On the one hand, there are a lot of burger joints out there, and it takes a bit to rise above the pack. On the other hand, how hard is it to mess up ground beef?
Well, I’ll let you answer that latter one for yourself, because I think it’s clear that there are still places that mess up ground beef.
Crown Burger, though, manages to not mess it up, at least not too badly. The fact that I had to wait in line to order must say something, at least about popular demand.
That said, I have little to say. The toppings were fresher than most and lettuce shredded beats lettuce whole, and the bun sure beats the dry thing Wendy’s they put meat between. By a mile. It’s good enough for a lunch, but probably overpriced (two combos cost me almost $18). The fries are hefty, somewhere between steak fries and burger fries, and are, like the burger, sufficient.
The last point in Crown’s favor is that it is, if nothing else, consistent. Every burger you order is the same.
