Restaurant review: After a few hours playing at the beach, a calamari sandwich and green salad hits the spot for lunch. Kids #menu offers some great options like popcorn shrimp or burger with crisscut fries, juice box and applesauce. The other adults enjoyed oyster poorboy and grilled swordfish sandwich. Really tasty entrees in sunny outdoor #venue. I’m missing the beach and ready to go back again!
Road trip food = greasy joints along the way.
On our way between Grand Tetons and Uinta Mountains, we were hungry for something else than what was packed. So, we opted to stop at Gator’s in Randolph Utah. Perhaps not the best choice.
Klint had the Gator Burger:
1/4 lb patty
Swiss and cheddar cheese
Diced white onion
Shredded lettuce
Thick slice of ham
Overall a tasty burger.
Jen had the Chicken Finger Basket:
Lightly breaded chicken breasts were actually really good. The extra black pepper in the breading was really good and added some good flavor.
But, the fries were DISGUSTING. Limp, mushy, oil tasted old. Not sure why I ate them other than I was hungry.
We definitely agreed that next time, we’ll continue to Evanston, WY and get something more reasonable there instead of stopping in Randolph, population 500.
Ingredients for one of the best burgers, ever:
Fries were so-so. But, what a tasty burger! The Verde Burger at Red Mill Burger is a must eat if you find yourself in Ballard, north of Seattle. Plus if Oprah says it’s one the 20 burgers to eat before you die, then you know it’s good!
Do differently? Keep the red onion, which is standard issue. We usually request to have onion removed because of the overpowering taste, but seems like this Verde Burger would be even better with the onion.
Another point: Even though they’re screaming busy ALL the time, service is great. Small place has enough tables because they’re turning fast. Tables outside for sunny days.
