The first time I drove up to Eau Claire, I noticed some Beef-a-Roo restaurants and was intrigued by the name. Yet, somehow, I kept missing the stops on trying to visit. One time I was in the wrong lane, another time was the place looked closed. So, it was my mission to hit it up this time around. I had actually stopped at one in Rockford after getting Velvet Robot Coffee Lab but the place was packed and the wait was longer than I wanted.
Beef-a-Roo to the rescue on my way home. I stopped by around 2pm so there was no lunch rush to contend with. I knew what I already wanted from looking at their menu from before. I got the jalapeno bacon burger with a medium fry and soda. While I was waiting for my food, I noticed they had some stickers for sale. I asked for the retro cowboy one but those were out, so I got the large circular one instead. My food only took a few minutes to be ready and I was quick to sit down and dig in.
Maybe it was from experiencing all the local places in Wisconsin but Beef-a-Roo was not worth the hype and wait. The fries were good if not anything more than average. The problem was the jalapeno bacon burger. For it having jalapeno, they were the most neutered things ever. They had no spice or flavor at all. The bacon on the burger was good when I ate the pieces that hung off the edges but had no flavor once consumed with the rest of the burger. As for the meat patty itself, it was overly greasy to the point where I think that killed any flavor that the rest of the burger may have provided.
Luckily it did do the job and fill me up for the rest of the drive home and keep me satiated until breakfast the next day but man, how disappointing it was to have a burger just fail to deliver on any flavor. As I sit here and write this the day after, I honestly struggle to remember anything about how it tasted.
I can say there were some positives about Beef-a-Roo. The staff were fast and friendly. The young girl who went hunting for my sticker was awesome at her job. And when you get your food, they give you an Andes mint. At least that has some taste.
Maybe it was just this location but I definitely have some beef with this place now. Jokes aside, if I ever find myself at a Beef-a-Roo again, I will give their roast beef sandwiches a fair shake. Maybe that’s where they excel that.
Big mistake! I fell for the long line trap and it was a total disaster. The lady taking orders was about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine, and the food? Smelled like crayons and tasted even worse. Won’t be back
