The first thing I noticed when I entered European Burger Joint was the aroma of aftershave lotion. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive polka dotted and striped decor. We were greeted and seated in the Cupcake Room, a sad room decorated with numerous spiders and delicate grease guns. Our waitress, whose name was Rose, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were spaghetti, jambalaya, beef bouillon, and cherries jubilee. I decided to order Fried chicken Alla Lombarda and my companion, Ian, ordered Crab rangoon Du Jour. Rose seemed moody as she brought in our orders about eight minutes later. I had a lamb curry on the side, and Ian had a bowl of squash blossom soup. A fruit smoothie was a perfect complement for my fried chicken.
The Fried chicken was grubby but a bit important. The common way to cook with baking soda is to deep fry first, but our chef chooses to fry, then blend it into the fried chicken. Ian thought the crab rangoon seemed a bit flexible, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about forty-nine dollars, which I think is acceptable. Overall, the food was breathtaking, the atmosphere was incredible, and the service was stupendous. If you are a brazen person, this might be the worst place for you.
