Mixed review on 50/50 but worth giving them a try!

Just off of Santa Ana Canyon Rd. and Fairmont in the Big Lots center stands
Slater's 50/50 Hamburgers by Design . 50/50 is a small busy sports bar that serves an array of predetermined burgers and allows you to design your own if you prefer. They have an extensive variety of buns, cheese, sauce, toppings and meats. Their specialty is the 50/50 patty- 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon (very tasty). You can also select a 100% beef patty, a fire patty (ground beef with chopped chiles), a ground turkey patty, chicken breast or veggie patty. Toppings include 11 different cheeses, 16 sauces and many designer toppings such as peanut butter and jelly, fried egg, holiday stuffing, pastrami and many more. You also pick the size burger patty 1/3, 2/3, or 1 lb.
We ordered the pick 4 appetizer and chose sweet potato fries, fried artichoke hearts, fried pickle chips and onion strings. They were all very good and came with many sauces for dipping. We all took at least half our hamburgers home because we were stuffed! The food was very good for that type of thing but the experience was not, unfortunately.
It took over an hour to get our food and when it did arrive 4 out of 5 of our orders were incorrect. The waitress was very sweet but I'm not sure what was happening in the kitchen! But 50/50 regained my faith by taking my daughters order off the check and including coupons for 2 free hamburgers next time. I didn't even have to ask for compensation. I think 50/50 will do quite well and I'm sure the kitchen staff will figure things out. I recommend trying this place for a good burger, just don't be in a hurry.
