Grade: A
Before starting in on my second Burger Review I should reveal that I am a regular patron of Tumulty’s Pub. From decent drink specials to quality food and a relaxed atmosphere, I think it’s a fine establishment and a great, cozy place to drink and/or eat with your fellow man. But nobody’s perfect, I’ve probably caused more damage to my knees going in and out of their wooden booths than I ever did in all my years of missing cartoons to play rec sports.
Held between crunchy lightly toasted buns, made with Certified Angus Beef and topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and red onion, the Black Angus Burger is a force to be reckoned with. The individual ingredients blend together to create a burger that is flavorful, filling, interesting and absolutely delicious. My patty had the perfect amount of crunch without tasting burnt, greasy or smoky. The lettuce and onion were crisp and the melted cheddar and bacon really ties the burger together. You get quite a burger for your $8.50.
Served with fantastic golden brown fries and their signature lettuce wedge, you can be almost certain to leave Tumulty’s feeling satisfied, warm and possibly fuzzy*. If you can, I also highly recommend pairing your burger with their IPA.
*I’d like to apologize for the use of the words fuzzy and cozy in this review. If you didn’t enjoy my Big Lebowski joke we can’t ever hang out. Also while most everything else I’ve tried has been delightful, I don’t recommend ordering the Stir Fry.
