And it’s definitely huge, we shared one, and there was still probably about half leftover. Like the kind I would have like to dump salt all over to keep myself from picking at it. The cupcake itself was pretty standard, but the frosting? Amazing. I noticed that on the side of the sparkler, it says “smokeless,” which it decidedly was not. It came out with a lit sparkler in it, which was fun and unexpected. They are not made in-house, but rather are from Mr. There were a few different cupcakes to choose from, and we went with the caramel one (other options were Red Velvet and S’mores). *The Boom burger that I ordered does not come with bleu cheese, that was my addition You can’t specify how you want your burger cooked, they are cooked “juicy,” and that was, surprisingly, perfect. They are made from 100% black Angus meat from Pat LaFrieda, which supplies a lot of high end restaurants, cooked on a flat top and smashed into the grill, very similar to how Smashburger does it. If you are going with others that want fries, save your money ($5) and at least split an order. They were thin cut, pretty greasy, and we barely touched them. It was really just their regular fries with a bunch of Parmesan dumped on top. No discernible seasoning, and there was no overwhelming rosemary taste on the Parmesan Rosemary Fries. The fries are a very generously sized portion, but really nothing special. Our burgers and fries came out ridiculously fast, although we had to remind our waitress about our drink. As it has a lot of bar seating and tvs (40!), it does get loud and crowded, so plan your visit accordingly. The lighting is quite dark inside the restaurant, the restrooms were very clean, and although they take credit/debit cards, there is also an ATM inside the restaurant as well (convenient, I suppose, if you’re settling up your tab and sharing the cost with a friend). The actual bar area (two of them) is huge, and there is more traditional restaurant seating on the other side of the bar. Our section had a handful of booths lining the walls and a big empty space in the middle. The restaurant decor is very sports-bar-like, with tvs playing different sporting events, natch. They also have Sangria Towers available, which are perfect if you’re going with a large group. The alcoholic drinks are all named by color, and we chose the “pink.” Good and strong. We also ordered the traditional Boom Burger, which featured two patties with cheese in the middle, and Boom Sauce on the side (sauce that you may more commonly know as Thousand Island).įor the fries, we went with the Parmesan and Rosemary version, and the standard version. When we saw the Guido Burger (with roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and a balsamic basil spread), we felt it our obligation, as born and bred Jerseyans, to order it.

Odd that the online menu doesn’t include prices. I personally find the huge menus too overwhelming.

Some days, that’s a rarity! The menu, while not huge, offers enough of a variety that everyone should be able to find something easily. Although she pointed out several menu items that she loved, we ended up going with different selections, but kudos to her for being helpful and knowing the menu and offerings. The waitress came over to take our drink order, and we asked for her suggestions on burgers. But holy short seats, Batman! I swear I felt like my knees were hugging my chest the whole time during our two hour stay, and it was definitely a little bit of a challenge when we got up to leave. We asked for a booth, if available, and since there weren’t any on the “restaurant” side, they suggested a half booth in the bar area. Ample parking in the lot, and we were greeted as soon as we walked in. The restaurant is very easy to find, right off the Garden State Parkway and near IKEA and the Garden State Plaza Mall. Boom Burger.Ī bit out of our local area, but not too bad. Two burgers, two orders of fries, one jumbo cupcake, and one 38 oz (super size!) alcoholic drink.Ī new restaurant that we hadn’t yet visited.
