Pineapple Express Burger

I have to give this burger a mixed review. The beef patty itself was good; tasty and juicy. The burger as a whole was just... too much. They put too many ingredients in this burger by including two thick pieces of Canadian bacon along with the pineapple, mozzarella cheese, tomato, lettuce, and condiments. The result was overpowering. I don't think the Canadian bacon was necessary and even though I like it on it's own, the whole thing was overkill. I would make the same comment about all the burgers. They are just too crammed with ingredients. Sometimes a good burger is just a burger and doesn't need all the extras.

A+ Tempura Shrimp Wrap

The Tempura Shrimp Wrap was excellent! Fresh ingredients, nice amount of shrimp, and the wasabi mayo was the perfect bit of zip! I would order this again. The fries were really good too. It's amazing how hard it can be to find good fries....
