When making the decision of what restaurant to call for delivery, the stereotypical choices that come to most Blackburn students’ minds are either a pizza joint or the Chinese place. What if I told you there was more? There is Burgers ‘n More in fact.
Unlike every burger place I’ve ever been to, Burgers ‘n More is a delivery- only restaurant in Carlinville. This makes it convenient if you want a good meal but don’t want to leave your room. The prices are reasonable too, but keep in mind that there is no pick-up option. Be ready to pay a few extra bucks more to tip the delivery driver.
The meal that I ordered recently was a double decker burger and a side of french fries, and it was far better than any other burger available in Carlinville. The patties were thick, hand made, and not overly greasy, and the fries were crisp and not over seasoned. The service was adequate. Both the person on the phone and the driver were friendly, and the food arrived just under an hour after I ordered. That’s not too long considering the quality of the food and the fact that I called at 6 p.m., a busy time for restaurants. The portions were also generous. They filled me up nicely, and I’m not exactly a small person. If I wasn’t as hungry as I was, I might not have been able to finish the whole thing. What I ordered came to $14, but it is possible to order a full meal under $10.
Burgers ‘n More is not just the name of the restaurant but it’s also the truth. The menu has a respectable selection of foods like burgers, shoes, hot dogs, soups and a few dessert options. There are also specials posted on their Facebook page almost every day.
The only criticism I have is not with the food but their web presence. There is no website, only a Facebook page. I personally believe that every modern business should have a website along with social media, and Burgers ‘n More is losing exposure and customers due to this. Another problem is viewing the menu. On their Facebook page, if you click “menu,” only a copy of their catering menu pops up. To view the normal menu, you have to dig into their photos. There is also an older version of the menu in their photos that has different prices, and it is very easy to accidentally skip over the new menu and order off the old one. I made that mistake and got a little surprise when the bill came.
I have already recommended Burgers ‘n More to my friends. It’s good food, and it definitely blows the standard fast food or Snack Bar burger out of the water. You can place an order by calling 217-930-2277, and you can view their menu on the Burgers ‘n More Facebook page.
