It's served with a butterscotch dip ). My son, being picky, wanted something from another restaurant. We sat down to wait on my food. As I looked around at the strangely placed art that seemed not to match the decor, I noticed each piece had a price take placed on the wall beside it. The owners really believe in supporting local farms, businesses, and artists. Cool!
After a short wait my food was delivered to our table piping hot and smelling delish. First, the fries. The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The mix of slightly sweet bacon, cheese, and the chorizo gravy was different. After the first four bites, I was over it. It did peak my son's interest. He ate all that was left of the fries. I looked over the burger. It was a masterpiece crafted with care. Everything on the Super Burger worked well together. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had outside of home. The chipotle Aoli was slightly spicy but the heat grew slowly as I ate my burger. It was so big I only ate half (gotta save room for my dippers). I guess the young lady behind the counter must have been watching me because a short time later my dippers arrived fresh and hot. Honestly, the dippers were the highlight of the whole experience. They were sweet but not too sweet. The bananas were still slightly firm and the coating crispy. They were a combination of everything sweet I love (peanut butter, bananas, and butterscotch). They were divine.
I will definitely be back and suggest all burger lovers try Mojo Burger. Best burger for your buck. read more
