House Grind Burger with Focaccia Roll from The Fix on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, MA

Entering The Fix Burger Bar I got the feeling of high energy, a little loud but very dynamic. This feeling made me want to grab a drink and have a good time with friends and enjoy life.

A friendly server asked us immediately upon entering if they could assist us. Our party had already arrived and were having a drink at the bar so we made our way to them.

Our table and companions for the evening was quite large with around 15 people.  The server assigned to us was likable and friendly, she was attentive but I felt some of the service with receiving our orders was a little slow the waitress apologized several times and told us the kitchen was overwhelmed (plus, we did have a large party in addition to the restaurant being full). I totally understood and the restaurant made up for the long time in receiving our order; I felt they did everything they could to make our meal enjoyable.

I am a huge fan of red sangria and was not disappointed when I ordered my first glass.

Being known for their burgers I had to order one. I chose the house grind combination for my burger with a focaccia roll and I chose to have it with blue cheese and crispy fried prosciutto. It was cooked exactly how I ordered it: “medium”.  I chose the veggie fries to go with it; they were a combination of summer squash, zucchini and eggplant. They were lightly battered and thinly sliced. An excellent choice if you do not want to go with the usual French fry option.

We had several appetizers brought out to us as we waited for our meals to be served. The Polenta “tots” or nuggets were amazing. Crisp and deep-fried on the outside with creamy polenta and cheese on the inside. The short rib nachos were another hit with shredded meat and BBQ sauce over crisp tortilla chips.

Overall, a fun place to grab a burger and a drink with friends.

Burger Special at Livia’s Dish

Burger Special at Livia's Dish on Main Street in Worcester, MA

Burger Special at Livia's Dish on Main Street in Worcester, MAI was looking forward to our Foodies visit to Livia’s Dish as I had heard great things about it from friends in the past but had yet to make it out that way. One thing they mentioned specifically was the Wednesday night $5 burger special. With homemade fries included, this sounded like a steal. When I realized that our visit was on a Wednesday night, my meal choice was obvious – though the rest of the small but creative menu was very tempting! I went with the burger special and added bacon and chipotle mayo for a small additional cost. When the burger arrived I was very pleased with my decision. The roll was perfectly browned and appeared house made, which was later confirmed by our server. The burger was juicy though cooked a bit more than my requested medium. The bacon and chipotle sauce added flavor while the lettuce added crunch. Once I tried the fries I was really kicking myself for not checking out the special sooner. They were shoestring style and crispy just the way I like them. Bits of skin added color and flavor (and vitamins!). My neighbors at the table agreed, these fries were winners. I was very pleased with my dinner choice and would definitely go back to this family run local business with expectations for another delicious meal.
