Boogie Burger

Went to Boogie Burger in Broadripple last night for New Restaurant Saturday. Attending were Amber, Damien, and I, plus NRS Guests Jen and Jeff.

Boogie Burger is a tiny place--seating is available for maybe 15-20 diners who would need to like each other a lot in order to squeeze in. But the Monkey's Tale next door allows BB customers to use its patio, thankfully, and our group settled at an outdoor table with ample space on what was a beautifully cool summer night.

But most important, of course, is the food. Ber, Jen, and Jeff all got the "New York, New York" burger, BB's version of the old mushroom & swiss standard. All were impressed by the generous toppings and seemed to really enjoy their sandwiches. Damien got the "Blue Moon" burger, which was piled high with blue cheese. While he seemed to think it might be almost too much of a good thing, I for one was impressed by how generous they were with the cheese--most places sprinkle a few crumbles of blue cheese on a burger and call it a day.

I was in the mood to be adventurous, so I tried the Citrus-Grilled Ahi Tuna sandwich, which was topped with a spicy mayo. It was DE-licious. Really, really tasty, with a slight citrusy note, but not an overpowering one. Along side my sandwich I had the garlic fries. BB tosses their standard fries with freshly chopped garlic and parsley. The aroma from the bag was heavenly...but the fries, only slightly above average. For one, they needed salt (salt makes the fry for me); for another, the amazing smell of garlic and parsley doesn't actually transfer to the fries much because the garlic and parsley don't actually stick to the fries. Rather, it all fell to the bottom, no matter how many times I gave the bag a shake to redistribute. Sad.

Overall, we were pleased with our meals. I would definitely get the tuna sandwich again, and would like to try a burger there. At the end, we girls topped the meal off with ice cream, which BB also serves. Can't beat that.
