Cheeseburger – Key West, Florida

Cheeseburger? “That’s that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers. I ain’t never had one myself. How are they?” Well, read on. Marcela and I are walking around Duval St. in Key West looking for somewhere to eat and we come across Cheeseburger. It has everything on the menu I’m looking for, you know what I’m talking about. We sit down and look around at all the decor and they’ve got the Hawaiian thing down. It turns out there are a few locations in Hawaii as well as one in Las Vegas. I order a Yuengling on draft while Marcela gets the Pina Colada. We order Ono Onion Rings as a starter and receive them rather quickly. Good but nothing nothing extraordinary (plus unfortunately no dipping sauce). As we’re eating our o rings, we notice a pigeon just fly in and start walking around on the ground. Now here’s the crazy part. One of the employees comes out of nowhere with a bat, whacks the bird over the head and throws it into a sack of already dead birds. I couldn’t believe it. Alright, that didn’t happen, that was the version I daydreamed about while Marcela attempted to feed the pigeon. Once the pigeon was done ignoring Marcela, our burgers were served. Marcela had Lauren & Edna’s Favorite Cheeseburger which came with a grilled maui pineapple and california avocade slices while I got Royal Ali’s Cheeseburger which came with bacon and a fried egg (it also has thousand island dressing). Marcela loved her burger which I didn’t try because I don’t care for pineapple and I hate avocado (I know, I know, hate is a strong word) . I tried my burger, and I thought it was really good. Then, Marcela tried my burger and did not want to give it back. Actually, she told me that even though she liked her burger, she wished she had ordered mine. All in all, we liked the place and unfortunately, I mean luckily “No pigeons were harmed during this review”.
