Review-Barringer's Burger
Now for the review: I told the waitress I wanted to hear about their cheeseburger. She started out by saying it's 10 oz of fresh ground beef, not frozen. Good start. So I ordered it with lettuce, tomato [extra charge], bacon [extra charge] with mayo on the side. Next did I want pepper jack, Swiss or American. Pepper jack, of course. I asked for sauteed onions, she said sure. Then she cautioned me that they take about 15 minutes and asked me how I'd like it cooked- medium and juicy of course.. The friendly folks from the group made the time fly. The burger arrived presented as Nicki's photo shows. It was terrific. Juicy, sloppy, tasty-just what I'd want in a burger. The cheese was melted just enough that, along with the onions, The bun was not noticeable, and that's a good thing. The bun should either be benign or really attract your attention in a positive way. [Which has only happened once as I can recall]
If you are really needing a burger fix, Barringer's would make an excellent choice. Definitely a 9+ rating.

Let me add a recommendation for whenever anyone is in the Fort Wayne area. Powers Diner makes the greatest onion burger/slider I've ever had. Check them out:

- My personal favorite is the double jalapeno burger w/everything from Workingman's Friend. I also like Bub's Burgers Big Ugly Elk burger in Carmel.

- I'd like to get some reviews. You know, a bit more detail. What made/makes it so good. I had an extreme burger at Lincoln Square last Friday. Very meaty, lots of fresh veggies, the obligatory [in my book] sauteed onions, cheese, bacon, and a nice taste of charcoal grilling. At $7.59 it was just a bit pricey, but that included some very good clam chowder and fries. I've wanted to try Peppy Grill for a long time and I'm ready to hit WMF again, it's been way too long.

Comment by Mike Magan on December 11, 2008 at 9:51pm - I'm in. I've never been to WMF and would love to. I like the Peppy Grill's burgers on Fountain Square as well as 5 Guys. If we include Metro area, Bub's on the Monon in Carmel is awesome.

- I've never had TDG, but I think a few of the top burgers are Working Man's Friend and Boogie Burger. I'm also partial to the Ram's BBQ Bacon Cheddar.

Comment by Doug Theis on December 11, 2008 at 5:48pm - I'd have to say that Tie Dye Grill is high on my current list for killer burgers in Indy.
