Recommended to us by @cjlittlebrown, it was time for us to continue our exploration of Escondido, California by visiting Burger Bench.
For our Vegan followers out there, don’t despair and conclude that this place has nothing to offer you! How does a “Veggie Melt Grilled Cheese” sound to you? Not bad? Well how about a “Brie and Fig Melt?” “Pestomato Melt” anyone? This is definitely not your burger only joint.
Now back to our burger peeps…don’t worry, we didn’t forget y’all! The breadth of their burger menu is impressive considering that the orders submitted by our Review Team included a “Bench Burger”, “Smokehouse Burger”, “Taco Burger”, and a “Turkey Burger.”
Their burger “accessories” included chili (which had just the right amount of heat; enough to challenge you, but not punish you) and regular fries/sweet potato fries/onion rings/tater tots (each include the accompanying sauce of your sauce and the “Bench Sauce” was my favorite).
Our only error was neglecting their milkshake offerings as FOMO sure kicked in when we glanced around as we were finishing our meals. From our vantage point they looked phenomenal!
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
