So in our attempts to find the best burger in S. FL, my boyfriend and I went back to ROK:BRGR in Down Town Ft Lauderdale. I guess the first question you would ask, would be why go back if you have already been there? Two reasons….One, the first time we went was when my brother was in town. The food was amazing, the serves was great…but the night didn’t end all too well, for my brother at least, which ultimately turned us off what we had eaten rather quickly. And Two, you can’t just try one burger and make a decision. The menu has a ton of different types of burgers that we both want to try! I already know what I want to try next time we go back!
This time around, I had the Mediterranean burger, which is kinda cheating because it is lamb, not beef, and my boyfriend had the Black N Bleu burger. Usually we would split the burgers…that way we both would get a chance to try more than just one, but I am not a fan of the blue cheese…it just taste like mold to me (BECAUSE IT IS MOLD) and I was eating lamb and he was after beef.
The food overall…no…the burgers overall were good, I didn’t eat the whole thing and ended up taking half of it home with me. The fries were also very good. But we did get this special appetizer thing, Lobster Mac & Cheese which was not good at all. So I wouldn’t recommend that at all.
The experience, this time, sadly was not as good as the first time. They sat us (well me) under a dripping air condition vent. They knew it was dripping, but put us there anyway. We asked to move and said it was because of the dripping vent, and of course they moved us right away and apologized! But while sitting there for our hour long dinner, I watched them they tried to sit 3 other people there and acted shocked each time when the people asked to move. Maybe they should have just not tried to put any one in that seat, or explained to them in advance that it was dripping instead of acting like they didn’t know. Because really, who is going to want to get dripped on while eating $15/20 burgers? Then our waitress must have been new, because she didn’t get our order right and put the wrong burger in for me so I ended up waiting for an extra 15 min after Taylor had gotten his. I didn’t mind, I felt bad for her, being new suxs and messing up suxs even worse. I have been there, I know.
I still don’t think ROK-BRGR compares to Georgies Ailbi. Even though it made my boyfriend a little uncomfortable there, it really is the best burger we have come across in South Florida so far. But the hunt continues…searching high and low for the perfect burger…and a decent if not perfect fish n’ chips J
