There is something distinct about a Salisbury House nip, other than the fact that they are called 'nips' and owned by The Guess Who former frontman Burton Cummings.
No, Sals nips are distinct in their own right due to their own glorious taste. Always piping hot, the nips come on a soft, thin bun. The meat has all the right things going on - garlic, onions, and otherdelicious unspecified seasonings. A big thing for me with food is texture. If the texture is off, if I suddenly bite into something hard or gummy while trying to enjoy a hamburger, the experience is instantly ruined and I get turned off of the restuarant for a while. But I have never had this experience at Sals. Consistant, delicious, and comforting (maybe that should go on their sign).
I think the main thing that makes Sals burgers so good is the carmelized onions. The slight crunch and sweet taste combined with the soft burger and bun make this a tastebud treat. Its worth a try, beleieve me.
VERDICT: I want to go eat one RIGHT NOW.
