Little Bitty Burger Barn
The place is a stereotypical dive. Small. Not fancy. A few tables inside. Additional picnic table seating outside. Order at the counter. You know the type. Little Bitty's does actually offer many ordering options from the Basic Burger (of course!) to wings, salads, sandwiches, etc. Again, what you'd expect from a place that has "Burger Barn" in the name.

I tried the 1/4 lb. Cheeseburger ($5.25). That's all I have to say. Yes, that is about the extent of my thoughts on it. The lack of exciting descriptive language might give a hint that I found the burger to be, well, pretty boring. No pizazz. No juiciness. No flavorful seasons. Just dull. The Onion Rings were just as disappointing. The batter didn't crunch. And, the Rings didn't have that great sweetness that I love in an onion ring.

My dining companion tried out the Ultimate Jalapeno Cheeseburger ($6.25). Although the burger was indeed spicy, his sentiments matched mine. Disappointing burger. He ordered a side of the Cajun Fries, and while they had more flavor than the regular fries, tater tots, and onion rings, the fries were still limp, no zest, no crunchiness. Just so ho-hum. Disappointing for home-cut taters.

Let me end on a couple of higher notes. First, the Big Dog ($4.25) was big, beefy, and juicy. It was really good! We enjoyed the dog more than anything else we tried (even if the regular fries were a let down).

Okay, so the other high note worth mentioning about Little Bitty Burger Barn is (okay,well, it's two): Charlie's 5 Alarm Fire Burger ($7.95) and the Little Bitty Double Dare ($24.95). The Double Dare contains 2 lbs patties topped with cheese, jalapenos, bacon, and BBQ Sauce. If you eat the whole thing, you get a t-shirt and your picture taken for their wall.
Order the 5 Alarm Fire Burger, and you get a hat!
Even more impressive is the....Fire Burger. The 5 Alarm Fire Burger even comes complete with a siren sounded upon the delivery of the burger and a fireman's hat. We actually sat next to a guy who ordered this insane burger. In fact, it was so hot, he couldn't even finish it. It ripped his stomach. Two of his friends, who had also tried the Fire Burger previously, said it was THE hottest thing you can imagine. And, from the looks of the guy eating today -- they were right. This guy looked like he wanted to die. So, for the non-faint-of-heart, go check out the Fire Burger. The burgers may not be fantabulous at Little Bitty Burger Barn, but I guess if you want to challenge your gastrointestinal power, it doesn't really matter what the burger tastes like, you are just surviving!
