Local Eateries

This past weekend, my family and I went to Asheville to watch Cars 3. While we waited for the show time, we stopped at a local burger join called BT's burgerjoint. I've been wanting to taste their food since they opened just a few years ago at the Biltmore Park! 

When we walked in, it reminded me of a fuddruckers, but with out the toppings bar. With fun artwork on the walls, I got a sense of family at the same time I expected funky times ahead. 

We were greeted by the menu which offers pre-designed burgers, chicken sandwiches, Nathan's hot dogs and salads, as well as make-your-way options. They even had a separate kids meal which isn't always easy to find especially when you're trying non-chain restaurants. 

As we approached the counter with our orders, the kids took a window seat that overlooked the street facing the movie theatre. The place was clean and not very loud, but had some well familiar music playing while scattered televisions were showing sports games all around. 

Making the order was quick and painless. There were a couple of cashiers that were ready to help and were pleasant in doing so. We received our cups and a number card after we paid and got our drinks at the fountain. 

We chose to sit indoors, but BT's also has a patio option directly beside the street. Soon after we sat down to wait, our made-to-order meals were brought to our table. 

The kids ordered mac n' cheese with fries while the hubby and I ordered burgers only. I specifically asked for the All American which was a 1/3 lb burger with Thousand Island dressing, pickles, tomatoes, onions, cheese and lettuce.

First off, the fries were great! They had a battered texture to them and the flavor was not heavy. Of course it helps when everything was hot!! The kids loved their food and so did my husband. They all thought the it was wonderful.

My opinion, however, was that my burger was hot and thick, but I think the sandwich itself was a little too wet. The tomatoes were steak sized, which is too thick for my taste, and the the bun was saturated from the pickles, lettuce and dressing. Don't get me wrong! The burger was good, but it kind of fell apart. I didn't get the flavor pop from the meat that I was looking for, and it wasn't as juicy as I like, but I will definitely go back to try another sandwich since this was my first time and since the family loved their food. 

Let me know what you think if you get a chance to visit!!
