The Burger Bar By Wegmans Chantilly

Hmm, I am kinda torn right now between Burger Bar and all the other places that offer relatively tasty and well priced burgers already. Just ate at the first The Burger Bar in VA I think during opening day today. The service is of course stellar given the Wegmans standard for quality of course. The meal itself was ok.... See pic. Ok so the meat patty does not seem to be of frozen provenance. And it took me a few minutes to understand why they say it's irradiated beef as this is a great solution offering to those who like burgers cooked rare. So kudos for meat doneness option .... but was hoping to get more Maillard crusting on the meat patty. The fries are not double-fried so they do get soggy when cool. The sweet potato fries is the highlight due to the interesting cut which seems to make it crunchy on outside, moist & sweet on inside. The burger entrees seem limited. Was hoping for far memorable flavors (again, very little Maillard crust) but I'll hold the last star and see what specials or events this location might hold in the future. IMPORTANT note for all those with hungry kids when food shopping .... Yes, I would come back to eat here as the sit down area is very relaxing and family oriented.
