I’ve heard good things about Short Stop Hamburgers in Colorado Springs, CO from many people for a while now so I decided to check it out today. Unfortunately they failed at delivering good service and good food.

I’m a weird, obsessive compulsive person so I order my cheeseburgers plain. It’s something I’ve done forever and I believe that a good burger shouldn’t need any of that extra junk on top of it to make it taste better.

Apparently in Short Stop land plain means you get ketchup, mustard, and possibly even mayonnaise on your burger. I had already driven away by the time I discovered this, assuming they were smart enough to know what plain means. I decided to just go with it and scraped it off.

After getting past the awful mustard taste the burger didn’t really satisfy. It wasn’t exceptional, it wasn’t very tasty. It was just a regular old frozen meat patty. McDonalds makes better burgers than this.

On to the fries. While they were nice and greasy (just they way I like em), they didn’t taste like much of anything. They could have used a little more salt and they even seemed as if they were frozen.

So Short Stop Hamburgers failed at delivering what I ordered, and at delivering a tasty burger. Maybe next time I’ll just stop at Big Kahuna Burger
