The Burger Guys' Review

Reviewed June 1, 2022

The Cheez Buddy at Automat is a burger that dances on the line between mediocrity and potential. The milk bun is a soft, supple delight, providing a solid foundation for the burger. The patty, while praised for its texture and crumble, seems to be a divisive element. Some find it flavorful enough to stand as the hero, while others feel it lacks the punch needed to elevate the entire experience. The onions and cheese attempt to add layers of crunch and flavor, but they struggle to shine through the meat's dominance. The absence of sauce on the bun is a curious choice, perhaps to prevent sogginess, yet it leaves the burger feeling incomplete. Even with the addition of a garlic dill sauce, the overall essence remains underwhelming. In summary, The Cheez Buddy is a burger that satisfies but doesn't quite captivate, landing it squarely in the middle of the pack.
