Not saying it was the best burger, but close to the house and usually pretty good. Went tonight and noticed they added a few new items, but quality is now absolute garbage. Burgers seemed like frozen patties from Walmart, cheese not melted, microwave bacon. It was really bad.

Curious if new ownership or investor, or did John Taffer come in and ruin another establishment by saving a penny to give up on quality.

Sad to hear. I wanna say around 2011 or so they were all the rage and talked about here extensively.

I dunno but they are definitely still as busy as ever.

The boys and I went out to Curbside a few weeks ago. Horrible. Nobody ate more than a few bites. We left.

We went over to Our Mom's next to Winn Dixie. Much better.

Left BR last year, but I liked Burgersmith better than Curbside

Were they selling alcohol? We went a week or two ago and the bar was empty like you see when a license gets revoked

I hope this isn’t true. I haven’t been in a minute but Curbside is my favorite burger in BR.

The only curbside burger I ever had was last year at the LSU golf fundraiser at UC. They had a truck and were cooking burgers on a blackstone griddle. It was a delicious burger. Kinda sad to hear.

Pretty sure it's still owned by HMH. Maybe new staff?

I wish there was a record, over hundreds of episodes, that supported your claim.

It went to shite a while ago. We used to go once or twice a month with the work crew and then they changed management and got a ton of new staff and we all said "this is trash, we aint coming back"

It's been bland trash for years.

Pointed it out years ago and the finnicky food board loyalists acted like muslims who saw a picture of their favorite pedo.

I have probably been to curbside more than anyone from 2018 to 2023. With young kids it was great. The quality has gone down a bunch. I used to like when the kids wanted to go. Now I talk them out of it.

I had a $20 gift card to go there, so the bride and I went one evening a few weeks back. We both got enough for us to eat (burger, side, drink), and we split a milkshake. Our total using the gift card was about $40$. I told her this would have been a $60$ dinner if not for the gift card, and she was appalled.

Our burgers were decent, but they were way too messy to eat like a good ole burger.

I went to Curbside a few weeks ago and don’t have to go back. It was not good!

I've always thought they had C- burger patties and A+ toppings.

I've never really thought Curbside was anything special, but my kids love the grilled cheese and tots, it has plenty of space for them to play around outside, and we live nearby. We go frequently for an easy meal. Almost weekly.

my opinion of the place as well. I really like the bun and the toppings but the actual burger is terrible and has always even terrible at the store. I do remember the food truck being better

Went a few years back. Took a bite Into a medium rare chicken breast. That did it for me.
