I had read someplace that Burger Republic is / has been a top-rated burger joint. My wife and I decided to make a sizable detour from our usual route home, especially to try the burger at the Lenox village location.
Because of the obvious now,...we were very happy that they were open and were offering “curbside service”. It’s been my experience when using similar takeout services, that restaurants have been eager to go above and beyond, to make their take-out the absolute VERY BEST it could be. Not today, not at this Burger Republic Lenox Village location.
We both ordered the “Black and Bleu burger”. The meat was great! The brioche bun was fine. But:
* Blackened it was not
* Cajun spice was undetectable
* Bleu cheesy it was not
* Nashville Hot Tots — yes they were tots. But hugely disappointing. How can you be disappointed in tots!!? Well they were.
* One of the burgers hardly had any “fixings” on it, compared to the other one we had
* Being as this was our first time at any Burger Republic, in any circumstance, we assumed “curbside service” meant they would bring the food to your car. No. The runner plopped the containers on a table there in front of the restaurant door and went back inside. No thank you. No hope to see you again. Nothing.
* We went to eat at a local park. No napkins. No utensils for the tots.
To be an upscale burger joint these guys REALLY need to up their game. Even Burger King puts napkins in your bag. Even Arby’s brings the food to your car. C’mon man!!
I’ll spend my $26 someplace else.More
