Carmen's Burger Bar

User Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

f you want a burger, you could do worse...you could do better...but you could do worse.

Walking in and meeting my friend, the first thing I noticed was the noise level...uhhh...high. But regardless of other reviews, the service was prompt. Our waitress took our drink order and that came quickly. We ordered our food; me a twin combo of burgers with onion rings instead of fries, my dining companion a Caesar's Salad. My burgers were good, although I ordered them medium rare and they came out more medium well, they were still good. The onion rings were obviously made fresh, the coating was crisp and tender and I was actually able to bite into the onion without it all coming out in my mouth; and they were different sizes...fresh, for sure...my friend's salad was soooooo covered in dressing, that half way through, she couldn't eat anymore and asked me to remind her to ask for her salads either lightly dressed or dressing on the side. I told her to send it back; she wouldn't because she had already eaten so much. The I suggested she send it back and ask that they just "rinse" the dressing off. That she was willing to do...needless to say, they brought her a new salad, sadly, with the same amount of dressing on it. WTF...do they even understand???

For desert we had the warm chocolate cake; which they served with a nice scoop of ice cream, although that is not mentioned on the menu, it was a nice touch. The coffee sucked.

LindySez- not a bad experience. Not a good experience. The sad part is, this place has a full bar they don't utilize and or know what to do with. The wine list is piss poor and over priced. There are better places to go; and while today's service was good, it's not necessarily the norm. Get it while it's good!

This place, where do I start. By not going there ever again! I have been to Carmen's 4 times in the past year, not by choice, but because friends pick it. Was just there this afternoon for almost 2 hours for lunch. The service is HORRIBLE, the wait staff is inatentive and the food is so-so. I swore to myself very loudly today while sitting at the table waiting for 30 minutes for a refill on my water, that I will NEVER go back there.

After waiting for what seemed an eternity, I finally received my food. The burger was turd-shaped, and over cooked to a point of disgusting. The fries were limp and greasy. I'll not go back...
