09.01.2018 Burger at the Bay

What a wonderful surprise, on the shore of Bass Bay there is an old school restaurant. In a previous incarnation the building was the Aud Mar Supper Club. The current owners kept all the personality of a supper club and brought a fresh look and some great food choices.
Well, that's all good but, how about a burger? Any place that serves prime rib, steaks usually does a decent burger.
My choice, the Cheeseburger Deluxe ($10). I'm not sure why it is called "Deluxe". Cheese, mayo, mustard, pickles, tomato, ketchup, red onion and shredded lettuce. Nothing fancy but, I guess deluxe.
It arrived surrounded by fries and a side of ketchup. Did they know I love dipping my fries in ketchup? Maybe that's just how folks around town go about it. It's a third pound of beef on a wonderful, fresh roll (bun?). The outside of the roll has sheen to it. Under, it was toasted on a butter covered flat top griddle, as far as I could tell.
First bite. Classic! The flavors all mixed together. Just enough of each topping. Nothing overpowering the other. Don't consider it a cut when I say it tasted like a George Webb burger on steroids. Maybe it was the cheese or the buttered and toasted roll? No matter, it was really tasty.
The only thing that could have been better, sitting lake side on the patio. It was raining so, that wasn't going to happen.

The rating: 4.5 of 5
Excellent flavor, fresh toppings. Priced right. Crispy thin fries.
