Big Basin Burger - Saratoga

The food was enjoyable. They offer a children's menu, and the mac 'n' cheese is a standout. Their specialty appears to be burgers, all of which were quite tasty. The French moo burger was excellent, although the bottom bun was a bit soggy—really? At a burger place? The outdoor seating has only seven tables situated on the street, which can be noisy, especially with all the motorcycles around. The server was attentive without being intrusive.

If you love burgers, this is the place for you! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the service is excellent. They also have a great selection of beers.

I had the steak salad for the second time, and it was just as outstanding as before. The steak was cooked to perfection—juicy and flavorful, far exceeding my expectations for a burger joint. In fact, it was even better than some high-end steakhouses I’ve visited. I also enjoyed the pineapple cider; it was incredibly refreshing and delicious.

In the heart of downtown Saratoga, the Big Basin Burger Bar has been the first to open since 2015. As the name says, Big Basin Burger Bar offers a variety of signature burgers along with rice bowls and salads for anyone looking for something else. They offer an impressive variety of proteins on their menu, including bison, the impossible burger, and a vegan option, so there is really something for everyone! We arrived in the late afternoon on a Monday, with many seating options to choose from (both inside and outside), we chose to sit outside to enjoy the summer day. We went with the French Moo Burger and the BLT Gobble Club. Well, what Burgermahl is completely without pommes, so of course we had to get some. I was torn between her regular frits and her sweet potato fries (a personal favorite of me), but fortunately they offer half an option to both get so I don't choose. The French moo burger was an instant favorite with the symphony of flavors given by the unique combination of creamy brie cheese, pfefferic arugula and salty pancetta. While enjoying the BLT Gobble Club overall, I found the Patty to be a bit dry (but fair is turkey). In the future, I will probably go with one of their proven and real Burger option instead of this sandwich. If you are in the Saratoga area and are looking for a great burger place, Big Basin Burger Bar is probably the one for you!

Came here after a rigorous hike, was in the mood for something very filling and greasy and this was the perfect choice. All their burgers look amazing, but decided on Wild Thing because I love bison and gruyere! We also got some garlic parmesan fries and onion rings to share at the table. Even at the lunch rush hour, our food came out in reasonable amount of time. The appetizers were very good! We were glad to have ordered 3 appetizers though, even though they said 1 could be shared by 3 people (we were a group of 6). They may have underestimated the hunger from hiking for 3 hours! The burgers came out quickly too, and it was so good! There is a lot going on but all the flavors and textures worked with each other. I was very satisfied. Not usually in this area, but will definitely return when I 'm back!
