Choosing and agreeing on which restaurant to eat at is always a struggle, but it’s hard to go wrong with a burger.
While scrolling through Instagram’s popular page, I came across a new burger place, Curbside Burgers, which opened in November.
After seeing photo posts of their burgers, fries and shakes, I could see why the food-truck-turned-restaurant was receiving so much buzz. My mouth was watering, and I had to go try it out.
Located at 4158 Government St., Curbside Burgers has incredible curb appeal. If the social media posts were not enough to pull me in, the venue was. The restaurant has a trendy, laid-back aesthetic designed around its food truck roots.
As soon as you drive up, you see the picturesque marquee Curbside sign and an inviting outdoor seating area with space to play games and even a stage where bands can perform.
Upon first looking at the menu, I was impressed with the sheer variety of burgers. They have a burger for whatever you’re craving. Whether it’s plain or extravagant, you will find something to satisfy your stomach.
I ordered the Smokin’ Joe(L) burger with fries, and it did not disappoint. The burger was dressed with sharp cheddar, bacon, fried onion strings and smoke sauce, served on a buttery brioche bun.
The fresh cut fries were a perfect complement to the burger. Curbside also offers tater tots as a combo item if you prefer those. I was able to try one, and they are equally delicious.
Curbside’s full service bar adds to the burger experience. Because I went at 11 a.m. on a Sunday, I didn’t test it out, but I do look forward to soon trying a Boozie Shake, which is Curbside’s alcoholic version of a milkshake.
Overall, Curbside Burgers earned a 5-star rating from me for its variety and quality of burgers along with a fun atmosphere. The service was great, and I’m interested in going back to try another burger or something from their shake and salad menus.
The only downfall is it’s not the cheapest burger. I paid about $15 for a combo meal, which is a little steep for the hungry college student, but you get what you pay for — a great burger and dining experience.
