Burger Club

The first time in Queens was exactly what we expected it to be: Cargo shorts, backwards Mets hats, more Greeks than my family reunion, and some darn good eating. After seeing some apartments, we were on the hunt for some good eating. Walking down 30th seemed like the best place to spot what may be our next local burger joint. Enter: the Burger Club.

Tony's Burger: slow-cooked pulled pork, pepper jack cheese, and coleslaw

After walking around in the rain following our Magellan-like navigational senses, we were in no mood for some frou-frou, low-fat, half-a-meal plate. We decided on the Burger Club because, hey, if you do only burgers, you probably do them well. Prose has no place in describing the Burger Club, so here's a sweet song I wrote for this:

Our eyes were getting weary
Our backs were getting tight
We're sitting here in... er... the burger club
Enjoying pulled pork on a burger tonight
I don't care 'cuz all we want to do
Is cash our checks and eat some more of you.

Was the burger life changing and the best burger I've ever eaten? No.
Would I eat there probably once a week if I lived near it? Absolutely.

The burger was cooked well, on a great bun, and the hand-cut chili cheese fries really sealed the deal.

Katie's Burger: smoked mozzarella, prosciotto, and basil pesto

Things Tony Liked:

• A full meal. Anytime you walk away from a restaurant hungry, they failed.
• Pulled pork on a burger. I'm now contemplating marketing a 'pulled pork' condiment for the table
• Chili cheese fries on homemade fries. Ur'vry Day!

Things Katie Liked:

• This sounds silly, but I really liked the backwards sign on the front of the building. It piqued my interest and was a bold, cool design choice. 
• My burger. It was delicious! 5 stars! One of the best I've had  ever! It was the Stuffed Burger which meant it was a beef burger with smoked mozzarella, a big crispy piece of proscuitto, basil pesto, lettuce, tomato, and red onions. 
• The reasonable prices. My burger was $10.75 and, after eating in Manhattan a few days, I totally appreciated that it wasn't $20. 
• Cool, cozy interior: bright orange paint, dark wood tables/chairs, and huge windows that open to make the meal al fresco. 
• The milkshakes. We didn't try them, this time, but I felt better knowing they were there (kinda like having a can of shark repellent on your Amity Island vacation). They had standard chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and cookies and cream shakes, but they also had some specials including Froot Loops and Fruity Pebbles. 

All in all, the Burger Club was a solid meal. If you're in the area and are looking for a meal you will be happy with, the Burger Club is it.
