Your Mom's was great last night.

For the second stop on the burger challenge, the gang hit up Your Mom's Burger Bar for some stuffed goodness in May.

Stuffed burgers "Oh" my!  We were giddy with anticipation of this place and were not disappointed.




Comments so far:


Judge 1: Pretty good, burger was a little bit pricey but have to consider it was 1/2 lb., and adding a side of onion rings (good but eat before cold) wasn't much more.  A little quibble was that the toppings seemed to be cut thick (i.e. tomato slice) which on top of a thick stuffed burger made it that much harder to eat. I did notice under "Bling" for 30 cents more it listed mayo, which doesn't seem right to me (though all burgers did come with some kind of condiment/sauce, so this really was just extra).
Judge 2: The burger was "OK", can't say it is very memorable.  Burger was moist, didn't really like the bun.  The fries were flavorful but would have liked them to be more crispy.   Service was good, liked the environment.  
Judge 3: YUM.  The burger was absolutely delicious.  The fries I got were pretty good, but Yong's fried pickles were excellent.  The service was great, the appearance of the place was okay.​
Judge 4: Nice place, didn't even see the cheese stuffed into my burger like others appeared to have. Slightly dry patty. Limp french fries but good taste. Good bling with the Ranch Jalapeno dressing.
Judge 5: The themes on the menu all looked fantastic. and, the "de niro" burger was a travis bickle or jake la motta caliber rendition. #burger: all ingredients were outstanding, especially the marinara and italian sausage - even the bun was great. #accessories: The fries were flavorful and addicting; the fried pickles the best this reviewer has tasted. #environment: a little dumpy, uninspiring but the service kicked butt. #value: solid.
Judge 6: Loved the crazy toppings and the cheese product stuffed into the burger.  The critical burger/bun/toppings ratio was good.  The Irish Nachos were delicious.  Service was wonderful   Burger was a little dry and I felt slightly nauseous the rest of the afternoon, although it could have just been my arteries hardening.  
Judge 7: This burger was pretty good - the stuffing made it extra tasty and the bacon was thick and flavorful. And I got cheddar ch​eese which was the real deal!  On my second visit I got a sampler plate of appetizers and some were definitely better than others.  The best were probably the regular fries and the worst were the sweet potato fries - the caramel sauce was too sweet for fries - maybe would have worked as dessert.  The onion rings were excellent with a light, crispy batter.  The fried pickles were good but not the best I've had (that distinction goes to Junior's).  I'm glad I made a second trip back to try more things, but I don't think this will become my go-to burger place.
Judge 8: Burger was yummy - dripping cheese blood was a nice touch. Fries were meh. Onion rings were better. However, it was hard for me to get over the general unsanitary feel of the place -- floors were slippy/greasy and tables not clean. They do get two extra points for menu creativity, though. I think I had more fun looking at the menu than actually eating.
Judge 9: This was a solid burger.  The availability to customize with crazy toppings is very much appreciated.  I so want to add a fried egg next time.  My only complaint is that the cheese quality was a little too much like cheese wiz.  A little higher quality on the cheese and this would have been a damn tasty burger.​ 
Judge 10: Yummy! Loved the menu, loved the customization options, and the friendly service followed through on the menu's sense of fun.
Judge 11: Only complaint: No milkshake. 

Average Score: 76.17
