Jetson's Juicy Burger

Jetson's Juicy Burgers has got nothing on other Toronto burger joints, except a different name. However, before I proceed to lay out a short claim of some pros, some cons, and some take-aways, you should know that I am guilty of holding high expectations.

Some pros:

They have booths. With an attempt to reinvent the 1960's diner-feel in the fast-food joint, the booths bore blue seats against a red backrest spread amongst a sea of yellow throughout all of Jetson's.

The burger bar is operated by singing teenagers who claims they have heard "Waving Flag" eight thousand times, and their rendition proves their claim as valid.

Some cons:

Though it is considered a fast-food restaurant, expect to wait. The "Cadillac burger," which comes with bacon and cheese was tossed onto the grill after we placed our order. Simultaneously, an order of "Chili Fries" was placed. Funnily, the fries got its smother of Chili while the Cadillac sizzled away, which begs the imagination of soggy fries. We waited and watched the bun get toasted, garnished, and sit sadly as the Cadillac burn away. In total, the wait took about seven minutes.

The Chili fries is a surprise at every bite as excruciatingly hard and depressingly soggy bits are available in intermixed temperatures. I blame the early pour of the Chili for the overall catastrophe.

The burger, as my friend described it, "is like eating out of your own backyard," and I asked, "So it's good?" to which he replied, "I'm eating it because it's already paid for."

Take-Aways:

Should I bring a date here: If you had just learned your primary colours, yes, but then again, McDonald's has got that covered.

Atmosphere: Casual and definitely jeans acceptable, heck even frat boys in hoodies and pajamas pants will get served. A lot of natural lights and mirrors, so ladies, avoid excessive makeup or the lack thereof as blemishes and pores will be revealed at Jetson's.
