Sister Ray's

Solid 4.5 rounding up because we had a good meal. I'd say the original Balboa Burger still wins over Sister Ray's The Standard burger. They are both delicious, don't get me wrong, I think that is a compliment to Sister Ray's because Balboa's sets the "purist burger" experience bar so high. We ordered the Standard Burger, which came with the same pillowy bollilo bun, served the same - stabbed with a giant knife, well-seared meat, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and a light dressing of thousand island-style house sauce. My wife and I both preferred the Flat Top Burger. Melty, caramelized onions, cheese, co-mingling of meat juice, melting cheese and just the right amount of grease. We also ordered a small order of fried pickles. The pickles are thinly sliced rounds and battered in light airy breading with tons of little nooks and crunchy bits. It comes with a chipotle spiked aioli. They had perfect crunch and a refreshing vinegary and sweet bite, kind of cross between a dill and a bread and butter. We got a small order of the chili cheese fries, which is pretty large. Their chili is quite lean, not too salty and very meaty, like meatball chunks of meat.

Liked the hotdogs, Burger was OK. The first time I went: Was over charge for my food; Was given somebody else's bill by accident. They did make it right, but I had to go back to get the refund. Yes the food was good enough to go back a second time. The 1st time I went I thought it was a fluke with the wind and cold. But tonight oh man it was the same thing, it was freezing, bring a jacket. So tonight: I ordered a frau dog, ate it there, then, I added a large garlic frie to go. The hotdog was good the beer was cold. They bagged the fries to go. I grabbed the bag ???? It felt like a small order of fries from some mcjoint. 7.00 garlic frie ( pic) The staff is unexperienced.
