We heard great things about the burger at George’s at the Cove so of course we had to try it (there are four burger options on the menu). We ordered the Grilled Blue Cheeseburger ($13) made from high-quality Niman Ranch beef. The burger was reasonably priced, a good size, and came with a side of fries.

The Grilled Blue Cheeseburger was amazing! It came with lettuce, tomato, onion, delicious Maytag blue cheese and sweet onion marmalade and served on a fresh oversized bun.

The Niman Ranch beef was juicy, high-quality and although cooked slightly more than we preferred (we prefer a pink throughout), it was still excellent! The bun was also very good – soft, light, fluffy and delish. The melted blue cheese was flavorful and the sweet onions super tasty which added to the deliciousness of the burger and made it really stand out.

The French fries that came with the burger were delicious and some of the best fries we’ve had. The fries were warm, fresh, lightly salted and had the perfect light crisp on the outside.
