Saloon

Happy New Year everyone! We're back to eating burgers, although perhaps a little less frequently than we had originally hoped. We're aiming to bring you one or two reviews per month this year. So let's get started:

The Saloon. Located on the Ped Mall on College St, the Saloon touts itself as "Southwestern Fusion". We had gone there earlier last year and had burritos/tacos/quesadillas...that type of fare, but Bryan seemed to remember there being a burger on the menu, so we decided to give it a shot.
One burger option on the menu: Cheeseburger. We both got it...and both asked for medium rare.

The Saloon is located in one of these shops that has turned over hands more times than I can count. It has been tastefully redocerated and includes a number of kitchy items. I love these blue lights over the bar.






We recieved our burgers in short order and chowed them down. Ever so tasty, and tastefully presented:



Slightly grilled green peppers on the top, some type of light orange sauce that in looks reminded me of Big Mac sauce, but in taste was creamier and had a bit of a kick to it.... and waffle fries - there must have been something other than salt and pepper on these babies but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. And how classy is the ketchup on the side? (even if it is in plastic, I suppose ceramic would be a little classier).

Here's Bryan's short review (until he can remember his password so he can post his own reviews....):

"Lunch at the Saloon. Only one burger on the menu, hey, easy selection. 1/2 pounder with cheese, waffle fries on the side. May I say daaaaaaamn that was a good burger! It was cooked to our specifications (med-rare), ample fries and the bun was fresh, probably local.

Again, I swallowed mine in great gulps of pleasure, melted cheese making it a little messy, but oh so tasty."

The Saloon gets two big thumbs up on their burgers (and if you're not in the mood for burgers, their other food is quite delicious as well!).
