If you’ve never eaten at B&D Burgers, you are either a freshman, a vegetarian or have been hiding under a rock.First opened by Ray Abassi’s brother in 1981, B&D Burgers is now under the care of Abbasi and Joe Nahvi. Something you may not know is what the B and the D stand for. “Big and Delicious”-and boy, are they. Abassi offers a very simple explanation for this assessment of his and Nahvi’s burgers: “Quality and freshness” govern the duo’s every move.The buns are made fresh daily and locally, and the chicken is marinated to offer a fuller flavor. Freshly chopped lettuce and vine-ripened tomatoes complement their high-quality fresh meats. The owners take pride in using the best ingredients possible and in creating new menu items. There are more shake flavors than you can shake a stick at, and they’re not afraid of a challenge. Try pumpkin and mint, if you dare, or the classic cookies ‘n’ cream. B&D prices are comparable to chain fast food places ($5.29-$6.49 for a combo), but the quality is out of this world.Tuesdays are dollar-burger days, and salads, gyros, kabobs and fish & chips are offered. B&D also offers sandwiches and hot subs, and the house specialty is homemade zucchini fries.
