I am a huge fan of GR, but I have to say the people in charge of Burgr are not keeping up with the place. 1. Long wait for a half full restaurant. (Old way of attracting customers) 2. Long wait for food. Another bad strategy to sell appetizers and drinks. (They are almost pushy when they tell you right up front) 3. Burgers are full of flavor, but not in a good way. Too much of one ingredient overpowers the taste of the main part, which should be the burger.

I've been coming here since the District was built. I used to look forward to eating at Kings. It is doubtful I will eat here again. They have ruined the blue cheese & walnut salad. The guacamole was insipid. The waitress was pushy, randomly recommending items to drive up the meal cost. (Have had good service in the past from Ben.) Very, very disappointed. The previous time I ate at Kings another member of the party was disappointed. Too bad.

I've given it several tries now and honestly, it's just not even close to worth it. The prices are laughable for what you get when you take into consideration the quality. The poutine is fairly dour, compare it to the offering at Park Brugges (a pricier place but the same price for poutine) and you'll see what I mean. The gravy is all salt no flavor, the fries are so so, and the cheese curds never taste particularly fresh. The standard buns and dogs (which you'll get if you don't want to spend seven dollars per hotdog) are nothing to write home about, but they're fine. Last time I went the buns were stale but that was a one time thing from what I could tell. The choices for variety of toppings are plentiful, but most of them just run together. The side of fries is about the size of a medium fry from Wendy's, so don't expect to be able to share it. Oh I'm sorry, frittes. The beer selection is okay but way overpriced, it's lazy to just slap a six dollar price point on all your beer that isn't Straub (still over three dollars, come on man), they should range from 4-7 or so. Haven't bothered with the ten dollar cocktails (sorry, "libations" see: http://www.theonion.com/articles/dude-with-knit-hat-at-party-calls-beer-libations,32433/ ) The service is good though. Last time I went my wife's veggie dogs were ice cold and the server was rather penitent about it, and clearly seemed pissed at the kitchen staff. It was busy and took fifteen minutes to get them redone, I'm not quite sure what kitchen doesn't prioritize re-fires, that's been SOP in every restaurant I've worked in. Ordered poutine and the kitchen just never made it, which was nice of them. But again the servers are really nice and make up for the bad eggs in the kitchen. For the price you are much better off going somewhere else. The portions and quality are just subpar. I've enjoyed the downtown location but the Lawrenceville one just seems like a scam to fleece hipsters of their parents' money when they're too dense to realize they could get more elsewhere.

After discovering this place a little over a month ago, I've quickly become a regular - dining there probably once a week. Atmosphere and food are great. Servers are courteous, helpful and knowledgable. I've enjoyed every meal thus far and look forward to going again.
