Steamed Burger Bar

that website link does not works.

I stopped into Steam Burger Bar last week for lunch after seeing the lunch special sign — $ 7 for a steamed burger, fries or onion rings, and a soda ($ 1 more to add cheese, which still isn’t a bad deal). It was a pretty solid lunch. You can’t really do a steamed burger wrong — it was nice and juicy from being steamed, and it came together well with the cheese, which was a sharp cheddar. It wasn’t the best steamed cheeseburger I’ve ever had — it was a little messy and there was less meat than other steamed burgers I’ve had — but it was good. I got my fries a little later, and they were fine too. They could have been a little more crispy, but I got a lot of them, so I can’t complain too much.
I didn’t know when I walked in that this place wasn’t K. LaMay’s anymore. Being from Meriden, the home of the steamed cheeseburger, I’m a big fan of both Ted’s and K. LaMay’s, and I was looking forward to K. LaMay’s. The staff assured me it was pretty much the same thing, and they were mostly right — it was pretty close. Ownership was transferred last June, and the menu is a little different — it also includes pitas, falafel, and other appetizer-​type foods.
The staff was friendly, and there was a friendly vibe to the place. There were a few people there having lunch by themselves that afternoon. I offered to share my fries with a guy sitting a few seats down from me, and we had a very pleasant conversation. Overall, even though it doesn’t make the best steamed cheeseburger, it’s a nice place.
