Parasole entered the local burger wars with the opening of
Burger Jones. As snarky and wry as you'd expect, the menu is chock full of
creative upscale burgers, hand-cut fries, and adult shakes.

Relentlessly maligned on blogs and early reviews, Jones
has found its equilibrium at a higher level than many might have imagined.
It¹s a typical Parasole casual venture: lively bar, nice atmosphere,
friendly service from attractive servers, a menu that isn¹t afraid to crack
a culinary joke or six, and a bent toward inconsistency. But its menu is
built around one food, pure and simple, and it is in the burger realm where
the restaurant finally seems to be hitting its stride.

My Birkenstocker was pretty good - not the very best
homemade veggie burger I have ever had but still good enough to order again.
I liked that it had some black beans in it but I didn't like that it was
still mushy with the texture not well distinguished from the bun itself.

Overall, the experience was good but not mind-blowing. The
burgers aren't outrageously priced (they top out at $9.99), but as soon as
you throw in a few drinks and sides, it's easy to run up a
larger-than-expected tab. I'd wait 15 minutes to eat at Burger Jones, but
definitely not two hours.

The fresh, hand-formed patties, tantalizingly thick and
wide enough to hug the bun's perimeter, are a blend of several cuts of
fairly lean beef. They're beautifully seasoned and, when they're grilled to
order (which doesn't always happen, alas), they sport all the
characteristics -- char, sizzle, hot running juices and big beefy flavor --
that burger lovers love.

My advice: If you go to Burger Jones, gorge on cheese
curds and get everyone at your table a different shake‹but don¹t expect much
from the burgers.

Numerous visits by this writer and several burger-loving
friends over the past few weeks have elicited comments ranging from
³Overall, pretty good experience. If I were in the neighborhood, I¹d go
back. I wouldn¹t go out of my way to go there, probably.² to ³Ugh, I was so
disappointed.²
