Found a really good fair priced place to eat tonight, this place is not fancy but the food was great. Pulled pork is to kill for. Chicken pita really good. Had one of the best apple pies I have ever had.
Same location as the Charter Houes and Jimbo's
Didn't have the burgers but the table Next to
us did and they said it's the best burger on the island

Sounds interesting. How were the prices? From what I can see on facebook a burger w/egg and bacon plus other toppings and fries is around $15. Not all that inexpensive.

Sorry, I'm confused. In the same shopping center as Jimbo's, or in their location?? I hadn't heard that Jimbo's had closed down?

I think the same general vicinity from what I can tell in doing a little research. Jimbo's is still up and running.

There is an article in today's Herald. Couple from Canada, specializing in Canadian food. It stated it is in the building in Valentinos old place. The paper review was very good.

They are on that little road that passes in front of the pharmacy and across from the outdoor eating area of Zee Best. They advertise breakfast but the several times we went there for breakfast they were closed.

Depends on the quality. A fresh pattie with bacon, egg, LTO on a fresh baked roll with fries is $15.00 anywhere. A frozen pattie with a frozen bun and bagged lettuce half ripe tomatoes with frozen twice over fries served room temperature at best, on a paper plate, not so much.

I think it's next door to Byblos, or at least in that strip.

No idea of the quality of the meat but the menu board posted on facebook simply states "6oz burger". In my area, even at a high end steakhouse with burger made from steak trimmings, you are at $13 w/fries but no egg. A popular chain burger place that is very good is around $12 with the egg and fries. It may not at all be out of line for what they are serving but the mention of "fair price" in conjunction with a $15 burger got my attention. I may just try it out myself in a month.

Based upon what I have seen delivered to many restaurants on the island, the burgers are mostly all frozen and range from low quality to Certified Angus Beef. Unless a place is grinding their own meat or buying from a grocery in bulk, my bet is on it being frozen.

The past few years, I would rate Mark's Place burger as the best to my taste but that is a personal opinion. Just like all the others, it comes down to personal taste.

Well the 6 oz kills the $15.00 tag. Needs to be 8-10 and fresh to get my notice.
