Cheeburger, Please Burger!

A couple weeks ago, my hubby had gone out to lunch with some co-workers to a restaurant named, "Cheeburger, Cheeburger". From his description of the malt shop feel to the fact that they served real vanilla cola, I knew that I wanted to eat there AND SOON! We decided to head there on a Saturday night for an early dinner.

The restaurant was packed! We were seated in the very back. There wasn't enough room to pull our chairs out. As annoying as the crowded seating situation was, I also figured that there must be something to their food for all these people to be here so early on a Saturday afternoon.

Before even stepping through the front doors, I knew what I would be eating. My thanks to Cheeburger, Cheeburger for having nutritional information available online. They even have a nutritional calculator on their website so you can build your own meal, customize it how ever you may want and then have all the caloric info you need right there in front of you. It made ordering and sticking to my diet easy.

This restaurant is pretty neat. First, you order your drink. They have Cherry, Vanilla and Chocolate Colas. Mmmmm. They also have Flavored Teas and Lemonades, Shake-a-Sodas, Ice cream Sodas, Rootbeer Floats, Egg Creams, the usual suspects (like hot tea, coffee, milk, juice and boring regular ol' sodas) PLUS a massive lists of milk shakes. There are so many flavors. And you can combine as many flavors as you want to make your own creation. In fact, their menu boasts that there are over 350,000 flavor combinations! My hubby and my daughter shared a Strawberry and Cream Milkshake.




I had a Diet Vanilla Cola for 3 POINTS. It was delicious and well worth the point sacrifice!


Next, you order your sandwich. You start with burger size. They range from THE CLASSIC up to OUR FAMOUS POUNDER (which if you complete, earns your picture a spot on their wall of fame). If you'd rather something else, there are plenty of other things to choose from like chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese, wraps, platters and salads.

The next step is to order your cheese. Whether you are a traditional cheeser or the more daring cheese enthusiast, they have a cheese for you. After you pick your cheese (or opt to have NO cheese), you then pick your toppings. The list they have for free toppings is outrageous. You can have anything from peanut butter to artichoke hearts added to your burger. If you want bacon though, it'll cost you a little extra. There is almost no limit to the number of toppings you can add to your cheeseburger creation.

You can order fries or onion rings to go with your sandwich. According to their nutritional info, the onion rings were significantly less fattening then the fries. They have four different kinds of dips that you can order with your fries or rings. Since I am dieting, I opted for none. My daughter and hubby stuck to traditional ketchup.



I ordered a Veggie Burger without the bun, which they happily accommodated. On top of my burger, I had American Cheese, Salsa and a side of pickles. It was huge AND DELICIOUS! I savored every last bite of it.

Those onion rings made me feel like I was cheating. I hate biting into an onion ring and having the rubbery onion refuse to snap. You end up with the onion in your mouth and the breading in your hand. Not with these onion rings! They were light and crispy. The breading kind of tasted like funnel cake to me.

The Veggie Burger sans bun with salsa, cheese and pickles clocked in at 7 POINTS.
The Cakey, Crunchy Onion Rings cost me 3 POINTS for a small serving, which was plenty!

I left full. Satisfied. Still on my Diet.

They cook all the food to order. It takes a little longer to receive your food, but it is worth it to know you are getting fresh food!
