Overall rating: 7.5/10
Review: This is not your standard fast-food burger. Unlike Arby's Waygu burger, you can actually taste the different meats here.
Flavor: The beef helps cut some of the gamey taste, but it still has that unique strong flavor. The meat is lightly seasoned. but could have used more seasoning. The cheese and onions add much-needed flavor. And the The dark cherry steak sauce added a great tangy and smokey flavor as well as some much-needed salt.
Texture: The onions stayed crispy, adding a good textural contrast. However, the elk and venison are also leaner than beef, so it is a little drier than a typical juicy beef patty.
I also liked that they used brioche for this, as it was soft and moist without being soggy.
Perfect For: Adventurous easter and those who love venison
Avoid If: You're looking for something that tastes like a regular beef burger.
