As a rookie blogger, but obviously not a rookie eater (see picture), I find it odd to put my burger eating experience into more words than "mmm yummy" or "damn what was that?" Luckily, Edgefield Sports Bar gives you the whole experience. Not just a burger, but ambiance. Some may call it smoke, noise, filth and a bad neighborhood, I call it character. Yes, our waitress may have the impression that one in our party is "special". But the same waitress walked by me as I was leaving and said, out loud, "huh, tall guy". So it could be a case of the pot and the kettle.
I didn't have the stones to order the "Our Own Burger". Something about the two types of beef, both ground and corned, married to the same bun just did not appeal. So I had the bacon cheeseburger.
First you should know that the burgers come with chips not fries. Fries are $1.25 extra, and the chips are the small bags of chips that are mostly filled with air. Drinks are $1.25 as well, so be prepared for a ten dollar plus lunch. It's not a good start when you know that you can get a steak somewhere else for the same price you're paying for a burger. It's why I have yet to go to Red Robin for the "everything no one ever thought of putting on a burger because it's a stupid idea" burger.
But the burger was good. It had a large bun, but the burger filled the bun. Not as meaty as a Five Guys burger, and it could have been a little juicier. But it was a good burger and the fries were the good old fashioned crinkle cut crispy fries.
We did have to beg for a drink refill, but it was good food and a unique place to go to when you don't mind a little smoke and a lot of old bar room decor. I'd give the burger itself three out of five stars, but give the place one extra star for atmosphere. And don't be afraid to take the short bus there.
