The meat or patties at it's core for me; how it is prepared, cooked and sourced.

I wouldn't like any burger if the meat tastes like cardboard or weird mystery meat flavored where I couldn't distinguish what it is.

I don't like it when it's too oily either, nor gone soggy nor soft for whatever reason.
I don't mind cooked medium rare -- that's just me; however I don't want my burgers to be too hard to bite into. Definitely would be annoyed if the patty is easily disintegrated or torn apart.

Anything else to me is a bonus.

Asking for preference, I like it better with bacon with less veggies as possible.
Tho, veggies; I want them fresh and crispy if it's not one that adds layer of flavoring.

Buns would be best when freshly baked.
Condiments are relative. I'd want something simple for usual like ketchup and mayo, but spin things around when feeling adventurous.

Else; I'm not a regular consumer.
I only tend to eat some if I got the ingredients and have it as a quick breakfast or snack.

You just gotta pace yourself. :nerdy:

They have good burgers.

I prefer their cheeseburger. I recommend ordering the "Little Cheeseburger" because the normal one has two burgers.

You don't get to choose the degree of cooking. They have a standard level of cooking. Of good ground meat.

You make a good point. I guess I had the 2 patty option which seems to be the default. Note I've been there more than once. But I can recall not feeling so good after, and that was a few years ago.

The "Regular" size is too much for me to eat comfortably. And I keep the fixings I order simple: mustard and onions...and I specify I don't care whether the onions are cooked or not, or diced or not.

If you want to overeat there: peanuts. (Free and available in bulk quantities!)

A bit of breadcrumbs in the patty makes a huge difference, they help retain moisture.

I used to use breadcrumbs, then I experimented with wheat bran flakes, I find it has a nicer texture than breadcrumbs and better fat absorbency.
