Prohibition Burgers and Beer

I have driven by Prohibition Burgers and Beer a few times and decided I needed to check it out. I mean the name of the place has beer and burgers in it. Upon entering I was greeted with extreme excitement as I was the first to arrive. The wait staff was very helpful and very attentive. The theme of the restaurant is 1930’s gangsters and all of the burgers are named as such. The décor is very modern swanky. The beer selection was decent. I could see this place becoming a great place to hangout and grab a burger and a beer in the valley. There will also be TVs playing mob movies. At the end of the meal, the manager came over and asked us for our opinion and wanted real feedback. The restaurant has not been open for very long and they are still fine tuning the menu. I plan to return after a while to see if there were any changes. But here is my initial review.

On to the burger. I ordered the John Dillinger. I am not sure what type of meat they use, but it cooked well and had very good flavor by itself. My only complaint is that the patty fell apart while I was eating the burger. The bun is a standard brioche style bun but seemed a little stiff and the bottom became a little bit soggy. It also had a garlic butter melted into the top of the bun. The burger came with apple wood bacon caramelized onions, gruyere, white cheddar, and mozzarella. The bacon was used well since it complimented the flavor of the burger without overpowering it. The mixed greens were a nice touch and the onions added good flavor. I wish there would have been more of them. The cheese seemed like a waste since the mozzarella overpowered the other two cheeses. Although I couldn’t taste all of the cheeses the mozzarella flavor worked with the rest of the burger. The one thing missing was some sort of sauce. I felt it could have added some more flavor and made it a little bit less dry.
