Another great year at BurgerFest! It was definitely the hottest one I've been to with temperatures…read morenearing 90+°. First things first: there is no admission fee and parking is free. Always park along the side streets or in the school parking lot. It's a walkable distance. If you have a mobility impairment, it might be hard to find a parking spot during peak times since a lot is going on in the village. Food tickets: 50¢ per food ticket and no item is over 12 tickets (so for $6 you can get a full portion of a burger or other entree). I brought $20 with me and was FULL. I had around 10 tickets left over which I passed along to a friend who was staying later. The burgers: I am SHOOK that people say they can't seem to find burgers at BurgerFest... there had to be around 15-17 different types and styles of burgers! From a burger taco to pierogi and grilled cheese - to ice cream sandwiches- lots of creativity along with the classic burgers. Entertainment: Terry Buckwald is always a crowd pleaser and kept our spirits high in the heat! Lots of fun with those we sat by! Oh- did I forget to mention that there is shade areas with tables and chairs??? They have a good amount of tents to cool off under and sit/eat food! Main Street has a lot of fun with their performers and car show! Will be back again next year!!!

What better way to spend a Saturday than to Judge Burgers at Burgerfest, I get to bring my…read moreCritiquing and Opinions where they can be shared with other Big Time Foodies. I get to Judge with other Yelpers, unfortunately we don't get to try every single one (out of 23 Burgers that were at the Festival, I only had 6) I met with my other Yelp Judges (Perry, Josh & Matt) and we were off. We were only assigned to 3 Burger Stands (we had to rate them in between 1 & 5 to pick the best one. The burger we choose goes up against the burger the other Group chooses to win the award for Best Burger). 1st one was Big Belly BBQ we were to Judge the Sirloin Steak Burger with Mushrooms & Onions (I thought the Burger was perfectly Cooked, couple strips of Juicy Bacon but there were hardly any Mushrooms and way too many Caramelized Onions. I loved that they used Cheez Wiz, Perry, Josh & Matt all thought they should've used sliced Cheddar or Something. It was also very messy to eat. The Mac n Cheese they had was to die for Our next burger was from Soho Project (This stand was all about serving Vegan/Veggie Burgers, the patties were made from either Black Beans, Spinach, Beets or Spicy Mushrooms, No Meat in these Burgers). we chose the Black Bean Patties topped with Lettuce, Mango Salsa, Jalapenos, Guacamole and a homemade Sriracha Ketchup (This was our favorite burger, All the different colors it had made it look very appetizing to eat it was so Vibrant. You get Smokiness from the Black Beans, Sweetness from the Salsa, Crunch from the Lettuce and Spiciness from the Ketchup & the Jalapeno's, Smoothness from the Guacamole and the Multigrain Bun as the thing holding it all together. The patty was so soft it broke apart so easily. Out of the burgers we tried this was our favorite). Although I'm not a Vegetarian, this was amazing Burger. Lastly we tried 2 Burgers from the Grandview Drive-In, Mostly we had to wait 10 minutes for the Burgers. The first was the Shredded Beef Burger (It looked more like a Pulled Pork Sandwich and didn't resemble a Burger one bit. The Meat felt warm, the sauce was overpowering. We didn't like it at all, The Pizza was worse than that. A Burger topped with Canned tomato Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese, like Perry said (take 2 American Classics and turn it into something not so great, it was an Amalgamate Disaster). Burger was Burnt and Overcooked, I also didn't like that Canned Pizza Sauce Flavor. When it was time to try the other Burger that the other Yelp Judges picked for us to try, we weren't that Ecstatic. From the Comfort Zone Café we tried the Chiavetta's Chicken Dinner Burger (It was more like a Chicken Patty, it was dry and that Vinegar Sauce overwhelmed my Mouth). In the end between the 8 Judges we Picked Soho Project for the winning Burger. After the Judging was over I went over and waited in line at Lomo Lomo to try there Penang Burger. It was the best burger that I had there, Angus Beef Patty topped with a Spicy Red Curry Peanut Sauce and a mixture of Toasted Rice & Red Quinoa with a Kimchi Pickle on the Bottom all on a Homemade Sweet Potato Bun (I loved the heat from the Peanut Sauce and I told them they should market those Sweet Potato Buns). I also went back to have another Black Bean Burger from Soho Project along with a side of Fire Roasted Salsa and a cup of Mixed Berry Lemonade to wash it all down. Then I finished it off with Something Sweet, I went over to Nitro Magic (Ice Cream made with Liquid Nitrogen right before your very eyes). First time I've ever seen Liquid Nitrogen up close in Buffalo. Choices were between Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint & Salted Caramel Pretzel (I chose Vanilla) to see a Liquid-y Puddle of Ice Cream going back to its frozen state within seconds was Remarkable. my time here was amazing, If they need me to come back and Judge again. I'll be There !!!

No hassle free parking, well placed vendors mix in with the breweries, the live music was really good too! What I really appreciated was the fact that you could actually move around, get in line see what the offerings were and everything moved so quickly! There were quite a few people but at no time did you ever feel like you were on top of anyone. The selection of participating breweries I thought was pretty standard, what wasn't was the selection each brought to the table. I veered from my norm and sampled some pretty solid brews.

The place was very clean with no litter or overflowing trash The reindeer were calm and didn't mind kids touching them. Thier handler was friendly and cleaned up after them when they made a mess. The train ride was fun, but very short. The decorations were amazing! The Santa was very professional and nice to all the kids. The market was really small with not enough food options so we went to dinner elsewhere. Everything inside where it was heated was geared only to kids which many of us there don't have so we just kept it moving. If you don't have kids this isn't a long experience for $30. I'd be happier at $20 a car because we were in and out of the market and train ride in 15minutes total.

When I was younger this place was a magical experience for a fairly good price. Now at 33 dollars a…read morecarload plus pretty much having to pay extra for food, activities and rides this just isn't worth the money. We waited over forty minutes in line before making it to the payment booths. The traffic directing while in line was just awful and less helpful than having nobody there. Once you reach the lights they are pretty cool but you aren't even excited after a long wait. As for the inside part it's basically a ploy to get you to spend more money on this already expensive experience. The Christmas tree comedy show was fairly cute and the Lightshow was cool although it's been in various places around the Buffalo area before. There are many activities but most cost a pretty penny. Cookie decorating cost 2 dollars a cookie for a small sugar cookie. It's over twenty dollars if you want to meet Santa and skip was seemed to be another 30-40 minute line. Theirs vendors and food. Kettle corn was good but expensive. The rides are also extremely expensive but tend to become a must of your bringing kids. For the price and the wait I just can't recommend this experience.
