and grass-fed beef.
Biltmore Park Town Square, the planned community off Exit 37 on I-26 in South Asheville, has slowly come to life.
It is now officially booming. On this mid-January night it was still glowing with the festive winter lights of the holidays making the visit extra special. Our destination was BT’s Burgerjoint, located just steps away from the movie theater.
If nostalgia has you yearning for a trip back to a 1950s burger joint for that magical all-American combo of a burger, French fries and a milkshake than wait no more. BT’s Burgerjoint may look like 2015, but the taste is undeniably the fresh and flavorful food of yesteryear. But unlike the good-ol’-days, this burger joint offers the creative additions of the New American palate, with all the choices we’ve come to expect (and if you have diet restrictions you’ve come to depend on). There’s also a huge beer selection that won’t disappoint the locals or our visitors.
Walk in and discover the style of service. Order at the counter, pay and they bring your order to your table. The service is outstanding and attentive. They know the importance of weekday quick lunch service, but take your time and relax for dinner. All while enjoying the high quality of real and delicious food, cooked to order.
BT’s Burgerjoint offers grain-fed and grass-fed beef that comes in fresh, never frozen, every other day. The burgers are 7 oz. and cost about $6 to $8. It’s so simple, but you’re going to love the choices! 9 cheeses, 9 sauces, and a dozen toppings – the combinations are endless to get you to that soul-satisfying burger. And if burgers aren’t your thing, they have chicken sandwiches, turkey burgers and hot dogs.
For the vegetarian, there’s a garden burger, or ask for the new black bean burger, available by request. Go for the Black Bean burger with sweet potato fries, we did. These fries come with a house made honey butter sauce that really works.
For the buns, choose white, whole wheat, pretzel bread or gluten free. Yes, pretzel bread. They have a Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger with honey mustard. I’m pretty sure you haven’t had that one yet…it was smoky, sweet and scrumptious. Another favorite burger is the Carolina Burger with cheese, mustard, chili and slaw – all those Carolina flavors on one juicy burger. We tried several sides including sliced and made fresh French fries, but our favorite was the fried pickles. My husband doesn’t even care for pickles, but we both loved them!
BT’s is a family spot so bring the kids. Under 10 year olds have their own menu with lots of choices and each comes with drink, side and dessert. All for around $5, that’s a great deal.
On the drink side BT’s carries about 50 beers of which 8 are on rotating taps. About half the beers are local. They also carry Sutter Home wines.
Did I mention the milkshakes? Make room, they’re thick, rich and creamy, made to order with real ice cream! We had chocolate, ‘cuz, you know, it’s chocolate, and it was the old-timey real taste of a milkshake!
They have daily specials too, dreamed up by the staff, so check the board when you walk in. BT’s is a fairly large joint with plenty of seating, and outside covered seating for about 30 more. Even in the winter Asheville gets those sunny warm days that go with a juicy home-style burger!
And if you happen to be a moviegoer bring in your stub for a 10% discount that day. Who doesn’t love dinner and a movie? It’s the perfect casual date. From the 50s to today, it’s hard to beat the fun and yum of a GREAT burger joint!
