For some reason I thought Broken City had a good hamburger. I've eaten three hamburgers at this bar across the span of 3 years. The first time, my burger resembled more of a meatloaf burger. It was tasty, but not what I want when I crave a hamburger. The second time I went, I ordered their "poutine burger". Cool idea: waffle-cut fries and cheese curds on a burger. The burger is cut in half to make it easier to dip it in the provided ramiken of gravy.
The concept was cool and I was particularly impressed with how they abandoned the "meat loaf" recipe and provided a nice thick solid burger.
Alas, I went to Broken City recently and ordered a basic burger. It was kinda over-cooked and black tasting on the outside, and a little dry on the inside. Check it out. It looks nothing like the burger pictured above:
The meat also looks more processed. This was a very disappointing burger. So I don't know what to say about Broken City's burgers. That poutine burger was excellent, but until this place shows some sort of consistency I can't recommend it. It's still a cool place to drink though.
