My darling friend Jason has a new burger love. On our whirlwind Saturday afternoon, he insisted we refuel with some sliders from Modern Burger.
I begrudgingly admit, I like this Sam Fox concept. (Note the strong "begrudgingly" I put in there.) I have nothing against Fox or his restaurants, I'm just not a huge fan of chains, despite the fact that these are homegrown chains.
The decor is mod and I love it. Whites, teal blues, and wood. Modern Burger is the walk-up counter to Modern Steak. Their menu is small. Sliders. Fries. Salad (ha, why when there are sliders and fries?). Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Two high tables with benches are there, in the middle of the mall concourse, for your eating comfort (on seats 5-6 people, the other seats 2-3 people), if you can manage to eyeball another customer to eat faster and let you sit. What can I say, I have mad skills.
Two little sliders. Juicy. On soft buns. Melted cheese. Chopped onion. Lettuce. Thousand island dressing. Split a side of fries and it's the perfect amount of food for a refill lunch.
The Metro Burger at Metro Brasserie is still my favorite Phoenix Burger but try Modern Burger out. Report back.
