Burgerquest! Bobby’s Burger Palace - Philadelphia PA

Dallas Burger

Spice Crusted/Coleslaw/Monterrey Jack/BBQ Sauce/Pickles

Cooking Style/Temp: griddled/medium rare

Additions/Subtractions:  none

Burger: 

I was completely and happliy surprised at how perfectly medium rare the burger was. The meat tasted fresh and had the light texture that you get from freshly ground and properly handled beef. The seasoning was a bit overpowering to the rest of the toppings, but for whatever reason, it went outward into the toppings, letting the beef stand on it’s own.

Bun: 

Toasted sesame seed bun, soft overall, and while I could tell it was toasted, I might argue it wasn’t toasted enough. It made it 95% of the way, before falling apart.

Toppings

The coleslaw added a good crunchy texture but didn’t have any flavor at all, the other stuff, while fresh also blended into the background, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, because the meat was so good. The pickles were awesome.

Accoutrements: 

I ordered onion rings. The super thick type they serve is the total opposite of how I like my onion rings, so I’ll withold scathing judgement, they tasted pretty good though. If I go again, I’ll def try out the sweet potato fries with honey mustard horseradish sauce. They also have milkshakes, grilled cheeses and beer. The burger comes with a crisp spicy half pickle, that was also really good. You also have an array of condiments to choose from: Ketchup, Chipotle Ketchup, Yellow Mustard, “Burger Sauce” (which is kind of like A-1) and Jalapeño Hot Sauce. They pretty much checked off all the boxes of “burger joint”, and thats a good thing.

Atmosphere

One word: slick. This place is definitely the work of a well-oiled machine. The interior has all the charm of a burger place at Disneyworld. It’s like a burger counter transported itself from the 70’s, with the avocado and orange color motif and mid-century swivel chairs. The service was awesome, friendly and efficient.

Overall

A decidedly positive experience, when I thought it might be kind of a let-down. Even the prices were ok. The best part was definitely the perfectly cooked burger. Everything tasted good, the service was good, there’s really no complaints. The only thing I might watch out for are some dickheads from the Wharton School of Business, since it’s right across the street.

Wow Its been a while since I’ve done one of these. I’ve decided to do away with the scoring, but I still like the categories, they help break down what makes a spot awesome to grab a burger. Also, some photos going forward may or may not belong to me. Sometimes taking a photo isn’t appropriate or the lighting doesn’t make for a decent shot. So, yay, back in action.

The Ronie Burger

Cooking Style/Temp: griddled/medium rare

Additions/Subtractions:  none

Burger: 

Looked like a 6oz patty, cooked to a good medium rare, had bits of jalapeño mixed into the meat. It really had a kick. Really unique and tasty. 

Bun: 

Toasted Kaiser roll had a good crusty exterior and soft interior, while still holding up for the duration.

Toppings

The side vegetables were kind of an afterthought, but the pepper jack cheese was outstanding and added to the spicy kick of the burger. 

Accoutrements: 

The burger comes with a side of roasted red potatoes, which would be great with a nicer entree but were a little too fancified for a burger of this ilk. Onion rings would be amazing.

Atmosphere

The bar/restaurant is one of those cool spaces where 3 streets intersect and the space kind of juts out like a peninsula (is there an architectural term for this?) with giant windows that open up all the way on nicer evenings like the one when I went. It feels very cozy and would make for a good spot to people watch. It’s basically on MIT’s campus so naturally going with the science theme the menu takes the form of the periodic table. Nerds. The only downside was the service was a little inattentive (they completely forgot that we ordered guacamole) and while one server was busting it to get things for lots of tables the other was just kind of shitty to everyone.

Overall

Miracle of Science’s Ronie burger is a solid burger and definitely something worth trying but I would probably put it in the middle of the pack as far as “must-try” spots in Boston. Save this for when you want some pre-drinking eats or are looking for a decent spin on a good burger.
