J Michael's Burger Dip, Redmond, WA
I really liked this burger dip. J Michael's is a funny little place in Redmond. They had the Seahawks on there one day and they have pull tabs, which sounded like a fun activity, so we went for it. I had to show off my reviewing skills so here we are.
Bread 4. Pretty god.
Meat 4. Burger good and plentiful and had a little char flavor to it that could have been an accident but added character and richness.
Non-Meat Toppings 4. Onions were good and cheese was fine.
Jus 4. Salty and good with a nice flavor.
Overall 5. I have to give this a 5 because I really did like everything about it and wouldn't really change much. Nice job, J Michael's.

Summary
Bread 3. Too absorbent. Nicely toasted, buttered, okay size.Meat 4. Pretty good meat. No real complaints. Was juicy, too. Plentiful.
Non-Meat Toppings 4. They added something. (Cheese, onions, peppers). Peppers made it look good and seem fancy.
Jus 4. Good smelling. Was initally hot, came in a large container. Additional richness and it could have made the whole sandwich a 5.
Overall 4. Was quite well done and fun to eat but I think the somewhat weak jus made it less then perfect. The sandwich alone was good but dry and I hoped the jus would save the day; it helped but didn't rescue it fully, in the end.

Summary

Non-Meat Toppings 3. White cheese ok. Horseradish cream on side ok.
Jus 2. Overly salty with not the correct rich and beefy flavor.
Overall 3. What a person might expect at a golf course.
