The pb addded a rich earthiness that compliments the sweet crispy Smokey bacon. Pb may not be the intuitive condiment to the burger but let us not forget the many fishes that demand peanut sauce. It was delightful and unexpected.

Like an old friend with a lot of style, always great to have this burger (that analogy, as well as the word ‘analogy’, are not meant to be a sexual innuendo) . This burger is a sumptuous mouthful of salty meat fat, balanced with cornichon and watercress, hugged by a brioche bun, that you can dunk in meat juice. What’s not to love.

Not the typical approach to a burger- it teeters the line between gyro and burger. That said, it is an extremely flavorful patty, with a delightful char to pork and beef blended meat. The whipped butter and roasted red pepper dips are also a delicious accompaniment. Definitely worth a try.

This is about the salt, fat juice and crunch. Everything Cozy Royale is extremely intentional, everything you order here is better than it needs to be. The burger is no different. But if you're looking for juicy meat texture, it's not this one. Although I it is exceptional in flavor, it's a matter of mood and taste. Martinis and fries are spot in.

The ratings are high, not to discount my favorites, but if you are craving a good burger that does not sacrifice on quality, this bit of nostalgia with its American gooey cheese, Russian dressing and snappy pickle is extremely fulfilling. Cozy slaps.

Inconsistent in flavor of bites, but tasty overall. American cheese forward, moments of char and spice, i just wish they could come together in a mouthful. Tater totes were great, music was ready for a red velvet rope and a bouncer at 4:45, but i suppose you give the kids what they crave. Good but would not seek it out.
