Big Burger Spot Review
At the random suggestion of two different people, Big Burger Spot caught my appetite. I'm not a burger fanatic, but when I crave one some golden arches, or crown, or other drive-thru window doesn't always hit the spot (no pun intended). And it was about that time when I heard of the restaurant that Steve Harvey had recently visited to enjoy his namesake menu item: The Steve Harvey Burger.
A statement from one of the random suggest-ors made this an ideal place to take my husband. The statement was a comparison to Five Guys, which my husband LOVES. The suggest-or said he used to "hit up five guys all the time" but now he "won't even go there anymore" because he likes Big Burger Spot so much better. Well, who better to review with me than Dear Hubby then? Nadie (español for nobody).
So, off we went on a lovely day trip of running errands together. Such hot dates we set! Big Burger Spot has two locations in Greensboro, NC. One Spot is on Nicholas Road. The other Spot is on Battleground Avenue.We visited the Battleground store, which is set up beside a gas station. Nothing special, just convenient. Its a small, brightly decorated little.....spot.
The menu consists of burgers, hot dogs, chicken, sandwiches, salads, and even some vegetarian selections. They make their own "house made" hummus. There is a Mediterranean flare to some items. You can even get bison burgers. Size matters at Big Burger Spot. You can get Almost, Big, or Colossal. Almost was enough for me. One's fries can be dusted with a tasty Cajun season. And there is a myriad of ways to get burgers, dogs, and fries. An interesting twist on fries is the drizzling of white truffle oil on the White Truffle Fries, which can be upgraded with Parmesan cheese. Not to mention, burgers can be cooked medium if that's your predilection.
So what did I get? The Black and Blue Burger, of course. I can't resist bleu cheese on burgers. The crumbles of bleu cheese are melted into a creamy patty to lay on top of your burger "slice style." The bacon is fried to perfection: crunchy + thin = flaky. Here let me sum it up in a poem

Creamy, tangy, to enjoy I must halt
Crunchy, thin, flaky, and ohhh hint of salt
Burger grilled...the flames I taste
Soft, buttery, flaky bun--- I dare not waste
Needless to say, I enjoyed my selection. It was filling and tasty. My husband got full off of his Almost Classic. We shared an Almost Fry, which he didn't think would be enough. The only complaint I have is lack of Pepsi....so if I were handing out points there would be a subtraction. It was "put to the taste" by both me and my husband. Verdict: I say go for it and try something outside of your box; my husband says it was great, but he would like for me to try Five Guys before the "best" is given to either. I say its an excuse to go to Five Guys.
