I wonder if the lady on the grill will continue to eat in front of everyone's eyes.

No just in front of their ears.

Beausoleil
Portobello's Red Stick burger (haven't had this in a while, but it used to be one of the best in town)

Ate at Dearmans yesterday for the first time ever. Never went in before the fire. However my GF always raved about the place and swore it was the best burger in town. So I had high hopes. I left disappointed and she left sad that it wasn't the same.

Excusing the terrible untrained waitstaff the experience was terrible. I watched cooks lose tickets and mismake orders and screw up shakes because they still use a handwritten ticket system and don't have a POS. Food was a joke; soggy under-cooked fries and a dry burger that couldn't hold its shape. Restaurant was a bright sanitary environment with sterile fluorescent lighting that makes corporate brew look well decorated. Literally no redeeming values, and I don't see them making the necessary improvements. The only way they'll make it is with the support of outdated boccage retirees.

It probably is the same. Dearman's was always overrated.

Probably so. But with all the hype and nostalgia everyone associates with this place I had hoped for better. I guess her tastes have grown with the explosion of decent burger joints we've had. Too many great options in this town to settle for a shitty burger

No, the description you provided of the food is pretty much exactly what Dearman's was since at least the early 90s.

People liked it because they remembered their grandparents or a godfather or someone taking them there as a child and telling them it was good. It didn't have to do with the quality of the food.

I can imagine it's going to be very busy there, opening up right before the Holidays

That would explain the kitchen being in the weeds.

My mom, sister, wife and I went to Dearmans about a month before they caught fire.



Extremelyyyyyy overrated.


I’ll stick to my large hamburger from Dixie Maid.

Not sure what the deal is with Dearman's, but one obvious factor is that their restaurant is about three sizes too big for their kitchen and staff.

Watching them today, there's no way they can have a lunch rush without being terminally in the weeds.
