LH’s newest restaurant opened last week, so we decided to pay them a visit and check out the goods.

Officially opening Tuesday, February 9th, Burger Spot is located in shopping center at Skillman and Audelia, just around the corner from Tom Thumb.

Turns out, the owners know a thing or two about the restaurant business.

The father and son team of Devrin and John Harris are former owners of the ever-popular Celebrity Café, which they sold back in February of ’08.

We visited with Devrin while waiting on our lunch, and he told us all about the Burger Spot concept.

“My dad designed the menu, but everything else you see here is the realization of a long-time dream for me. The design concept was something of a brainchild,” he says.

Burger Spot’s menu items range from just over $3.00 for the Mac-n-Cheese appetizer to $8.95 for the Grilled K-Bob salad.

Burger combos are an up-charge of $2.75, which include fries and a large drink.

In total, they feature 13 different kinds of burgers and five different salads. “We're using the same homemade salad dressings we had available at Celebrity Café, so we’re pretty proud of the salads on the menu,” says Devrin.

After ordering, complimentary fresh popcorn was brought by our table by Devrin’s wife, Taylor, who works the front counter.

For lunch we ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, Crispy Chicken Grilled Tender Salad and the Home-Style Cheddar Mac-n-Cheese. (We just had to try it!)

The burger was cooked to perfection, the salad was fresh and the mac-n-cheese was rich, but not too heavy. Our thin sweet potato fries (tossed in cinnamon and sugar) were the perfect compliment to the meal.

We had plenty of mac-n-cheese left over, so we took some home to our all-world mac-n-cheese testers, the kids. It passed the ultimate taste test with flying colors.

“The mac-n-cheese is what we eat for Thanksgiving at our house every year,” says Devrin. “It’s my Dad’s recipe, so we definitely wanted it on the menu.”

Toward the end of our meal, Devrin dropped off a basked of Funnel Cake Fries topped with powdered sugar. Kinda felt like we were at the State Fair as we shared them with our fellow diners, and then we went home and took a long nap!
