109 Burger Joint

Stopped in here after an exhausting and infuriating day at the nearby IKEA. Glad we did. Although the service moved in starts and fits (“fortunately,” IKEA over-prepared us for that reality) the place was clean and parking wasn’t too bad. The food, however, made up for just about everything. I had a medium rare burger and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate the temperature was. It seems like every other ‘gourmet’ burger shop around can’t seem to take a burger off a grill until it is thoroughly grey and gasping its last moo for mercy. Not here. My compliments to the chef on that sole aspect alone. That being said, the burger was damn tasty, sauces were excellent, and the fries were, well, they were fries. We also enjoyed a Nicaraguan cheese appetizer that was salty and delicious. My wife enjoyed a large salad with a tasty veggie burger, so there’s options here for vegetarians and those with gluten issues. If you’re in greater Miami, I would recommend this burger joint. IKEA, not so much.
