Short Orders (Burger Joint)

Hamburger Haus

Many people miss the presence of Bella’s Fat Cat at its original location at 1233 E. Brady St. But it didn’t take long for its replacement to open. It is called the Burger Joint and has the same owner as the Dogg Haus, a short distance to the east. The Joint is as devoted to the hamburger as the Haus is to the frankfurter. The decor hasn’t changed much, and you still order at the same counter. The burger options are unlimited, with a few items sporting clever names, such as the “Arsonist.” This burger is topped with pepper jack cheese and a blend of 12 hot sauces. Alternately, you can get creative with the B.Y.O. burger. You begin with a basic burger of beef, turkey, chicken, veggie, fish or even grilled cheese, and then choose from dozens of other adornments to create the custom burger of your dreams. The Burger Joint is Brady Street at its most affordable.

The Burger Joint is as dedicated to the burger as the Dogg Haus is to the hotdog. The great thing about this place is the fact that you are able to customize any patty (Turkey, veggue, chicken fillet, beef) with countless toppings. Been there about 7 times. Consistent and delicious. Oh...I also love the fact they use Turano bread, delivered fresh every morning from Chicago)

You can only polish a turd so much. Lots of options, but the patty and bun suck.

ATTENTION READERS! Mr. 3/31 is a worthless coward. If he were a legitimate person, he would come forward and express genuine critique, however, he finds the need to put others down to boost up his otherwise failure of a life. Keep it up! Good job! How can I speak up for The Burger Joint? Because I worked there, and I can admit that. The owner is a genuine, nice, hardworking person, and this is not the first time internet cowards have appeared. The bread is fresh daily from Chicago. The meat is delivered every morning at 10:30am. Anyone is free to observe this activity. And The place is a HELL OF ALOT CLEANER than Bella's. I transitioned from there when the place was sold. Enough with the negativity....go in there, give it a try, and be a judge on your own.

Bella's was much better. I found a hair in my malt & the bathroom was gross. Not good.

Who ever is posting stuff on 3/31, (3 talkbacks all stating different things) is really making an ass out of themselves. At least post your name or a legitimate claim....or perhaps change the date....that would make your absurd accusations more believeable. Get a LIFE!

In response to the ATTENTION READERS post of 04/13/2009: That's great that the owner is a nice guy and the meat is delivered everyday.But I live in the neighborhood, been there twice now. And it's awful. So... ATTENTION READERS: If you like a burger that tastes like what they serve in a public school, this is the place. If you value something with a little flavor, go elsewhere.
