Back Alley Burgers-La Grange

I had heard good things from friends and family about this burger joint, I have only recently had the time to try this place out.  I had there Tailgate Burger.  This skyscraper of a sandwich started with a pretzel bun, 1/2# burger cooked medium, a brat sliced a top that with sauerkraut and fried onion rings.  I was amazed by the options and how the food was.  i finished the sandwich along with a side of homemade french fries and fried pickles.  That was Sunday.  I went back Tuesday with my girlfriend, Renee.
I took the time to read the menu more slowly this time instead of just picking the first thing that sounds good.  I finally decided on a Knead a Big Burger.  A white burger bun, 1/2 # burger, swiss, pastrami, fried egg, onion, lettuce, tomato and horseradish sauce.  This giant is so big it is served with a knife through the center to hold it upright.  Renee went the create your own burger route and did a veggie burger with pickles, onion, avocado and Merkts cheese.  We got a side of homemade french fries and fried pickles.  The fries are great, thin, crisp.  The fried pickles I have had twice and yes they are good, how ever i think they need less batter and more pickle.  I finished my burger, which was outstanding.  I needed a lot of napkins with the oozing of the egg yolk and juice from the pastrami.  Renee loved the veggie burger and said it was the best she has had.  We both will be heading back here in the near future and i strongly recommend this place to all of my friends out there that like fun and creative burgers and dogs!!!
