Crown and Anchor




Zach:  We were sort of excited to come back to Crown and Anchor because they were such a surprise last time. Of course with expectation high, could they do it again?  School is back in and it was very crowded.  We were lucky to get there just ahead of a giant group and there was a steady line all the time we were there.  We did get a good seat inside though.  Burgers came out fairly fast even though they were crowded, maybe 10 or 15 minutes wait.  We got the same as last time - double meat, double cheese, bacon.  They were good and some of the great elements from last time were there, but overall there were some problems.  Meat seemed a little overcooked and the bacon was sort of tough and chewy.  This kind of diminishes the other aspects of a burger a bit.  The fries were bad.  We were probably generous giving them a 7, they were overcooked and did not have a good texture at all.  Probably had Brian and Dre not shared the pitcher of beer their scores would have been much lower.  They will probably read this like 2 months from now and be like hey! What are you talking about!  Still a fun place to go for a burger, even though they lost, we'll be back again some time.

Flat Top

Dre:

Zach:  Once again Flat Top crushes your appetite with a tasty burger.  My score was slightly lower than previous trips.  I did get the grass fed burger just to try it.  It is slightly less tasty than the regular but not a big difference.  Their atmosphere is still the same.  Nice since it's less hot outside now.  Same Willy Nelson and Patsy Cline on sound system.  Will be tough for Crown and Anchor to beat them this round with a score of 85.
