I am constantly amazed by just how many first class burger joints we have now in Baton Rouge. Definitely need to toss BurgerIM right up there with Curbside and Atomic Burger. You are going to want to go online and study the menu though, since there are three patty sizes, a half dozen patty types, different buns or wraps, a dozen add-ons, and a whole lot of house favorites. I’m not mathematician enough to calculate the number of possible variations, but if you don’t want to freeze at the counter from indecision, best to make some choices before you get there, or at least before you get in line. I had looked over the menu, and I still had to take a step back and let a group of three guys in landscaping uniforms go ahead of me. So obviously, you have options, and that’s great for trying more than one burger if you go the 3 oz slider route. The larger burgers come with a choice of 1/3 or 1/4 lb patties. You can combo everything up with a drink and fries or onion rings. They even have party packs of eight or sixteen sliders. None of this makes a difference though unless you have a high quality product, and they do. One not so obvious sign of their commitment to do things right is the furniture. I don’t know how much the heavy metal chairs cost them, but I do know it was a one time buy. The tables aren’t going anywhere either.
So I was very excited when my Wagyu beef with cheddar and my lamb with tzatziki were brought to the table. They were gorgeous. They were delicious. The thick chip style fries were excellent as well, but what really moved me, almost to tears, was a perfect chocolate shake served in a real glass. I took my time. I appreciated every single sip and bite. I tried my best not to moan with pleasure at this feast, but I know that several times I closed my eyes too long to qualify as a blink. I left with a full belly and a smile on my face. Pretty sure you will too if you check them out.
