R G Burgers - Carmel-by-the-Sea

Walking into this place and you get the feeling of a modern dinner. The host greeted up immediately upon walking in, we waited a few seconds to be seated. They sat us in these extremely uncomfortable metal chairs. The waiter we had let off this energy of i don't want to be here. He was so monotone, brief, and annoyed to be where he was. The food came fairly quickly, with about a 10 13 min wait. Came out hot and fresh. Got a bacon burger with regular fries. And a pb j shake. Overall the best thing was the food.

Excellent, truly! And delicious, too : . I went for a rare splurge a perfect double turkey, mushroom swiss, great fries (FTR, I don 't normally like seasoned fries as they 're normally these horrible, universally similar frozen fries and these were completely different! , and a full on old fashioned milk shake made it perfect. Service is attentive, fast, and the quality overall was very high. Best burger in Monterey County if not beyond!

The burger I got had great blue cheese on it! I loved it. The shake tastes great as well. But the Mac and cheese tasted like it came out of a box, and I found it a little odd that the shake just came in the metal shaker. Still a great place, but I recommend the fries, not the Mac and cheese for a side.

I cannot give a rating for the food as the service and atmosphere were extremely disappointing. We were seated promptly, but that was the only positive aspect of our visit. The restaurant was noisy and uncomfortably warm, even on a pleasant day. The servers attended to other tables that arrived after us, cleared tables, and took payments from other customers before acknowledging our presence. Ultimately, we decided to leave. It was a terrible experience for a family-friendly establishment. If I had the option, I would give this restaurant zero stars.

I went to this restaurant on 7/14/23 for lunch. It was busy but not completely full. The service was very good and fast, and the food was well-prepared and tasty.
