REVIEWS:
Paul’s Place is a true dude’s burger eatery, with no fuss no frills the hamburgers speak for themselves. All the 8oz beef patty served with the usual suspects of lettuces tomatoes and onions, with side of all you can eat pickles nothing beats it. I went all ballsy with bacon and cheese burger (around $6) and Kenneth the traditionalist went with the plain with cheese (around $8 for deluxe version comes with Lettuce, tomatoes and fries, bacon add 80 cents), both patties cooked to medium rare came out piping hot and oh so juicy. They cooked the patties on griddle, not grilled or broiled. When I took my first bite the tender loving patty was falling apart, with meaty juice oozing out, messy burgers ordered the way a burger should be eaten. Their fries are crisped to perfection and are also meaty that make a meal a ten. If I did have to say one bad thing about Paul’s, it would be their Wonder bread buns did not match the massive and greasy patty, right away I was disappointed by the sogginess and the flattening of the bread. If only someone can bake a magical bun to meat the demands of the meat cake I would be a happy dudette.
