The Food

 Now, I was originally referred to dine at Jefferson’s by a friend to try their burgers and wings because they were apparently “out of this world”.  I ordered the basic cheeseburger, and when it arrived I was thoroughly impressed with how big the burger was, the amount of fries I received, and what came on the burger, all for only eight dollars. The burger came with onions, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese which were a generous offer, but I like my burgers plain and simple.  I decided to take off the onions, pickles, and tomatoes, so all that was left was the cheese and lettuce. When I bit into the burger I was a bit disappointed with the flavor because I was expecting it to be something I’ve never tasted before.  After hearing how good the burgers were, I thought that mine was just average.  The burger wasn’t very juicy, nor was it seasoned to perfection and it was a little burnt around the edges.  My dad ordered the mushroom swiss burger for eight dollars and he said his burger was decent, it was a bit more well done than he wanted it to be, but it was popping with flavor. He said the taste of the combination of swiss cheese and sautéed mushrooms complimented each other very well.  On the other hand, I went to Jefferson’s a second time and had a 6 piece, mild boneless wing basket for eight dollars.  For their wings they offered lots of different flavors of sauce ranging from spicy to mild, and they had different portions from a 6 piece to a 24 piece.  The wings were much better and lived up to their fame because they were perfectly breaded, I could tell they used premium white meat, and they were doused in just the right amount of sauce.  The side I chose with my meal were the basic celery sticks and ranch dressing.  They gave me a generous amount of celery sticks and I liked the big cup of ranch that came with it so I didn’t run out.  This time, my dad ordered the chicken wrap basket and he said that it was not up to par.  He complained that there wasn’t very much chicken in the wrap, and way too much lettuce.  He decided he’d stick to the burgers next time, but ask them to grill it less.  Overall, you get what you pay for at Jefferson’s and the lack of food quality in some categories is made up for in the price you pay for it.
