My thoughts:
I came here with my former co-workers for our monthly Triple-D jaunt (inside joke). One co-worker, who doesn't live far from here, suggested this place. I'll admit that I do not care much for burgers and almost wanted to take the liberty to suggest a last-minute change to Greek food (we were, after all, in the heart of Greektown). 

I'm really glad I didn't. Because that night, I discovered just what might be the absolute best sweet potato fries that my taste buds have ever tasted. Yes. If you have read my previous posts, you will know that I am a sweet potato fan devotee. It is often the topic of conversation between my fellow sweet potato fan-loving friends and I. In fact, last week, my friend and I coined the term SPF (the acronym for its eponymous name) to facilitate our discussions on this matter.

Anyway, let me start off by saying what I ordered. I had two specialty sliders for $5.99. You can choose from Swiss mushroom melt, sweet onion D, Greek burger, better-than-the-other-guy and blue cheeseburger. I had the Swiss mushroom and Greek burger. The burgers were nothing extraordinary. I was surprised to find that I liked the Swiss mushroom a lot more than the Greek burger because Greek food is one of my favourites. What did it was the bbq sauce. I really recommend it. I paid an extra $3.99 to make it a combo, which includes a side and a drink, and an additional $1.00 to upgrade my side to SPF. (Altogether, I paid $10.99 + tax and tip for my meal.)

Finally, returning to the SPF - what made it so special was that they were thick cut, very crispy and stayed that way when it was cold, and not greasy, giving it a healthy-tasting feel! Strange, right? I didn't think that would ever live to the day to experience fries that were healthy. Okay, healthy they may not be, but they sure could have fooled me! 

This may be a burger joint, and by all accounts, their burgers ain't shabby, but you gotta come here for their SPF! All the staff, especially this young, "edgy"-looking girl, were very friendly and just plain awesome.
