Get Local with PentictonNow: Featuring Burger 55

WARNING: you're going to be drooling by the end of this article.

This past weekend we headed downtown Penticton to Burger 55, and they are absolutely KILLING the burger game.

And not only that, the whole experience from when you walk in the door is unique.

When you walk in, the first thing you do is grab a clipboard that's hanging on the wall which has a checklist of menu items.

Now this is not an ordinary menu, but a whole page of customizable options to build your burger. (oh, and you can also build your poutine.)

First step is choosing between the eight different kinds of patties, ranging from beef, chicken, mushroom, lamb, bison, salmon and even ahi tuna.

Once you've made this tough decision, you can choose between seven bun choices and ten cheese options.

Next comes home-made sauces, toppings and premium toppings. This alone took us about ten minutes.

Once the burger has been built, you move onto sides. They have the usual fries, sweet potato fries, corn dogs and onion rings, but like we said before, build your own poutine. And yes, you can have mac and cheese as a topping.

The last choice is of course, what will you be gulping down while enjoying this ultimate spread. Aside from the fountain drinks, they also have mastered the milkshake, and feature a shake of the month.

Another cool beverage option is their 55 root beer draught which was very refreshing.

After completing your form, make sure you put your name on it, because that's how they'll serve you your meal. When they call your name you'll get a tray and you can sit and enjoy your burger goodness at one of their communal tables, or grab a spot on their patio!

All in all, some of the best burgers that we have ever had.

Hey, and don't just take our word for it. With multiple Best of South Okanagan Awards, Business of the Year Award and two Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, Burger 55 and their team has got it figured out.

Fun fact: Burger 55 offers lots of weekly specials

Why we love it: The fact we can customize with our favourite toppings, and that they have vegetarian options!

Where: 52 Front Street, Penticton BC - keep an eye out for the little white signs with the Burger 55 logo, it's kind of down a back alley!
