Burke Patch Burger Battle: Boardwalk vs. BGR

What do YOU think about the burger joints right around the corner from each other in West Springfield?

When Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries , right around the corner from where , we knew we had a Burger Battle on our hands.

Twitter user @SandwichesRule said it to us best - 

@BurkePatch Looks like Burke has a Burger battle going on. BGR just a minute walk away. Boardwalk closer to high school.

"I like BGR a little better. Happy to have both around though. Wish they were a bit cheaper. ...now bring me a Chipotle! :)" - Justin Smith said via Facebook

"Bgr for sure." - Jessica Reed Bradley said via Facebook

"While BGR is more expensive, the quality is MUCH better.  Eating at Boardwalk's is no different than eating at McDonald's - same price, same atmosphere, same thin burger and same mediocre food.  Boardwalk's is just not worth it!" One reader said via e-mail.

On the pro-Boardwalk side:

"BGR is overpriced and really not that great, tastes a lot like cafeteria food but it is VERY expensive. Fries are soggy too. Horrible value and I likely will never go back there. Boardwalk is much much better, fries are awesome, burgers are much better although not the best." Jerry Brumbaugh said via e-mail.

"Boardwalk is SOOOO much better. BGR is way too expensive!" Michelle Hood Clark said via Facebook.

 

The Five Guys Fans:

 @BurkePatch make sure you have vote for neither - I have a feeling it will win. @brumbje said via Twitter on June 21.

"Five Guys still keeps the crown for best burger AND best value in the area. I'd rather drive to Backlick Rd for Five Guys than walk to Boardwalk or BGR." Jerry Brumbaugh said via e-mail.

"Stomach problems after eating at Wendy’s last night. OOPS – it wasn’t Wendy’s. It was Boardwalk’s. What a horrible meal. Five Guy’s is the best of the lot and if I have to choose, BGR is much better than Boardwalk’s. I will NEVER go back to Boardwalk’s and I eat a lot of burgers..." Richard Oppenheim said via e-mail.

"Sadly, I haven't been impressed with either of them (there is a Boardwalk in Manchester). Maybe Five guys can move into the Cardinal Forest Shopping Plaza." Stacey Brumbaugh said via Facebook.
