Ordered a double cheeseburger basket with side bowl of chili and a soda.

Full review to come soon now:

Roscoe’s Burgers is a small locally owned brick building restaurant thats been located in my hood since before I was born. It is literally six blocks away from my house but I’ve only been there once before in my entire life.

So Friday comes along and I call up my old lady “talkin’bout lunch boo.” I roll out of work, scoop her up, and drive to Roscoe’s. We enter and immediately I am happy about my decision to come back here a second time. I forgot about the smell. This little brick building smells like one huge delicious all beef patty with a lingering scent of grilled onions.

This little place couldn’t hold more than 30 people with out breaking some kind of fire code regulation. It was at capacity; I mean it was lunch time. In order to avoid that first-time-ordering awkwardness; we went straight for the counter. Two open spots in the corner seemed cool enough.

The menu was simple enough:

• Cheeseburger baskets w/fries
• Cheeseburger baskets w/onion rings
• Chili and Drinks

I went for the Double cheeseburger basket with fries and small bowl of their chili. First of all, the burgers came as fresh as they possibly could. They cook the meat right in front of you and you can see them serving up your basket. Overall this burger patty was cooked to perfection. The cook takes the meat then pounds this meat with some diced onions. He grills it up quick and serves up a hot burger in less than five minutes. The basket came with some fries that where decent. Nothing spectacular but still good enough.

The burger was delicious. It was delicious in that stereotypical American hamburger sort of way. It was extra greasy and had lots of extras piled high. This whole mix of items worked though; worked well actually. Its like I went to Roscoe’s to get my fix for a big hunk of meat and that is exactly what I got: a lot of meat (pause).

Now this chili was something special. Oh so spicy and oh so meaty. This spicy little stew/soup even had jalapeño slices floating around. There was plenty of meat and the beans where cooked to perfection. Perfect beans being soft but not too soft. Tender would better describe them maybe…I don’t know the best way to describe them other than “good beans.”

Sorry for the shitty pictures. I only had my cellphone with me at the time.
