Since Miss Vinegar does a lot of proofreading in her other life, she was appalled the first time she saw that Cheeburger Cheeburger was coming soon to a venue near her. Indeed, it was several days before she could believe it was really spelled that way. This may help explain why she and PoBoy put off lunch there for a long time.
Holidays, however, should be for getting things done, and in the spirit of trying something new, Miss Vinegar girded her loins with her check card and headed out.
Cheeburger Cheeburger
in Tanglewood Mall, Roanoke, VA
The Food: Cheeburger Cheeburger (...sigh) is one of those places you suspect of wanting to put onions on the ice cream; even their basic chicken sandwich comes with sauteed onions. They do, however, have a nice build-your-own-burger selection, with burgers ranging in sizes from 5.5 ounces to 20 ounces. Miss Vinegar built a bacon-Swiss burger with honey mustard, and PoBoy went Italian with marinara, provolone and garlic. Both were quite good. A word of warning, however: the restaurant does not provide fries with the burgers, and the medium fries basket we ordered was really quite large. They also have a comprehensive soda fountain, offering handmixed sodas as well as shakes and malts.
The Service: Quite good. Our server helped us navigate the menu easily.
The Ambience: Retro fake diner it all its glory: cardboard cutouts of Elvis, lots of pastels and chrome.
Overall: *** (three stars)
