yes--you have a point chan yvette--I did show up to their establishment of my own free will to spend my money on what is rumored to be the best burger in town.

Shame on me for expecting that a restaurant that normally has free tables for walk ins would actually be willing to accept my business.

I've been to plenty of restaurants that have nearly all of their tables reserved year round--but they always have a few tables open for walk ins.

Furthermore, they always post a sign outside if they are not accepting any more reservations or if they do not have any free tables.

Why is everyone giving me such a hard time about expecting a restaurant to behave like a restaurant?

Jeesh. Anyway, I'me over my Kobe cravings--even tho I didn't get one.
Now I'm craving bison burgers.

There's a few other closer places that serve really good burgers too.

1) Balcony Bistro
2) Manderes
3) Bailies
4) Gourmet Express

all of these burgers are in the gourmet category and you'll really like them - and you don't have to drive across the river to get there.

Except supermom lives on the Norf Syde!

I put Folsom Burgers in this order:

1) Folsom Bistro
2) Gourmet Express
3) Scotts Seafood
4) Balcony Bistro (if they could just get the bun right!)
5) Manderes

Never had a burger at Bailies.

Supermom, Raley's has ground bison in their meat dept. if you want to make your own. Probably not as good as Kobe and you still have to do the dishes, but at least you don't have to leave a tip.

uh--Balcony Bistro is that little 2 story jooint with the balcony on the upper floor directly across from Snooks? if that's the place your talking about--you so don't want to hear about Mothers Day last year.

Yes--I don't see it too often--tho it is yummers; especially on the open grill.
But what do you mean--no tip?

Ofcoarse I tip the cook!!

Ice cream for everyone!!!

Then ofcoarse the kids love to show their appreciation of ice cream by doing the dishes with only a modicum of sniping and toe crushing.

Sounds like they were acting like a restaurant - at least to my expectations. Your expectations are different.

I have never seen a sign that a restaurant like this was full (like a parking lot?).

That is a seriously good burger with the blue cheese on top. Everything about is is fresh and from scratch.

[Darthvader]

Ok- Am I missing something here? Why would it be the restaurants fault? Why Poor management? YOU showed up on the busiest night in restaurant business WITHOUT a reservation! Why should they take a table away from someone who took the time to make a reservation- It does not make sense. The world does not revolve around just you...im done ranting...uggggh

Because she's Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper MOM! And the place did a poor, poor job by not notifying everybody in a 20 mile radius that the busiest night of the year was reservations only. Poor, poor mgmt I tell ya. The customer is always right ya know, even when they are dead wrong!

I will concede, I have heard many good things about Karen's burgers, but never tried one. Seemingly, whenever I go there they're closed.

[carnivore]

I agree that Karen's dose build a good burger... pricy but good. Malabar also serves up a pretty good one.

seriously, you guys need to try the kobe burger at folsom bistro. i think its $7.95 at lunch and comes with a mound of perfect fries. i don't think its that cheap at fast food places and its perfect.
