Burgers at Waterfront Ale House

We remember the brioche buns; they were moderately delicious. We remember the waffle friends too. They waffled between soggy and tasteless. But, the burgers...

Our memory is hazy, but we think our medium to rare burger might have been dry. (A four letter word to any red meat lover, and a darn waste of good meat.)

The mini-corndog appetizers ended up being stealing the show, but moderately delicious brioche buns and weeny weiners just aren't enough to redeem mediocre burgers. Not even at the Waterfront Ale House. (Unless it came with free scotch and beer, which it didn't.)
