I'm not sure I'd go back. In the end I was content, but definitely less than happy. The issue was that my wife got upset because she couldn't find anything on the menu that wasn't a burger type meal, and she settled on a hot dog, however it did not come with a side. She would have to pay 9 bucks for a basket of fries, over already paying 9 bucks for a hot dog. Yeah, no. My kid got a kids hot dog and fries, that it did come with, and the waitress just said it was a smaller size. Idk. She also loves brussel sprouts, but it turns out they come with some onion type thing baked in, so that wasn't going to work. Yeah she was not happy. Well then the food came. My kids hot dog was exactly the same as hers, but he got fries and she didn't. Seriously. I don't get it. Instead of complaining we just won't go back, simple enough. I will say that my burger was ok, definitely not bad, but then the overall experience and ambiance inside wasn't my favorite. I just don't care for that type of table and chairs, not as comfortable as I'd prefer, especially for that kind of money. I think they must be overcharging because the rent is crazy high, I can only assume given the other types of shops in this place.
The servers were delightful and helpful. The food was good. My only complaint is that they think are a little too proud of the food. A burger is like $12.95, so not that expensive, but they charge you 2.99 or 3.99 for a tiny little side of fries. The burger wasn't that big either. I know everything is expensive right now, but potatoes aren't ever THAT expensive. If the burgers came with the side of fries, Bocado Burger would have made it on our burger eating rotation. Unfortunately, selling a burger without fires isn't going to cut it when you have so many burger places that include fries with equal, if not better, burgers - Ted's, Bad Daddy's, and Salt to know a few of the top of my head. You remember when Cartman was making burgers?
Oh! They had a cheeseburger that I found delicious! wow, I am usually skeptical about the fancy burger joints, being a Five Guys type of guy, but this was a very good cheeseburger! Well done!
My husband and I were out at Avalon one night and were in the mood for a burger. We decided to give Bocado a try since it had good reviews and we were in the area.Walked in and were told the wait was 20 minutes. After an hour, we were finally seated. I normally wouldn’t mind waiting, especially since most places are under staffed, but I had our baby with us and to be off by that much seems excessive. Had we known the wait was 3x longer than quoted, we would have come back another time.After being seated, we waited some time before the waiter came by. We put in our order immediately.Positive note, the fried green tomatoes we ordered were fantastic and the best thing we ate. (Reason for the two star over the one) However, we were given plastic takeout silverware to eat it with since they ran out regular? While other tables around us had regular silverware.Our burgers were just ok. I ordered the southwest burger, which was VERY bland. No heat or spice. My husband got the Avalon burger and said it was nothing special. We split some sweet potties fries. While good, it looked like we got the bottom of the barrel on options. When you pay a $4 up charge to get fries, you would think you would get better options than the half burnt leftovers.We also ordered cocktails. While they seemed to have a heavy hand on the pour (another reason for two stars over one), they weren’t all that great either. They also came out as we were getting our food since the only bartender was also waiting tables.Overall: there are much better sit down burger options in the area, especially for the price (almost $20 for a burger and fries) and the wait.
The service was SO BAD. Everything was disorganized and confusing from the beginning. Plenty of tables open but there was still a long wait time because there were only 2 servers. The inside of the restaurant smelled like dirty mop water. We sat outside. Our server visited another table first- although they were seated after us. The manager- who was visibly overwhelmed and picking up the slack of the rest of the staff- had to take our order and bring our drinks. Our waitress only visited our table ONCE, didn’t even refill our water after we asked. The food- which took forever to come out, was good but the service was AWFUL.
Good burgers and fries. Good service
Delish. Love the herb fries with buttermilk ranch had them with a side BLT burger. Lol!
We had the Bocado and Southwestern burger and both were delicious. Always give two thumbs up to burger places that do fresh cut fries. Only downside was we ordered one side of herb fries but got regular fries instead of herbed and ordered a kids chicken tenders but the tenders were a little over cooked.
Really good burgers in so many different selectionsGreat sweet potato fries and seasoning. Amazing salads. Really good alternatives
In the Center of Avalon surrounded by offices, and luxury stores to burn the Calories after a lovely meal.Simple menu to order from. mouth licking burgers and the cheesy fries were perfect for a quick bite. The service was great and friendly.
