I couldn't agree more. The fugedabout it burger was about as memorable as the waitresses name, which I've naturally forgotten by now.

to continue Margaret's statements, they also forgot two of the three toppings on the fugedabout it burger. we called them up to inform them and they offered us free drinks, but we never took them up on it. does johnny macks deliver? we go there when we can, but with a new baby it's hard. my favorite burger on this side of the slope is the burger at Rhythm and Booze. It's served on a English Muffin!

This place is getting raked over the coals on Chowhound. Yes, let's chalk it up to new opening growing pains, but if they don't get their act together soon, it'll be ugly. Here's the Chowhound BBB chat: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/355662?query=brooklyn+burger+bar&user_name= I miss Aaron, even though he stopped giving a shite at Minnow awhile ago.

I ate here a few weeks ago and it was one of the worse dining experiences I have had in a while . . . the food was extremely mediocre, the service was ridiculous, and my chicken sandwich was NOT cooked all the way through. And waitress didn't even bat an eye. I will never go back . . .

ENOUGH ABOUT BROOKLYN AND BURGER JOINTS

Just curious...since when did burger joints become the sole property of Manhattan? That's an odd claim to make. I don't think burger joints are expanding their reaches from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Burger joints have been, and always will be, a part of every neighborhood.

Here's a recent review I found pretty dead on: http://theparkslopegastronome.blogspot.com/2006/12/cant-girl-get-decent-burger-around-here.html Park Slope, or NYC, for that matter, has no room for mediocre restaurants. My 8 year old nephew knows how to make better burgers. And also knows...there are two parts to a bun, top, and bottom. Wow.

We got take-out and our burgers lacked buns, seriously odd. Shame that you say those buns were so good.
