Bardo’s Grill Gourmet

This place has crappy service honestly. We waited about fifteen minutes for one burger and then when we get it they forgot the fries another 3 minutes. Whatever right people make mistakes and then apologize. Nope none of that here.

I ordered an Original Burger Combo and that came with curly fries and a drink. No I am currently caressing the best burger i have ever eaten. inside of my mouth. it so warming my tongue wants to just cuddle the warm toasty buns. and fondle the sheets of lettuce while the onion feeds me drops of vanilla coke and now I am envoloped in the bacon like a new born burrito baby all the while the secret sauce known as the town jester entertains me with its boyish charm. and the curly fries. oh the curly fries how they sway back and fourth as entrancing belly dancers. My dear mortal friends. I am not suggesting you try this grill, I am commanding you for it would be another Greek tragedy to abstain from such vivacious food.

I got the Guacamole Burger… Oh my gosh. Heaven in the form of perfectly seasoned burger with the perfect touch of bacon and scrumptious guacamole. Every bite made my taste buds sing Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.
I’m not sure why others here have complained about their prices. The prices reflect the quality of food they serve. I have personally asked about the burger making process there, and while they didn’t disclose secret recipes, it was clear that a lot of time goes into preparing the juicy flavorful burgers I have grown to love.
A note on the service: Luke was super friendly today, and Aldo is always a big ball of lovable energy. Aldo is the owner, and he is so friendly to his customers. He makes everyone feel like family.

My 15 year old kid got a grilled cheese burger here Thursday last week (at the new Happy Valley) station and the portion was huge. I got a couple of bites and he could barely finish it. I mention this because I see another review here claiming the burger was slider sized, so perhaps they recently took that to heart?
On quality, the meat was pretty good, but not great. Definitely could do better — they’re not down on 82^nd anymore, so they should keep that in mind.
The fries were well done and tasty, and the (abusive) $ 1.50 for a soda was unfortunately pretty standard. Overall it was pretty darn good, but at $ 13 it was really a bit steep.
PS — Standard practice SHOULD be to cut the massive grilled cheeseburger in half

1 star because the location is awesome. Unfortunately they won’t be around long selling the food they are selling.
2 burgers
1 fry
4 mots sticks for $ 28 all of which was either from a frozen bag or was old. They say it’s farm fresh but nothing was fresh. You can’t just open a cart throw food in a frier and think your going to make it. It’s sad that young entrepreneurs don’t see the mistakes.
Burger carts have to standout and this one just made me want to run away.

Three time myself or someone I was with have been to this gormet burger cart, and three times food was thrown away. I tried the grilled cheese burger, because they were all the rave. What I got was, what I assume to be lightly blow torched outer piece of bread, and a completely unmelted cheese in the middle, grilled cheese bun. The two cheese sandwiches were dry and flavorless, but the burger was even dryer and burnt. Worst burger ever. Yesterday, a friend (before I could stop her) ordered the bacon wrapped mozzarella Stix and bacon wrapped mac bites. Undercooked and overcooked bacon, soggy and unmelted cheese in the stix, and the mac and cheese was burnt to a crisp. This place creates to much waste for one of the cleanest cities in th u.s. for the sake of the planet stay away.

Eh, this place left a lot to be desired. I had a hotdog and curly fries and while the fries were fresh and very tasty, the hot dog was not. The bun was totally collapsed and the edges were hard. I ended up just eating the hotdog itself which was just OK. I wouldn’t try this place again.

after seeing my friends band play at the blue room, my friend and I decided to check out the food carts. I was turned down by the taco cart because they had closed so as I’m scanning other carts I notice an adorable boy in this red food cart selling burgers. I was skeptical since I myself make amazing food and consider myself some what of a burger connoisseur. Aldo indulged me and answered all my questions and convinced me to get a burger. I told him what i did not want on the burger and he proceeded to create exactly what I needed, a perfect bacon cheese burger that he then added some kind of deep fried mac and cheese bites to. it was bliss! and the sweet potato fired were amazing. I was amazed, I did not expect such an amazing burger and I was totally wrong. not only is this guy nice and cute, he makes amazing food. I will most definitely return to this specific cart and tell all of my friends about deep fried mac and cheese on a burger. Thank you so much!

I tried the special combo today, 3 sliders with fries. I opted for the bacon sliders and regular fries. Unfortunately, they ran out of regular fries so I got half and half regular with curly. Service was great, and the sliders were yummy! They were seasoned well and had plenty of bacon. I especially like the buns which were lightly toasted, light, fluffy, soft, and perfectly slide sized.

The main feature here is burgers, but there are a few chicken options and protein-​style (lettuce wrap) choices. The owner is friendly and will give out free samples of his secret BBQ sauce to passers-​by.
The Original Burger starts with a 1/​3-​lb patty, fresh veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion), a bit of garlic mayo, and BBQ sauce.
I ordered the Guacamole Burger ($ 8.50), which is basically the Original Burger with extra bacon and guacamole, but due to a miscommunication, I got the Original Burger instead.
The beef patty was good: delicate, flavorful, and juicy. However, even at $ 7, the Original Burger felt small and a bit too ordinary to justify the price tag.
I made two notes right after I had the burger:
1) The burger may have been better if the bun got toasted.
2) Stand by your cart-​made products. I only had a little garlic mayo and a dab of BBQ sauce on my burger. Could have been a bit more liberal with the condiments.
To be fair, the owner let me sample the guacamole beforehand, and I did enjoy it. Freshly made with the slightest kick.
This burger was good, but unfortunately, I think burger carts generally have a higher standard to live up to. The product needs to stand out from the rest of the crowd a bit more.

I like the place and will go back… But. The special of the day was the bacon burger with fries, so we went with the flow and ordered that.
The good:
You get a really generous portion of bacon and the fries easily pass muster, pretty good overall.
The less than good:
The bun is a standard sesame bun. Meat was OK but a little skimpy for a premium priced burger. You get their kind of wimpy barbecue sauce whether you want it or not.
Suggestions:
Heavy on protein, try adding veggie /​avacado /​cheese variety to the menu, and for the price you need to provide more, both quality and quantity.
I don’t want to come down hard, I like the place, but there’s room for improvement.

Whenever I go somewhere that I’ve never been I like to check out the menu first please. I got bombarded with questions and suggestions before I could even check out the menu, and I was standing in front I it trying to read it. The staff were trying to be friendly and I understand that. And they were. Anyways, it was nice of them to offer for me to try their «secret sauce» which tasted like a simple BBQ sauce, and their most popular burgers are the grilled cheese burger and the teriyaki burger.
I went with the grilled cheese burger. While taking photos (posted) I noticed the beef patties were pretty small. There was so much more bread. Sooo much more. The beef patty was good though. It was cooked with visible herbs and was very oily. Definitely a fat blend of meat and packed with flavor. Almost reminded me of sausage or meatballs. I asked the cook what kind of meat it was and he said it was his own secret blend of meat recipe.
Aside from the meat patty, I’m sad to admit I wasn’t very impressed. I like burgers and want to support burger joints. The melted cheese sandwiches weren’t very good at all, so much bread and not much cheese. One thin slice of white cheese that seemed only half melted.
A big disappointment though is that i just finished this burger and I’m still hungry. Sorry to compare it but for a melted cheese sandwich burger brunch box does it tastier, cheaper and definitely more filling.
Maybe I’ll try the guacamole bacon burger next time but it may be hard for me to want to come back. Give them a shot. Your opinion may be different than mine and their tasty patties might hook you in.
