Luckily, I found a 1885 on ShiMing Da Dao to get my burger fix - it's just like the one near ShiDa, but (scooter) parking is nearly impossible here.

I, too, can't stop thinking about those seasoned crunchy hot fries!<br /><br />I tried the Mexican Chicken Tartar burger this week. I, too, was a little confused, because I took Tartar to mean like Beef Tartar (as in rare/raw), but it's actually referring to their Tartar Sauce! It's essentially a big piece of chicken breast that has been breaded and deep fried. The batter and the flavor is really mild, especially after wolfing down the half-mini-bucket of fries, but it was still good. Too bad the special is on Wednesdays where they also have some kind of steak burger.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839387190280292264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-62400321108027351262010-10-05T22:12:17.965+08:002010-10-05T22:12:17.965+08:00We loved this place too.

Thumbs up to both reviews!<br /><br />I ordered the Monday special (cheddar & swiss) for 190. The patty was seasoned somewhat salty, but you can definitely tell that they grind their own meat (frozen patties are never this juicy). The fries are excellent - served piping hot and well seasoned. As mentioned, free refills on soft drinks. BTW, Evans is on the way to 1885 - it was also packed on this Monday afternoon. Also would like to try Evans one day, but 1885 tastes good enough and the whole area is so far away from where I live that I may never get to Evans...Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839387190280292264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-62665890114904414552010-06-03T16:21:41.200+08:002010-06-03T16:21:41.200+08:00Hello.
