Resteraunt review-Hamburger Factory

Weather: 79 degrees, a bit hot but the slight breeze helped cool it down
Preparation: none obviously, just the drive!

On the way home from our trainings today, my husband and I stopped here for dinner. The Hamburger Factory in Poway has always been a favorite place of mine; so when he suggested going there I jumped at the chance. Not have to cook on a hot day and enjoy a great meal? Count me in!

Of course, when you go to the Hamburger Factory you should eat, what else, but Hamburger! I ordered the Ortega and ended up taking half of it home. What can I say, I couldn't eat a burger that size in one sitting to save my life! I had looked at the Bleuburger, but seeing those chilis was too much temptation for me. Plus I had blue cheese on my salad.

My husband had the Gringo. It looked really good and he enjoyed it. Mine was delicious as well and I am so glad I made that choice. We also ordered frings (that's a basket with a mix of fries and onion rings for those of you who don't know). Their fries were pretty standard; but the onion rings were great! I have to say, they are probably one of my favorite onion rings around.

The environment of the restaurant is nice. It's got a great "old farm life" feel to it. It's a bit noisy inside, but that's how it's supposed to be in this type of restaurant. The only reason it affects me is that I can't hear a thing in places with lots of background noise and end up saying "WHAT?" more than I'd like to.

So, how does this score?
Appropriate for the weather: 5! Anytime I don't have to cook on a hot day gets a 5
Filling: 5! I brought home lunch for tomorrow...what else can I say
Healthy: 4. The fried food brings it down, but I did have a salad!
Ease: 5...what's easier than parking your car and sitting down; unless you have a hard time deciding what you want...then you might need to knock the score down a bit.
