We have had a burger at Krazy Jim's before, but that was the old location. We had gone there after watching them on a t.v. show. Then they closed because the Uof M had bought their building. They later re-opened again in downtown Ann Arbor so we decided to try them again. We found parking on a side street next to Ashley street where the restaurant is now located. After walking up the mountain tht they placed the side street on, we entered the door. The waitress was giving people menus. Right away, I told my wife we were in the wrong place. Sure enough we had gone to the Fleetwood Diner and not Blimpy Burger.We quickly exited and wen next door to Blimpy.
At Blimpy there are rules. First you go to the counter and order what you want from the fryer. They offer fries, onion rings and other vegetables fried in canola oil. Don't forget to grab a tray if you are eating there, and no cell phones in line. Next you tell them how many patties you like. They also have a veggie burger and chicken , The hamburger patties are small and squished on the grill. The meat is ground from western chuck..We ordered three which the chart said brought us to a quarter pound, Would you like any grilled items? You are then asked what bun you would like. They have several to choose from. You are then asked if you would like cheese and what kind of cheese. Lastly you are asked what condiments you would like,, They claim there are over 2 billion combinations. I chose 3 patties on a kaiser bun with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, mayo and mustard. Eebbel had an onion bum with American cheese, but other than that, same as me. I tried the rings.
While I liked all the choices, we found themeat to be on the bland tasteless side. The rings were looking home made,meaning no batter at all, just what flour managed to stay on during the frying process. The kind of rings that make you not to do rings at home, they serve, I would go there once to try but now thatwe went twice, we had our fill. If ypu would like to try them for yourself, you can find them at 304 Ashley Street in Ann Arbor or on the web at:http://www.blimpyburger.com/index.html
