Burgerim is a pretty noteworthy Israeli hamburger restaurant chain (think Five Kosher Guys) that's more famous for its financial troubles--it's a pyramid scheme disguised as a franchise restaurant--but despite the Great Pandemic handicapping pretty much all businesses, it continues to open, even here in Louisville. Burgerim stepped into the vacant Zoe's Kitchen spot on Frankfort Avenue and, in spite of the pandemic, pressed forward with opening in spite of all of the chaos surrounding the chain and the world in large.
That established, how was Burgerim? Well, like with every Postmates order I've made in the past month, there was stuff missing. (In this case, my wife's soda; I'm 0-5 on recent orders from Postmates for missing stuff.) Not a huge problem, but an annoying way to start off any meal, particularly at a new place. However, all that ill will disappeared when I took my first bite of the dry-aged beef burger. Cooked just north of medium, the burger was juicy and delicious. The barbecue sauce was savory and brown sugary without being too sweet, and the onion ring at the top held up to travel and had crunch like nobody's business, with the onion and breading keeping together admirably.
My wife opted for the burger duo, two larger-sized sliders (3ozs) made in traditional burger style with lettuce, roma tomato, shaved onion, pickles, and house sauce. Again, no complaints, and the side of onion rings we shared stayed crunchy ever after they started to cool off thanks to the panko breading. All in all, if you're in the mood for a burger, it's definitely worth a shot.
A full-sized burger, two sliders, onion rings, and a Coke that never arrived ran $36.45 after a generous $10 tip.
