Review
Mediocre locally, decent globally.

This may be a hot take but I'm willing to bet that if you built a burger with nothing but Pop's patty and bun and nothing else, it would still probably be an above average burger on this list.

In fact, the only thing that can ruin a Pop's burger, I find, is the choice of ill-considered ingredients, as you can deduce from the lower rated Pop's burgers. Like this one.

Things just don't come together on this one. The harmony is in disarray. Insert other flowery descriptions.

I'm not exactly sure what's missing here if I'm being honest. Gun to my head (not sure why you'd be threatening me over such a trivial matter but OK), I'd tweak the sauce and add a richer ingredient. Caramelized onions, maybe?

The point is, it's still good compared to burgers from other joints but I wouldn't be keen to order it at Pop's. So many better choices.
