Desi Vega Prime Burger review

We have kept DVPB in our rotation for pick up order since they have taken over Phil's Grill old spot in April.

We picked up last night. They had a full house and people were waiting outside. In the event you want to dine in, they have a pretty basic setup with some booths and a bar. Bartenders are friendly and they have your usual suspects on tap. Nothing fancy but it does it's job.

Simple menu, they don't get crazy and execute what they do, well.

I had the classic burger w/normal fixings, cooked medium. Wife had the gambino w/fire roasted peppers and onions w/provolone and garlic aoil, cooked medium.

You can tell burgers are hand made and handled delicately. They aren't dense like some places that serve that bigger style burger. Burger is almost "crumbly". Burgers loosely pattied, buns are soft but don't fall apart under the juicy burger and toppings.

Sorry for low quality pictures





I had cheese fries as a side, she has the onion rings. The fries are handcut, and real cheddar cheese is melted on the fries. Since it was to go, the cheese had hardened somewhat but still good. That's what you get when you order to go. To those familiar w Mr John's onion rings, that's what you get here. Marinated in crystal, thin, lightly coated in batter, and fried. One of my favorite OR offerings.






We also got some chicken wings, just for a little appetizer. They are "naked", fried, tossed in what seems to be a sauce made in house. Comes with a ranch made from scratch. Surprisingly good.






Just wanted to get the word out about this place. I figured not many make the trek out to harahan. Haven't had many better burgers in that "style". House cut fries, excellent onion rings. They have gourmet milk shakes I've yet to try.

Anyone have opinions if you've tried it?
