\<3. Mighty is by far the shittiest food I have ever had. If I wanted diarrhea in a shell, I’d feed my dog some cat food and follow her around with some tortillas.

Sorry to say sonic is not great either. Went to one in Athens that had a C- from the health department. I refused to eat and everyone else ended up shitting water. They do have good slushies though.

AWESOME.

Granted it was their first day and they are going to try to impress, but I give it a solid 7/10 for a burger and a 10/10 for a “fast food” burger. Hefty/healthy amount of toppings (5 or 6 THICK pickle slices) and a nice thick patty. The top of the bun was smushed and a little soggy, but I think that’s to be expected when it takes 20 minutes to drive the burger back to work. Cheese slice was thick and spread out evenly on the sandwhich and gushing out the sides. Bacon was nice and crunchy.

Now to give you an idea on a scale - I consider Grover’s burgers to be 7-8/10 and a McDonald’s burger to be a 2/10.

The wait as per my food runner was 30 minutes, in and out. That was also ordering for 6-7 people. He was actually shocked at how “not-busy” it was.

Definitely gets my recommendation. I wouldn’t go there for a “sit down” meal if I wasn’t in a hurry or if I was really hungry, I’d drive the extra 10 minutes to get a burger.

I’ll have to check it out when all the hype dies down. When you make this guy wait in line for a cheeseburger for more than 5 minutes, bad things happen.

Any time someone says “I tried 5 guys a few weeks ago”, the immature side of me laughs.
