Burger: Double cheeseburger ($6.75). Two patties on a sesame seed bun with Boogie's signature red sauce, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and onions.
Sides: Regular, spicy or yam fries and onion rings. The milkshakes are great and there are some interesting options like the Fat Elvis (peanut butter, banana and bacon).
Atmosphere: Opened in 1969, Boogie's is a tiny room with a rounded counter that encompasses virtually the entire space. Ms. Pac Man and a few other functioning arcade classics pepper the seating area.
Menu: There are 15 different burger options featuring toppings such as mushrooms, fried eggs, pizza sauce, pepperoni, pineapple and teriyaki sauce. There are also hot dogs, salads, chicken fingers, etc.
For the more adventurous, Doug’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” burger ($15) comes loaded with four patties, four slices of bacon, two cheese slices, a fried egg and a hot dog as well as the regular fixings.
Decision: As soon as I started this quest, Boogie’s name came up over and over again. People raved about its burgers. Going in, the bar had been set pretty high and I’m pleased to report that, for the most part, it did not disappoint.
The house red sauce was absolutely wonderful and one of the best additions to any burger I’ve had. It was sweet and tangy and applied liberally without becoming a complete mess.
The sesame seed bun was also outstanding. It was light and pillowy, perfectly toasted, yet still managed to hold its own against the balance of the oversized, tasty sandwich. My only reservation was with the patty size. I’m glad I ordered the double, as I think a single, ratio-wise, wouldn’t be enough.
In the end, this was a damn fine burger. Boogie’s has enough burger-related options to appease any fan.
Next up: Loungeburger, 270 14th Ave. S.E.
