Sweet Onion Burger (SOB) is a menu choice at Local Kitchens (LK) in Campbell, CA. This new burger menu is the result of a partnership between LK and celebrity Chef Alvin Cailan.
This new burger menu has been around for a few months and I wanted to try it. I was in the Campbell area on a Wednesday night, so i dropped by the Local Kitchens on South Bascom. I'm a big fan of the Local Kitchens concept, and love how I can mix and order from different menus at the same time.
I decided to order:
- The Bacon SOB, $13
- Garlic Fries, SOB Menu, $7
This review is for food fresh and hot from the kitchen. I always order from the LK App, and pickup my own order. Service was great. I order showed up on the status board, and a team member helped me get my food. The place was a little busy, with delivery drivers waiting for orders.
How was the food?
- The Bacon SOB, Grade (5/5). I really liked this bacon cheeseburger. It's just the right blend of juicy meat, cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, and special sauce.
The 1/4-lb patty was cooked medium, and was very juicy. The hickory sauce and the bacon gave it that deep rich smoky flavor. I had the option to add lettuce and tomato for free. The onions were not overpowering. The burger had a "just right" blend of flavors. Worth $13? Yes, I think so.
- SOB Garlic Fries, Grade (2/5): $7 for garlic fries? Sorry, no. Menu says "Fries tossed with garlic and parsley. Served with Garlic Aioli." It's just french fries with garlic and a dip.
Local Kitchen App, ease of use, Grade (4/5). Use to be (5/5), but I noticed they automatically add a $3 tip. Sorry, this is takeout.
Overall, the Sweet Onion Burger is great, but skip the garlic fries.
