I’m a big meat eater, and when after grocery shopping at the new and large Safeway in Kapahulu, we stopped by the brand new Burgers on the Edge restaurant. There were more than a few people there, so we figured why not give it a try. But man oh man, was I disappointed…on so many levels.
Burgers on the Edge is actually a gourmet burger restaurant from the creators of Formaggios (a GREAT restaurant and wine bar at Marketcity Shopping Center under the H1 Freeway), so I expected good things. The restaurant itself was very small, but they did have a decently cool layout with flat panel TV screens on the walls to show you the menu, rotating pictures of what they serve, and a make-your-own burger menu.
I ended up ordering a burger with gruyere cheese, bacon, grilled onions, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes, and garlic aioli in a ciabatta bun. Sounds good right? With that many toppings, you would think there would be a lot of taste. Guess again. It tasted really plain. I do have to agree that the burger was decently large and it was juicy, but I couldn’t really taste much. It kind of threw me off. The ciabatta wasn’t warm either, which wasn’t too pleasant since it was cold. Was it worth the $9? No, not at all.
My girlfriend on the other hand got the stuffed portabella mushroom sandwich. Whatever it was stuffed with, she told me it wasn’t good and that it looked like there was no stuffing to begin with. The worst part of it? She said it was COLD…no, not even luke warm, not room temperature…COLD. Pretty nasty.
We also ordered the regular fries, and wow, how can you mess up fries? They were hot but they weren’t crispy at all. In fact, they were kind of soggy and didn’t have much taste. If you like potatoes without salt, this may be for you, but we both didn’t like it. To give them some credit, it tasted like fresh cut potatoes instead of frozen potatoes. But that’s the only plus I can give the fries.
So the total ended up costing us $25 for the two sandwiches, one order of regular fries, and one drink. Was it worth it? Not even a little. The wait also took about 15 minutes to receive our food. REALLY?! That long for a burger? I could see people outside getting irritated that their food was taking quite a while as well. I can’t blame them.
So save your money and go elsewhere for a burger. You can find better for cheaper…MUCH cheaper.
I’ve been here a couple of times. Agree that the menu is a little daunting but overall the burgers are pretty good. The place is clean and although it’s a little small on the inside seating there is some nice outside seating to enjoy.
It was a little on the pricey side but overall I would return.
