Mid-October
Long-time blog supporter Mike Schwiwirian recommended this spot just north of the med center.
Desperate for a pick-me-up after long morning at work which skipped lunch, I headed to THC to get that burger high.
Service and Setting
I rolled in about 3 on a Saturday, and was surprised to find a pretty busy place. Standard counter operation with your number called over the PA when the order is ready. A couple TVs were playing college football games. It was pretty loud due to the number of people and absence of any decorations that dampen sound. The tables were pretty clean, though condiments were kind of strewn about.
Menu
No surprises. You can add cheese, chili, bacon, grilled onions, and avocado to the burger. They do have a few dinner plates with deep fried favorites like chicken fried steak. For place named THC, they were low on munchies food.
Beverage
They have a soda fountain. No alcohol. They have shakes, but I didn't see too many on other tables. The only buzz to catch here comes off the grill.
Sides
The fries looked better than they tasted. They didn't quite hold their form which left the crisp lacking. I guess that would make them "dank" in the negative connotation. Dipping sauces were ketchup and some hot sauces only.
Patty
Patty was pretty thin. I am surprised the menu does not advertise an add a patty option. Decent grease factor. Blends well with the toppings.
Dress and Bun
The bun is white bread that seems like a large version of the regular McDonald's bun. The grilled onions and American cheese together were ooey-gooey goodness. I was scraping them off the wax paper and eating it with fries. Real nice thick tomato slices. Pickles were on par.
The Verdict
THC serves a mediocre griddle burger. A little low on flavor, and an uninspired bun make this burger a reasonable option if you are in the area. Despite the acronym, the only thing this place has in common with marijuana is that you won't feel like doing much after consuming it. I give it a respectable 3 spurs.
