About a month ago J and I were slightly hung over and on the hunt for a delicious burger. We ended up at a pub in pit meadows but they had a Sunday Bruch Buffet and the kitchen was closed. We could have stayed and ravaged the buffet but there wasn’t any burger on the buffet and the craving for a beefy, greasy, meaty filled bun wasn’t going away. We jumped back in the car and decided to just head to White spot until we spotted Bobby Sox 50’s diner. J and I looked at each other, smiled and knew this is where we would be eating.

Walking in the restaurant is like walking in a time machine. Not that I lived in the 50’s but I could imagine that this is exactly what it looked like. There is memorabilia everywhere and the furniture even looked like it potentially couldn’t have been a refurbished version of the original. The menu has quite a large burger section but they also have a pretty amazing sandwich section too.

I ordered the Forty Creek Whiskey BBQ burger, which includes an insane amount of fried onions, Swiss cheese, a 1/3 pound fresh lean beef patty and your usual suspects of red relish, mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickle. This thing was huge, and I could barely fit it in my mouth.  It was juicy, tangy, Smokey, sweet and delicious. This was exactly what I was looking for. There was also an obscene amount of home cut fries on my plate as well. This meal was impossibly for me to finish but boy did I try!

J ordered a mushroom burger and added bacon as well. It also included they’re typical toppings over a 1/3 pound beef patty. I could tell by the look on his face that he was also really enjoying his burger thoroughly.

The only complaint I had was the fries. Home cut fries are a little harder to cook and need to be blanched first to reach the perfect crispiness which they did but they didn’t drain the grease off my fries. They were dripping to the point of creating a giant pool of fryer fat on my plate. Then the fries sat in this making them a little soggy and unappetizing.  J’s seemed to be okay and we had so much that I just ate his but it was still a waste.

Since we were here for the burgers and they wowed me, we will definitely be back! The fresh patty definitely makes a difference. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
