Burger Time!!!!

Back again from the beautiful Napa Valley. This time my road adventures took me to a local
drive inn called Taylor's Automatic Refresher in St. Helena. It was a gorgeous day and I just had to have a hamburger. I heard about this place so I decided to stop and give it a go!

The menu....get ready to spend a few minutes deciding. It's not the run of the mill hamburger stand menu. You have a choice of 9 types of burgers, 5 types of fries, hot dogs, soups and chilis, salads, other sandwiches, seafood, and chicken. To quench your thirst, you can pick from shakes, sodas, water, or the spirits of your choice.

You can look here for the complete selection: http://taylorsautomaticrefresher.com/

I ordered the Wisconsin Sourdough Burger. Surrounded by two slices of thick, toasted sourdough bread, the burger itself was juicy and tasty. With the mushrooms and BBQ sauce, it was a bit messy to eat, but well worth the effort. The meat was cooked medium well. I added grilled onions to my burger at no extra charge. The garlic fries that I ordered tasted more like pesto fries. They were light green in color and not what I'm used to when I order garlic fries. The taste was pesto in nature with a hint of garlic. I did not see any crushed garlic on the fries, so I assume that they used garlic powder. I finished my meal with a coke and had someone walk by offering me a free re-fill, which as a nice touch.

You can order your food to go, or eat at the many picnic style tables on the property.

Will I come here again...absolutely!!! The burger was a home run, but the garlic fries struck out for me! I think I'll go for the onion rings or sweet potato fries next time.

Food Quality = 3.5
Price/Value = 3.0 (over $25 for two burgers, garlic fries, and soda)
Service = 4.0
