You never hear people talk about it, but it's consistently a damn good burger. Good bread, awesome bacon, the best fucking cheese, and the patty was very good too. Even comes with good fries.

I ordered delivery from there all the time, and they always seemed to get it right and it arrived fast, even during rush hour.

One of the few places I felt I was getting my money's worth for actually paying $1 for "delivery."

They were so competent that they even gave me a customer ID # that I could use instead of going through the tedious process of describing my address each time. They even managed to successfully update it when I moved.

That said, LoneStar often won my order, because for an extra $2, hey, it's almost silly to NOT go for the big half rack of ribs with 2 sides.

Anyways, this talk of food is very upsetting to me right now, as it's Ramadan in the middle of the desert and the closest place I can grab something to eat from right now is at a mini-mart, ironically also owned by Indians or Pakistanis. I thought that was just a US thing, but apparently they got the whole planet on lock down with mini-marts.
Totally agree about java. First went there with a friend who said the burger was great. Ordered a burger with cheese and mushroom. Fantastic. Went back about 9 months later, but the menu was different. I said, " damn I really wanted the burger with cheese and mushrooms..." The guy said, " no problem- we'll still do you anything from the old menu!"

It's about time I paid another visit.

Anyone tried 'My Burger Lab'? What's the deal with the black buns?

I've been. The chicken burgers are good, but I found the beef very disappointing. Chicken nuggets were also quite good and fries are ok. Kind of pricey, but you get a huge patty (especially with the chicken burgers) and some "high-end" condiments. The sauces are pretty good, which I think is important.

Yeah, I've even loved the soups there, I think it was pumpkin. I usually hate soup, but theirs is damn good.

Oh, my bad. I'll have breakfast at one, and lunch at the other.

After all that time in Saudi my guess is you would smash anything.
