Ate from there the other day. It was soft and mushy but also flavorful in a way that I missed and it kind of remided me of the burgers they sold at the school cafteria. If I eat burgers I usually eat from smaller places since they have better ingredients and much much better fries, and I don't like giving money to the international megacorp. But those places all make 'fancy' burgers with a meaty patty, toasted buns, fancy sauces/toppings etc. No option to have a thin patty with standard toppings and standard sauces between standard bread..

Even the medium size chains go for quality bread and think themselves too fancy to use ketchup+mayo as sauces. They also either don't use pickles and onions, use them in trace quantities or use fancy pickles, fried onions and such

I mean there are fancy burgers around, but most towns in Washington have a greasy burger joint like what you are describing. Maybe it is regional?

Fancy pickles are always such a disappointment to my taste buds. I do appreciate a fancy cheese occasionally.

Occasionally would be good for both for me. That way they stand out when they are fancy. Not that I've seen much fancy cheese in burgers, it's either yellow sandwich cheese, orange sandwich cheese or halloumi, which feels more like a cheese patty than a topping
