My friend, while on her 1 hour lunch break, and I decided to try StripBurger. It's close to her office and I figured a burger joint would be somewhere that would be quick and she could be back to work within an hour. I'm not sure if my assumption was correct or not, but StripBurger was anything but speedy.

We each ordered burgers of course and I wanted to try one of heir milkshakes. We also ordered some fries and onion rings. We also told our waitress that we were on a 1 hour lunch break and she said she would speed up the order.

How long do you think is an acceptable time to wait for your milkshake? 5 minutes? 12 minutes? How about 25 minutes? Yes. 25 minutes after ordering she brought the shake to the table.

How long do you think it's proper to wait for a cheeseburger? 15 minutes? 25 minutes? Try 45 minutes. Yes folks we sat there for 45 minutes waiting for the burgers.

My friend had to get her fries and burger in a bag and take them to the office with her. I ate mine at the table.

There might be an excuse for this slow delivery time if the place was packed to capacity, but I'd say only about 20% of the tables had customers. There appeared to me to be plenty of waitstaff. I don't know. Maybe the kitchen was short-staffed.

The burger was also a disappointment. The menu says that they make all their burgers medium unless you order otherwise. When ordering I confirmed that medium was what I wanted. (I get steaks rare, but burgers medium or medium well.)

This burger was well done. It was a solid grey all the way through. Not a hint of pink or red. I wonder if they left the burger on the grill the whole 45 minutes.

The milkshake was one bright spot in this disappointing lunch. I ordered vanilla and you could see the vanilla beans in the shake. The flavor was outstanding. If you like vanilla, this is vanilla to the max.

We might have caught StripBurger on a bad day. I won't say my one visit is definitive. Some friends I know whose food opinions I value really like this place so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and probably try it again sometime.
