I immediately became horribly shocked at myself for being such a horrible son, and began rambling onto my parents how I was going to make my last semester at college really count, how I'd do all my homework the day it was assigned, eat healthy, exercise, go to the library, etc.
[Note: This is where I was interrupted in my Yelp! Review. Damn character limit.]
Well anyway, my parents did not seem to share my enthusiasm. I gather they were quite disappointed that their untrustworthy son was also a "two-beer queer", so to speak.
Time always goes faster for me when I'm drunk, so the wait was nothing. We were taken to a table in the back room and I ordered a bacon bleu burger.
Usually I have a tough time ordering food in restaurants. I am extremely indecisive. It takes me 20 minutes at Burger King to know what I want. But I had been thinking about this meal for five and a half years.
In those five and a half years I had some pretty bad reviews of the place, especially the food. However, my bacon bleu burger was delicious. The pickle it came with was unique. The fries were quite tasty.
12 hours later, I can still taste the bacon bleu burger, one of the best burgers I ever ate. The independent pickle lingers in my mind. I know finally know what the inside looks like.
You know, I can understand why some people may not rate this place highly. But after five and a half years of reading bad reviews, I'd say this place is an underrated gem. Don't listen to me because I'm a Cheers ubernerd, listen to me because even after all the research I did, I was still pleasantly, pleasantly surprised at the quality of this wonderful establishment.
My stay in Massachusetts ends in about seven hours. I move back into my local New Jersey college on Monday. I'm not going back on those words I said at the bar.
And after I graduate in May, maybe again I'll return to the place where everyone will eventually know my name. I could definitely be a regular here.
