Opened in May, CG offers an array of hearty, mouthwatering burgers, fries, wings and more at an affordable price.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant offers a spacious dining area with a modern-western look that makes for a pretty upscale dining experience at a burger joint.<\/p>\n<p>Carrying the motto of \u201call-natural, antibiotic-free, humanely raised beef,\u201d I sampled several items from their menu.<br \/>\nThe Pub Burger, a single stack hamburger with your choice of mostly free toppings\u2014cheese and bacon are extra\u2014is the basic burger. I got the burger with the works and chipotle sauce along with zucchini fries\u2014the restaurant\u2019s signature fry\u2014and a regular drink for just under $12.<\/p>\n<p>The burger patty was cooked well done and was a bit lackluster, but the tangy chipotle sauce made up for the missing juiciness of the meat.<\/p>\n<p>The zucchini fries were a fantastic surprise, offering a good, crispy bite perfectly complimented by the ranch dressing. I also got to try the home-cut sweet potato fries, which were also exceptional. Of the four sides, I thought they were the best. The regular french fries were disappointing, almost always being too greasy and missing a much-needed bite.<\/p>\n<p>Of the other menu items I tried, the steak sub was delicious but a bit too small for it\u2019s $8 asking price. \u00a0The other types of burgers I tried included kobe , bison and lamb, and were between $7.95 and $9.50.<\/p>\n<p>Except for the lamb, which was served with their special home made tzatziki sauce: a Greek yogurt-based sauce, the kobe and bison really didn\u2019t warrant the steep price increase over the regular burger.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I\u2019m a fan of CG burgers. The ability to choose what I want on my burger along with the overall variety of the menu will keep me coming back for more.<\/p>\n<p>4 out of 5<br \/>\n<strong><a id=\"internal-source-marker_0.05371556282406598\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cgburgers.com\/\" name=\"internal-source-marker_0.05371556282406598\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a id=\"internal-source-marker_0.05371556282406598\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cgburgers.com\/\" name=\"internal-source-marker_0.05371556282406598\">CG Burgers<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n8525 Mills Drive<br \/>\nKendall, FL 33183<br \/>\n786-439-2560<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick eight-minute drive from the Kendall Campus to The Palms at Town &amp; Country takes us to CG Burgers.
