When I think of burgers, I envision myself tucking into a thick meat patty, my mouth bursting with flavor and juice. Then I also remember the end of the meal; feeling sick as I look at the grease laden plate with my food baby separating me from the table... But not at HANS IM GLUCK.

The burgers were hearty- the patties were juicy, tender and flavorful without being too oily. As for the bun, the options included sourdough, multigrain andddd nothing. There was a naked burger option where in place of buns, you can opt for a healthy and generous portion of vegetables.
I got the Birkenwald- mushrooms topped with sour cream chive sauce- while my companion got the Hans Im Gluck- Parma ham, Italian hard cheese and rucola. Both were delicious with generous servings of the mushrooms and Parma ham. Each was 17 dollars. The only complaint I might have is that the patties were on the thinner side- I would prefer thicker patties. If you’re the same, you can opt for a double patty at an extra $4.

The sweet potato fries ($10) were also yummy but nothing particularly fascinating. The array of sauces- from vegan mayo to barbecue(I’m guessing) were fun to try.

Overall it was an enjoyable meal with good ambience (it was almost as if one was transported to a German forest- not that I’d know). I’d return for the burgers because I enjoy having a hearty meal without (too-much) guilt.
