I’d recommend paying the extra $2 for a double beef patty so the beef shines through. I think the toppings could possibly overpower a single beef patty.

Oh, please, it’s hardly revolutionary. Here is the description:

A made-to-order quarter-pound per patty of 100% Angus beef topped with Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions, crispy sweet onions, and roasted garlic parmesan aioli on a toasted potato bun.

So it’s a burger, cheese, 2 types of onion, and aioli. Not that weird.

It reads like there's too much going on but it is perfectly balanced. The caramelized onions were deep brown and rich, while most places half-ass grilled onions. And the crispy onions might sound gimmicky but they give it great texture so it doesn't have a mushy mouthfeel.

I agree. It was just a tad saltier than it needed to be, but I was seriously impressed. I ate the whole thing and when I finished, I really wished I had two bites more. I hadn’t even expected to like it all that much.

I had low expectations but was intrigued enough to give it a try because we love french onion soup. For any restaurant, let alone a pseudo fast food burger, it's legit remarkable. Very, very well executed.

+1 For a moment, I wondered if I’d written this.

Well, I read your title as assuring me I would love the an onion-soup flavored milkshake. I was thinking, “I like a little bacon, maybe onion’s good too?” I was ready to try it, OP!

Tried this yesterday, no idea how long its been on their menu or how long it will stay on there. The best burger my husband and I have ever had. If you're not a french onion soup fan, you prob won't like it. If you are, it's just *chef's kiss* perfection. They totally nailed it.
