4/5DC AND TRAVIS are going to my old and sometimes haunts that have an awe of mystery, realism and flair kind of like a Picasso painting in the middle of a freeway surrounded by art lovers stopping traffic, this used to be several other hole in the wall good old boy places to eat, while it is again, like Wimpies, a treasure, until then..A/T, Slow food eater.

More likely the other way around...Country Burger has been around longer than most restaurants could ever dream of.

2/5With all this 'dives' talk, I thought it was about time to take it to the streets.
What’s country about this particular establishment? Well, they have wagon wheels propped up in the window. Real wooden looking ones, too, not the dreaded marshmallow treats. There’s a drive through as well which appears to have an intercom system that was absolutely state of the art in about 1978. So, I suppose it isn’t so much a drive-in as thru.
Is it a dive, though? Well, I would say yes. Inside, the menus are posted on the plastic lightboards with black block letters. The cleanliness of the restaurant as a whole ranks somewhere around D-. The staff look like model renderings for early drafts of characters in a Grand Theft Auto game.
Since we’re on a burger related mission, I order the straight ahead cheese burger and fries. It takes a couple of tries before I realize the guy is asking me if I want mayo on it. I say sure, why not? This isn’t the sort of place you’re likely to find Napa Valley Chevre soaked olive skins for toppings, so it’s ok. They do have a fairly large number of menu items. Most of which surround the burger theme. Fitting, I suppose.
No booze available thanks to all the whacked out sex and alcohol laws around here.
How about it? Well, the bun looks kind of fresh. I mean there is a Tom Thumb basically right next door after all. The lettuce, onions and tomatoes appear totally bag, but they smell like vegetables so I don’t think they’ve expired too long ago. I suspect the cheese was a perfect square! Fun for geometry!
The fries are McCain level skinny again. I’m not a huge fan of this style, but since higher end burger places are serving them, maybe these guys are out to emulate.
The actual burger meat is a pretty disgusting looking thing overall in that it is a lightish shade of death with hints of grey. It’s about a centimeter thick. That’s not all bad, I imagine, because keeping it thin should minimize the size of any bones or pieces of glass you might eat.
It’s hot, the fries are a little crispy and put together it’s about five bucks. They’ve got a variety of combinations available, so if you just wanted to eat some generic burger across the street from a strip mall, this should fit the bill.
