Oval Office Pub & Grub

The Myrtle Burger was a major disappointment. I liked that they LOADED the burger with grilled onions, however, they were way too salty and tasted like beef broth. Don't even get me started on the soggy buns...so wet it was flattened out and tasted like greasy mush.  I like a greasy burger but this was overkill. The meat was decent-maybe the regular cheeseburger is good.  I ordered to-go so maybe it's less greasy when you eat in? I may give it another shot. I liked the corn nuggets...never had them before so not much to compare them to but they were sweet and salty and crunchy.

Husband got the fried pork burger. bleh. Thin pork patty that didn't really appear to be pork. Flavor was okay.

Wish I could have loved this local joint!!

(Very friendly staff fyi!)

The burgers are 6-oz. patties and cooked to your specification.  I ordered mine medium, and it came medium-rare.  Not a deal-breaker, because I was hungry and had to eat.  As Brian M. said, the burgers are incredibly greasy.  Not juicy...greasy.  I kind of like greasy burgers, but if you don't eat quickly, your bottom bun will become paste.

When my cheeseburger was delivered, it had the unmistakable stench of onions, although I ordered an onion-free burger.  I was told that the burgers are cooked on the same griddle as the (apparently copious amounts of) onions, a la Krystal.  The very nice lady offered to take it and have another fried on a griddle specifically designated as "onion free," but I was seriously hungry.  I am allergic to onions, but it's not a life-threatening allergy...they just make me bleed inside for a bit and give me explosive...ah, nevermind.  Point is, if you don't like or don't eat onions, tell them when you order.

The cheeseburger was pretty good.  Somebody said that Wednesdays are $2 burgers (or $2 off?), which would be about right.  The menu price is $7.49, which is high for a cheeseburger, IMO.  The only saving grace, and why I wasn't dissatisfied when I left, was that fries come with the burger.  Not a little pile of fries, either...an entire basket of tasty, hot tater sticks, of the frozen, non-crinkle cut variety.  Wherever you roost, you'll have squeeze bottles of ketchup and mustard within grabbing distance, so that's a plus.  Mayonnaise is delivered on a case-by-case basis in a little plastic cup from the kitchen.

Fresh veggies, which somebody else also mentioned.  A sweet, yet firm, big slice of ripe tomato (wish that I could find some at the grocery like that!), crispy lettuce, and the best burger pickle slices around...might be Vlasic or Claussen.

The teevees are outdated and small, but there are quite a few adorning the unassuming interior.  The staff was very friendly, attentive, and efficient.  I would go back again.

Man, what a find!

Had the day off today and decided to hit this place up based on Yelp reviews of their burger.  My pal and I were the only two dudes in the place and our arrival interrupted the two server/bartenders on their break.  They were only too happy to be interrupted; both were genuinely friendly and took excellent care of us.

As others have noted, the place is pretty unassuming from the outside, but if you're looking for Parisian ambiance in a burger joint, you should stop reading this review now and discard any of my reviews you stumble upon in the future, as you and I live in separate universes and share nothing in common.

The burger was really, really good.  I ordered mine no-frills:  pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, and gator sauce on the side.  You can add bacon for a buck, my compatriot did and was very pleased.  I thought mine was delicious.  The only -- and I mean only -- thing I could critique was the juiciness/greasiness factor.  Some reviewers have called it strictly greasy.  There's definitely some grease but I think most of the liquid is juice from the  meat, especially if you order it less than medium-well done.  It was wet and a little sloppy but it was so good I ordered and entirely consumed another identical burger immediately after finishing the first.

Because of their "$2 Burger Wednesdays" (specifics described below), my order of two burgers and one iced tea came out to $9.30.  This would be a really incredible value even for a mediocre burger, and this thing was damn good.

*Every Wednesday $2 burgers all day with purchase of a soda/ beer (add 50¢ for cheese, 25¢ for L/T/O, 50¢ for grilled onions or jalapenos, $1 for bacon, and 25¢ for sauce)*
