Tonight, we stopped at Iron Skillet in North Baltimore. I had heard that it has good food and that most people skip it because it is located in the gas station. I was impressed by the menu selection. That is where they stopped impressing me though.
The burger was a mushroom and Swiss burger topped with mayonnaise. It was ordered medium.
The bun....store bought. Plain. Zero flavor. It was, however, soft and not stale. I picked most of the dollar-store-special-bun off of the patty.
The patty also lacked flavor. I would be shocked to learn if they even salted the patty. The patty left a greasy film in your mouth. It was over cooked. It was past well done. I consider it burnt. There was not one dripping of juice in the burger. You needed water after you swallowed to feel like you weren't choking on the dryness. I would also be surprised if I learned that this burger was not frozen. I wonder if it tasted so bad from freezer burn.
The toppings were not what I expected. The mushrooms were probably taken off of the salad bar. They did not seem to fit the burger. They also were flavorless. The mayonnaise did not help with the burgers dryness. The Swiss cheese was the only redeeming quality of the entire burger.
I will never go back to this restaurant despite the large menu due to the lack of quality of the ingredients and the lack of flavor. I can make a burger twice as good at home on the stove top for a third of the price.
Toppings: 2
