Today Krista and I ventured down to East Franklin street to see what all the buzz was about with the new burger joint; Boom Boom Burgers. We both ordered Mrs. Boom burgers and a cheerwine. Krista of course ordered her's plain (without the colby, ketchup, and pickles) and I kept mine how it was originally prepared. Much to our mutual disappointment the burgers did not come with fries or any other side. We paid separately $10.50 for one burger and one soda. When we got our burgers we bit into them expecting grass-fed beefy goodness and were both extremely let down by the flimsy, thin burger that lay inside the bun. It was a pathetic excuse for a hamburger one expects from a fast food joint like McDonald's or Burger King. The meat was also cooked completely through and felt a little dry and lacking flavor. I prefer my burgers to have a nice pink center. The restaurant was practically plastered with images of the owner, as if we cared. After we finished our burgers we both still felt hungry, possibly even more so than before. When we left Boom Boom we headed straight for Buzz & Ned's for some delicious sweet potato fries (Inspired by the photos of the owner who was holding sweet potatoes and bragging about their all natural and local ingredients.). Krista and I were left with such a bad taste in our mouths after Boom Boom that it is highly unlikely for either of us to ever return there again. You can get a good and cheaper burger from Cook Out near Regency Mall for under $2. So what if it isn't grass-fed. I'd rather have a tasty burger for less than 1/3 the price than some flimsy thing that hardly takes up any space in my stomach. If you must venture to this burger joint despite my warnings remember your debit or credit cards because they do not take cash.
