Burger Dive is a perfectly named restaurant. It has all the makings of a chain and I can definitely see it taking off. This location just opened near our house and even though I've mentioned it multiple times, Brig wasn't interested until she read about it on boston.com.
The first thing we noticed upon arrival was a PT Cruiser parked in front that was designed like a hamburger. I could attach a picture but it's even funnier to imagine it. When we got inside we saw that they not only had normal cashiers but also two kiosks where you could punch in your order, slide your credit card and skip the line. Pretty fancy for these parts. Since this was our first visit, we did it the old fashioned way so we could ask questions.
I ordered a Bakoneater which, unbeknownst to me, doesn't come with strips of bacon but rather the burger is half beef/half bacon. The only time it really tasted bacon-y was the first bite. After that, all the other ingredients took over and it just tasted like a normal burger.
Brig ordered an Ultimelt which she enjoyed but which was very messy. We ordered a side of fries that were very good but we found that their "large" was a little lacking. Also, they apparently have tater tots which we totally would have tried if we had seen it at the time.
Brig also wanted to try a milkshake because that's apparently their thing. We got the S'mores flavor and it was delicious! I was ready to blast them for trying to steal Sonic's thunder but they actually know what they're doing. They also have a station for different sauces you can try: ketchup, BBQ, honey mustard, chipotle, their own house dip and more.
The prices were exactly what we would expect, sans the milkshake which was probably a $1.50 more than one would think. This place is definitely on the fact track to becoming a chain and I foresee it being very successful in the future.
