Few weeks ago, we decided to try 30 Burgers, a new place that opened few steps from the path. I am always excited to try a burger place, hoping that they will serve an awesome cheeseburger, especially considering the name. The place, that used to be Pico Taco, has been fully repurposed, with less tables. So when you sit, you cannot not miss the photo of Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis from Top Gun, staring at you while you take your first bite…

I started with an Oreo milkshake that was quite good, the milkshake having the right consistency and some chunks of Oreo blocking the flow of the straw that I wish was thicker.

The milkshake was good, but the burgers were not, sadly. Jodi had their black bean burger that was served with provolone, tomato, lettuce and chipotle mayo. It was served with a multi-grain bun that was dry and the patty, although tasty, was mushy. On my side, I opted for their fried mac & cheese burger. I was really excited as The Ainsworth, located few blocks from there, has always been my reference for such burger and I was wondering if this place would have a better one. The beef patty was served with American cheese, topped with fried Mac and cheese. I did not like it: the cheese, that seemed processed, totally coated my mouth and overpowered the patty that seemed well cooked and juicy. The deli bun was also too big and like the other one, dry. I did not even finish half that is really rare for me. As a side, we also got some fries that were just ok, not crunchy unfortunately.

So, overall, this was not a great meal and I was disappointed considering that, considering their name, I expected more…

Enjoy (the post)!
