City Cafe East

Oklahoma burger: Decent, 4/5 (from someone who never had OK burger before). Ordered without pickles and with sauce on side. Unlike a regular smash burger, this had thicker patties and the charred side without onions was exactly that: charred/burnt instead of crispy with Maillard reaction. And unlike a regular smash burger, American cheese didn’t work well here because there was a contrast with the natural flavor from all the onions. The latter highlighted/brought out the processed flavor of the cheese. When I added the sauce, it all did go well together. The humble onion was definitely the star of the show. Truffle fries: 2/5. The fries were very crispy, so their regular fries must be good. The truffle oil however tasted like chemicals and rancid. It ruined perfectly good fries and turned them into something hard to eat. I’m thoroughly confused about the reviews that said that they’re a must get or that they want to protect the fries like their baby.

This is a very small restaurant with great food. Got the meat and three with dessert and was so full I couldn't even eat it all. Have been wanting to go here for a long time but only being open and lunch during the week I have never been able to go until yesterday. Next time I have a day off during the week I will definitely go again.
