Indulge Cafe

After reading several Yelp reviews that raved about the tiny corner burger shop down the street, Griffin and I gave it a shot this weekend. Indulge Cafe, though the name may lead you to think French bakery, is a down home burger joint with an interesting and innovative way to present it's menu. Options include beef burgers, turkey burgers, and veggie burgers, all of which come in 3 oz (petite) or 5 oz (normal) varieties and can be made in a combo with a drink and their oh-so-delicious hand cut, skin-on fries. Turkey and veggie burgers are placed on a whole wheat bun, while the beef burgers are on a traditional white bun. Toppings include onions (can be grilled or raw), pickles, tomato, lettuce, mayo, & mustard. I chose the turkey burger on a wheat bun with Cheddar-jack cheese and grilled onions. While it was one of the best turkey burgers I have ever had, I couldn't help thinking that if I had the sauce from In-N-Out that this burger would damn well be near perfect. I tried a bite of Griffin's beef burger and I have to admit that it was better than the turkey. The meat was so juicy and tender. I thought that the 3 oz. serving would be a little small, similar to a kids meal, but it was plenty for me and the 5 oz. burger looked pretty colossal. Being still pretty new, the place wasn't exactly hopping, but everyone there was really nice and accommodating. Griffin and I were the only customers sitting and eating there, but a few people came in and out in the 30-45 minutes we spent there. It's a really small space, so hopefully they won't get too busy to seat all of their customers soon!
