Agreed on all parts except the size of the burger. At $3.75 for a cheese burger, I should have to put the thing down once while eating it. In-N-Out's Double Double hovers around $3, so a burger with size and quality can be achieved for less.
Tallperson, comparisons to In-N-Out in terms of price really aren't fair - I shudder to think of what Camden's paying for rent on that space.
In fact, if I have any doubts about it at this point, it's a sneaking suspicion that he won't be able to make his nut with food that cheap. He'll have to make it up on volume - not sure if outdoor tables are part of the plan, but encouraging take-out would probably be advisable.
Yeah, I'd agree - you can't really compare this to a huge fast food chain, for prices. $3.75 sounds great! This whole thing sounds great - I want to go!
But PAC, I'm not in the food service biz, so the acronym POS meant something else to me, and not Point-Of-Sale. Unless that IS what you meant?
Don't get me wrong, I'm only complaining about the price-to-size ratio. The thing is damn near slider-size, which is too little for $3.75. And I'm only comparing it to INO because that's honestly what the burger compares to, which is a compliment 'round these parts.
Yeah, the INO comparison hit me almost immediately. And Reymont, I did mean Point-of-Sale. What's POS in your industry, just curiously (crossing my fingers for something dirty!)
I totally agree with TallPerson and I'm glad somebody else has pointed this out. $3.75 is too high for a tiny burger, no matter how good it tastes. There are enough other places in the Pearl to get normal-sized burgers in a comfy environment with waitstaff that I don't see the point of paying that much for a micro-burger in a Subway-decor style joint. Just my 2 cents.
I disagree on these being overpriced. I had two on my first visit the other day and $7.50 is not a lot of money for plenty-o-food. A burger of comparable quality would cost $9-12 at most pubs, bistros, etc. I've never been to in-n-out, but can't imagine the ingredients are of this caliber. BTW, I had the blue and to chevre and liked the chevre better. Mine were on the med-well side, but still quite tasty. Loved the fries.
The burgers are 4oz -- that's 1/4 lb for those of you who didn't know what POS meant. Hardly a slider. That's bigger than most drive-in or fast food burgers.
Sure, pereiracycles, you pay $9-$12 elsewhere but it's for a FULL-sized burger WITH fries and it's a sit-down place with waitstaff who come take your order, not just a walk-up counter.
Oh man, haha. @ Reymont... that should have been so obvious! What dunces. I guess since I read it as point of sale also, I just really couldn't understand what other acronym it would be.
Just went there for lunch with my daughter. We both could not eat all 3 bites. It was so salty. We returned my burger to get another. It too was to salty. We spent $11 on 2 burgers, 1 fry, 1 drink. And left hungry. Burgerville beats this place hands down.
In fact, if I have any doubts about it at this point, it's a sneaking suspicion that he won't be able to make his nut with food that cheap. He'll have to make it up on volume - not sure if outdoor tables are part of the plan, but encouraging take-out would probably be advisable.

All-in-all, the place is still great.
Burgers were great. Only complaint was the patties were seriously undercooked. Like RAW. I like rare, this was raw. And kind of gross.
