Crave Burger

There's a new burger joint in town! When you pass by White Plains, you can easily spot the store signage of Crave Burger. I had been seeing the sign ever since the restaurant was being constructed, and finally on a Saturday night, I got to try out the retaurant.

Barely 3 months old, Crave Burger is another on-the-go burger restaurant, with TAKE OUTs as their main leverage point. However, several tables are set up outside and inside the restaurant to cater to the dine-in market.

Brightly lit both inside and outside, the restaurant offers the perfect laid back ambiance, suited for those who just want to grab a bite to eat at a nearby joint.

Food offerings are limited to Burgers (as of now). Crave Burger starts at P110, with the standard tomato, lettuce, onion, and pickles. If its Crave Burger with Cheese, its P130, Double Crave, P145; and Crave Burger Ultimate is P165 (2 patties, 2 cheese).

Of course, burger lovers are also given add-ons, or additional 'toppings for the Crave Burger, ranging from P20 to P35. Choices include Caramelized Onions, Fried Egg, Shitake Mushroom, Blue Cheese, Maple Bacon, etc. And who wouldnt want Fries or Onion Rings with that? To complete the menu, Wedges, Twister & Skinny Fries, and Onion Rings are also offered (P75 to P90).

American meals are never just about Burger and Fries, though. Milkshakes are also a must! Strawberry, Choco, and Vanilla Shakes at P90.

For my visit though, I tried the plain Crave Burger...I just wanted to first taste the regular patty with nothing on it before I made a verdict. I had their Regular Combo Meal (P165), which included a Crave Burger, Skinny Fries, and Blue Lemonade.

The first thing I noticed: serving size was a bit small and the Skinny fries wasn't skinny. The Blue Lemonade was OK, slightly too sour for my taste. The Burger wasn't well done, which I would have preferred. I didn't ask for it particularly though, so I'd know how they typically serve their meat. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything spectacular about how the burger tasted; in fact, it was kinda plain for my tast. Fries was also just OK.

Unfortunately also, their menu is a bit limited, and since I didn't think the burger was that great, there was no real incentive for me to order something else.

My say? In the end, Crave Burger was worth a try, but I don't think I've found anything that would match my craving for either a Hot Shots or a Wham Burger. Maybe another time.
