Liverpool Lil’s

Thursday, February 18th, 2010 by Nikki

I’ve had the hamburger here before, and I remembered it being really good. And that’s exactly what it was, really good.

The Liverpool Burger is an 8 oz. Angus beef patty with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo and some type of cheese (I got Gruyere) on a sesame kaiser bun for $12.95, which included some french fries. A little pricey compared to what I’ve eaten so far.

The meat met most of my requirements; cooked medium, liked the taste and the outside was nice and crisp. On the down side, the meat was not quite the mess I want – there were no juices dripping down my hands and arms. The burger should have come with grilled onions, but I didn’t want them. I think they probably would have added a lot to the overall taste. The bun wasn’t top notch, it was toasted but maybe a touch stale.

The fries were good, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. However, when I ate there a couple weeks earlier the fries weren’t crispy enough. So the fry crispy quality is variable.

In conclusion I would say that the Liverpool Burger is good stuff, but still not my go-to burger.

Soccer Cafe

Soccer Cafe Burger There’s great potential for me to be biased on this one. See, the Soccer Cafe is just two blocks away from where I live and work. I go there often and usually love what I get. On top of that, the people there are extremely friendly. You could say that my expectations for the burger was pretty high.

I ordered one of the day’s specials, a Blue Cheese Burger. It came with some macaroni salad, for a total of about $8.50. The burger didn’t look that great when I unwrapped it. I forgot to say no onions, and it had mustard on it (yuck). The top of the bun was a little over toasted, but I usually like my bread products over crispy.

I took my first bite and was not as happy as I hoped I’d be. The bread was a little too crumbly for my taste and the mustard really threw me off. I managed to get a couple bites of the meat by itself. The flavoring was pretty good, but again, didn’t knock me off my feet. In conclusion, I’d say the burger was edible, but I probably won’t order one again.

The macaroni salad however, was fantastic. They put jalapeƱo peppers and pineapple in – a true delight to my taste buds!

Overall: stars-3
