Boston Burger Company is now open

[ron_newman]

Boston Burger Company is now open in the space formerly occupied by Antonia's, next to JP Licks. Contrary to earlier rumors, they did not expand into the former Breathe Spa space next door; that is still vacant.

Their web site appears to be BostonBurgerCo.com. They have menus posted outside, but the menus do not list the URL. That may be just as well, since the menu on the web site is far too small to read easily (at least, for someone my age). I would e-mail them, except that the Contact Us page contains only directions, and no actual contact info.

EDIT 5:15 pm: Here's a link to a fully readable image of the menu. There's also now an e-mail address on the Contact Us page.

EDIT 4/7, 8 pm: Here's a link to a fully readable image of the menu. Dear Boston Burger Company: please don't move it again.

If you view the menu image on its own, it gets up to "barely legible". ;-)

(In Firefox, right-click on the image and select "View Image".)

The directions page does have a phone number, but I suppose talking to whoever happens to be behind the counter is unlikely to be useful.

If you find an email address, you might also want to point out that they're offering directions by public transit to "Boston Curger Co".

The menu IS Barely readable if you enlarge the image.

They have a "artery clogger" which involves chicken-fried burger and bacon, "The King" which involves peanutbutter, bananas and bacon (on a burger??? EWWWW) and a conch burger.

Thanks for the info!
We eat out in Davis a lot of nights due to theater stuff, so it's great to have a new option.

I'm not at all enthused by the fact that they have a $1 surcharge to substitute a veggie patty (or turkey) in place of the standard beef burger.

That, and the "Terodactyl" wings.

Other items of note:
• They will apparently be serving beer and wine.
• A side of fries is $4? A side of sweet potato fries is $7!?
• "South Western Egg Rolls"?

I'm really baffled that the sweet potato fries are $6 (or $7, but I have no idea what the difference is between the two types) when the burgers themselves are about $8. It's just such a weird price proportion, you'd expect either the fries to be cheaper or the burgers to be much more expensive. What kind of burger place has fries that are almost 90% of the cost of the burger? It's too bad, because sweet potato fries are awesome.

Regarding ability to see the menu, if you hold down Cntl while scrolling up with your mouse, the screen will enlarge (at least in Internet Explorer).

Hmmmm, $4 for fries? I could see that for a big-ass basket, but I couldn't see an lesser-priced option to get some fries with a burger.

Also odd that the base burger is $7.50, yet you can add a burger to one of the salads for only $2.

And I swear there's another burger joint I've been to somewhere here in town where they also charge extra to sub in a veggie burger.

Isn't conch an endangered species now?

The burgers don't even come with the fries?? Seriously?

Menu has disappeared from the link.

Considering all I've read in the comments, I think I'll stick with Bartley's and their delicious Yuppie burgers.

Tried them out tonight, got the Waikiki burger, it was huge, not RF O'Sullivan's huge, but a real good size. It was right to order, medium rare and truly tasted awesome. The chips it came with weren't salted (or at least didn't seem salted) and it tasted just fine that way. It also came with either cole slaw or boston baked beans, I got the baked beans and they were great.

I didn't get any, but the fries were huge steak fries and looked yummy.

The wife got a caesar salad, it was pretty big, she thought the dressing was ok, but the size made up for it...

the wait staff and owners (at least I think they were the owners) were great.

all in all, I think the bbc will be a great addition to the square.
