Our 44th Review

Official Review #44

Pasquale's

786 US Highway 68 Maysville, KY 41056

606.564.4039

I will start this review off by saying We all Love Pasquale's in Maysville's Food, I love their Pizza, large ones and the Mini Pizzas, Garlic Bread, Fries, Chicken Fettucini, Steak Hoagies, Salads, whatever we have had their is awesome, it's just about my & our Favorite place to eat anytime, & it's always crowded & the service is usually about 90% of the time great waitresses, and it's a nice clean Place, also the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is excellent.

Now for the Burger review, I will make this one, quick & easy, it's a Frozen Patty out of a Box, which usually means, it won't be that good, I"ve had a couple like this that have actually been good, but this is not one of them, but again, it's a Pizza Place, so I won't be getting their Burger anytime soon, & I Recommend you go get one of the best around in either Old Maysville at 2 or 3 spots there or 1 place in Brooksville or several in Augusta, but not here.

I do recommend you come here & Get almost anything else on their Menu, as all the rest of their food is Fantastic, I could eat here anytime, it just won't be a Burger, if I were you guys, I would just scrap the Burger completely & Maybe just have a kids Burger, or, it would'nt hurt if you wanted to keep the Burger, to drastically update it, if you want to know how, try out the Delites Burger, or the Hutchison's Grocery Burgers, not far from Pasquales, & you will see what a great Burger tastes like, that would really help, but please don't serve the ones you have currently.

Final Thoughts: Not Good, either Upgrade it or get rid of it.

Final Rating: 2* Just Beating out Tumbleweed, for worst Burger in the area

Pleasant Ridge Chili

Our 43rd Review

Official Review #43

Pleasant Ridge Chili

6032 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45123

513.531.2365

I've lived in the area near this place for over 45 years, and all the times I've eaten here, I have never had one of their Burgers, I've always ate the Chili or Coney, 5-way or Double Decker or Breakfast, I can't believe I've never had their Burgers until recently, so here is our review.

We stopped in on a weekday about 3pm in the afternoon, the place was still about half full at that time of day, I have always loved all their food, and would recommend all the above items I mentioned above to anyone, it's a great stop for Breakfast, or late night especially, but really I could eat here anytime.

We all ordered just a Plain Hamburger: $2.55 to really test it out, some of us got Lettuce or other addons, but no cheese on this one.

The Meat is on the thinner side, maybe thicker than a Frisch's Big Boy meat, but it's still thin, the Bun was good, not a cheap, fall apart one, but it was a little big for the meat in my opinion, maybe next time I will try a double deluxe & see how it shapes up.

The Flavor overall was actually pretty good, just a little too much bun for me & a couple of our other members agreed, but all were in agreement, that this was a good burger, not great, not awesome, but just a good solid, plain ole burger, good enough for a quick lunch, or late nite snack, I would prefer myself to get Breakfast or Chili or Coneys or Double Deckers, as I think they are all much better than the burgers, you can get much better burgers in town, but for a quick stop, the burger with some good fries would be a good meal.

P.S. Please Do not Forget, as I have done on several occasions, that this is a Cash Only Location.

Final Thoughts: Great for a quick meal or late night, not top 10, or even makes our top 20 list, but that is not a bad thing or does not mean it's not worth getting, it's still a good burger, there are just too many better places in town & N. Ky. to get a great Burger, I just would not come here specifically for the Burger.

Final Rating: 6.5*

Next Tasty Review: It will be Pasquales in Maysville, we were planning on it before this one, but did not make it.

Carota's Pizza

Our 42nd Review & 2nd of 2014

Official Review #42

Carota's Pizza

115 Main Street Augusta, KY 41002

606.756.2343

We Love their Baked Carota Sandwiches with Ham & Swiss cheese, & like their Pizza, & Steak Hoagies, so when I saw Burgers on the Menu, I had to try them out, I don't expect great Burgers at Pizza places, but I still try a Burger anywhere I find one.

Mine came with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion & Mayo, I could not tell 100% if this was a Frozen Patty or real Beef, it was a good Burger, it was a mishaped piece of meat, & tasted good, so I'm not sure & I just didnt feel like asking, LOL, so I still don't know.

Either way, it was good, not great, not awesome, but for a Pizza Joint, it was a surprisingly good Burger, there are 4 places in town that serve great Burgers if your out just for that, but if your here with friends & want a burger, it's good.

I suggest never to order just a plain salad, I did, & it came on a regular sized plate, with barely a handful of lettuce scattered on the plate, it might have had something else mixed in, but I was so shocked, how little & just plain crappy this salad was, it was less than $3 I forget the exact price, but it was not much, it was barely worth two bucks, if that, I doubt I would have paid a $1.50 if I had seen it ahead of time, so forget the salads here, if this one was any indication of what they do here.

Price is good, & service can be very slow at times if they are even slightly busy, they usually have 1 waitress & she can't handle it all at times, the place looks clean, & it's located on Main Street in Augusta, Ky.

Final Thoughts: Good Burger, try it out if your here, but again, I like 4 other Burgers better in town, but that does not take anything away from this one, but I go here for the Baked Carota & Pizza anyway.

Final Review: 6.5* (Try it-above avg/Good to VG)

Cadillac Cafe

Our 41st Review

Official Review #41

UPDATE! This one has gone out of business, the food was not too bad, but the cleanliness of the Cooks and Waitresses, were awful, GLAD IT's GONE!

Cadillac Cafe

735 US Highway 68, Maysville, KY 41056

606.564.9909

This is our 1st review of 2014, we completed 40 reviews in 2013 & we hope to do another 40, if not more in the coming year.

We had passed this new Cafe several times, before we decided to give it a try, it's good looking, old timey Cafe & very clean on the inside, the Waitress was very nice, but the Cook was talking on his Cell phone as he cooked our Burgers, & he also did not wear any gloves of any kind, so due to these 2 facts, we decided we will not ever return to this place to eat again, as Cell phones are known to carry many germs & bacteria.

We did not think much about this at the time or we decided later, we would have canceled our food order & left without trying the food, this is no way for any place that serves food to allow it's employees to act, it's the same as if they used the restroom & did not wash.

So on to the review, which to us does not really matter, because we can't recommend this place due to the unhealthy actions of the cook.

We all ordered the plain Burger, which came with Lettuce, tomato & onion, and all with Fries.

Fries were good, & the Burger was not a frozen patty, & we ordered them medium well done, the Burgers tasted good, but we could have done as well or better on our own grill's.

That's about it for this review, since due to the cook's actions while preparing our Burgers, we will never return here again to eat & can't recommend this place to anyone else, as they are lucky that patrons were not made to get sick due to these unhealthy actions.

A note to the owners & hopefully the cook that afternoon was not an owner, either teach this person how to properly prepare food & wear the proper gloves & to never, ever touch a Cell phone and cook food, without washing your hands, look it up on the net, how filthy cell phones are, they are up there with Computer Keyboards & other items.

Final Thoughts: I would have fired the Cook on the spot if it was my place of business.
Just an Update to this review, someone left us a comment saying we were nuts & wrong about the cook, that they have seen different, well all I can say is, whomever you are that left that comment, you were not there the 1 day we were there & I saw the Cook, flipping burgers with no gloves on & a flipper in 1 hand & his Cell held up to his ear in the other hand, so please do not dispute something when you were not there to see it, I have no reason to lie or exaggerate, I only comment as I see it, & after seeing that disgusting unhealthy, germ spreading way of Cooking, I will never take the Chance to eat here again, you of course may continue to do so, because if the cook was so careless that day, then it's clear to me, it is most likely not his only neglect in being clean while cooking, so please by all means, continue to eat here, & anyway, Delites & Hutchison's Grocery barely 5 minutes or so away, have Burgers that are twice as good anyway, so I would go to either before I would eat this Burger again any how, so Healthy or unhealthy cooking standards aside, their are much better burgers around town & other closer areas.
And if this was the only time out of everytime this cook has cooked a meal here, it's 1 too many for me that he held his Cell phone to his ear while cooking my Burgers, & all Cooks by Health & Cleanliness standards, should cook with some type of gloves on.
So I will excuse your comment about us being nuts about our review, I saw what I saw & that changes nothing in my mind, personally, that was absolutely dangerous for anyone to cook like that, you could cause germs or anything to spread to the food & make anyone sick from it, so luckily none in our party got sick from this trip, but please enjoy your burgers here, just keep & eye on how the cook uses his hands & what's in them, & if they use no gloves, you better wonder what he has touched before he handled your food, because read online & look it up, a Computer Keyboard & a Cell phone are 2 of the very top Germ spreader you can find anywhere.

Final Review: We will rate the Burgers a 5.5 here, maybe we were biased by the cooks unhealthy cooking, but no matter, it would not have rated much higher, just a good, plain, simple burger, there are much better in Maysville & not far away.

Flipdaddy's

Our 40th Review

Official Review #40

Flipdaddy's

7453 Wooster Pike Cincinnati, Ohio 45227 in Mariemont
Newport, Kentucky.

They have 3 Total Locations

513.272.2337

Update #2  We just made another visit to Flipdaddy's in Newport, Kentucky we tried the Flipdaddy again,  the 1st time was a few years ago, it was much better than the one during Cincinnati Burger week, and much better than our 1st visit years ago, good enough to move it into the 10th spot on our top 10 list.

Update #1  We went here during Cincinnati Burger week 2018, we tried the Beer Cheese Burger, it was very good, we definitely can recommend it & will return here again soon.

We chose Flipdaddy's because of several people recommending them, & after reading a lot of reviews on the place, the reviews seemed to be up & down, a lot of good ones, &  a lot of so-so reviews, so we were in Mariemont & decided to give it a try.

Here is what they claim their burgers are, We have our very own awesome proprietary blend of premium quality cuts of brisket, short rib, and chuck. Years of research, testing and tweaking went into creating this blend. Plus, our beef is never frozen, sourced locally and delivered daily. The result: the ultra-fresh, beefed-up burger you’re about to enjoy. We all ordered the Flipdaddy without the cheese. & we all ordered sides of Mac n cheese.

* The Flipdaddy: $8.99  served with Fries.

The quintessential, classic American burger served with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a pickle. A little retro, but always cool and always delicious. Add cheese if you please for $1.00.

Grilled macaroni and cheese: $3.99 

The Bun was very good, it appeared to be a Brioche Bun, which is our favorite burger bun, & it's the best-looking bun you can find for a burger.

The bun was a bit big & thick for the flatter meat, either beef up the beef, or get a less thick bun to match the meat, it kind of overwhelms the meat flavor too much.

The meat was a fairly good-sized piece & mine was medium well, but we could not tell much difference in the flavor of the well-done burgers & the ones that were not, 1 member of our group even asked if it was a frozen patty, but Flipdaddy's claims it is not, & sticks to the above description.

The meat was slightly overdone on all of our Burgers, it did have the appearance of a Frozen Patty, but it had a pretty good taste to it, not great, not awesome, but good.

The Pickles on it were very good, along with fresh-tasting lettuce, tomato & onion.

The Fries were also good, everyone agreed that this was a pretty good overall tasting Burger, not a top 5, & maybe not even top 10, but still, a Good Burger & everyone said, they would come here to get one again, & maybe try out another type.

We all ordered the Mac n Cheese which is Grilled, they put a pile of Cheddar cheese on the Griddle & Brown it, then throw on the Mac, & Pile more Cheddar on top, then flip it over to brown the other side, we all loved it, & Thought it to be one of the best we've had anywhere, they also put it on a burger for you.

The Place was a very nice looking, newer looking sports bar, with several Tv's to watch, the girl that took our order was very nice, very clean place inside.

Final Thoughts: We would come here again for this Burger, as it was good, even though it's not top 5 & probably won't make our top 10, it's still good, & we recommend you try it, along with a Mac n Cheese, we have so many excellent burgers on our top 10 list, it's not a sin if a burger can't crack the list, that does not mean they are not good burgers though, so try this one out & see for yourself.

Final Rating: 8.7* (Try it out-above Average/Good to Very Good)
