Today it took us to Poe's Tavern in the. Jacksonville beach area. Thank you Nicole for giving us the recommendation. When we ordered the hamburger of course the first question was how do you want it cooked. Of course right away I thought to myself I wonder if they actually going to cook it this way. I ordered mine medium rare. Here goes there first plus point because, guess what, I got my hamburger medium rare. As you can see from the picture the burger looked already awesome. It was a good sized hamburger everything looked delicious . Let's see if looks can be deceiving. I took a cut through the hamburgers to see if it was cooked just as I ordered it and it looked perfect .
Now I took my first bite . The juices were flowing from the meat and it tasted oh so good . While I am continuing to eat the hamburger I'm starting to taste some spices, the lettuce, the pickles and the chili that I ordered to be on top of it and not to forget the cheese to finish it all off. After I took a few more bites I started to compare in my mind the burger to other reviews that we've done. The hamburger tasted great but it didn't taste as good as it looked. To me the lettuce and pickles just had an ordinary taste nothing special like the place we reviewed before where you thought everything was just picked out of a garden just for your burger. Don't get me wrong this was a very good burger and that is why I gave it a score of 8. What was missing here was the extra touch the wow factor. Would I come here just for a hamburger, I think I would just for the atmosphere and how great Poe's looks, it is an experience. The waiter staff was attentive and we didn't have to wait long to get the service. Because I'm looking also at the rest of the meal like the french fries and the onion rings, I do have to mention that I was not impressed with those items . They were very greasy and did not compliment the burger . In my opinion this is one of the good hamburgers in Jacksonville but is it the best? No it's not, so the hunt continues..........
