I have to agree with you on the Brocolli Blasted. All my friends seemed to love it, but I wouldn’t order it again. The bechemel pizza though is another story.

Since the biggest problem with the burger was overcooking, I'm not surprised they sometimes (maybe even most of the time, for all I know) got it right, even before my review.</p> Glad you had a good experience, Lani.

It was great! The food was fantastic - I really liked the fries, the burger was solidly good, and the shakes were to-die-for. Thanks for re-reviewing this, and for sharing how responsive the owner was.</p> Hey, I actually went to Zak’s per your recommendation on the shakes in your review, and I was totally prepared to be disappointed about the burger (this was about a month ago).

I would still choose Red Mill over Zak’s, partly because of the bun issue and partly because I like the verde and red onion jam burgers at the Mill. But Zak’s is definitely good.
