We went to Brooklyn Burgers and Beers last week thinking that if you have the balls to name your place Brooklyn Burgers and Beers it's going to be fantastic! It's going to be one of those burger experiences that you'll be thinking about for the rest of your burger life. You should be thinking that Brooklyn Burgers and Beers is one of THE burger places that you'll always compare ALL of your burger experiences to for the rest of your life.

Unfortunately, That's Just Not The Case.

There was no excuse for not being a GREAT Burger Experience.

NONE. Sorry.

Don't get me wrong, Brooklyn Burgers and Beers was...good, but that's all it was was just good. And that's not enough when you've got the audacity to have a name like...

Brooklyn Burgers and Beers.

My burger was...good. Not GREAT. There was something lacking in the overall taste of the meat, not as fresh as it could have been? Not the "Perfect Blend" of meat? Not cooked properly, to where delicious beef juice is dripping out of the burger? Two slices of cheap American cheese, instead of the most premium American Cheese that Money can buy? YEAH, premium American Cheese. It can be had. I get premium American Cheese all the time at MY deli in...Pennsylvania! Out in the sticks of Pennsylvania too, I might add. If I can get outrageously good American cheese in the middle of nowhere, you damn well better be able to get it in Brooklyn! Along with my burger I had Onion Rings, pretty good onion rings, but again, not Out Of This Friggin' World Onion Rings! Not those kind of onion rings that have Big Fat Slices of Onions inside of them, I mean BIG FAT SLICES OF ONIONS! THICK ONIONS! Those are the kind of Onion Rings I WANT!

My wife had the 3 Sliders - One Pulled Pork, One Fish and One Chicken. All of which were again...good, but not great.

Are you sensing a theme here yet?

The pulled pork slider and the chicken slider were both good, but what I noticed is that they were not HOT, oh, they were warm, but not hot. Not at all. The fish slider was...OK, too much flaky coating and definitely not enough fish...at all. I know that by definition, sliders are going to be small, but they should be jam packed with whatever it is that you're having on those small buns, I mean OVERFLOWING, spilling off the buns full.

Now, to get to another KEY POINT. My wife had the Sweet Potato Fries with her sliders.

They were pretty damn good...BUT, here it comes folks!

In the bottom of the cup, underneath the good Sweet Potato Fries were some ANCIENT DARK BROWN "Been Sittin' In The Deep Fryer ALL Day Long" Sweet Potato Fries.

Friggin' Nasty, Nasty...NASTY! Sweet Potato Fries! I MEAN NASTY!

I Mean SO Nasty that they should have been dumped in the trash Hours Ago Sweet Potato Fries!

There Is NO EXCUSE for That To Ever Happen!

EVER.

Come on Brooklyn Burgers & Beer!

Step Up Your Game!

Remember This, When You Start To Let Stuff Slide, People Remember, And Won't Come Back.

Brooklyn Deserves Better!

Much Better!

To conclude, if you're ever in Wilkes-Barre, PA and want one of the "Lifetime Burger Experiences", I suggest you try Benny Brewing Co. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, except that I ate there a month or so ago. That's it.
