The worst part of ordering the cheeseburger at Royale is getting stuck with the royale with cheese. Even though the burger's $7 price tag is easy on the badass motherfucking wallet, the burger needs an adrenal shot of flavor. The bun comprises most of the burger at Royale. A massive sesame wheat bun encapsulates the patty, with ¾ of the bread on the top half of the patty, and a ¼ sliver on the bottom half of the patty. The bottom half of the bun disintegrated from burger juices, essentially going down in the 5th round, unlike Bruce Willis. The slice of butter lettuce looked tasty but the bun overwhelmed any potential buttery flavor. The patty, itself, tasted grungy and not very fresh.
When we ran out of ketchup, we almost went Samuel Jackson and struck down upon thee [Royale] with great vengeance and furious anger, but then the table next to us offered us their bottle. Disaster averted. So, honeybunnies, Anna rates:

Bex: Boring with a capital B! Everything looked yummy but it was all just boring and tasteless. I even tried to spice it up with some spicy mustard and lots of ketchup but still, nothing. Royale seems like a cool place to grab a drink and sit outside but I'd skip the food.
Roger: I liked Royale. It has all the makings of a cool bar/restaurant. Good bar, decent music,and cute backyard area. I just wish the burger lived up the location in which it is served. It looks like the perfect burger. The burger/bun ratio is right. The presentation is nice. Even the ketchup bottles are Heinz "big mouth" style. But its a fraking fugazi. NO TASTE. How did they forget the taste?? Are my tastebuds gone? Are we eating too many burgers? Wait, seriously, can that happen. Great now I'm scared.
Jane: Thankfully, the owners of Royale decided not to turn their bar/restaurant into a Jack Rabbit Slims-style tourist trap, so clearly they have some taste. Their burger, unfortunately, does not. I thought perhaps my tastebuds were off that night, but the fries were good and the onion rings were exceptionally delicious. So, it seems the burger itself is to blame, and it certainly doesn't deserve feature billing. Better to skip Royale and save up for a trip to Paris for the real thing.
